One Hundred Ways to Become a God - Reviews

This narrative bears a resemblance to "Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil," prompting inevitable comparisons. Despite the similarity, "Quickly" offers a more extensive and intricate plot, whereas this story lacks finesse and includes unnecessary details. For instance, the scene where the protagonist asks the male lead about a plant they encountered on an island, only for the ML to admit ignorance, feels irrelevant and serves no clear purpose.

Moreover, unlike "Quickly," the protagonist here encounters fewer challenges, almost as if fate is overly favorable to him. His encounters with adversity often resolve swiftly due to his and the ML's power, leading to instances where the story feels stretched for length solely to emphasize the ML's affection. This makes the protagonist appear more passive, akin to a mob figure or an observer rather than an active participant.

As an avid reader of many BL stories, this particular novel occasionally frustrated me with its predictability and reliance on clichés. At times, I found myself considering dropping it, but my completionist tendencies kept me going, hoping for a redemption arc. Alas, that didn't always happen.

On the positive side, the male lead shines, mirroring the possessive and devoted traits found in "Quickly." He is easily identifiable, which is a plus. However, the protagonist himself is a classic overpowered character, making it predictable and less engaging.

Additionally, some supporting characters lack depth, appearing without emotional impact, serving mainly as plot devices for the protagonist's journey.

In conclusion, this story isn't terrible but falls short of greatness. There's potential for improvement, but it's a middling read at best. If you're looking for something to pass the time and are open to a familiar trope, then you might consider giving it a chance. But don't expect any groundbreaking surprises.

Another fantastic tale that leans more towards slow wear. Each arc is significantly longer, around 25 chapters, which is roughly double the typical fast-paced format. I appreciated the slower pace, allowing for deeper exploration of the MC and ML's relationship,尽管smut scenes were less frequent. It was a bit sad, but the quick reunions between the main characters were a delight. While I had personal preferences for some arcs over others, particularly those showcasing the MC's assertiveness and skills, the change in pace was refreshing. The ML's cuteness remained consistent, and the MC was equally delightful and supportive. The confusion surrounding the ML's identity in the reality arc left me intrigued, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this story.

The story primarily revolves around romance, with a touch of slapstick comedy thrown in. The main characters, MC and ML, have an easygoing journey so far, where no real threats seem to pose a danger. Any potential threats are swiftly resolved, so there's no extensive portrayal of intricate plots. Instead, readers witness the planning, failure, and consequences faced by those involved. I'm fairly certain this pattern will continue. If you can overlook that, it makes for an entertaining read.

It's rather monotonous. The story arc felt excessively drawn out. The main character (MC) and the love interest (ML) met in the very first chapter, with the ML instantly falling for the MC. He then insisted on bringing her to live with him. There aren't many compelling conflicts or obstacles, yet the story drags on for an astonishing 24 chapters (and likely even more to come), which makes it quite tedious.
