As the story progresses, the excessive adoration of the main character, Luc, starts to feel uncomfortable and even nauseating, especially considering how mindless it often is. I initially intended to rate it one star, but I'll give it a pass due to its readability.
Let's focus on Luc. The plot relies heavily on the cliché that the主角's imagination makes them magically skilled; however, there's no explanation for his extraordinary abilities. Also, Luc's physical appearance is constantly highlighted, yet unexplained beauty enhancements are conveniently glossed over. The story frequently mentions his magical power that allows him to control others to do his exercises and combat training, which feels implausible.
Luc is portrayed as kind and charitable, but these traits are often exaggerated. His supposed selflessness amounts to simply donating money and accompanying his fiancée to orphanages, which is a lazy approach. The reactions people have to his actions are disproportionate.
The way Luc obtained his fiancée is particularly unconvincing – he noticed she could cook and decided it was useful,求婚于此. This lack of depth in character development is disappointing.
The issue lies not only with Luc but also with the other characters who blindly idolize him. They're so infatuated with his looks and perceived benevolence that it becomes off-putting. For instance, some people praise him to the point of obsession, while others are grateful for minor contributions like a visit to an orphanage.
The女主角's admiration for Luc based on his strength feels forced, especially when there's no real earning or growth shown. The supporting characters, including the heroines, are unlikable and seem one-dimensional, with the original heroine from the original story being a stark contrast.
Some specific points worth mentioning:
- Luc's seemingly effortless creation of a powerful magical creature remains unexplained.
- One of the heroines, a magician's daughter, is unnecessarily hostile towards the original MC because he's seen as an enemy of Luc. This illogical behavior does little to advance the story.
- The act of helping an orphanage is reduced to a shallow reason for marriage proposals, making it seem manipulative and superficial.
Lastly, the idea of classmates openly discussing their desire to marry Luc solely based on superficial criteria is cringe-worthy, with the exception of the merchant girl, who at least admits her intentions honestly.
In summary, while the story might have some redeeming qualities, the excessive adoration of the protagonist, lack of explanation for his abilities, and shallow character interactions make it an uncomfortable read.
