Need update
I've completed the main storyline, but stopped reading the after-story after a few chapters. I finished this a year ago. The premise of the story is decent, but the issue lies with the protagonist's plot armor and inconsistent character development. There are spoilers ahead.
Character-wise:
1. The protagonist starts off as a likable character with a broken ability called transmutation. However, he only realizes its potential after suffering immense pain when his arm is bitten off. This realization leads to him creating powerful gadgets, like guns, during his transformation.
2. One positive aspect is the meticulous planning he does before major battles, which adds depth to the action scenes. Side characters are usually not useless, but they have plot armor in the form of a harem. Although some cliches are present, they can be entertaining, but the author relies heavily on the same comedic tropes, like Yue and the rabbit chick's friendly rivalry.
3. The humor remains repetitive, and relationships between characters mainly revolve around the protagonist, making them feel one-dimensional. The dragon chick, for example, is portrayed solely as a masochist without any other depth. The harem feels like a collection of stereotypes.
Moving on to the story, world, combat, and transmutation:
1. The plot is rather generic: protagonist builds a harem, gains strength, fights a sadistic god, and returns to Japan. It lacks originality.
2. However, the world-building is where the story shines. Dungeons created by different groups seeking to defeat the evil god provide a unique backdrop. Exploring these dungeons allows the protagonist to grow stronger and gain new harem members, each with their own powers and items.
3. The cities and towns add a nice touch, enhancing the overall atmosphere. Combat is enjoyable, featuring a stat-based system with the protagonist's transmutation ability, allowing him to create diverse weapons and tools, adding a fresh twist to combat scenarios.
In conclusion, while the story follows familiar cliches and lacks originality, the engaging world-building and combat elements made the experience enjoyable for me. The villains were mostly interesting, except for the final one, which felt underwhelming.
This is indeed quite intriguing. Unlike the protagonist in Son-con, our new lead character is suddenly thrust into an entirely unfamiliar world with zero assets – no privileged status, no access to training or power-ups. Prior to this, he was simply a secretary, his main skill seemingly being the ability to flatter others.
Nonetheless, he must now safeguard his newfound daughter in a perilous environment. With only a few chapters, it's hard to provide a comprehensive evaluation. Frankly, I don't usually do reviews. However, I'm hopeful that the story will gather momentum. There's definite potential here.
Depression? I'm in. I wanna see how her healing process happens.
This marks my first occasion writing a review for a completed novel, and I feel compelled to share my thoughts. If you consider yourself a feminist and hold the essence of the movement dear, I strongly advise against reading this book. Although another reviewer has already pointed out the negative portrayal of women, I must emphasize that it is indeed the case. The protagonist is essentially a male-identified female with an off-kilter understanding of self-sufficiency for women.
The only positive aspect I can commend is the exceptional translation. It's unfortunate, as I initially found the concept intriguing.
I am back once again to re-read this?
im a sneaky little b*st*rd.
Please update the novel
It's basically the same as most games you play. Lower quality items come in quantities. E.g. getting 10,000 gold or getting 1 legendary item, etc. When he moves to better locations that have 'higher dao accumulation' its like getting a rare chest instead of a common one, so the chances of receiving higher tier items in multiple quantities is increased.
I’m sooooooo sorry but the crown prince is a piece of shit
Why does it have a "r*pe" tag?
This narrative does an impressive job with the concept of misunderstandings within a troupe, showcasing a rich and... let's call it 'distinctive' world-building. Despite its familiarity, being a common theme in various media, the author brings a unique twist. The setting is medieval, with kingdoms, fiefs, and a hierarchy dominated by mages or magicians wielding significant power.
The addition of modern elements, like快餐 culture and limited access to smartphones for the elite, gives the world a contemporary feel. Teleportation, for instance, adds a futuristic touch amidst the otherwise traditional backdrop.
The protagonist's character is intriguingly dense when it comes to comprehension but surprisingly knowledgeable in matters of romance. It's unclear what goes on inside his mind, but his rapid progress suggests he might be capable of surprising feats.
I wouldn't be surprised if he could achieve remarkable accomplishments given his current trajectory. Once this story concludes, I expect a significant shift in the narrative dynamics.
