Despite initially enjoying the novel, I couldn't continue due to a shift in the main character's behavior. The male lead began acting in a despicable manner, which wasn't something I could stomach, especially since the protagonist's hopes were repeatedly dashed. If you're into toxic relationship dynamics, perhaps this book is your cup of tea; there's a scene where the ML confines the MC, for instance. [Expand/Collapse as needed]
The book offers lighthearted amusement with a complex protagonist who, in a good-natured way, serves as a source of playful teasing. The endearing characters and brisk pacing create a sense of rooting for the main character, whose foolish antics often lead to entertaining situations. I thoroughly enjoyed the reading experience.
hmm hear maybe because there is
He's not dense, he's aware the girls are crushing on him but he thinks it's more of a hero worship type thing since he's saved all of their lives at on point or the other.
Wow it has a harem and a system, what else could you wish for
I read it many years ago... at the time it seemed very good... sometimes it makes me want to read it again but it's so long that they go away... Although I admit that I read Coiling Dragon (let's call it a prequel) for the 2nd time in a couple of weeks lol
No hate for the creator of this novel or the novel itself, but I wish this didn't exist. Many authors copy this work of literature to the grave. I can't help but feel if it didn't exist, it would force people to be more creative.
This novel is as influential to Korean novels and Manwha as Dragonball was to Shonen. Definitively, it's a classic from the Korean specter of entertainment.
10/10
In another universe where everyone is dumb as fuck except for the mc
The protagonist in this story is a classic example of a stereotypical, overpowered Japanese character who prefers anonymity. The main appeal for readers is the focus on the main character's culinary choices in a slice-of-life web novel. However, the narrative suffers from a lack of depth and substance.
The story is marked by a repetitive pattern where the MC moves to new cities, encounters minor events, and moves on, without any meaningful conflict or character growth. The MC's level is absurdly high due to an accidental genocide of dragon elders, making him far stronger than any legendary hero. Despite this, the story fails to explore interesting abilities or challenges, and the leveling system is mundane, with little excitement.
The MC's power is so overwhelming that even demons, capable of destroying kingdoms, pale in comparison. Additionally, the constant portrayal of women, often underage, pursuing the MC romantically solely because he treated slaves kindly becomes a tiresome cliché.
As a "fake merchant" seeking a simple life, the character lacks depth and development. The author could have focused on merchant skills, personal challenges, or cooking, but instead, the MC's abilities are too numerous and trivial, bordering on Deus Ex Machina. He faces few obstacles beyond his own disinterest, and his wealth and power rival those of nations.
The main character's lack of personality, motivation, or genuine emotions make him unlikable. His supposed anti-slavery stance is hypocritical, as he doesn't take action to free his harem. The plot is non-existent, and the MC pretends to be a weak merchant to avoid recognition, while others fawn over him.
In summary, this story fails to engage readers with compelling characters, meaningful challenges, or a coherent plot. The protagonist is a one-dimensional Gary Sue, and the writing is poor. If you're looking for a more engaging and well-developed narrative, this isn't the web novel for you.
"It's an engaging read, but one that requires overcoming an initial hurdle in grasping the world's concept. The narrative invites you to reevaluate your views on love, with a touch of the familiar sentiment 'love conquers all.' The protagonist defies the rules and leaves an indelible mark on the story. A spoiler: our hero confronts and defeats a deity. Some lower ratings stem from the unconventional world setting and the characters' struggles. Happily, the story concludes on a joyful note."
Looking at the cover, it seems our baby girl will eventually get her desired tits. ?
Anyone inform me about how the novel got the Adultery tag cause I literally can't take cheating plots anymore?
