Yo~ This is my first time contributing, so please be gentle with your comments about the NU story. I'd like to share my thoughts on the MC's personality and relationships.
People might dislike the MC because they perceive him as dense, but let me clarify: the MC isn't that! After reading numerous web novels and anime, I'm tired of overly dense characters. What I appreciate about the MC is his genuine nature. He doesn't hate everything just because he doesn't care about minor things; his primary goal is to go home. He doesn't hold grudges, which sets him apart from some typical tropes.
While the traitor Hiyama might have been insignificant, the MC does show ruthless side when necessary, like killing anyone who stands in his way, even classmates. Yue plays a significant role in restoring the MC's humanity by influencing his actions, and other characters, like the harem members, ask for his help, leading to their affection.
The harem dynamics are unique, with each girl having a distinct backstory. Yue, for example, was trapped for 300 years and saved by the MC, making it hard not to develop feelings. Shia, as a rare individual among her kind, finds solace in the MC and Yue due to their shared ability. Tio's situation is more complicated, but she connects with them. Myuu sees the MC as a father figure, Kaori's love grows from her concern for the MC, Remia as a widow finds comfort in MC's protection, and Liliana's feelings might be overlooked given their history. Shizuku is considered a powerful character, while Aiko's bond with the MC is based on a life-saving moment.
Some might argue that the MC's sexual encounters are explicit, but I appreciate his敢于 express himself without just physical gestures. In the main story, he has intimate relations only with Yue, while the rest of the harem engages in activities together post-story.
Overall, the MC's character has layers that set him apart from the usual dense or one-dimensional characters, and I enjoy the complexity of his relationships.
The novel is generally strong, but the writing quality is subpar, warranting a deduction of one star. The main character's morality isn't well-developed, as he seems to lack a consistent conscience. He's portrayed as both a cold-blooded survivor and someone who cares for others, without internal consistency. The absence of children and related dilemmas is notable, and the MC often engages in unnecessary combat, contradicting his initial stealth philosophy.
Many plot elements feel borrowed, such as inspirations from "Alien," "Predator," and "Deep Blue Sea." While borrowing isn't inherently bad, the reliance on recycled ideas raises questions about originality. The excessive action resembles "John Wick" films, resulting in a shallow plot progression. A shift in pace or MC's activities, like turning followers or infiltrating powerful organizations, would improve the story.
A more strategic, cult-like development, similar to "Warhammer," would have been more engaging than the current direction. Instead, the reviewer suggests checking out "White Spider" for a better plot and "Dragon Hatchling" for improved writing. They are hesitant to recommend the book but will continue reading up to chapters 250-300 to see if the experience improves.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I've generally been someone who observes without commenting (apologies to the translator; I appreciate your work, by the way, please continue doing great work!). I don't like disagreements, but after reading a review, I felt compelled to address a few points. It's important to note that the story isn't about putting the main character (MC) in high-risk situations; it's not an action-packed adventure. In fact, if anything, some might argue that the MC's journey after regression focuses more on mental growth and internal struggles, not external physical challenges.
Regarding the genre blend of Western fantasy, Omegaverse, and palace/political drama, previous reviews and the translator have highlighted that this is primarily a romance novel, with other plot elements taking a backseat. If you were hoping for a grand scope similar to "Turning," this might not be the right fit for you, considering the difference in content and the gradual development of the romance in the series. "Sidekick Prince" is significantly shorter than "Turning," so don't expect extensive world-building or plot complexity.
The world-building in "Sidekick Prince" borrows elements from East-Western fusion, which is common in K-dramas and J-literature. While it doesn't adhere strictly to historical accuracy, that's part of the fantasy genre's appeal. It's been established early on that the imperial family has limits on spouse numbers, with the Emperor having one Empress and one Imperial Consort. Comparisons to real-life historical figures like the Hongzhi Emperor don't justify complaints about the number of wives in the story.
There are supporting magical creatures like shamans, elves, and dwarves, but they aren't the central focus. The MC is a human with fairy blood, and the ML is a knight, so it's reasonable to assume less emphasis on magic or elf-related details. These creatures do have significant moments in the background, though.
Fairy blood plays a crucial role in the plot, explaining the MC's regression and the beginning of his troubles. So, it's essential not to overlook such integral aspects when reading the story.
Regarding the beta characters, they are often stigmatized due to their perceived lack of development compared to alphas and omegas. However, the story handles this theme well, showing that abuse mainly comes from specific individuals rather than the beta status itself. The beta characters are portrayed with depth, even if they don't undergo extensive character growth.
In the Omegaverse context, the rules have been clearly laid out: male betas can only reproduce with female betas or dominant omegas. It's crucial to understand the unique biology of this universe within the story, rather than importing preconceived notions from other omegaverse narratives.
Finally, the work is centered around romance, but it does give depth to secondary characters with their own personalities, backgrounds, and emotional arcs, especially within the imperial family.
In summary, while the story might not cater to everyone's preferences, it offers a well-crafted world with a focus on romance, while acknowledging and exploring the complexities of beta characters and the Omegaverse dynamics.
The character referred to as MC or the tramigrated villain appears to be excessively effeminate, to the point where if you were to alter his appearance by removing any masculine traits, he would be more in line with the femininity displayed by a majority of women worldwide.
I just wanted to write this comment for new readers honestly. You might come across of a lot of negative comments but the novel is seriously worth reading. When some say that the mc only concentrate himself on singing is not true since he actually develops dancing, acting, rapping, presence on stage, etc later. Most readers that have an attention laps of a bean don't take the time to read further the story as they assume it'ld go and for everyone's information: The author is new so they wanted to make each arc well explained and that's efficient since you can come across a certain detail in the early chapters and find their utility in the later chapters!
To summarize it, don't read comments that can affect your opinion because you're the only one to decide if the story pleases you or not! :)
