It's a typical isekai setup so far, where the main character has been focusing on acquiring fundamental elemental magic. The pattern goes like this: "Learn spell, practice off-screen, achieve mastery beyond expectations." Up until now, he hasn't showcased his unique abilities or delved into any financial matters.
Approximately one-fifth of the chapters revolve around steamy scenes depicting his parents' unconventional relationship dynamics.
In terms of the plot, I would rate it a 5 out of 10. The characters, on the other hand, were decent with a score of 6 out of 10. Unfortunately, the pacing was a major letdown at only 2 out of 10. The romance between Ei and Dante was delightful, especially their connection in the forest and their interactions with the village, earning a translation score of 8 out of 10.
The issue lies in the slow build-up to the climax, which felt unnecessarily prolonged. It's baffling that Ei didn't disclose her immortality to Dante, despite knowing his secret. The explanation for her silence is initially due to overwhelming happiness but then shifts to concerns about timing, leading to a convoluted plot point. The journey to find Dante after her resurrection becomes a distraction, introducing unnecessary side characters that detract from the main focus. We don't get a comprehensive understanding of Dante's descent into madness; it's merely conveyed through hearsay.
When the reunion finally happens, it lacks the emotional impact one might expect due to the excessive buildup for future arcs. The story drags on, making it exhausting to read, hence my rating of 2 stars instead of 3. The concept of immortal anomalies finding love is intriguing, but the execution leaves much to be desired, feeling like a rough draft that requires significant refinement.
While I've stopped reading, I might consider giving the author another chance based solely on their strong start with the romantic storyline.
The premise of the story is intriguing, and the author presents it effectively, creating an engaging read with a smooth flow. The characters, particularly the main characters (MC) and love interest (ML), exhibit complex shades of darkness - one leaning towards redemption while the other embodies evil. It's important to note that ML is a genuine villain, not a yandere or simply deranged; he's an embodiment of evil, save for his evolving relationship with the MC.
The MC isn't a likable character either, as they lack empathy. However, their background with a caring caretaker adds a layer to their development. The narrative wraps up neatly, with additional content offering enjoyable moments.
However, there are inconsistencies that detract from the experience. For instance, the mental prowess of some supporting characters doesn't align with their supposed experience in the game, or the sudden shift in morality among certain players. Additionally, some sacrifices by minor characters feel abrupt and difficult to empathize with.
These inconsistencies might be overshadowed by the author's strong writing elsewhere, but they still stand out for me. As a personal preference, I don't appreciate when the author has ML controlling key secondary characters, reducing them to puppets. I would prefer seeing these characters develop independently, as often seen in transmigration stories.
Despite these drawbacks, the author has piqued my interest in exploring more of their works on JJWXC. There are indeed captivating summaries that caught my attention, although they haven't been started yet. I recommend giving their stories a chance, keeping in mind the potential issues mentioned.
I'm not really a big fan of MC's that are just too OP... I just want to ask if the MC have failures, defeats, fight stronger enemies... does he have competitors in his level? any limitations to his power?... does any side character bloom too? or does the MC have all the advantages?...I don't mind spoilers... I'm in chapter 600 or so
My friend, go find another place to read the others chapter, it took bit of time to find it but it worth it;D
I'm dropping here. It's bound to ran off. I initially read for the horror but three arcs in and it's generic action in a """horror""" setting.
If it's 90% fighting, it's no longer a horror.
That one with endless vitality?
This is pretty good, ending was a bit f*ck*d, but alright.
I swear this dude long Chen got major anger issues soon as someone points at him he start tweaking "f*ck your mother!" And start beating the chicken sh*t outta people
What is the other novel the author is writing??
My reaction after seeing the summary
*library it is...
A fucken stupid FL. Why does she need to feel sorry and cry for lying about being a beast man? What is she being surprised about mental power when the beast world itself is strange? I can't believe she was this stupid to not notice that. This is fucken confusing me when the author tries to build an image of the FL being smart but at some times became dumb like this.
