Honestly, the concept was enjoyable at first, but it becomes increasingly dull as the sword keeps getting more overpowered on its own. The reliance on the wielder also gradually fades away, causing the novel to lose its unique appeal.
I've just begun reading Chapter 99, the early stages of Arc 4, and I'm utterly frustrated. Up until now, the story was engaging, but it has taken a sudden, unsettling turn. The author seems to be resorting to cheap tactics to sow confusion between the main characters, creating unnecessary complications solely to prolong the arc. This manipulation is pushing my buttons so much that I couldn't help but pause mid-chapter to express my dissatisfaction. Frankly, I've been eagerly looking for a novel like "The Face of the Devil," but this goes beyond what I can tolerate.
To be honest, it's not bad. Initially, I didn't expect to like the main character as much as I did. The protagonist's archetype reminded me of another review, so I was prepared to dismiss it if it followed a similar pattern. However, the author managed to avoid making the "I Just Want To Be A Bland Protagonist" stereotype overly relatable or annoying, which was a relief.
The description of the main character being a bit dim was accurate; he relied mostly on skimming the original novel and focusing on the steamy parts. This cluelessness occasionally annoyed me, but looking back, it added a realism that I appreciated. He doesn't possess any extraordinary abilities, systems, or notes – he's just a regular guy. Plus, his emotional reaction to conflict, like crying instead of using his supposed 'Gary Stu' skills, felt genuine and refreshing.
The story itself isn't groundbreaking, but I genuinely enjoyed the MC's character. I appreciate a charming, yet self-aware protagonist who cares about others and recognizes his flaws, striving to improve. The male lead is also supportive, which makes it hard to dislike the MC. It's not perfect, but it's a decent read to pass the time.
The translation isn't terrible, but there's room for improvement. I'll come back once more chapters are available. Overall, it's a pretty good choice for casual reading.
ok,review (as of chapter 259,which is like chapters away from the ending)
world building - very nice,there are some of the le fantasy story races such as elfs and orcs but really the world of this novel is really unique
characters - PERFECT,all of the characters feel like they have their own personality and sh*t,and doesnt feel like they exist only for the mc or some sh*t
romance - slow,but it is pretty good
action - i guess its good enough? most battles ends rather quickly
overall,a great story really,the only complaint i have is more of a feeling realy,because like when reading other novels such as idk ri or lotm,in battles i had a anguish feeling,but in this novel i didnt really feel anything in such cases,which im not realy sure about it? the only situation that got me feeling like that is in the final battle
so i guess the author just failed to convey that feeling? or this novel in particular didnt trigger it,which idk if its bad or if its whatever
It is a fun novel but update is so slow. May get boring but crafting and stats related parts in all novels I usually skim through after certain point it is not possible to remember all skills and stats.
The Damned Demon
What's wrong, it's 5 month past and there's no update?? What's happening with the translator??
Omg does someone know if this is dropped or an other website where they continued. Because this is taking forever
me who forgot this novel existed and stacked 5000+ chapters unknowingly:
??
Thank you.
Funny only if you enjoy the mean spirited kind. Oh you're a master who spend decades in your craft? Well let me some one who got all this knowledge without doing any real work come and ruin your entire life you work so hard for coz haha funny.
The MC it a worthless piece of trash with no redeeming quality who got a free ride on life with the system. And he constantly use it to accidently f*ck people over, most of people just minding their own business.
I absolutely adore it with just one word! The dynamic between the leads and the underlying empathy among colleagues is truly captivating. I can't wait for more!
