I'm just gonna slap my novel review here to explain why you shouldn't bother reading this story and lose any more time: Inconsistencies, the novel. Even closing your brain doesn't work. It's unenjoyable, let me explain:
The tone change comes suddenly, before the reincarnation, the stakes are high, the tone is serious with the obvious tragedy, but after that, it becomes super wonky with the comedy. Still, I love a good MC-harming novel, so I tried not to think much and enjoy a potentially average novel. I regretted that decision. The logic and the lazy reasoning in this story are so blurry that it all felt meaningless:
Sometimes Karas, the ML, is like a child, and then we see his adult mind take action and do some strategic moves in the background. He is described as a high-IQ individual, but in seconds, he is a child who doesn't understand logic. He doesn't even understand what hurts MC. Then there is his "ruthless" killing machine side... He randomly killing innocent people left a bad taste in my mouth so much that I dropped this right after that. FYI: [spoiler]The situation in the boat arc didn't make the slightest sense. He wasn't killing soldiers, war criminals, or some thief. He was killing random civilians who had perfectly normal lives. And at that moment, Abel, who shivers with his slightest expression change, didn't give 2 shits for more than 2 seconds. Mind you, he is the one who finds precious even the smallest bug. For now, Abel doesn't even know this murderer is the prince he so dearly loves. He is just a random man to the MC at this point in the story. What does he do after that slaughter, you ask? He makes out with ML. [/spoiler] Other out of common sense moments: (Excuse me, I shouldn't use the word "moments", every chapter is full of them.) [spoiler]
-The author gives the information about King's poison and specifically points out that the black substance is the ONLY poison that works on a dragon's body. But later in the novel, ML gets drunk on snake wine???
-MC who can't even walk for 1 hour suddenly climbs mountains for 2 days??? Even with the potion he took, it sounds ridiculous. The potion is just some medication, by the way. It's not magical.
-The MC not knowing about military ranks while he was giving the regas education.
-The MC not recognizing ML even though he had seen him with gray eyes in his dream before. He even saw his reincarnated body with the ML, but he can't just add 1 +1 in his mind.
-The poor nameless butler, not questioning the sudden reincarnation of his precious little master.
-And many more... (I'm tired.) And why the hell does every comrade of ML offer their butt to him??
[/spoiler]
When a novel corrupts its own rules and common sense, the reading experience drops aggressively, and the plot turns into child's play. There was absolutely no, I repeat, NO seriousness left. I keep finding myself losing interest in the characters because their behavior keeps changing between seconds. The constant misunderstandings were too much... Let them communicate in a normal way and give the audience some break.
Even the most critical moment is ruined by "comedy".
I can't believe this amateur story got so much attention. I felt cheated. Dropped after volume 3.
