I'm just gonna slap my novel review here...
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 doesn't understand basic 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???
-The MC not knowing about military ranks while he was given 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 soul change 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.
Calm down shirtless man who sits on a ridiculously long self made throne... It's called unrequited love and there is nothing you can do about it.
"...Calm down shirtless man..." ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Now he will REALLY suffer. Can't wait for that sweet love angst. :D
Pull yo' big boy pants up first, you strange black man. We are nearly going to see your reproductive organ.( -_-)
I love his little freak face. We need more MLs with expressions like that.
Guys, the book is much more detailed and brilliantly written, this adaptation SUCCS SOME SERIOUS ASS, so, do yourself a favor and go read the book. SERIOUSLY it was so good that I was punching air. The adaptation tho... Rotten dirt to my eyes.
Curses upon thee, who gave this dear book adaptation project to the wrong people and approved the outcome. SHAME SHAME SHAME.
can i ask what site or app do you read novels? thank u!
All from novelupdates.com <3
Turns out we are gonna wait until October 10... Try to stay alive by then.
Naah, it has an unbelievably stupid plot and way too many side couples. The novel was a mess. There are so many fun books to be make adaptations from, why this one gets one???
Hi can you spoil me on what happens I dont really like this but I still wanna know
I'm just going to copy paste some parts from my comment/review right here:
ML is definitely in the spectrum. How else he can think for 13 years that he doesn't love her while feeling the opposite? He focuses on those false facts so much that it comes off as unnatural, even the dullest person would be aware of their feelings after a couple of months. How can you mix friendship with love SO MUCH and tell your beloved that you are in love with HER BEST FRIEND? Doesn't make the slightest sense!!!!
That wasn't even the only problem: There was too much coupling. Normally I don't like even seconds but in this book has like 4-5? Stop! Just stop! You clearly couldn't find something to write and birthed a billion more side couples. UGH.
ML understood his love because of jealousy in chapter 71 with the help of the person he claimed to be a crush on. And if Arista wouldn't warn him he wouldn't have the courage to confess his feelings ever.
After that everything concluded VERY easily, FL didn't even try to make it harder for him. I would at least make him confess 100 times. She could wait 99 days to be engaged again... DAMN IT ALL.
the end.
Aaaah this is so freaking frustrating the heck is this
Exactly... :>
What about Berne?
I can't remember the names, I read nearly 300 of these novels. But I guess Berne was her current boyfriend? If he is, then, used and dumped probably bc he wasn't even mentioned in what I wrote.
Hiya! I'm thinking restarting this story again... How is the story quality going? Is it still fun?
id say it's pretty nice but some chapters are rewritten, and it might get a bit confusing or hard to follow the story. id still recommend it to %100
Thanks for letting me know~ <3
Loved the MC's reactions, but the plot was a bit uneventful, yeah? This could be a lot better if it were shorter and the author didn't put all the focus on misunderstandings. Also, MC should have been the bottom. I wanted to see a 2-meter panicy redhead taking it. Verse would be fine too.
Sorry, I think I accidentally downvoted D:
