I was going to wait until the end of this fanfic or at least by the end of chapter 500 to write a review, but I've been bottling up something that I think I should let it out here instead of the comment section. My overall rating may looked bad, but trust me, I don't hate this fanfic nor Akikan. I just hope that I don't offend a lot of people because of this. Also, I don't follow Akikan's siscon fanfic, so I'm basing/comparing this fanfic from his first one.
Akikan's writing definitely improved from his first work. But there's this combination of words that he always uses in almost all of his paragraph, and that is "He had to admit." I get that being a non-native English speaker, it is difficult to choose different phrases to express something similar in meaning, but reading it over and over is irritating.
Akikan did say that this fanfiction is very slow on its story development. People had speak out about this in the past. So, instead of saying the same thing, I'm going to let my star rating speaks for itself.
Now, character design. After chapter 200, I'm beginning to hate this main character. The fact that he said to himself that he won't indulge in romance or anything similar before he finishes writing his obviously plagiarized title from the real world, but still did it anyway, irks me to no end. I won't care as much when a character becomes somewhat of a hypocrite in a story with a not snail-like speed on its story development. But bruh, the timeline in this story hasn't even reach six months, yet he catches women left and right like his story is about to end. Unless you're aiming for women with a garden opened for any male that's passing by, women can wait for a month or two. Heck, he even write the plagiarized story as his novel within a night. Surely letting your little brother stay in your pants for just a week isn't that hard.
The update stability for this fanfiction is on point. There's nothing other than praises for this one. I say Akikan did a good job.
Even after 200+ chapters, the world hasn't been expanded except for a couple of places. You would think that getting huge amounts of shares of different companies for free is going to help building the world, making it more interesting. But nope, those companies are just names for now. I guess Akikan would rather slap more characters from other fiction than Sakurasou and hope that it builds the world he's using instead of introducing places with unique situations.
After writing about 2000+ words on this review, I guess the person who reads this got the message that, although I don't hate this fanfic, I don't like it either. I don't have any expectations for this novel, and I'm not confident that he would read this. The main character will most likely add more women to his ever expanding harem, and whines about how his heart couldn't at least love one of them. Personally, I will continue to read this fanfic, but I won't give a stone/day for this. Maybe a couple/week is enough to help this stay on the 'leaderboard' of webnovel... not like my stone is going to change anything.
