everything was going relatively well but, out of nowhere, the big brain mc decides to mindcontrol one of his enemies (a maid working as a spy who poisoned the previous body owner) into r@ping a young master who lusted after her as revenge.. i don't know man, if that's what gets you going then enjoy, as for me? i'm leaving before more red flags are raised.
Listen, i really wanted to like it because i have nothing else to read but i just can't endure how emo the mc is, i mean yeah he had a tough life before reincarnating but come on, the moment the mc is angry or insecure he will let everyone in his proximity know about it and explain the reasons without missing a detail. Also the system (?) or whatever that was, not a fan.
the problem with this novel is that it has no main character, well, at least that's what it feels like when you're 100+ chapters deep, you can't get attached to anything because there are timeskips every 2 or 3 chapters, in fact the novel itself is: 40% timeskips, 10% light faceslapping, 40% people's reactions to games/movies/products, 10% mc stuff.
From the start i'm clarifying that i'm a child-mc hater, so there you go. Getting that out the way, what can i say about the novel? it's kinda unbearable, there's a lot of talking and little being said, i'm still trying to figure out why was the starting naruto arc a thing, it could've been pretty much any other shounen verse and it would still be the same, also, the ability-sealing cliche after throwing him into another world was really funny, i'm still laughing, great development! But hey at least the waifu selection was good, oh and no offense but Yuki has to be the least threatening/awe-inspiring name an Uchiha can get, guess it was intended because of the child mc thingy but eh.
Yeah that's enough stupidity for me, i kept telling myself it would get better, to ignore the mc's incel-like behaviour, to not think about what will the novel become once the vrmmo tag goes out the window, but as chapters pass the mc keeps getting progressively dumber, and as of chapter 256 i simply cannot believe what i'm reading, the fact that this "plot" just happened blows my mind, if this dude is so clueless with his past life memories then i cannot imagine how idiotic he used to be, no wonder he was enslaved! looks like he's only smart when it comes to trashtalking girls.
Gave it a try because of the chapter-to-rating ratio, everything appeared to be fine until the red flags started popping out.. young masters? check, mistreated female characters? check, mafia/organizations? check, r*pe threat scene? check, i wouldn't be surprised if there were some irl assassination/kidnap attempts as well! disappointing, imagine focusing on the vrmmo aspect, you know, the reason why people clicked on the novel, instead of showcasing some generic young master type of characters behaving like subhumans just because you wanted to build some fake sense of urgency.
Well it was good while it lasted, but the drama and the constant bitching ended up grinding my patience into dust, also it's time to start considering DxD a curse, everytime it's introduced in a fanfic the quality takes a nosedive.. The first 40 chapters are great, i didn't even miss a comma, but by chapter 80 i was so annoyed i started skimming through.
The novel is harem but it is impossible to look forward to the mc getting girls because 1. all of them insta fall for him, 2. the scenes are skipped and 3. the interactions feel empty. The harem part is supposed to be the meat and potatoes of the novel but how am i supposed to enjoy it when literally everything gets rushed/skipped?
Don't get baited by the family system thing, his family aren't even relevant enough to be considered background characters, they're just numbers for the mc, by chapter 2 he has already married 2 girls, proper introductions? character developlent? any fun interactions? how about no, just take this timeskip and don't ask any questions! okay, chapter 3 begins, we get some merchants interacting with the wives, here comes the character devel- Just kidding, have another timeskip! sure.. chapter 4 behins, oh look their wives got pregnant and even gave birth in the same chapter, they're healthy bab- *timeskip* Dude what even is th- *timeskip*
Thought it would be a fun read just because of the tag combination but all i got was a Bleach dramafest with some lighthearted moments sprinkled on top, can't say a thing about the system because up until ch 29 it did literally nothing except for that questionable race change, extra point because of the interactions, those were really enjoyable.
Very fun read, the mc is pretty nice too and the setting is chill and enjoyable (dunno if this wish-trading concept/setting is original or not but i haven't seen it before, wouldn't be surprised if more writers adapted it for their own fanfics) So far as of chapter 45 i can say it is one of those rare novels where its high rating reflects its quality, keep it up!
Insanely annoying and bitchy mc, dude keeps having inner monologues saying he will do this and that but all we get is him being faceslapped again and again because he's weak as an ant, also the ntr part.. no comments.
