Neutral MC on Webnovel from experience is an MC who is a hero disguising to be indifferent…….. About jade beauties……. you know what, forget it because this is Webnovel.
What’s the point in leveling up if his attributes doesn’t increase? If you don’t want him to become stronger too quickly, then reduce the pace of the level up rather than increasing no attribute and given him 5-10 free attribute points for every X10 levels gained which is incredibly stupid.
You say you don’t know where the misunderstanding is coming from, yet for 50+ chapters, the focus has been on a power that you’ve given very little information about. A power you’ve described as impossible to break free from—a power that makes the target fall for the caster, become attached to them, and do anything to protect them. This power led to Reign sleeping with both targets simultaneously (which is super weird and, again, points to the severe lack of information about it). It has also made him fall in love with two people at the same time—he literally said the words himself. The female leads are barely fleshed out, and there’s not enough information about any of them (including Anna), yet so much has happened. You could excuse it as foreshadowing, but it feels more like a lack of critical information. For example, how did Anna feel the power? How did she know? How did she hear Celine’s voice? That’s just on Anna’s part, and it’s even worse with Celine and Cyril. There are so many unexplained elements surrounding them and their powers, yet these events are key to the story. Without enough information or proper character development for the female leads, all these events feel forced.
When I mentioned ‘very little information was provided,’ I was specifically referring to Cyril and Celine’s power. All we know is that Lilith has figured it out, and that it’s a mental/soul power that influences people—yet look at the gravity and volume of events caused by this power. I understand Reign needed character development, but the way it was handled felt like the easy way out, which is disappointing. Everything seemed forced—from Reign’s minimal interaction with Cyril, to him diving headfirst into danger for someone he barely knew, to the barely explained power that suddenly became pivotal. Then there’s the ‘coincidental’ meeting with Celine, who has the same power, right after Reign tried to escape from it. Despite knowing what it did to him, Reign didn’t run away again, and Celine, who was initially scared of him, suddenly developed feelings. The power that was never fully explained kept intensifying, and now Reign is attached to both girls after only being intimate with one. Lastly, I really dislike the trope where the MC has to take ‘responsibility’ and marry every girl he sleeps with. While you tried to make it less obvious than other traditional webnovels, it’s essentially the same thing. I also recall you stating that Reign wouldn’t get attached or fall in love with a girl, yet here we are. Good luck with your novel, but it’s no longer for me.
Thank you, author, for a great novel, but this is where I bow out. The story has been excellent up until now, but the Reign/Cyril/Celine arc has unfortunately ruined it for me. There are many ways to evolve a character and develop their personality, and plenty of ways to connect women to the MC—but this approach just didn’t work. So far, very little information has been provided, yet the events are becoming more and more far-fetched. I saw this scene coming and was hoping it wouldn’t happen. Female leads, or how they are handled, often tend to ruin novels, and regardless of the reasoning behind it, these particular events have felt 100% forced and cringeworthy. Thank you for the great journey so far, and I wish you the best of luck with the rest of the novel.
If you analyze the material so far, I’d conclude that the situation leans more towards lust than love—if any real feelings exist at all. They barely interacted before Reign rushed headfirst to save her, disregarding all consequences. If it were simply lust, there’s no way he would behave that way. Honestly, I don’t dislike the overall progress. My issue is with that particular scene(and the current one in the latest chapter as at this comment), as there was insufficient buildup for such an extreme reaction (both from the power influencing him and their limited interaction). It would have made more sense if Reign had spent a significant amount of time with her to build up to that moment. Also, if the author wanted the power to be that overwhelming, it would have been better to give the readers a heads-up by introducing it earlier, much like how Satoshi, the East, and the Dragon Palace were introduced. So far, we know very little about the power (except that Lilith has figured it out and it’s a mental ability of certain meta-humans), yet it has caused so many dramatic events. This lack of information might lead readers to feel disconnected or confused
But he didn’t genuinely fall for her—something is forcing him to. Even for a psychopath, there are clear indicators that something is off. For example, risking your life and diving in headfirst to save someone you’ve barely interacted with or met? That’s clearly not love.
Author, if this continues without any attempt at a solution, I’ll unfortunately have to drop the novel. I understand that Reign needs a weakness, but this isn’t working. You’ve been going in circles, focusing on future events (Satoshi and Aika), yet you’ve refused to address the main issue or even provide a hint of a solution. All we keep hearing is ‘Meta-human this, Meta-human that’ and how overpowered they are, without delving into the specific powers that are central to the story.
Is it that the system is unable to analyze, or is it deliberately withholding information from him? Satoshi’s suggests otherwise.
Satoshi!!!
