So everyone understands, he meant that No one would know the identity of the 7th Prince’s biological son, not his own son.

Does it work?

Have you ever wanted a friend that would unintentionally throw you onto the highway? No? Well, meet Linfel, our adorably ignorant MC. Let me preface this review by saying that not even 40 chapters have been released yet. As such, my rating and everything I am about to write may be subjected to change. With that said, let’s talk about this novel. Compared to the huge pile of absolute mediocrity that has plagued WebNovel, ”What is a Wisp?” stands out to me as a future top-ranking novel. Although there is the occasional misspelling or wrong word, this novel has an overall superb writing quality and amazing humor. As not even 40 chapters have been released yet there is not much to say about the update stability, but so far it is consistent. The story developement and world background is very shallow as of the latest chapter, but not in a bad way. Everything is introduced as the main character (who is completely oblivious to everything) himself learns about it. If anything, I prefer it this way. I have no doubts in my mind that this novel will deliver an intriguing and hilarious story. Last but not least we have the characters. So far there are three categories for characters: humans, familiars and Linfel. Humans are basically the same as average humans om earth, nothing major but interesting nonetheless. Familiars are the older siblings that take care of, love and embarrass their younger siblings (the humans). Linfel is a force of nature; leave him unattended for more than 10 minutes and you are sure to find yourself in a world of trouble. This combined with the transendent interactions between the characters will send you reeling from laughter. TL;DR: Very good book. Very promising. Very funny. Read it NOW!

Not sure if I’m reading it correctly or not, but it just got updated 10 minutes ago…

Ethan’s *mouth* (or eye, but it sounds weird for the corner of someone’s eye to twitch)

It’s a zero

Did Arnark just create a scenario where CC could use Lore?

Honestly it’s your choice. I, for one, would not complain if you kept going…

I love that quote!

Maybe a bit, but no avid reader on WN is ”normal” so to speak. Publicity will probably be one of the biggest hurdles…

He is the only one with a system, and therefore the only one with a ranking on talent and progress. Sure, a qualitative change can be noticed, but how is talent measured and ranked?

”Why *does* my body look younger.”

For everyone that feels offended in any way: The "Fatty" character is usually the protagonist's first, and sometimes best, friend. The issue is that they are always suffering for being the main character's friend, even thought they never reach the mc's strength nor offend the aggressor. Even in the case of transmigrating into a fatty, the mc is given a cheat that either converts fat into mana, or something like that, or burns their fat because of how much they move. Even then it is an inconvenience since the mc will have lower stamina and be slower. It is not about being fat, it's about the characters' role in the story that makes being a fatty less favorable. Then again the author might have said that as satire or something, I'm not sure.

Just wondering, but is this a reference to ”things fall apart”?

Just a nitpick, but May 19th 2122 seems to be a tuesday…

”How heavy are the dumbbbells you lift?”

Just remembered that one tag of this novel is ”harem” lol

Might want to add this here. When I said misspelling, I meant it as in typos and not because of poor English.

I would say the main character starts out as a ”reactive character” rather than an ”active” one, which means it is basically impossible for him to force the plot. Although the beginning might seem forced, it is a relatively normal reaction for children to want revenge in that kind of situation. Try thinking like this: your childhood friend was basically killed just because someone wanted to mess with your dad indirectly, because doing it directly would be impossible.

As a warning before you read this review: this is the first time I am writing and posting a review on any webnovel, so my rating will be based off of what I feel is a good score compared to other novels on this site. Let us start with ”writing quality”. There is not much to say about the quality of the writing except for the fact that it’s much better than some other novels on this site. Of course there is the occasional misspelling and such, but I still feel like it deserves a 5/5 in this category. Next up is ”update stability”. I have not been following this novel since it was first released, but it should have been about half a year since I caught up. From what I remember, this novel has had a consistent release of 2 chapter at exactly (from my calculations) 5:00 am GMT plus minus a few minutes. Solid 5/5. Third is ”story developement”. If I could rate this without limit, this category would be a 10/5. If you are caught up you know exactly what I mean, especially with the most recent non-premium chapter. The story is smooth like butter and also drags you in easily. Since one of the main character’s traits are ”no plot armor” the story does not seem to be custom made for him. You can clearky see that the flow of the story is made, not to be concenient, but to make sense. So far I have found no plot holes and everything just falls together when explained afterwards. I would want to say that this would be impossible without the identity of the main antagonist, but that in itself also makes sense to why it is that way. All the characters have a reason for what they are doing, and the way they act feels natural in those scenarios. Without a doubt, 5/5. Now we have ”character design”. I would be lying if I said this was perfect, because I feel like it isn’t. The problem is surprisingly not part of the main cast; it’s not even an important character. My problem with the character design is the less important side characters. It’s not even that they are poorly made, it’s just subjective. The main cast and the side characters are all great. Even the random vendor att the side of the street is amazingly made. My problem is how the theme of the novel affects some of the more important characters. Since it is a spoiler I will just mention how it just feels wrong to use the characters as tokens for drama. On another note: although the main character might seem childish in the beginning, he does develope a lot when he starts experiencing the world the internal conflict also makes it so much better. In all honesty I want to give this category a 4.5/5, but since that is not possible I have rounded it up to a 5/5. ”World background”, or how I interpreted it, ”world building” is a no brainer for this novel. Because of the theme and the main character’s background, this category is a make or break for me (and probably a lot of other people). We first get to know how the system of this novel works, and then get to experience it first hand. It’s unique, but also familiar. It’s weird, but also simple. Seeing is believing, and I am now a believer. Strong 5/5. Overall: a great novel. Easy to read and follow, consistent releases and a constant suspence between the main character and the Heavens. Highly recommended to read at least 50 chapters before deciding if you like it or not. Thank you author for this amazing piece of art!
