Review Detail of Relhak in My Servant Is An Elf Knight From Another World
Review detail
If you came here for a JP-like fluffy, comedy, slice-of-life novel about a random dude living with a hot elf, then look no further, cause that's exactly what you'll get....... for a couple of chapters - and then it'll go all in on grim-dark despair. Overall, Elf-story (shortform for this novel's long ass title), is really well written. It has good humor, narration, exposition, pacing, witty dialogue, and multi-dimensional characters with fleshed out backgrounds. So, all's well that ends well? Unfortunately, and this is my personal opinion, the story just got too dark too quickly - and theres too much of it without any sunshine (read:fluff/romance/light heartedness/happy moments/etc). This, combined with a beta, spineless, and indecisive MC (who we never get to know the name of), simply began to annoy me more and more. I came here for a fluffy elf-chan comedy story, then I was pleasantly surprised with deeper and darker plot, but then it became tedious reading about a never evolving relationship, pitifully spineless MC, and constant dark-upon-dark developments, where the story is going from one crisis to another. I hope that in the future plot can include some more romance, where Ash (elf-chan) and MC kiss, make up, do gf+bf stuff - and no, don't tear them apart with some stupid deus-ex machina plot machinations the next chapter to prove their love or some other random bullshit reasoning. Keep them together, and have them develop together for the fluff in the dark. In short, fluff is good, but lately too much dark and crisis combined with a constantly spineless MC is becoming tedious to read.

Mmmmmmmmyeah, I'll work to do better. Won't lie I do believe I did dive deep into the dark aspects of the book a little too fast even for my taste. So after the whole first volume, I tried to rein it back a bit... keep to the more slice-of-life parts... though I'm quite far from making everything peachy keen and bright - I'm still slowly making my way towards the rainbow. Romance is why I started this, but I'm more of a slow-burner, so it won't develop as fast as some would hope. But rest assured, once I do get that love kindling, it's gonna a flame that burns big and bright. In regards to the MC... he's just someone that'll just have to grow, and he will, I'll make sure of that. Anyway, thanks for the review my man, hoped you still enjoyed what you read, and hope you stick around for what I have in store for the future!
