Review Detail of Astralek in The Meme Train
Review detail
This isn't a 'meme novel' or a satirical one. After chapter 10 the Author starts doing plot maintenance by having the protagonist purposefully go around to make sure the original Danmachi cast stays together(why? because it's not a satire novel). Frank screams at his system and eveyone else constantly because he's edgy and insane up until he fixes himself(except not really). The 'jokes' are just a dollar store Filthy Frank yelling at everything and everyone, saying the protagonist almost vomits after saying something cringe on purpose for the 2918727th time, and using violence on gods he doesn't like. It isn't funny or satirical at all. The Author essentially wrapped a really cringey fanfiction that bootlicks the original cast in a cloak of deception so that they can pawn off their bad writing as 'le memes'. The only meme here is that the book is just a terrible isekai system fanfiction. If you can read up to Chapter 42 and find a single good joke or 'meme', please point it out for me. 2/5 Stars, boring! A complete waste of your time. I'd rather play Rust than this, and I hate Rust.

Alright, to be serious now, you aren't wrong about it being inherently non-satirical, predominantly due to the fact that it started out as something that I did mainly because I wanted to. But now it's slightly less satirical and relatively a regular cancer and crack fic, because I realized that it would have changed eventually. Though to be fair you rated it from the earlier chapters, which was still in the first world, and it was quite literally a work that I had no real plans for aside from writing what I pleased. So fair fair on the unpleasant views for the first hundred chappies, but does it get better? That's subjective, you'd only really know once you see it yourself.
AntiLoliLewding:Comment here if you want ice cream. There is no ice cream. This is just a comment. I have lied to you.
"Trust me bro, read until chapter 150+? it gets good bro." - One Piece fans and you. On a serious note; I want to be clear I never insult the Author in a review but always review a book harshly(Unless the Author's a p*dophile or inserts fetishes in his books). I didn't try to attack you or your character. Also, I just don't find the jokes and book enjoyable. If I read up until 200+ it'd probably not change much even if the writing improves. I enjoy most forms of humor including dark humor(actually funny jokes not haha beating women and racism funny) and understood most of the references. They just didn't mesh well nor get pulled off properly. I always try to read up to Chapter 50 if I am not enjoying it before review. This one was 8 chapters shorter than usual. I apologise profusely(lmao). I'm glad you understand the direction you wish to take your novel as well as being able to read harsh critique. I'll try reading further in the book just for that to give you better critique.
