Review Detail of GeneralDeFartos_L in Conquering The Novel

I'm impressed. my first impression was bad, but then i fell for the story. - From beginning to the start of the academy, is boring as stated in the cons below. - From the start of the academy and beyond it gets better, and you're only left with the character being dense and foolish (I didn't find fault with it). - From chapter 55 or so it gets better overall and character personality is clear and better, and everything picks up. Pros: - great writing quality, with direct and to the point writing style. - great story progression overall, after the first boring chapters I just binged through it all till chapter 290. - Characters are well written. - I liked the direction of the story and where it's heading. Cons: - First off, the first 10 or so chapters are beyond boring, as in the writing itself is boring. very limited interaction between characters and info is spoon-fed to us, (example, the relationship between mc and his master, i never felt the weight of their bond and thought mc didn't care, but later on it turns out he cares deeply). - Too direct and reveals are sudden with no build up. it happened many times where secrets are just suddenly revealed. [SPOILER EXAMPLE: the first direct reveal that i found underwhelming is when ivika revealed mc's secret just like that as if nothing happened, even if that scene was planned to be direct, I'd rather have a build up, cuz I hated ivika from this moment, but then i started to like her] - Long fights when it's not needed, or long arcs when it's not needed. this became apparent in the tournament arc, from chapter 300 to chapter 380 just for a tournament is crazy. It doesn't add anything to the story to have all that detail with each match detailed and having multiple chapters to cover each round, it felt like a filler. i skimmed through it. - MC should be calculative and cunning, and while i can see that but it's only shown when he's dealing with his harem. I don't see any noteworthy strategies when he dealt with anything outside his harem. he just plans like any normal mc.
