Review Detail of Daoist_Dan in Marvel: I'm not Spider-Man, I'm Xenomorph-Infested!
Review detail
Heavy spoilers. I'm not a fan of it having dual main characters. The synopsis made it seem like there would be one. The story does not handle the two main characters well. Gwen gets the plot. But Peter is always doing small stuff like visiting places until he is made aware of Gwen's plotlines and is pulled into them to help her. It doesn't feel like an equal dual MC story when the plot is never centering around him. I also didn't like that he didn't get the spider bite despite "Linan must ensure he's bitten by the mutated spider before the embryo fully develops." just so she could get her powers. The synopsis told me what to expect going into this story and it didn't give it. It did a last-minute switcharoo so he could get nerfed spider powers from some rando spider-themed mutant villain that was bottom tear. It and the xenomorph stuff adds up to someone clearly not as strong as someone with a spider bite in his battles. Requiring spider-girl to back him up in encounters so he can make it through. A Xenomorph-Spider hybrid is supposed to be so much cooler, you know? My final complaint would be the mc lacks drive and initiative. He did one thing. Find a doctor. Outside of that he waits for the school trip where he doesn't get the spider and is pulled into Gwen's stuff. He doesn't do much on his own initiative. He doesn't feel like a real person. More... the bland plot device. (5 star, 5 star, 1 star, 1 star, 3 star. Translation is great. I have no complaints for Firesight besides maybe asking that he makes a better synopsis.)

I understand what you mean, and your review of the book is good, but I'm saying that others might view it differently, like me.
Daoist_Dan:Maybe things change in the other half. To be fair to myself there is a full movie's worth of content in what I read and reviewed. I didn't review at the very start of the story. But I did review without getting caught up.image
It wasn't exactly as he had explained, but I can see why he said that. Different people have different perspectives on things. At the start of the story, I accepted that it somewhat focused on Gwen, but she wasn't the main character. Someone who has read up to the latest chapters can explain it better, and the reason for the focus was that the author is in the process of very good world-building. I can confirm that. Alas, it was your choice to read or not. I just wanted to share my view, as I liked the book. Peace out.
