the goodness of matt kaizer story
Yu Feng was a street thief with a reputation as 'the thief who has never gotten caught'. Until that one day... Her capture threatened her to work for him. Her task? To carry messages and deliver them to each receiver—she became a runner. The seventh prince, Prince Yi was fighting against time as they are trying to find evidence of the enemy trying to assassinate the Emperor. However, recently most of his messenger never reached their destination and this has caused them a huge loss. This was why he needed someone who knew the Capital City's streets and shortcuts to help him. When Prince Yi found out his runner's identity, he was delighted! But once Yu Feng found out the identity of the man she was working for, she tried to escape. “Yu Feng, you dare to run away from me. This Prince had caught you once. Believe me when I say that I will catch you again.” --- This story is written to participate in WPC 137: Catch Me If You Can --- Cover illustration: kirinlukis ---
I am disappointed in this story. I was expecting a non-human lead instead what I got was a human reincarnated into a parasite that took over a humans brain. There are several parts of the story that confuse me. 1. The romance: Originally Matt was dating two different women Cindy and Alexsi but when Alexsi got pregnant Cindy basically has not been in the story at all. 2. The sentient plant: The plant becomes a cat. I have no idea how or why. 3. Matt: There are two Matt's in the story The human Matt and the Parasite Matt; both are named Matt. It gets confusing as to who is being referred to. The human or the parasite inside him, or is Matt the human that is inside the parasite? 4. Matt's origin story(the possessed one) see what I mean?: All of his information was kept inside a box left on a flashdrive by his parents before they died and apparently the parasite was put inside him as a child. Matt somehow never checked the box and didn't know that he was infected. Also it was encrypted with a password which was the birthday of his first goat which happened AFTER his parents died. How did it get encrypted? 5. Alexsi: She was with Matt when he found out and didn't try to out him/ kill him. Instead she lets him infect her brain with a parasite. (one of his sub-bodies) Basically became his slave without much thought (in my opinion) even when she found out that Matt was manipulating her mind through hypnosis and her dreams. Now that being said I don't hate this novel, there are plenty of things that I enjoy about it. I was just hoping for more of an evil parasite, one who sabotages the ship and kills the crew. Like a plot from Among Us. An Imposter if you will.
