Review Detail of PinkPencil in In Naruto: Reborn with Talent

If there is one word to describe this work, it would be... bland. Extremely so... I'll try to make the review as spoiler-less as I can. Lets start with the MC. He is so bland that sometimes I even doubted him being the mc. He has no personality whatsoever. The author tried to slap on some 'quirkiness' to him but it all seemed so superficial that it almost made me roll my eyes. Whatever 'uniqueness' he had to himself (due to his golden finger) was quickly negated after his 'core powers' were shared among his harem. Yep, the thing that should have set such a bland MC aside from anyone was also distributed among others... and it was a one way transaction too... he doesn't get anything in return except for making his harem members stronger (which they already were...). Honestly, the harem members have more uniqueness and are more interesting than the MC himself, thats never a good sign(but I still slogged through this work). The harem was also pretty bog standard for a naruto fanfic but I can't really complain about it, it is what it is. Except for the first two, there really isn't much of an impactful development for the rest and are extremely rushed(like literally skipping through the whole development phase). What irks me the most is that, except for some, the rest of the harem members have the tag of 'waiting for the MC to save me from being r*ped/ forced into prostitution/ becoming a breeding cow and then fall for him'. Thats just how the initial interactions with his harem members go... I get that the world of Naruto is extremely f*cked up but even then, many harem members just didn't get r*ped in the canon but the author just twisted things for it to happen for his own conveniences. Not to mention, this all happens almost exclusively to minors... Its not a wish-fulfillment fanfic and I didn't expect or want that anyways but this is just pure BS at its finest. The harem members are also extremely OP (since they have access to the MCs golden finger) to the extent that there doesn't seem to be a point for the MC even existing except for the fact that he is their 'hubby'. There isn't really much lemon content but I'm glad that there isn't much since the author really sucks at writing those. The few lemon scenes are like reading the christian scripture of 'how to procreate at the wedding night'. The story development is also very boring to say the least, it's just third-rate 'scheming and manipulation in the shadows' for most part. Nothing really impactful ever happens, nothing to even mildly pump your blood, most of the content is either training, developing or just scheming. The fights are okay I guess but lack any impact whatsoever. To keep it spoiler-less, I'll end it this segment on this note but nonetheless I hope it gets my point across. I honestly feel like a b*tch for writing this review so negatively but after slogging through this work I honestly feel this way. The author has alot of potential, the writing quality is also pretty good, its just that the story itself is really really bland... Thank you for reading my 'not so little' review. Also if no paragraphing appears in the review, don't blame it on me, I paragraphed it all, it's just this app is messing things alot. Anyway, ba bye.
