The Slothful Villainous Noble Chapter 33 Discussion

Honestly the more the story goes on the more the deification of the MC (Luc) by everyone becomes so uncomfortable it feels disgusting. (Most of all just braindead)

I wanted to give this 1 star, but given the fact that it is pretty readable I won't.

Let's talk about Luc first.

This story follows the "the MC is more imaginative, therefore, is better-at/can-create magic" trope. It is not explained why the f*ck he can. Just accept it. Luc is also handsome/beautiful thanks to his constant effort in beautification techniques. Once again, why the f*ck he knows them is not explained. Expect it to come up A LOT.

Luc is also physically strong but in almost the most lame way possible. {Spoiler 1}. It honestly doesn't feel "earned" since there is no drawback AT ALL and he somehow keeps his physique exactly to his beauty standards, which I guess it's fiction so I will ignore the logistics of that.

{Spoiler 1}

Spoiler

He has a unique magic that can control him (and others) to move for him, which then does all the exercise and learns fighting techniques for him

[collapse]

He is "kind" and "charitable". Every-time this is said/implied I want to just punch Luc and whoever said it. Luc is lazy, the best he does is giving money and going along with his fiancée to orphanages. It is the most laziest (appropriate I guess) way of doing things. Yet, the reaction he gets for this are overblown.

Mentioning his fiancée, it is honestly the most pathetic way of getting one.

Spoiler

He saw that she could cook and was like "That would be useful" and proposed.

[collapse]

But Luc isn't actually the bad part of the novel, no, that is the ABSOLUTELY f*ckING BRAINDEAD everyone-else.

Note: There are some people (like his sister) that are purposefully vain and one-note/dimensional. The problem comes when the people who are meant to be reasonable start doing the following.

Some are just absolutely enthralled and creaming themselves with Luc's beauty that it feels disgusting.

Some act like he is some saint and creaming themselves because he "helped" their orphanage ("helped" being: {Spoiler 2})

{Spoiler 2}

Spoiler

His fiancée gives food out when he recommends that instead of gaining weight from eating she could start a restaurant or give to others for charity, Luc just tags along and gives money

[collapse]

A heroine wanting to marry him because he is strong, which is okay, but it doesn't feel earned (see above about Luc in spoiler)

And more.

On the note of heroines, of all of them, they are the most unlikeable and braindead. Seriously, if I had to pick a favourite it would be the heroine of the original story that is with the original story's MC and likes him.

In fact, when I realised that I REALLY wanted her to keep liking the original story's MC and keep hating Luc, this story was bad enough to write a review.

Some notable points:

Magic:

Spoiler

Once again, why the f*ck is he able to just create a basically f*cking sentient mana-thing with BASIC magic.

Magic girl is a b*tch:

Spoiler

One of the heroine's is the daughter of a magician who measured and contacts Luc. She generally acts insufferable, but in c33 when the original MC asks "How is he (Luc) normally" (he currently thinks he is like the average noble from his family, who are shit) she refuses to answer because he is Luc's enemy? Bit*h think about it logically, if you tell him and he realises that Luc isn't like the rest of his family wouldn't that help Luc, and remove an "enemy"

[collapse]

The f*cking helping an orphanage:

Spoiler

Once again, a girl is like "ooo~ I wanna marry Luc because he helped our orphanage" and it is literally "oh he gave money and visited". Imagine if some rich dude just gave money to charity and now everyone acts like they are the best person alive and are creaming themselves for him. It's disgusting.

[collapse]

Talking about marrying Luc:

Spoiler

The class is put into groups for group projects and they literally start talking about how they want to marry Luc and it is the most cringe sh*t I have read in a while. Especially when there reasons seem so f*cking superficial that they just seem unlikeable. The merchant girl is okay though, at least she is honest.
