Kinda wandering between liking this novel and feeling bored with it.I’m new with the metaphysical stuff and ngl it is interesting. Somewhat. Tho I do feel like I just kept getting forcefully spoon-fed sometimes. I still like it tho. (sounds masochistic??) But I find the writing kinda immature. Like, I think it’s very fast paced, events after events keep happening one after another, but considering the plot, of which until now (more than half length of the novel) I can’t get a clear view of. I’m guessing it’s about stripping off the evil off of ML but as I said until now there’s not a glimpse of it. So I guess it’s all gonna be cram packed in the last third part of the novel and I know I’m not gonna like the fast paced x2 kind of storytelling.Same with romance by the way, till now I see no chemistry aside from MC being able to be near ML without getting harmed. As in not a single hint of chemistry. Spoiler
Yes, even when they already kissed twice which is more like CPR. There’s no dokidoki.
[collapse]Aside from those, the biggest variable for me is the characters. As with the fast pace of the story, there’s no time to really appreciate nor time for the author to really shape up any of the characters. It’s practically like getting labeled with a sticky note like ‘this character is like this’ and that’s it. Not even just for the side characters, the protagonists are also the same, you can see it in the first 10 chapters.Speaking of the protagonists, ML is like a foil, maybe a light reflector, to make the MC shine more. He’s very flat. An unfortunate, self-sacrificial gentleman. You won’t see any other sides of him aside from that.Spotlight on the MC, I like her unwavering self-confidence and kindness. But she’s very much like a 10 y/o. That’s it. She’s confident and kind and a 10y/o. If it wasn’t mentioned she’s in college I would’ve continued imagining her as a 10y/o. And everytime her being in college is not mentioned my image of her keeps going back to 10y/o.So aside from the metaphysics that is fresh to me and the little bit of comedy. There’s nothing really interesting in it for me.
