The Good
- It has a good character depth and development. The heroine (s) and other characters get some nice development because of how the author gives us a in depth view on their past and their perspective in the things going around them and what they themselves think about it. We also see their whole growth and change as they struggle and develop through events that occur to them or around them. Don't remember if this applied to the buta mf MC though.
* Author is a troll at love developments, albeit the actual developments themselves are stagnant/ignored by recipient for 'reasons' which are actually reasonable. But anyways the author actually trolled me at the Alicia event where she we get her view of her love, I wont spoil for it since it's actually really witty.
* The plot is.... well uh simple. Basically about some guy (MC) who gets memories of his past life, knows the future events of his world, changes his future from being a villain into stealing the anime MC's whole harem, romcom, some misunderstandings, being op, and the anime plot where the world needs to be saved from demon king/war. That's it. This in turn keeps the story is interesting because it has a simple objective and the story doesn't fork off into random areas. Everything that has happened, so far, correlates to the anime-storyline/plot. The dialogues with (some) characters along the way also keep it interesting as a slapstick. Never read too deep into this novel, always think to the simplest things. Complex things? Whats that? Is the gist of this novel from where I left off. Its either un/explained horribly, or horribly executed if its anything complex.
* Multiple perspectives. We get perspectives of different characters and see how things develop. It isn't just to make the MC look good either, some of them have actual important pieces of information that play a part in the story. Well this realigns with why the characters develop.
The Bad:
* MC's whole existence as well as his reasoning in love is shallow. Both are in the: "It's a it's like that because it's like that" reasoning.
* The number one most bad thing about this novel, which you can even read from JP reviews, is the god awful random pacing. The author is really bad at foreshadowing and pacing chapters. For each event/volume, the author does a little thing where he shows you things that will happen in the future. This might have been a great way to give the readers a teaser, but holy ---- this author coupled with his pacing+update intervals does it so horribly. Instead of getting a teaser I just end up feeling like reading the ending of the volume (that's more complicated/intricate than the actual result) with no idea how tf I got here. I'm just left confused while the author is over there looking at me with a smug face that's saying "Hah. I see you're left in awe from reading my masterpiece." Which is actually what my impression is because this is a common mistake new writers make: leaving something that should've been so simple into something more complex so that they themselves feel they did something great.
For RAWS:
* BUHI BUHI. This might have been funny the early episodes, but after a while it serves no purpose other than being a trademark of the MC. Even the whole explanation on why he keeps panting buhi buhi but the whole execution and after-interactions when it's revealed just make it a "Its there because its there"
* The writing. In it's original language, there were a couple of arcs/chapters that just annoyed me reading it. Most of it is a batch of informal writing and gives the impression of reading an anime instead of watching it. I still remember, even to this day, having to google up slangs and other sh*t that only someone in high school would understand. Even the dialogues were like reading a dialogue of some
[collapse]Overall its ok but not that great. It's one of those novels that you leave to accumulate dust and once its piled up enough so you can binge. Since it's not really a novel worth reading 1 chapter per week.
