5/5 so far I haven't found anything I'd dislike like the idiotic nobles, useless engagements, and the 'I'm only weak when I meet the protagonist' villains.MC is really unique compared to other transmigration novels. MC in his original life he was working at a theatre, and has interest in acting, or performing in a stage.When he wakes up as Arendt he decides to play a role and he is the Performer and the characters are the Audience andddd this execution is so satisfying and enjoyable to read. It's almost like as the reader you're a part of that audience and he screws over many people lolAs he plays Arendt, he plays him well to the point he even called the God there a prop lol. So MC differentiates his own life with Arendt's and knows very well that he's not ArendtBut MC seems to have a great dislike for God's that doesn't seem like it's just a part of Arendt's scrip, and may have to do with his past life.His goal is to play the role well enough that the Protagonist of the novel becomes the hero he was meant to be and for him Arendt's to step back when done.So the clichés (not a con or pro just details about the novel) -He has a Father who became cruel after the loss of his wife (MC has no intention of forgiving him in behalf of the real Arendt-i like that and if u decide to read the novel you'll understand why) -MC plays The arrogant traitor who's close to the protagonist. He's arrogant, rude and ruthless. But that's the character Arendt not the real MC and we only get glimpses of his old life and from that he's more of calm, rational and centred person. MCs version of Arendt though is still the same rude and ruthless, and arrogant the arrogance isn't the edgy arrogance as if they wanna hate on everything that walks from the boring villain and antihero protagonists. -the pros then- MC is surprisingly intelligent, I really did not expect it. MC read the novel and is aware of most of things that will happen but unlike other protagonists who would either destroy what the villains would've used or steal it before they do or use the methods the original protagonist used, he comes up with the plans himself. in fact it's never mentioned how the protagonist solved anything, wwhats mentioned is the protagonists relationship with the God, his friends and that they would fight together as for the details not much is said.It's more like the protagonist went to this location with this and that and fought, and whoever died because of what the villain had done. So MC being a planner and coming up with ideas and traps sets him up for being really intelligent cos we see that he can also adapt to anything... what we get from the original protagonist is that they are THE protagonist, even MC has confidence in them because they are the protagonist and there's no way they'll lose while now, MC is not the main character he has to plan. It makes it even more interesting to read-The villains aren't dumbed down to idiots and they are actually prepared and powerful. - MC isn't overly OP, he gets injured, trains and is suffering from insomnia from carrying the whole empire on his back. He hates the overly righteous people who would die for honor. (same~) -his interactions with other characters is funny, and Arthur being my favourite character is close to him. The protagonist seems like any other self righteous protagonist when they find something they can't make sense off, wants to dig and break the mask MC wears- The characters like the three knight leaders and nobles can tell that everything the MC does is almost like he intentionally wants you to pay attention to him especially when he's doing that this is my stage thing. So I like that they are smart enough to notice and aren't just existing for the plots sakeTranslation is 5/5Ive read Mtl so it's nice to read the translation, there's no grammar errors and the site looks great. (ive noticed that when authors don't want their protagonist to be called Gary stues, they give them a nasty and stubborn personality that yet allows for a bit of friendship but still draws a line between them and characters. And have the characters curse them out everytime they talk about them while low key liking them😂 and that's surmmarises MC relationship with his friends. The same happens in the return of mount hua sect)
