I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (WN) Chapter 235 Discussion

This novel is actually a roller-coaster ride, and actually is sometimes really satisfying if you have my preferences at least like punishing an annoying pssy and btches or something.

What I mention about roller-coaster ride is that this novel got points where the things are soaring on up Mount Everest and you dunk directly to Mariana Trench, and up to the mountain again, yes I compare it to how the start is very, very bland and you suddenly get momentum where things get reaaally nice. So you get to start in Mariana Trench.

Here's some pointers that some reviewers that rated very low missed (some minor spoilers) :

• • Why does the sword MC have a human figure as a doppelganger and Fran (wielder) doesn't really think about it? It is becauseSpoiler

    Fran knew that he's a former human. Also, he can make sword doppelgangers, but it is highly probable that because he is essentially a former human that his image is embedded by the skill.

• • How can he fly, yes with telekinesis but here's where it gets deeper: Spoiler

    If you read the manga, it is showed him being "created" or whatever (I'm not sure if he's created or just blessed or somethin') by 3 Goddesses, yup. Also he's a blade with unique properties similar to Godblades (or Divine Blades), but he's not a godblade himself, he however got unlimited growth, unlike the blades that are not growing at all, so he's most likely something greater than those things. A mystery for now.

• • The king of cooking arc is boring, yes I agree but it IS a part of the plot: (I mentioned what roller-coasters are right?) Spoiler

    That is related to the story's showcase of the Evil God's (and minions) appearance and power. The arc mentions that finalists of the contest are selected by income and customer amount, and here's a clue: Just like games, eating something can grant buffs and debuffs or negative status, and remember that this novel's world is basically RPG-esque? What if the debuff is like a curse like "s*ave of Evil god? You get it now right? K? K. Note that the Evil God is the major reason why this novel's plot is shaped this way.

• • This novel is bland af (and drops this just because of the boring start). Okay, so you basically rate novels by their initial impression. Just like in RL, you need to know someone fully in order to either trust or throw them off the ditch. You know what I mean.

Try this novel if you're fine with fantasy RPG elements. I played RPG games so I greatly like this novel. If you are like me, just read it you will have no regrets.

Also, the sword MC actually turned from a standard isekai pe*vert MC to a father figure that leads and guides the second MC, Fran (because of the events on the start, it's shocking that he actually only got a short period of insanity after being locked for few months, of which he wasted a sizable amount of Evo-Points similar to Skill Points). This is one of this novel's likeable aspects as the MC is not a teen dude that swallowed a full 500 gram bottle of viagra, instead he's a very caring person worthy of being called a parent.
