I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated (WN) Chapter 230 Discussion

This series is one of those isekai stories that are actually good, not like those other isekai novels where MC gets an op cheat and goes on a journey to create the greatest harem intentionally or not, or those other stories where MC goes on a rampage of killing for revenge or self satisfaction showing no character development at all (there are ones where the MC gets some character dev so not all revenge stories are bad).

Now let's talk about why this series is such a masterpiece in my eyes. First of all the MC is reincarnated as a sword (not a spoiler since the title kinda says it all) which is a really unique type of reincarnation (haven't seen any other stories with sword MCs tbh), and the MC isn't given a world toppling cheat, it's not really op, maybe just a tad bit so.

Let us move on to the main lead that accompanies the MC. The main lead isn't some ignorant blockhead who doesn't know of the darkness of the world, although she's still as innocent as one can get (just saying she's so damn MOEEEEEE) and isn't some sort of person who insists on not killing/over excessively harming the other party, not saying she's a damn killing machine which lives to kill, she acts depending on the situation, taking everything into consideration, and then acts upon how she sees fit. Also the MC isn't an idiot who sticks to the ideology that killing is wrong, he realizes he's in another world where the common sense of people is different and that his ideology might not be beneficial when facing certain situations in this world.

The characters in this story aren't some 2D brainless cardboards that are there to add more awesomeness to the MC. In my opinion every character that I came across in this story had a lot of personality and color, we get to see there point of views and come to understand why they act the way they do and we also see the supporting characters aren't brainless people who do whatever the MC and the main lead say, acting as their arms and legs.

Character development is just amazing. We see the MC and the main lead grow as and we see how their way of thinking changes and how their perspective changes towards the world and how they strive to improve their ways of doing things and their actions to achieve better results later on, and they're not always in the right either, they realize that they were at fault sometimes and try their best to learn from their mistakes and improve so that they're never repeated again. They also learn to depend on each other more and more as the story goes on which makes their bond grow stronger and stronger (and also grow sweeter and sweeter).

Overall every element of this novel is great no matter how I look at it, not saying their aren't any bad points about the novel. Although there are a bit non existing problems with it, it doesn't really hinder the enjoyment one receives from reading this, at least for me. Also props to the translators for working hard on this novel, especially the current translator, CarboardTL, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for picking this novel up when it was stagnant and releasing around 3-4 chapters weekly, keeping us readers intrigued and not letting us lose to the boredom of waiting.
