I came from next door because I thought this MC was the crybaby host the other novel's system kept referring to he wasn't.Tried reading it anyway and it pleasantly surprised me. It was pretty light-hearted for a novel involving wars (with insects?zergs?) and there were way more comedic and heartwarming situations than serious ones. Maybe it's because the MC himself is a very easy-going person, the whole novel had a cute filter whenever he was involved.Honestly, my impression of the author is that they really love hidden identities. All of the author's MCs have some big background and are secretly powerful. Good and bad, because it's super exciting to read about hidden cards, but after the novelty wears off it starts feeling draggy and reused. I think the author did a better job in puppet notes maintaining that status quota since the ML knew about MC's powers from the start. Their relationship was a bit more equal. For this, it got a little on my nerve when the ML still wasn't in the know after interacting with MC's hidden identity for the nth time. Despite the MC being ML's bulter, the one pulling the strings is MC. ML does have parts where he shine but majority of the time it's really just MC saving the day. ML is the damsel in distress. MC really carried the entire story from the start to end.That said, it's feeling a little draggy at the part I'm at, so taking a break before coming back. All in all a pleasant read and I look forward to more works from the author, they keep improving.
