After Transmigrating Into the Book, I Picked up the Protagonist-Shou Chapter 32 Discussion

Decided to drop it at chapter 32...

I can't. It's enough. Can't stand it anymore...

The MC is freaking annoying! I'm sorry to those who find his character "charming" but I definitely don't find him as one.

He's naive, an overhinker, and obviously suffering from "chuuni" syndrome (and is obviously well-aware of it, thanks to the author constantly emphasizing it every time he makes s*upid decisions like a suicidal blockhead but still not doing something about it). He has more other characteristics I wouldn't want for a main character. Heck, I even initially thought that he'd be like Xie Lian but I couldn't call him a cinnamon bun because there's nothing admirable about him; I just feel pure annoyance and suffocating frustration whenever he opens his mouth.

Do you know those loud male friends of main protagonists in a story whose main purpose is to show the contrast and the IQ gap between your typical likeable MC and a mere side character? Well, his character setting falls under that category.

I tried to stay and persevere because I wanted to at least find a likeable side of him but the author's writing has successfully prevented me from doing so. Plus, for some weird reason, the author decided to mash up the POV of the main protagonists in a same scene, not really bothering to build a sense of suspense or room for the readers to guess and make things a little 'unpredictable'. AND, there's so many fillery dialogues. Like I'm not kidding! Everytime I encounter one, I roll my eyes; only making me hate the MC more because he only displays his childishness. In paid subscription sites, damn, I'd definitely ask for a refund if this kind of quality is what I'm getting after paying and unlocking each chapters to read

You see, I'm up for character development and growth but the author's writing is just bad. You don't know how much I keep referencing the reviews for assurance that the MC will get better but how can I do that if I couldn't tolerate the writing style itself? It feels so amateurish, if I'm gonna be blunt. Not my mug of coffee. I'm not even gonna complain about the author giving him a golden finger

So I gave up. Not rating this because I failed to reach at least half the total chapters. What a waste of time...

But if I were to give this a rating, I'd give the author a 2 star rating out of 5, overall story progression aside.

I didn't like it one bit.
