The Spearmaster and the Black Cat Chapter 103 Discussion

  • #1
Starts off very slow and almost made me give up reading it. The translations on the early chapters are also sometimes poor and the writing seems incoherent sometimes. But that changes past chapter 20 or 30, and the story picks up and gets interesting.

The MC is also pretty awful and unlikeable. He's an absurdly overpowered vampire subrace that has none of their traditional weakness. He constantly refuses to give reasons for his actions even when they would solve his problems, and it's clear that the author wants' to write a story of the MC sleeping around with various women while also being a good guy who cares about them, so female characters just seem to come and go. For example he claims to be in love with a girl, but upon hearing that she has to earn money to buy medicine to save her father, he just says "ok too bad" and leaves her with money but goes on his own way, forgetting about her. I swear I wouldn't be surprised if the MC's main love interest ends up being his cat... he already makes some weird comment about how cute it is when it pees.

This is just the first in a line of them, with him constantly being an ass to everyone except beautiful women whom he conveniently keeps running into when they are in dire trouble. then he helps them, sleeps with them, and then leaves.

Also, there are massive information dumps everywhere. I just skip through so much garbage at times, most of it pointless and contributing nothing towards the story. For instance, paragraph after paragraph on the makeup of some area's guilds and their activities, but none of that really matters since you aren't going to remember all the information anyway and it has little to do with the story. There are also giant blocks of text describing locations at times that are just boring to read. This is a web novel, so maybe this is how some authors are without an editor to keep them in check. Either way, it makes for terrible reading material at times.
