Firstly, thank you to the translator for doing a wonderful job. This work would have been so utterly confusing without your effort.I actually really enjoyed this novel, it was very interesting and the overall twists and turns of the plot really had me on the edge of my seat at times.of course, tho, there are points that bothered me such as the sun god arc.. Look I'm from america so I know as much as anyone how terrible this country can be, but I don't think it was really fair to capitalize on all the bad about it and bringing veterans into it. On the same hand of racial discrimination, I kind of found it annoying that every foreigner was blonde haired blue eyed. Like.. Yeah there was the pharaoh, but all he did was play games so he wasn't really apart of the plot. But every side character (foreign) that had a background spiel was blonde and blue eyed aside from the kid immigrant sam//: idk that could just be me wishing for more brown representation especially in the American arc, but I digress.Anyway, That's not something that necessarily takes away from the overall plot, it was just something more of a pet peeve I guess.Moving on, the only other bothersome part was that it didn't feel like the development of the cp was really there. One minute he was wary and somewhat fearful of the ML's actions and then he's in love. There was no real red face nervousness type of feeling about it. Especially since they made sure you understood one was a god with godly looks and scary tent**les and the other was a human with a weak mind and body that may collapse if he stared for too long. So even when there was a heart pounding in the text, it could have gone either way. Was it because he was scared or because he finds himself falling for him?even when he saw there future, that only leveled up to a "there's no way that will happen, he's a god and he would never feel that way about me" then that was thrown to the back of his mind and only looked upon when the two were confessing. So it felt like it was sprung on us. That's not to say the interactions weren't cute, because they were, but it was more in a "because I know this is the cp, I ship them even tho the feelings haven't gotten there yet" sorta vibe.I'm not sure if that makes sense, but again, that's more of an opinion that made the whole build up feel lackluster in the long run.because of the two cons I had with this I'm giving this read a 4.5 on the low end, I enjoyed it, but the ending and everything combined just kind of left me wanting more. I guess.
