I... can't keep my interest in this novel..I don't know why it has as high as 4.5 ratings.The characters are interesting.The arcs are.. okay, maybe. Idk. My feeling is contradictory because it is actually one of the main reason why I can't keep my interest.Each arc has some participants, but I rarely see them participate, like they're just backgrounds.. Except for MC, ML, and their circle of friends. My point is, if you don't need the others, why make them exist? Cannon fodder? A few, yes. And I don't mind. But most are just backgrounds! Exist for our MC and ML to sound out their logic so it doesn't appear 'too easy'. Sorry if it's harsh, but that's my very honest opinion...Other than that, the arcs' plot itself is quite interesting, but to be honest the disadvantage I stated before diminished more than 50% of my interest.. Because some participants in the arcs are just backgrounds, I felt like the overall plot of the arcs is just MC's group show (taken from 'one man show').Also, this can be an advantage for some, but not for me because it kinda gets annoying and makes the feeling of 'cannon fodder' and 'backgrounds' more pronounced:Spoiler
Every arc has newbies. The setting is actually unique, not the mainstream of Unlimited Flow like most novels out there. That's why we have newbies for each arc.
[collapse]The best arc until c144 is the first arc. The plot is there + I at least know each participants and a bit of their story and what they did in the arc. The 'villain' also left the deepest impression.Talking about 'villains', somehow it doesn't leave much impressions.. I mean, when the arc ends I was neither happy nor sad. I was like, "Oh, it has ended."Overall, I'm actually quite disappointed... Part of the reason is the ratings are way too high if I consider the disadvantages I felt when reading.
