The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman Chapter 46 Discussion

I really liked it at first, but soon—very soon—it became repetitive. Just 46 chapters into the story, and Raon had already reformed three arrogant young masters (probably more, surely more, just unnamed). In just 46 chapters, starting around chapter 10, everyone only ever talks about Raon. I'd really like to hear Glenn praise or secretly dote on his other grandsons or granddaughters with a smile on his face, but no...

Spoiler

- But Ou, ya know that Glenn is particularly loving of Raon because of what happened between him and his daughter Syliva, so he feel more guilt for neglecting her.

Me: isn't that a reason to be as loving of his other grandchildren as well? Didn't it all happen because he doted on his other children and neglected his daughter.

- But I'm sure he love them as well, surely.

Me: I didnt say he doesn't, but said he doesn't think of them at all, and seems only interested in Raon, only listening to Rimmer talking about Raon's progress.

- Well, you only read 46 chapter, he may start paying more attention to them as well.

Me: surely he will, including how Raon has made them into *better* versions of themselves.

- But this novel is about Raon, isn't it normal for his grandpa only think of him? He probably thinks of his other grandchildren behind the scene. It's a novel about Raon, centered around Raon, and only for Raon, so it's normal.

Me: fair enough. Then it simply not my cup of tea.

[collapse]

Everyone, from trainees to instructors to collateral line members or main family members, only discusses Raon's talent. Everyone seems to be thinking about Raon, if a random person appears, expect them to think of Raon in one way or another (if they don't, it mean they haven't met Raon yet). It's always Raon influencing people, Raon defeating people, Raon exceeding expectations, and Raon beating others into "better" versions of themselves.

I wonder if he'll ever meet a peer stronger and more talented than himself (mental age aside), someone he'll need years (not just days) to defeat. Probably not (though who knows, there is always a higher mountain). In case I haven't made myself clear, what I hate about this novel is its repetitiveness and the one-dimensional character behavior where everyone only thinks about the main character.

I really dislike this trope in particular. It's okay for characters to be influenced by the MC, to like MC, but for the MC to be the only reason you appear or think—just to make him seem stronger, shine brighter, or look nobler? I'd rather not have characters like that wasting my time.

I still have it 4 stars, just to be nice (cause I accidentally rated it when I wasnt planning to).
