The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman Chapter 54 Discussion

Boring. I gave it a go since it was pretty popular but from the beginning, it hasn't stopped being cliche after cliche.

Obviously the MC is OP, and you don't stop getting reminded of this at least every 5 chapters by other characters calling him a genius and having limitless talent, they literally cannot stop sucking his dick. He hasn't had a single actual struggle, at most they're for show. His character is plain, Spoiler

he was an assassin in his previous life so he's all heartless and cold, has the capacity to kill, do what needs to be done, whatever

[collapse] He's a Gary Stu.

The rest of the characters are your boilerplate side characters, most of which are obviously going to underestimate him, then consider him as a rival, then they'll be get humbled by how incomparably talented he is in comparison to them, and of course they'll all come to respect him, some even be friends with him. The usual. We can't forget about thatSpoiler

annoying demon in his head that's always so surprised when he gets one-upped whenever he tries to take over his body or have a bet with him, that obviously aren't really problems and conveniently give him stats somehow.

I'm at chapter 54 and the plot is slow, or actually hasn't moved at all, it feels like it's still at the stage of introducing characters. I don't think I can keep reading it. If you have the patience and time to see if you'll like whatever this novel is heading towards, which you probably already have an idea about, go read it. Just don't expect anything unique.

Frankly, if you wanna read something that has parallels (quite a number of them too) with this novel but is executed better, read Damn Reincarnation instead.
