The Virtual Character I Personally Raised Wants to Marry Me Chapter 419 Discussion

I usually don't review novels unless I read the finished translation (And not the mtl) but in this case, because of some negative reviews (and how readable the mtl is) I decided not to wait until the tl catches up (it will take forever at this rate)

Let's get one thing out of the way, this novel doesn't mainly focus on the romance, it's there (and it's so cute and fluffy) but most of it is the MC (and the players and NPC) rebuilding their home planet. I personally didn't find it boring because I was invested in how far they could go. The setting was also pretty nice, starting in a small kingdom and expanding slowly into an intergalactic setting the stakes also increased appropriately as the story advances!

let's talk characters.

The MC was barely a young adult by the time he passed away, which makes him pretty young for someone who has to take the responsibility of an emperor in a new world after his death. Despite being OP (which is understandable, his character in the game was literally made to be a very OP emperor) I didn't feel like it was too unreasonable, and still enjoyed his journey to level up and improve.

The ML hm despite the yandere tag, I didn't really think he was one? not in the sense we're used to when we think of a yandere. I need people to understand that for the ML, MC is his GOD, the person who saved him, and gave him the life he has now and his behavior makes sense (he also doesn't cross the line at all and controls himself pretty well. There was ONE scene where it was a bit confusing whether it was dub consent or not but considering the circumstances at that moment I would... let it pass)

One thing to keep in mind before reading is that both the MC and ML are ridiculously overpowered, it's a happy ending novel that will satisfy people who want to read something without worrying about any angst (aka perfectly tailored for me) so if you don't like seeing OP characters doing OP character things, then this might not be the one for you.

Spoiler

One review mentioned how it was ridiculous that the ML didn't realize how MC was his god right away because he's not too bright? I would've been upset if he figured it out right away tbh, he was thinking that MC was the god's new favorite which made much more sense. For the ML his god abandoned him for 10 years, he suddenly lost contact and was sent to a new strange world. Of course he wouldn't think MC is his god right away and it made sense when through the hints MC kept dropping unconsciously he would slowly piece it together!

As for why no one notices MC was too OOC, MC was a prince that was hidden from the public since he was young due to lack of elemental talent, it was mentioned that even his older brother doesn't know him that well. After taking the throne he was finally revealed and was acting cowardly, but people still didn't have much contact with him which is why they also mention how the change might be him acting as a weakling before and due to him awakening his elemental power WHICH is also imo what the game team was going to do since in the original setting snow roland was supposed to become an op NPC AND in that parallel universe si cheng mentions that he was killed by traitors and not by sicheng.

In defense of MC too, he was 21 (? I think ? or was it 23) and he was a spoiled rich kid and a very famous singer, to suddenly die and wake up to your favorite character trying to kill you, being too weak, unable to trust anyone and having a deadline of a month to pay the fee otherwise your country will be invaded, I don't blame him for how he reacted at first. And I can forgive him for being too strong, he has the future forum, future knowledge, and gaming knowledge to be able to reform this magical kingdom so fast. He also has the help of the gaming system.

Overall I think the fun of this novel is seeing the progress of the kingdom, even when things are progressing way too quickly and smoothly because after all this is supposed to be a game world, I won't be applying any logic to it, it's just satisfying to see them be happy and grow as a nation.
