What Happens When the Second Male Lead Powers Up Chapter 168 Discussion

Grade:

6/10 (its starts good, but ends up becoming the repetitive story of the MC not truly doing nothing until he reacts to the space around him, he lacks ambitions for a lack of better word)

TLTR:

good read, not engaging nor deep tho, its clearly more for a young audience, there is a notable lacking of driven force for the protagonist, its mostly for a female oriented overview. good to pass the time, I really liked the use of french terms instead of korean terms.

pro:

• • good worldbuilding

• • good power system (holy/mana power)

• • interesting characters on itselfand good trope subversions

cons:

• • bad MC driving force (lack off)

• • like, we finally see the traces of a antagonist until chapter 140~, to that point is mostly the same thing.

• • somewhat low stake story (i mean, like its supossed to be a medieval powerhouse agains other nation, but the worst thing to happen that we learn its kinda meh?)

• • the MC is quite a dense pushover (threre is a difference between kind and s*upid, he went pass that since chapter one)

My oppinion:Spoiler

its a shame really, it does many thigns right, some of the trope subversion are great and interestign! but the clear lack of a drivinf force its the nail on the coffin nonetheless, (huge spoiler next, pls read under your own understanfing) like, I really liked the way the attendant of MC sister, who is the holy kindgom face, realizes that he is other person, and personally, I feel like the stakes along this story are really watered down, and I mean it, the queen of the kingdom the MC is a political prisioner is quite a b*tch, as she acts liek she never did any underhand tactics under the table, even when its heavily hinted at, but nooo, she is as mad as everyone else at the "enemy" they found out, prince consort, ngl he has some good reasons why he went into deep shit, and its kinda all the fault of that queen, I really like that they explain the core reason behind his actions like, he was a devoted and loving, husband, but the queen lie to him for years... yeah, I kinda dislike that bithc of a queen you know? and she instead of tryuing to do better, just does nothing and being honest, its understandable how he fell... I kinda hope the chapters in the future center more on that point really. finally, my last thorn is the relathionships on this story, they are quite strange, its like a bi/poly wet dream, I persnally find tasteless how the story tries to drive home that point
