I have mixed feelings about this novel. If I'm to be honest, I think this novel has an uncomfortable amount of flaws in the main character alone. And the novel barely explains things, it feels like I've only read one chapter's worth of info, despite having read 110 chapters.But, I can't say it felt like a chore to read this. It was by no means original or unique, But I managed to read the latest chapter. So I'd argue, the story is quite alright, as long as you can ignore plotholes and plot convenience.I'm giving this a 3.5 star (even though I'm a sucker for transmigration into novels/games). Here's Why.
- Main CharacterThis is the biggest problem for me. As the story is still at it's beginning, the setting and plot have not taken form yet. And there should definitely be a lot more sides to the MC coming next. But so far, the author gave their MC a good-natured caring older brother personality. Who never says anything negative, and always says they want to avoid conflict but never actively try to do so. Hoping passivity would work, despite being in the main setting of the original novel. Genius! I'd applaud his plans if I weren't so busy applauding my forehead. Now I've read a fair amount of novels with this kind of character and usually, they don't end well. With the way the MC is, he's basically a massive pushover who is delusional to think that he has any control whatsoever. As far as it is, the MC isn't really drawing me into the story.
- Easy MisunderstandingsMC MISUNDERSTANDS EVERYTHING. Dude's denser than an Isekai and a shoujo protag combined.
- Nobody realizes MC is off.Okay, in the beginning, I was wondering how the author would pull this off since the MC has absolutely no memory or recollection of the body he is in. Other than he will die in the future and he is the second ML, wow so informative. It's safe to say that this was handled very poorly, with the author using the excuse that the MC read a lot of books. And yet the MC never hides his awe and lack of understanding at all the new things 'he' sees. Even though, it's quite odd considering these are things the real Prince Jesse should have seen many times previously. Unless he was locked up his whole life. I'm still curious as to how it will progress and hope it doesn't follow the typical route (They notice then ignore it thinking it is their imagination or Jesse just conveniently never says anything suspicious).
- Too predictableI don't think this needs many explanations, not one thing in the novel has surprised me as of yet. Everything has gone exactly how I expected it to go.
- Too many sob stories.So far every notable antagonist has been given a sob story and immediately forgiven. Or it's all just a misunderstanding. Obviously.
- The main trio currently are still in an awkward relationship right now, but it's slowly becoming a wholesome one.
- The political strife between the holy kingdom and Prince Cendrik's kingdom (forgot the name) might be a great arc (hope it's brought into the story and not brushed aside).
- The magic of this world could be delved into
- Demons could come to be a serious threat (that doesn't diminish in three seconds but actually causes damage and disadvantages to the protagonist and his allies)
- There could be a deeper truth to the second ML's past. (There's a lot of emphasize on the old 2nd ML)
- No romantic harem
- No MC romance
- Mascot characters (lots of cute animals)
- MC is surrounded by big shots who like him
- Passive MC
- ML & FL like MC more than each other
- Oblivious/naive MC
- MC has OP passive ability
- Mysterious Past of OG characters
- MC is glutton
- Cute children
- Cunning empress on the good side
- kingdom rivalry
- Siblings
- beast hunting competition
- Platonic soulmates
