I enjoyed the story for most of the beginning. The main character is the brother of someone who really enjoyed a particular story that was being written. He finds himself in the body of the 2nd male lead (2ML) with unusual circumstances surrounding it. I was intrigued, especially since it looked like the MC was determined to make it home, which I though would make an interesting dynamic with members of this fantasy world. The plot explanation in the beginning wasn't too bad:Spoiler
The plot of the story (the normal version) is that a Korean woman reincarnates into a girl who becomes a part of a love triangle with the 2ML being the other along with another.
[collapse]Unfortunately, cracks started to form as I saw the narrative taking a different direction:Spoiler- The MC is OP when it comes to holy power and it doesn't seem like there is any logic behind the power. I didn't think too much of it as there are stories that exist where OPness is well handled as having the power to destroy the planet, for example, doesn't resolve a plot line based on relationship dynamics.
- There was an attempted mu*der and he just dismissed it, instead being worried for the mu*derers...
- MC quickly finds out he is a political prisoner with a sketchy history and it ceases to be relevant afterwards. Isn't something there to make amends for?
- Divine beasts seem to serve no purpose outside of cover art and comedic relief?...
- MC attempts to avoid the other characters but fails. I accepted it at first because he can only do so much as a "guest"/hostage. The problem was that one particular part he rationally understood that a divine beast would be taken care of by others (in a fictional universe...) and still went against the logic, leading to more issues. It seems to be a complete 180 from his initial position.
