The First Boss of Horror Tales Chapter 1 Discussion

  • #1
This is eerily similar to Thriller Tour Group. However, The First Boss of Horror Tales has poorer storytelling.

1. Both TTG and TFBHT have silver-haired ruthless maniac MC's. They both even have 'Wei' in their name (different Chinese character, but still). They are both 'sickly, on the verge of death' and both are very strong. TTG's MC is a bit more playful and interesting in my opinion. TFBHT's MC was in a different unlimited flow world before and gets stuck in a new one. He's driven by revenge, mostly.

2. The 'instances' in TTG are based off history and legends, as well as ancient artifacts. TFBHT's 'instances' are specific areas in the real-world that are based on a legend (?)

3. Both stories have an 'audience' and 'live-stream' aspect

3. Side characters in TTG take a back seat with the MC in the spotlight but they all have their backstories and personalities. In TFBHT, the side characters feel like decoration or something. The don't really seem to contribute anything except the fact it'd be weird it they weren't there.

The storytelling is also kinda jumbled in First Boss of Horror Tales, as perspectives shift sometimes with little explanation. One moment they're at a Hall, the next moment they're at the House.... And the fighting action seems lackluster (elbow hit here, shove there...). It's extremely wordy sometimes with the descriptions for things that don't really feel important (TTG is also extremely wordy, but mostly filled with historical explanations that just go over my head).

Finally, besides the descriptions of pain and coughing up blood, the MC is super op here. No one asks or seems to question it even though MC is a 'newcomer, ' they just underestimate him until he does something and everyone is like "how can he do this?! Omg!!!" It gets bland after a while.
