The Master of the Brave Chapter 57 Discussion

This story is a breath of air, not super fresh or remotely stale

The story's plot, setting, characters (most of them) , and events are very well made and give the reader the impression of a novel to be taken seriously. Which helps the reader understand the plot more but also harms the experience of the reader when it comes to the story. Personally I loved the story, but I didn't like was the... well unnecessary things that take focus off the story or any romance, subplot, etc., a dangerous and story breaking force.

The story and characters are very believable and interact well with each other. The main character is a pure, at times naive boy who quite literally has only the goal of becoming a knight. Of course protagonists of this type are usually unnatural in the story they're in. In this case the protagonist has no ability to achieve his dream, but the means to do so and earnestly works to that dream. What makes this story stand out the most is how the interaction and story of the main female lead and the protagonist unfolds. Two on polar opposites of society attempting to close that distance while each move with another goal/ dream on the side that influences the distance between the two. The juggernaut of the main obstacle of the story is two things: social class and goals in mind.

The author is quite smart for not drowning the reader in what would be a Romeo and Juliet type of story (which has been done a thousand times over) rather the author cleverly makes the setting react accordingly and not unreasonably (unless a unnatural event or behavior occurs). When the top of society announces that a commoner is superior, of course there would be a variety of reactions to it and again I must credit the author for this variety that would typically viewed as tiresome and hence avoided and replaced with one type of reaction.

Even with all the romance stuff going on the author still continues the story at a nice pace and even makes the plot still focus on the protagonist's dream and even made the romance an obstacle to the protagonist's dream. He then must reevaluate the importance of each and which is more important. I could go on and on about the great job the author did with the story and the characters and whatnot so i'll make this short.
