The Academy’s Weapon Replicator Chapter 231 part2 Discussion

I like it, its to be expected that the novel would have cliches which is inherent with the genre so I will pass on reviewing that aspect as it is cliche.

First the MC. There isn't alot of details about his original life, and the body he possessed is also a minor character who was basically just a mob in the game and had very little information himself. Yet as the story progresses I noticed the similarities in character of the MC to the bodys relatives. Which is that they are very taciturn; does not show their emotions easily kind of like Vulcans from Star Trek. Imagine near constant poker face. So it can be hard to figure out that they actually care for each other and their people quite deeply. Also the MC has adapted quite well in his new body. I would even say he has done so better than the original owner or at this point Im asking myself was the original owner really the "original" one? Theres an arc regarding wraiths trying to possess his body that sort of could be a clue but again it wasn't explicitly mentioned but it did click. So I am looking forward to more developments.

The world has incorporated Gods and Demons, And Myths and Legends. Gods in particular have a mix of greek and norse mythology (so far) Demons from the Christian Bible (No angels as of yet). And King Arthur and his cast has also existed in their world in the past though the writer has taken some liberties with their stories here and there. So far Im liking the world building and the developments so far. Though I have occasionally took a rest here and there from reading. The book doesn't have alot of fluffy in your feels moments. Maybe since the majority of the exposition is from the MCs point of view and he can be quite.. Emotionless.

His relationship with other characters especially the main cast can be described as distant at worst or tolerated at best. He is a loner this one. But! Its character development. He does care about the other characters. A whole lot actually. More than his inner dialogue would care to admit. The cast does notice it but our MC tends to try and do it all himself it has beens sprinkled here and there that he has an existential crisis about his conception that its a game world (having an in-game status screen in a real world would kinda f*ck you up tbh) and the reality that the characters have real feelings and real relationships and he feels GUILTY. So he inevitably keeps the ones his body originally knows at a distance and so far from what I've noticed he has only unconsciously let that guard down (just a teeny bit) with a character stuck to him that he never knew of in the game.

In summary the story despite having alot of characters feels "lonely" alot of his fights despite his OP ability is rather tragically desperate and very painful but I can say up to my currently read chapter that he is developing for the better. At first he was just focused on getting stronger and surviving but little by little he is developing real actual connections to his new world which is exciting for me.

I won't say it's the best book but I don't hate it, I am entertained and still raring to read more.
