Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 238 Discussion

I have finished part 1 of this novel, and am going to take a break for the translations to catch up before continuing.

I reached up to c62 of the translations before I switched to mtl, and couldn't stop binging because this novel succeeded in pulling me in for more.

I truly recommend checking it out, the story is very well written, and the scope and weight of the world expands as you continue on and discover things alongside the MC. A warning though, it can be an emotionally heavy novel to binge the further it goes. It is not a light-hearted novel.

Nearing and at the end of part one, I had to double check the tags of this novel to see if it was a tragedy, and I was genuinely shocked to see the comedy tag. The comedy was definitely visible at the beginning, but I think it ended up slowly dissipating as the story went on (not in a negative way, in a way that raises the stakes and adds to the weight of the novel)

The role-playing of the MC was enjoyable, I had a lot of fun reading about the misunderstandings involving his character role-playing. That aspect is probably one of my favorite parts of the novel, and one of the stand out areas that makes it different from others. All the characters are well-written and enjoyable once you get to know them, even if you initially dislike them.

The mtl was tolerable, but I stopped at the end of part one because some scenes were hard to understand and I need to understand the full scope before I continue.

I would actually give this novel a 4 - 4.5 star rating, but I decided to give it a 5 because it managed to pull me in and the mtl probably affected my enjoyment. I might revise my review depending on how the future translations and plot goes.

I was actually disappointed with the direction the novel took at the end of part 1, but it is entirely personal preference and not on the plot.
