Legend Chapter 360 Discussion

This novel had a promising premise and overall quality writing but ultimately the downfall was the conflicting themes in the novel.

The conflict is from the problem of the weird creation of tension or how the author sometimes introduces a deep plot that may drive the story but this was introduced in a slice of life.

To put it simply the slice of life genre is a natural flowing style of story telling. revolving around the main characters and basically creates a slow, go with the flow type of story. Now can you see the problem? The problem is the creation of tension and foreshadowing.

A slice of life can have tension and foreshadowing but the use of that in this story is most of the time badly timed or if not forced. The entry of these foreshadows and tension is used by the author to move the story, much like how the next villain would be showed in the shadows after the hero beats the first enemy.

The author does this to advance the story but that is the problem in the story telling, the slice of life becomes a plot driven story but since the core was made to slice of life the character development and everything else were all underdeveloped.

Think about it this way the author went to cuts vegetables with a sword, wrong tool for the job. It would have been fine if the characters were more fleshed out but they were not. In the end the author was forced to rush character development then slow down and speed up, this messes up the pacing that then creates a mixed atmosphere when reading the book.

Overall the conflict is that the slice of life story is driven by unnecessary/forced plot devices.

Note: I put it to myself that no matter how bad a book is I would not review it until I read through it. It was a real struggle reading through this book, there was no enjoyment for me, if this was my first ever novel then maybe I would have had an easier time but since I have a lot of books under my belt from CN, TH, Originals to JP seeing clichés and plot devices used in a rather s*upid way made me vomit blood reading.

Though on the plus side the writing was clean and can even made reading a bit easier. On the technical side the novel stood out but on the creativity and imagination... lets say it left much to be desired.
