Being a Koi in a Survival Game Chapter 1138 Discussion

Interesting novel. Well paced and nicely detailed narrative. Author got inspiration from interesting movies for some game worlds.

MC is as attentive to detail as author, clever, knows herself very well, can bend and stretch, and very lucky. She started out weak (like a normal person level kind of weak) so she had to depend on ML for some situations at first but she doesn't entirely lose her independence as she still has her own wit and is very cautious and measured. As she gains more experience she grows and gets stronger and can even carry.

There's just a few points that I don't think was done very well (or maybe it was done to show some realness (?)). I don't consider it much of a drawback, just annoying.

Spoiler

• The first thing that ever peeved me was her attitude to FYZ. For someone as cautious as her, she sure treats him too laxly as someone who showed blatant harmful s**ual intentions towards her.

'Beaver City' and 'Love Town', one worse than the other, both times ML saved her just "luckily".

Third time she basically has zero defence. Had it not been for FYZ's weird temperament and incomprehensible patience, she'd be a goner. I was so close to quitting just because of this one point.

• Another peeve is how she doesn't take time to explore and practice her abilities more. Not the psychokinesis she practices in the real world but her space ability itself. She does get some free time sometimes in the game world which I think she could've used to explore without draining herself empty. I feel there's so much potential she let slip past.

She already did great in 'Feeding and Food' (vs giant worm) , as well as in 'Absolute Zero' (vs He Yu) . Which shows that her ability is clearly more than just taking inanimate items in and out but it came up to nothing. Heck she even pocketed a whole living earthen building.

So it frustrates me even more that when she has to face up pvp with stronger players or stronger bosses she gets ab*sed just one step away from death. Then just suddenly realise some potential and miraculously survive then forget whatever potential she realised until urgent needs arrive again. I have a soft spot for non-OP MCs but I dislike very obvious protag-shields.

As for ML, well he's the typical cold and powerful ML but not dislikable.

Each games, overall, are done well. NPCs aren't too stup*d.

Just pausing at c1138 cause it's too long for my preference but will definitely come back. Will edit review when I finish it by then.
