REALLY GOOD, DANG!I read it as a replacement after going through a roller coaster of emotions after reading ORV so I will compare TCF to ORV mostly.For me, ORV is a novel with a good relationship in which the side characters treasure the MC, and I love their relationship. But then, here comes TCF. TCF is better than ORV I should admit. The plot twist is really, really good that you wont know the smallest action of the MC and the side characters will bring something really big afterwards. The side characters are used VERY WELL and NICELY. Not only does the author make a delish bond with each of side characters with the MC, the author builds a very good relationship one side character with other side characters gradually Spoiler
to the point they called each other as family
[collapse] which is the one that lacks in ORV since the side characters only have a strong bond with the MC but little to none to the other side characters.The MC is the one with a clever mind, collected, and (as long as I remember) never panicked out. He always has his head cool and full of plans. He indeed uses good and strong people but at the point they are in a win-win situation that would make you think 'Ah, this deal is fair and clever'. That's why the MC could bring strong people as his ally with max royalty.The plot, AT FIRST, indeed feels so slow and lost, but that's only in the beginning and also the key for the next events to take place. And, I love how the author brings the background of the MC's real identity into the world where the MC is thrown to.I, too, am not really interested in this novel in the beginning, but when I reached chapter 100-200 when the wars have taken place, damn it, this novel is gold.
