T*ash of the Count’s Family Chapter 571 Discussion

Lets start off with saying how much I love this web novel. Its not fast-paced nor slow-paced. The story goes at a steady speed that always has something happening but it never seems rushed. Its not the most actionpacked story out there but something important always seems to be happening.

Its one of those reads where the side characters actually get enough dialogue and have enough presence where you always feel they are out in the world doing something that has purpose.

This web novel gives off contradicting feelings in a good way. Its lighthearted yet multiple characters pasts are tragic. Theres despair but also hope. Its heartwarming but at times sad. And the MC is the most contradicting of all. He wants to live the life of a slacker but he works harder than anyone else. He acts like he doesn't care at times but cares more than anyone. He risks his life through most off the story but acts like its no big deal.

As for people complaining that he knows everything thats going to happen so far, im guessing you haven't read much of this web novel. At a point pretty early on, Cale makes it past the fifth and final volume of the story hes entered the world of and even some of the information he knew changed because he was going around changing the story. He after that has to go about finding information himself and yet he still almost always ends up being a step ahead of his enemies. And when hes not, he always finds a way to turn the situation to his favor.

This is one of the few web novels ive found where the MC is leaps and bounds smarter than the villains. He has setbacks, but throughout the whole web novel Cale never 100% loses. He alway pays back his enemies. His allies are strong, but his charisma, his protectiveness of his allies, and the lengths he goes through to finally have a peacelul life are more impressive to me.

I may be biased because I like 90% of the characters but this is one of the most enjoyable reads ive had in a long time. Theres a levity and confidence to Cales dialogue that makes you think things will never go wrong as long as he is there to orchestrate the battle plans. So in turn, that takes off the stress alot of books purposefully give you and turns the read more relaxing and happier than most other reads.

All in all if you just want action then this book isn't for you, but if you want a quality fantasy with a plethora of good characters, nonstop getting in the villains way while tricking them, overpowered abilitys and magic that both allies and enemies have, entertaining banter, and a satisfying story then this is for you.
