Tra*sh of the Count's Family has completely changed my standard for good stories. There are still some negative aspects in this novel, but some of them are positive aspects for me. It's already have 900+ chapters right now and the amount of chapters might intimidate you, but if you have the time for it, I really recommend you to give it a go.These are some points why I love this novel so much.
- The MC - Cale HenituseCale is a great strategist, leader, teacher, and father for his people. Cale is also doing a good amount of scamming, but what I like about Cale is, he never take money/advantage from innocent people. He only scam people who deserve it (or at least I think they do). Actually, his ultimate goal is just to be a slacker. But he's doing everything to protect his family and his home, so people are often misunderstood his action from his actual intention. He's doing all good stuffs, but he just hate to take credits for it.
- The Henituse Family"There is no reason to be recorded in history. Live for peace and happiness." That's the motto of Henituse Family. I really like it, it's different than most of stories I've read, so I think it's really fresh to have this kind of motto. I think this is why Cale adjust well with this new family. Cale was orphaned, so he's still awkward towards his new family. I also really like Deruth's (Cale's father) mindset. Here's my favorite quote from Deruth Henituse : Spoiler
"I do not like meaningless sacrifices. And... I do not like meaningful sacrifices that much either." (Ch. 672)
I should say, Deruth Henituse is the best webtoon/webnovel daddy.
[collapse]- The Side CharactersAll the side characters in TCF are remarkable. I found it easy to get attached to all the characters. Even some of the villains are leaving a deep impression for me. Some might say Cale is an overpowered MC, but he didn't overshadowing the side characters. They are all just equally important in my eyes. The author is really great at making loveable characters, not only just the MC.
- Wholesome platonic relationshipsTCF is lacking romance. That's true. But for me, it's one of the major reasons why I love TCF. The characters' interactions are so wholesome, and I don't think they need romance in their relationship to make a good story. I really respect Author Yu Ryeo Han who can write a 900+ chapters novel without romance but it's still fun and interesting. I do think this novel is totally enjoyable even without romance. At this point, I think it'll be really awkward to add romance in the story, so I hope it'll keep this way, super duper wholesome.
- The misunderstandingsThere are a lot of misunderstandings in this novel too, but most of the misunderstanding are can't be said they're wrong. It's just hard to understand Cale's intention, so everyone just misunderstood Cale's intention. They're not wrong, but it's just different with Cale's intention. It's fun to see Cale digging his grave deeper by making people misunderstood him and make his slacker dream drift further away from him. LMAO.
I thought I won't like this 2nd part as much as the first part, because the contents are mostly Cale travelling across dimensions. But I was wrong! I love it!
I found the murim world is kinda hard to understand because I haven't read any murim stories before, but when I finally get a grasp on it, it's actually really fun, and I still read it immediately after the chapter release, and even now, I can't wait to read the next chapter. It's a blessing that we have 3 chapters every week. Bless Author-nim.
[collapse]I'm trying so hard to write it briefly, because if I didn't held back, the Caleism inside me will just ended up making a whole essay about worshipping Cale. I might go back here to add more on this review, but for now, this is all!
