T*ash of the Count’s Family Chapter 457 Discussion

I'll try to cut this review short (Edit: ahahaha) bc if you ask me to describe my true sentiments about this series I will literally write an essay. Below are my (Objective : Subjective) reviews:

Characters: (4 : 5)

• • O: The MC is very likable and clever. His intelligence is shown in action with schemes rather than descriptive. Despite what he says and thinks, he has a heroic mindset in that he disregards his own health for the sake of others. The many characters in the MC's group are also fairly unique and have their own perks. The villains are not as descriptive; though the main antagonist is relatively written out, the rest are mostly bland characters whose only ambitions are to serve him.

• • S: Omg I love Cale sm. He's an absolute mastermind scammer and I respect him for that. I never thought I'd be religious one day but here I am as a devoted believer in ~OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR, MASTER SILVER LIGHT SHIELD~ aLSO the people around cale are super cute too. Like, I LIVE to see Alberu and Cale interact and Raon is 100% bestboyTM

Plot: (4 : 4.5) (Edit: 4.5 : 5)

• • O: The plot revolves around the MC destroying a secret organization by scamming in order to live a peaceful life afterwards. He also takes action to scam get revenge on behalf of his companions and loot collect money for his goals. The story follows him as he gains influence/allies and sets schemes for his enemies. Unlike many transmigration novels, this story also eventually uncovers the truth behind the MC's past and present, and the reason for his current situation.

• • S: DUDE IT WAS SO GOOD IN THE BEGINNING. Cale was wrecking everything and hell ton of amazing action both physically and politically going on. Amazing to see all the plans eventually unfold. Loved that many of the previous details also play major roles in the story later on too. My only complaint is that after about 400~ chapters it kinda slows down. Like since the characters get more powerful, the fight scenes get longer and sometimes I just kinda skim them. I miss the previous feel tbh. Still, there are many occasions I still look forward to, especially the parts in relation to politics; those are epic :)
  • (Edit 490~: Yall I spoke too soon. The battle's over and the badass scheming is back at it again and somehow even more intense and addicting than before??? Idk how that works but it happened.)
  • (Edit 580~: bro just go read it)

Comment section...?: (5 : 5)

• • S: Alright everyone this novel definitely deserves top on my ranking of most interactive and hilarious comment sections ever. Lowkey like half of my enjoyment comes from just scanning the replies people put on the chapter. The teasers are also funny. The translator and editor are so cute and active too. IF YOU GUYS SEE THIS IM HERE TO SAY THAT I LOVE YOU GUYS AND THANKS FOR MAKING ME LAUGH SO MANY TIMES OVER LOL

For people still deciding whether to read this or not, you will like this if you...

• • Love fantasy and adventure types. It has AMAZING world building.

• • Read for the characters bc you WILL fall in love (trust me)

• • Enjoy scheming. I mean, the MC is basically a scammer.... so no getting out of that. Tbh I think this selling point of the series

However if you are looking for any of the below this is not the place for you:

• • Romance. nope. zero. (Contrary to those who complain about how there needs to be a love interest, I think its amazing the way it is. Ofc I still ship some people but like having them be in canon would ruin the vibe :p)

• • Tragedy elements. This is a lighthearted series, so if you're the type to get salty about it being not realistic that no one is dying after any battles or anything... yeah best avoid this

Personally though, this is definitively one of my all time favourite novels on this site. As long as you're not looking for romance, I would really recommend you give this one a try :)
