Honestly this novel feels more like a 3 star for me but since I think it might be a problem on my part + 4.0 is a pretty suitable score for this novel in my opinion, I’ll be nice.So this novel is about a transmigrated guy in an angel’s body who, despite being a goody-2-shoes, pretends to be a bad person but but his acts cause misunderstandings which causes others to believe he’s a goody-2-shoes but for the wrong reasons and glaze him like crazy.I think you can tell part of the problem from this synopsis.That aside, I also have 2 major problems with this novel and it’s regarding the emotional moments and comedy.I talk about the latter first. The comedy in this novel is fairly average, perhaps slightly below average but I don’t particularly mind. What I DO particularly mind are the f*cking angel jokes. 40% of the jokes are in this category and GOD are they unbearable. They include others glazing him and going ‘wow, he’s so nice and angelic’ or ‘wow, he’s so nice he must be an angel’. These feel like the author expressing a complex of never having been praised as a child disguised as (bad) comedy. The other half of angel jokes consist of ‘leffrey ran a 100-meter dash, he’s truly the athletic angel’. ‘Leffrey ate a few candies, he’s truly a diabetic angel’, ‘Leffrey saved a puppy, he’s truly an animal-loving angel’. I very rarely make fun of others’ humor, but if you genuinely think those jokes are funny, you need to get checked up. It doesn’t help that this is more of a comedy novel than anything too.As for the emotional moments part, I don’t mind them. They’re pretty decent, average in my opinion. But the top reviewer seems to think they’re brilliant pieces of peak fiction. Now I’m not an emotional person, I rarely cry when reading books or watching movies but I usually at least feel something when I’m supposed to. Here, all I thought was ‘oh wow generic sob backstory’ or ‘wow generic self sacrifice’. I have no idea if this reviewer just cries at the slightest provocation or if I’ve become much more dead inside over the years but yeah, I feel like they’re nothing to cry over.Sorry if this review seems overly negative for a 4 star btw. It’s been a while since I read this novel and the negatives are much easier to remember than the positives.
