To Burris The Spellcaster And His Family Dependent Chapter -- Discussion

This is a great comedy novel featuring a unique couple. It's not comedy in the raucous, rolling-on-the-floor kind of way, but rather in an amusing, light-hearted manner.

The MC is quite innocent and dense but not in the ignorant way. Rather, he is simply too analytical and unable to understand issues of the heart. This is not at all helped by ML's quirky and eccentric personality. ML is really great. Despite being an undead demigod, he is not tyrannical, possessive, or cruel. Instead, he is affable, straight forward, and a total spazz. He can be serious when he wants to be, but is generally a cheerful and romantic jokester who is easily distracted by anything new or exciting. Additionally, his terrible metaphors never cease to amaze.

Like when he likened concentrated poisons in a spread out area compared to a dense area like "peeing in a river compared to peeing in a bucket."

It is funny how he reads tons of romance novels and plays out his own romantic delusions with MC. Like when he tried to be a knight in shining armor and told MC close his eyes and not to be afraid of corpses... except MC wasn't fazed at all as he's seen thousands of corpses before. His antics always fail, but he still tries regardless.

It is also really cute how he is prone to baiting MC into asking him questions, just so he can put on his own soliloquys. He gets all "If you're not going to ask me then don't ask me... I said don't ask me... You're really not going to ask me? You want to know, right? Right? You want to ask, I know you do." *expectant begging eyes* Then rambles on for ages once MC finally gives him and asks.

He is so terribly frank with his thoughts that MC even thinks that, "every time he heard the Skeleton King talk like this, he had the illusion of seeing someone running naked in the streets." Bwahaha.

Not to mention, the world building is great and the circumstances are interesting. Highly recommended for a different western fantasy-type BL novel.
