Little Monster, You are on the Wrong Set! Chapter -- Discussion

WARNING: pe*ophilia, Age gap between MC and ML

Horror: I really liked it. The descriptions of the biological horror, fears of the supernatural, and psychology of human darkness made me have high hopes for this story.

The horror makes me really WANT to like this story.

I guess you could say the true horror was the pe*ophilia in this story, especially the easter egg. Hahaha

Romance: Sus age gap, pe*ophile romance between MC and ML. The whole "But they are actually thousands of years old in a child body and they just grew up instantly!" song and dance we see in anime especially.

I liked ML's character at first but with each chapter he just devolves into a paranoid Gollum. I despise him at the very end of the story.

ML also gets instant upgrade and it's explained as his luck of being an elite except author doesn't emphasize his luck during his initial attributes.

Spoiler

The instant upgrade might also be explained by the fact that MC likes him and MC is the super intelligence created by the one who made the infinite horror world and fake outer and inner worlds. MC might have subconsciously given ML god tier luck.

I really wish main couple relationship didn't exist and it was child raising all around.

I liked side couple relationship a lot more. They had more of a balanced relationship.

There were times I wished Qiu Nuo was the MC just cuz he had way more believable reactions to the horror around them. While I did sign up for some cute creature vs infinite horror action, it got tiring after awhile especially with constant and blatant annoying pe*ophilia from ML in my face.

I guess the difference between the beginning chapters and later chapters is that we can see MC struggling with the enemy and thinking of ways to fight and outsmart each enemy, which I really liked. After some powerups he's pretty much the mood lightener or comic relief, which got annoying.

Plot: I feel like the author changed it halfway, but maybe they just needed to guide the audience toward the conclusion more. Throw more clues in.

Spoiler

It starts out with the abyss and sci-fi explanations for MC. Then in in the end it becomes like the matrix where everyone is actually in pods dreaming about the outer world and the infinite horror world. MC is actually a computer program and not a sci-fi monster, that to me is the major thing that feels like the author changed things halfway because there's such a gap.

The dream has infinite horror because the Scientist felt that it would give people more vitality and make the dream more realistic. Ok, sure author. People usually can't tell they are dreaming till they wake up. You can make countermeasures for people that wake up. If you really wanted to make the story, infinite horror is actually virtual reality, you could have set it so that people do make it out of the infinite horror but they never know that they are dreaming. Instead you write that S ranked people die from pollution, making a lot of things hopeless.

I get that the MC is supposed to be the final hope for a hopeless world, but the process to getting there should be more believable. In all honesty the Scientist could have soloed the story plot if he was the one that made everyone dream. The author just gave him negative IQ plot pills.

I will say there is a part where MC is absorbing power from the skill fragments, which are basically computer chips. This was probably the clue in that he's a program but there is so little world building or explanations about that ability you could chalk it up to other strange abilities that the MC has which will probably get explained later but it never does.
