Series Cancelled on a Lackluster Note

by Legatosmash

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

This series has some very good things and some very disappointing things about it. The protagonist's inexplicable personality shift and his patronizing treatment of women are big issues in the negative column. The series calls itself out at one point for the fact that the majority of the friends of the protagonist are women, but doesn't take the opportunity to address the problematic perspectives that the protagonist has. It's not the most misogynistic perspective by any stretch of the imagination and was still ultimately readable in my opinion, but I could see some being a bit put off by it. The other major problem is that the series got cancelled and the ending is not really an ending as a result. As of now, 80 chapters is the complete work.

The redeeming things about this series have more to do with the fact that it focuses on character development, platonic relationships (although I am a fan of romance, none materializes in this series), and subterfuge. The stakes are sufficiently high to drive the action in a satisfying way, but time is taken to flesh out who many of the characters are such that the world feels robustly populated. I just wish that the series could continue so we could see the relationships and characters develop further.

the irony

in universe the MC is a bad writer.
the real writer is also bad.

each chapter is just a bore.

I also really hate this "he was the author of the world he's in." type shit. they always use the "I didn't write this character. what the fuck am I supposed to do?" and the "things are deviating from the main story." like, who cares? that information is useless because we as the audience don't know the original story. Just write a story with a good fantasy world. and not have it be another garbage isekai.

Inconsistent power fantasy

by tigerstar186

Rating: 4.0 / 10.0

The main character is a prideful asshole and escalates situations constantly for no reason. I don't get why he is this way, he was a failing author in his past life and he's (supposedly) desperately trying to survive here and has no cheat powers. So why does he act like hot shit, pick fights, and even actively bully other characters? The narrative rewards him for it, too. Every single situation turns out in benefit of him. Everyone who is narratively important likes him. Characters will act of character and the narrative bends around his every action. It's a poorly written power fantasy that pretends it's smart by not explicitly sayings it's power fantasy schlock.

He also treats women like utter shit, constantly infantilising them and harassing them yet literally every single female character is attracted to him regardless of their relationship and how he acts to them.

Yea it was interesting until he goes to school and start treating the hot sempai like a whore just because she like him and tries to be affectionate to him, it felt like the author is female and hate girl how are HOT!, loving, kind and caring, no male in the world how is single will have entire monologue about a girl being suck a slut for giving him a hug and telling him she like him, context people she is super nice, no single men or lesbian will ever do that'

you may not enjoy the first chapters as much as i did but once he goes to the school the level goes up a notch !! the mc is amazing without being op (for now) and the story seems to give a bigger focus on romance than other fantasy manhwas with male protagonist which is refreshing 🙂

Promising but still early

Rating: 9.5 / 10.0

It's only got 23 chapters as of now and it's really promising. I have to disagree with AM_Woody's opinion that it started off bad. The MC is thrown into an endgame situation as his story starts off with the hero fighting the Demon King/Lord in the Demon King's Castle, in a world that was created from one of his novels, the person he reincarnated as isn't OP like you'll see in many Isekai manga/manhwa and thus needs to use his brain to avoid be killed in what seemed to be a harmless slice of life academy novel.

Bad start but picks up

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

The start is honestly pretty bad. The MC is passive and completely different in character to later on. It really does pick up once they start in the school tho.
