I'm not liking the way the tone of this novel is going. Go back and re-read the first three chapters, where the MC experienced the World for how dark it can be. What kind of tone the author was setting. Now come back to this arc where everyone is smiling and cooperating and nothing is going wrong. Next, read chapter -2, the one where the author makes fun of MC's relying on plot armor to save the day. Now notice how when things started going tits up during the test, a teacher appeared and saved the day, giving the heroes the answer to their problems right when they needed it. đ I fell in love with this novel for its cynical, gritty realism but it's changed 180° since the author wanted to go premium. People said it might happen and sadly it did.
I feel like youâre forgetting the fact that he knows heâs being watched by the school and that the magic beasts are in on it. Yes he was panicked but not because he was afraid of dying but because he was afraid of failing. That doesnât warrant the use of playing all of his cards, his character up to now has shown that heâd rather look unable rather than show everyone what he can do. The reader was the only one who knows that the spiders were actually planning to kill them. As for the doom and gloom of the novel originally, it was already stated that he wants to work on his people skills. He just wants to be able to put up a fake smile without people thinking he wants them to die (even if thatâs exactly what he is thinking). He has plans but he actually needs to treat people like people in order to attain his goals. Personally I find that you think the book was going to be like the first chapters to be rather short sighted. No change in dynamic tends to be uninteresting and sometimes down right boring. At least this way the emotion can take a plunge if warranted that way we experience the highest highs and the lowest lows from the author.
I'm talking about in the Meta. As us, the Author and the reader perceive it. During the second day of training you had the MC get punished for going all out with the reasoning "You wont learn anything that way." This arc you have the MC not allowed to go all out, so I as a reader took it as you once again saying "He should be learning something from this experience." "What he should be learning" appears to be to be less cynical, more sociable and to better think on his feet when he finds himself in situations where he cant use his OP abilities. And all three of those things are the exact *Opposite* reasons I love Lith. Like I said, reading the first 50 chapters where Lith is a snarky, genre savvy Murder Hobo was a breath of fresh air after all the bland generic protagonists who just warp their personalities to whatever the plot demands of them. But now, since the start of the School Arc, Lith has stifled himself so much he's forgetting what has kept him alive for this long, and what has kept him interesting as a character for so long. He's trying to maintain his cover so much that he's more fake then real at this point and reading about such a fake character isn't as fun as reading about the Leylin's little brother I've come to love.
Wow it seens certain people..... Doont know how to adapt to online society either and still need to rebuff and put down an author soley because they dont like the way someone elses story is being made and want it to satify their own personal interest. Sorry but now. Business is business. If you love it then great your a fan amd can enjoy it and disagree with plot inaccuracies or grammar or j9kes or ideas or whatever, but once you complain and piss and moan about the entierty of the overarching narrative and stylistic choices of a novel then just drop it. If you want something your own greedy way write it yourself. I love it still with all the wittyness evem tho its not perfect. But thats just how stories are. Its heartbreaking for it to leave your hype zone but not something to outright smash or defame as anything bad just because it exists. Responding to comments and even comments of comments to try to reactivly defend a position because of a persecution complex jist makes this worse for all of us. Cheers everyone and enjoy my lovely little midnight rant :)
I don't get why so many people hate Lith changing.. I mean, ever heared about character development? Yes, he needs to hold back quite a bit, to the point where it's very strange how so many people don't know about real magic. However, what I find the most strange is the fact that Lith should be the most proficient with wind magic given the fact that he used it daily to move and clean in a wide area. So it doesn't make sense that he has no clue about aoe magic vs small critters
Honestly I donât feel the story has changed that drastically heck if anything lith has been one of the most human characters Iâve read heâs so cynical and misanthropic its a nice change of pace. But thatâs not his only setting heâs still those things but now he has layers and understands he still needs comply with how the world works somewhat with teamwork so he plays âniceâ and behaves for now. I genuinely love this novel and think itâs going in a positive way his development as a person has improved drastically considering the beginning of the chapter.
