~CH. 65 The score should actually be a bit higher but the variables are equally distributed, I should give it 4.5. It is a great story, but I didnt see any Kingdom building except a bit from the prince. If you look for a slow pacing adventure (as much as I can tell now), it is good. The MC is... what can I say, dont really reflect his experiences as someone who lived for 364 reincarnations. The stutter and undeciveness inbetween is really more or less showing someone who had one life time and that is it, and as such I see him. The side characters are fine. World building too etc. What is really really annoying is the really slow pacing, I mean reaaaaaally slow. If you like reading 5 or so chapters about how they fight for one night, be my guest but I can not or how they sit and talk... And I already jumped multiple chapters because it is soooo slow. I can see for what it is and as such, I greatly appreciate it but nothing for me and there is almost no Kingdom building.
Love reincarnation and kingdom building novel....... ๐โค๏ธ๐๐โฅ๏ธ๐โค๏ธ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โค๏ธ๐๐โค๏ธ๐๐๐๐โค๏ธโค๏ธ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ๐๐๐โฅ๏ธ๐โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ๐๐๐โค๏ธโค๏ธ๐๐โค๏ธโค๏ธ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โฅ๏ธ๐๐โค๏ธ๐๐โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
It's quite interesting world, full of potential that makes you want to keep with the book till the end to see what it will show you along the way, The backstory of the MC seems epic, the world is vibrant and alive, there is the feeling of expectation for the start of this new journey... But then the story as it unravels seems to lose steam, characters that were very detailed start to have contradictions with their previous attitudes without much explanation, the pacing starts to slow down to the point where there are more insignificant details about actions like walking through a room or getting down from a carriage then from more relevant details (The issue is not the existence of such moments just the frequency of such descriptions affecting the narrative), the history starts to be a struggle to read after seeing the MC be near helpless at anything even if the whole premise, (Title of the novel) which is, him being borderline impossible to surprise because of his experience, having a way to do things that other normies would not be able to do or all that being almost completely inexistent for as far as I read so far. There is not a semblance of Kingdom Building so far, there is only the characters doing stupid decisions, villains being villainous while the rest cry, the helplessness in the face of challenges makes it so frustrating to read, it's like MC is a scared little child who is used as a punching bag just for sake of trying to not exaggerate his abilities (Which sounds counterproductive considering the title of the novel). It pains to say that it becomes gruelling to read endless struggle without the gratification or pleasure of seeing something going right due to MCs actions, seeing every moment being one of torment and anxiety is not good for my heart... My patience has been wore thin by the fact that most side characters have had a bigger spotlight then the MC and that their decisions are also mirred with endless inconsistencies, sudden weaknesses that didn't exist or simple illogical behavior that does not correspond with what was shown previously.
The writing quality is decent. The story is alright and although it can be a bit rough sometimes it's good enough. World background the world is fleshed out and interesting. However the character design is abysmal mainly because the characters don't act in line with the backstory's and backgrounds they've been given. The MC for example has reincarnated over 300 times and is still naรฏve with a hero complex, doesn't make calculated decisions and has difficulties lying. For someone whose lived over 300 lives this makes no sense. The next character I have an issue with is Lord Augustus Prestonheim mainly because in chapter 6 instead of telling the MC of him joining him he asks him to join him which as the MC is enslaved makes no sense. Also this is a random point but a dwarf makes an improvised trebuchet out of logs and linin during a fight scene early on and that made no sense (it was made way to quick). All in all has a lot of potential but unfortunately inconsistent characters.
