Review Detail of Poka in The Dark Blood Age
Review detail
This Story is way to underrated in my personal opinion. The Story is deep and complex, the world backround the same, but hes always the same startingpoint (until around ch 800). When u wanna nitpick about the story itself, it is that alle the "human" fall very fast into Depravity, insanity etc. Now about the MC: Well the MC is actually a pretty nice guy but very cautious and selfish. But with every Setback, and trap he gets in he gets colder and more ruthless. But here is the point which makes the story and the MC very likable or hateable for the readers. Because the MC just doesnt learn... He gets his obsession that he is Human and when every Human falls into depravity he holds himself as "law abiding" "ordinary" etc And still he doesnt learn... He still is dumb enough to get in avery fkin trap, helps ppl that betray him later etc. And he gets more cold and ruthless- And he still doesnt learn... And the story more or less repeats itself how MC does his thinks, except that he gets more cold and ruthless, and he ignores more plight of others, but becaus of that he gets trampled over and over again. You might think now, that such a stupid MC is not worth reading over. And Yes you are "half right". The Ingenuity of the whole story is about to find out why such idiot was chosen, trapped, betrayed over and over again. Why does he stay that stupidly stubborn about staying "human" when he destroy one life after another, or later city after city. In my Eyes, the story is about how to strip his layers of Hope, humanity, emotions, confidence in such a way that he doesnt get, that his tsundere hero charakter is getting reversed step by step! But his naive and stupid obsessions are actually the one point that lets him stay as (anti)hero charakter without him noticing. the question now is, was he because of that chosen or was that unplanned and thats why no one can really defeat him^^ This story is fun because exactly that, it seems every step the mc does is planned, even his wins and loses, but is it really?^^ I dont know and thats why i keep reading

That's an interesting review you got there. This story is a very unique one indeed; however, despite that, you get a lot of points right, there are some contradicting details that I usually see people bring up when reviewing this book. The author went out of his way to describe our MC as a very cautious man, which goes again most people's conclusion when seeing him running into traps and plots. The majority of folks tend to only look at the result, which is our MC getting caught in a lot of traps, plots, and dangers, and come to the conclusion that he is just an idiot with personal fighting capability slightly above other humans. Then what's the point of building him up as a cautious man in the first place? Perhaps the author intends that these traps and plots are not supposed to be avoidable, they had been weaved and prepared for eons, by beings who qualified as all-knowing eldritch gods, prepared for a mere young human mortal that is just slightly stronger than its kind. The traps and plots form something similar to a web of destiny, which can easily ensnare and torture the MC, no matter how smart or capable he is. Being cold and heartless can only help him minimize the pain from getting targeted by all these plans and setups. And yes, our MC clinging to his humanity will be revelant later. In order to avoid spoil, I will just say that its a coping mechanism to slowing down his identity death.
