Review Detail of whatwhatintheworld in The Bloodline System
Review detail
For referenece, im currently on chapter 89 out of 730ish. I feel like I've read enough to get the general vibe of the novel. So far, I have a lot of mixed feelings about this novel. I'm going to list my pro's and con's and if I don't drop this I'll come back and update this review. Pros: - Unlike other system novels, the system doesn't baby the protagonist. He has to figure thing out himself for the most part, which is refreshing. - The bloodline powers are really unique so far and I really like how his initial power was upgraded to something useful but not incredibly op. Hopefully the power scaling for him isn't to crazy and he doesnt bulldoze through everything later on. Cons: - Everyone from his parents to his classmates are cartoonishly evil. It seems like 90% of the characters in this novel are there so protag has a reason to act edgy and think the worlds against him. For example, I can understand his younger brother acting like a brat and cursing him at every moment because hes a child but his mother doing the same makes no sense in my opinion. If author wanted a "cold/abusive" parent making them treat protag like air/ being extremely distant would make more sense. Instead his mother also reads like an annoying brat despite being an adult...Same thing with school mates. It would have been more believable if only the main 3 bullies in the beginning were after him and everyone else was just distant and cold. - The protag is way to edgy are certain points. For example, I have no idea why he treats FL horribly from the moment they meet. Its not like they have a bad history, he just seems to hate her for no real reason. I couldn't understand why he slams the door in her face on there second or third meeting...You think since everyone else is so aggressively mean to him he would appreciate who ever is nice to him. Author says its for characters development but an explanation on why hes so edgy in these types of situations is needed for this to even be remotely believable.

Personally, I would disagree. Depending on your perspective and position in life, you may not realise it, but - and keeping in mind this is literally an entirely different setting where power is everything - the different; the weak or less useful will inevitably be bullied. That's nature. I find it very normal; many people do find enjoyment out of pushing others down - to feel higher up and in more control of their life or position in society; it grants them several benefits. There isn't much reason not to - and adding onto this in this world is the fact that it can be done very naturally and easily. I don't mean to speak for the author, I'm merely sharing my unimportant opinion and my perspective through my own understanding on this. Not every mother and father dote on their children. If you think it's unreal, then you aren't aware of what some people are like in this world. Parents are slighter larger kids, that's something very real. All in all, I find that part of the story is alright; it makes sense to me and I find it very special how real it is. Maybe it's difficult to fully comprehend as it's an entirely different society, but in the end, it's a fictional story and it portrays a unique setting with exceptional skill. ... I actually stopped reading because I felt like the MC was too weak... *cough*
