Review Detail of Blue_Pizza in The Extra of The Lunerra

I wanted to wait a hundred chapters before writing a review, but whatever—this latest chapter (69) changed my mind. Even though this novel is a pretty generic genre, it is among what I consider the upper crust of its kin because the author takes time to flesh out the characters, set up events and build anticipation. IMO, the character design is the best part. Nothing that shouldn't be rushed is rushed, such as relationships. The character interactions and their internal thoughts are one of my favourite things about this novel, as well as the excellent writing quality. The only complaint I have is when POV switches to side characters but remains in 1st person without labelling whose POV it is. That took me a long time to get used to. Anyway, the initial chapters of mc's transmigration follow a tried-and-true pattern, but after pushing through them (which neither takes forever nor too quickly, keep up the good pacing) the story starts to blossom and set itself apart from others. MC makes some questionable yet understandable decisions which leads to character development and future conflict points. There is also sufficient foreshadowing and pleasant world-building which spices things up. The mental arc that MC is currently going through is very interesting, and I look forward to the potential paths in his future. There is also no shying away from emphasizing his internal conflict, which makes it all the more realistic and evokes empathy/sympathy. I won't spoil too much, but even though negative emotions aren't that easy to push to the back-burner, they aren't always the point of focus either. Even though I don't know what awaits in the future, I'm definitely staying for the characters because they are what makes me anticipate a new chapter every day (also author, when will the romance start?) :).
