Review Detail of EmptyTaoist in In the mind of an NPC
Review detail
Disappointing, i read all free chapters and i wonder if this is an experiment made by scientist to test what are the limits of what do we willing to endure while reading. Mc is dumb, by this im not saying the normal mc dumb but the infuriating type, he played 10 years of a game with 1/8 time extension wich should at least mean he got few decades of experience and knowledge how things work but he didn't even consider very obvious red flags that shout [Stay away weakling ] he even got a skill that should be a danger perception but no it doesn't even give clues if mc dumb enough to not even think about it. It's not like mc didn't have opportunity's other than that, im sure there was a lot of opportunity's better than the one that screwed him over, i don't rant anymore but the first 55 chapter doesn't worth my time. I don't know what author want to achieve with this but i didn't think it could bring in readers or enhance immersion, the snarky system remarks/sumb choices after another /the lack of consideration even after 6 months (the time mc spent in this world) is the reason i dropped this. The mc do not have any quality so far that interested me to stay for remaining story. And pitting mc against an endgame powerful entity is also very cliche that most likely could only be solved with marry sue plot armor with how dumb mc is.

All of that would happen later, as I said before. He was the nonsensical side character. he was not a master class at things. He was someone carried by his brother. In other stories he will be the incapable side character that gets ignored. But his flaws are important part of his psyche. As this is the story about a guy in a nonsensical situation and how he deals with the cards he was dealt with. Without the cheat of multiple lives, standing out has its own consequences. BTW, give it a try. There is a reason for why I introduced it, this in general is not a regular level up NPC story. there is massive power creeps among characters and even enemies. And its more about the world than the MC. It doesn't hurt to read a few more chapters... pretty please.
I read overgeard and dropped it amd finally read it the whole and find the character development very fullfiling but the snarky system remark are very very repulsive for me. I read many novels and all of them with snarky systems was a disappointment and i kinda have prejudice against snarky systems now. But maybe i give it a try later and reread the previous chapters too. Im impressed how much patience you have at writing an annoying side characters as your mc. It must be unique experience rereading your work. I enjoyed almost everything expect the mc in later chapters and the snarky system amd the eldritch possession. The bomb stuff wasn't anything annoying, but the mc lack of foresight and the introduction of other people who got isekaid feelt useless to the story at least to me. The power system is interesting, and was mainly the reasons i stayed even though mc choices and bad luck irritated me.
