Review Detail of John_Kula in Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

I'm writing this review as of chapter 212. I am an avid reader of PancakesWitch's novels and I can say that this is also another great addition to the lineup that is definitely worth reading! If that's all you needed to know, you can just stop reading now. But, I shall continue a bit more in depth with some comments and criticisms. I'll start with the positives. I like that training is where the MC gains a large amount of his power rather than through just grinding exp to level due to exp requirements to level being so high for him as well as his circumstances. I also like that he's not some weeb from Earth that is hyped to get a system like most others would be. He actually is so ancient that he finds the system and it's game-like elements kind of childish and bothersome. He also achieved his power in his past life without a system so he isn't even relying on it all that much. It's just a little bonus thing to him. Now for the negatives. The curses he gets that make him need 100X more exp to level, 100X more proficiency to gain and level skills, makes it so that his growth is slower, but each level gives more than it would for anyone else. While this is a fair tradeoff, from a narrative perspective, it means that he is growing slower than most other protagonists would. I don't dislike that inherently, it's just something you have to get used to. It's action packed while still feeling somewhat slower paced. He also doesn't get many skills as a result of the curses. I think the idea is for him to gradually grow up over the course of years to gain more power. That does seem like the direction the story is going, especially since it would be very weird for an 8 year old to have a legitimate harem. He is gaining skills to gain more exp and with time he will probably gain more opportunities to gain exp. So hopefully, the story will pick up in pace at that point. Until then, I'm quite enjoying this!
