Review Detail of Babar in Release That Witch

“Release That Witch” is a novel that reveals the best and worst about sites like Qidian. It’s a story in which even the minor characters are well developed and have their own backgrounds, thoughts and lives. Minor characters are developed as believable and full characters. The world is built with a rich history and deep foundations for the future stories. It’s enjoyable and different due to the complexities of the stories and progress throughout the novel. If you like good quality stories it is easily one of the very best online reads. However, in many ways that strength is also the weakness of Release That Witch. It is a harder read than the average light novels on here, precisely because of that depth. I’m writing this as the highest praise. The average stories on Qidian are very light, single plot, vacuous and incoherent stories. Release That Witch doesn’t fit that because in many ways it isn’t a light novel... it deserves a higher accolade than just being categorised with the average tropes. It is probably the one story that I find waiting until several days of updates are available precisely because it is a deeper read and, again, doesn’t really fit the usual light novel approach. Most of the light novels don’t really have much developmentand it wouldn’t matter if you missed a few chapters. They tend to be cyclical, repetitive and formulaic. The approach is more like a ‘Soap Opera’ or even an old school TV series method of telling a story - i.e. tell a small story in a limited context and everything is still the same at the end. Release That Witch requires more effort to read and think about. Again, I write that as the highest compliment. The story is absolutely one of the best on Qidian. If you only like stories with one MC who becomes OP and in a normal situationwould be comparable to a bully and a monster - then this story isn’t for you... go read one of the 2 star stories. If you want to read something that is a bit different and a bit more interesting than that(!)... then try this.
