Novel: The Impossible Fate That Leads To A God Of A New World
Reviewer: ChubbyLiv
I wrote it a long time ago 2020/2021, I think. Because the author is from Webnovel, he might have rewrote some things a few times and increased the quality already.
Alright, when an author tries to portray a genius MC who suffered a lot, it has to be done well for me to like it. The type of intellectuals I dislike the most are the ones who are constantly bored; it often makes it hard for me to root for an apathetic person. So I hoped that he's not one of them.
As far as I've read, there is a young man who somehow has a more special body compared to others. So maybe the author meant his fighting skills as I questioned his intellect a few times.
*Spoilers below, read at your own risk!*
- He said that a bust of a D cup girl measures to 70cm. (I laughed so hard at this one as he was stone-cold serious about it, and the girl with D cups was baffled at his geniusness.)
- He started school against his will, but didn't have a need to do some research on it? (The person he hates the most is the person who gave him the backdoor, the principal, the one with the highest authority.)
A problem with a first-person narrative is that we can read his thoughts. (They make him sound like a nice, teenage boy that treats women with respect. Which is a plus, but I could barely notice any calculativness, wittiness, etc.)
The council president, he knows nothing about him. The vice president, he knows nothing about her. But he says that he is good at reading other's body language. So let us see. This horny girl (Vice President) started to approach him out of nowhere.
What girl approach you sexually unless she is thirsty for some D or she wants something? What we all know is, it's never something good. But he only saw her as a spoiled princess that comes from a high ranked family. He had a very shallow view of her. (But what came to me was, high ranking family = schemes, schemes, schemes= danger, danger.)
He wasn't locked up in a cave without any human interaction, so I was a bit disappointed when after an hour of knowing each other, he bowed down before her in respect. (He really meant it; he was in constant mindblown and shock whenever she spoke a sentence. If you read his thoughts, you'd know what I mean.) -> He started to see her as a part of his closest people almost immediately. Like what? 🤯
- He compares himself to the FL, who is regarded as a monster. Though she still has many men going after her due to her beauty. (The FL is hella op, cheat like existence, according to him.) Sometimes he even sees herself in her, saying how she had to go through great suffering and torture to end up like that. (It has to do something with his dark past, I guess.) I dunno, I see them as two exact opposites who maybe share some past together.
- His name is Lucifer, such a big name for a gullible guy like MC. Maybe the author is preparing some major character development. But yeah, he has a long way to go to match a man like Lucifer.
- I had a huge problem with info dumbs right in the middle of combat! Like no, don't slap me with a half of a chapter of history when I'm trying to get invested in a fight. Please, next time, place info dumbs before a fight or after it. Thanks. 👌
- His fight with holograms to evaluate his rank didn't impress me. It was so anticlimactic that my hype was destroyed in a matter of seconds. (I'm not spoiling his rank. It's just the way he gained that rank, only second to FL...sight...
So many possibilities, but he stuck to one exhausting tactic even after one thousand tries (mind me, he even copied some FL's moves. It was nothing innovative or brilliant (I'm sure other readers could come up with better ideas) he didn't even try to come up with something more efficient, less time consuming, or cool, or to make others cough blood from anger.)
- FL's personality... she's like those ice-cold male leads in romance novels. Don't touch them, don't look at them, don't speak to them, unless you're the MC.
- Female side characters: They are here; each has her unique personality. Too unique and quirky for my taste. I wanted the MC to punch the vice president a few times for showing him no basic human respect.
My final thoughts:
So far (ch.7), the MC is a type that goes with the flow; he doesn't want to show his full strength or attention. Instead of his reactions to girls, I'd appreciate seeing him doing something more meaningful as I had yet to know his goals, aspirations, opinions, likes, dislikes, hobbies, etc.
