Real Waifu Catalog: Warcraft Beta Tester

Reveal Spoiler

your work's great and i can see the effort you put into it It does suffer from the same problems other WOW fics do... world's too big too many aspects to keep track of and you easily get lost in the details. That's the main problem it feels like you put too much focus on obscure things/ characters/quests... hope this helps

Review Title: Could've Been Great, But the Mind Control Ruins It Rating: 2/5 I really wanted to like this story. The premise is strong: a beta tester gets dropped into a fantasy version of Warcraft, complete with a power system, missions, and the chance to build something unique. That alone has a lot of potential. But the way the harem is handled, especially the use of mind control, really takes the heart out of it. The Problem Isn’t the Harem, It’s How It Happens Harem stories can be fun. Watching a character earn loyalty or affection, or rise through the ranks by being clever or powerful, can make for a satisfying arc. But in this story, the main character doesn’t win anyone over. He uses magical amulets that force women to love him, instantly and without choice. That kind of setup removes all emotional weight from the relationships. There’s no development, no challenge, no real connection. It’s just flipped like a switch, and suddenly a character is in love. That doesn’t feel romantic or earned. It feels hollow. This Could Have Been So Much More There are moments where the story almost tries to dig deeper. In Chapter 28, the main character starts to realize that he might not feel good about how things are going. That could have led to a turning point or some real growth, but instead it gets brushed aside. The story keeps falling back on the same mind-control mechanic, and because of that, the main character doesn’t really change. That’s what made this disappointing. The world is interesting. The system makes sense. There’s real opportunity here for the MC to rise through his own efforts, or build relationships that mean something. But that opportunity keeps getting skipped over. Message to the Author If you’re reading this, I’m not saying this to hate. You’ve got a good imagination and a solid structure here. But the story would be so much stronger if the characters had real agency. If the MC had to earn their love, or even just build real trust, it would make everything feel more genuine. As it stands now, it feels like no one truly chooses to be with him — and that makes it hard to care. There’s still a great story here, if you're willing to let the characters act with their own free will. That’s what would take this from just another harem power trip to something memorable and worth following. I used ChatGPT to help me write this.

It’s crazy that there’s 300 plus chapters and yet it’s all garbage because of the ntr before chapter 30

The story is actually much better than expected.
