I Am The Heroine's Father: The Cannon Fodder's Ascent
I am going to die.
That’s how the game goes.
The less I know, the better—a hardcore otome game where the tragic villain, Johan Von Matilda, is fated to fall by his own daughter’s sword.
A mere stepping stone for the protagonist to win the main heroine’s heart.
And now? I’m him.
“…Are you kidding me? I won’t let my daughter become a simp with no personality!”
The problem is, I am just a healer with money and influence; my daughter hates me and is obsessed with him.
The protagonist is obviously the one with unlimited plot armor. Blessed with Schrodinger’s Cat—an overpowered skill that makes him literally unkillable.
Ding!

“...WTF!!”
Yet a devious grin appeared on his face.
This time, he will decide the ending, no matter what.
“What?”
“She’s still alive?”
“…Wait. This isn’t how it was in the game. Why is the protagonist… changing?”
[Warning: Even though at face it appears like any normal webnovel, I will warn ya there are many uncomfortable things and strong topics, grimdark stuff, and tragedy, more like Reverbed Inanity, but with dark humor, not everyone can read it with straight face, so be prepared, but I think even if you never read books like this, you will like this, cause it's done in a pretty fresh way.]

Stand proud Puff, You can cook! Yes I am glazing myself, but who wouldn’t? Schedule is 14 chapters/week, even more on a good day. Anyways if got any questions about the book, feel free to ask here :-) And also, check my other book To you: After the End
This is the first 5* review I’ve left and written a review for a new author. [For tldr, Author can cook! Fantastic novel] So let’s talk about it! Writing Quality: The author puts great attention to detail with proper spelling, grammar, and stays in active voice. The layout makes it easy to read and the italics for thoughts makes it very easy to understand who is thinking. There aren’t ups and downs, to clarify: there aren’t any one off chapters that ignore spelling and grammar. [Also writing quality] Pacing: Not too slow, not too fast, it’s just right. It starts out very strong and improves as the chapters go on. Chapters aren’t too short and aren’t too long. They’re just right so the reader doesn’t lose interest. Updating Sustainability: Does very well. Consistent, with good author thoughts at the end of chapters that engage the readers. Story development: Author does well setting up the new world in the opening chapter, providing a clear, fluid transition from explaining the game, his frustrations with life, while feeling connected to Johan of the game. Even though it’s one chapter, it doesn’t feel rushed getting into the new world and story. Character Design: MC: Likeable and relatable. So many people, including myself, have a favorite game [or a few] we repeatedly play and try to get 100% completion or in James’ case, he wants Johan to live. He admits he feels a connection to him. Author introduces several characters flawlessly, without convoluting the story with overwhelming descriptions. They’re done fluidly, making you understand and visualize the characters and their thoughts and actions. The POV and flow of the MCs development is very well done and the system he possesses isn’t overwhelming, but very original and unique. World Design: Unique world, unique time period choice [in a good way] and after finishing Arc 1, I’m looking forward to the expansion of the world the Author designed. Well done Puff!
Actually super written, you feel the very characters emotion, a soulless chair's movement, time moving between conversations. It has many jabs at common troupes and cliches. However, the MC is the sauce. He is so fun and reminds of my fav character from Honkai Star Rail. Aventurine.
The novel had a good premise but the author failed to capitalise it well. Pros 1) Good theme cons 1) Author made the novel way too complex even from the beginning. You could have gradually introduced plot points rather than abruptly introducing them all together . 2) The MC fails to capitalise on his cheats properly . ( His supposedly high intelligence stat is of no use i suppose). He is thus forced into various circumstances outside of his control and is made to put his life in danger 3) You could have made a classy elegant villain. But all you could make was this mass of jumbled emotions who gets his life threatened each and every time. The supposedly high and mighty noble main character with super powerful sidekick is made to flee from a court trial made to persecute another character ??????
I'll selfishly give you 100% for everything after all your book is the best bro!! keep the good work up!! 😀[img=update]
I'm not sure what to compliment or criticize, everything seems so-so by far. However, the gambling system seems to be well thought-out, I wonder how it is going to be revealed after like 10 chapters in basically.
wow amazing 👍 it's an amazing book🥰 I love it! keep the good work up. been Soo long i read something that makes me happy 🥰
I've been enjoying reading this recently. It's a quite well made novel that steers on the darker side (nothing too aggregating dw). The author updates it regularly and is pretty active with the comments (Hi if your reading this) Overall, been pretty fun and hope he continues with this and gets some success with this :)
Will stock the chapters of this novel for about hundred of chapters. Though personally I love option 3 and 5 in the Sypnosis.😆😅😂🤣I would want to know how the story will unfold if he do those.. (Made this review before even reading chapter 1, so my ratings might change after I start reading)
Damm I love the system already, and it’s just so freaking wholesome, loved the interaction with Selene, NEED MORE CHAPTERS!! Good writing quality!
beautiful storyline...night and day... compared to my Novel 🥹🫠
Stand proud son, you can cook.(fetch me a beer later)
