Trash of the Count’s Family

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel.

[The Birth of a Hero].

[The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent.

I became a part of that novel as the tr*sh of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located.

The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, is destroyed by assassins.

The bigger problem is the fact that this s*upid tr*sh who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp.

“…This is going to be a headache.”

I feel like something serious has happened to me.

But it was worth trying to make this my new life.

For me it was 5 star story, but I think that it should be ended with less than 250 chapters. Why? Because it's a good story in general, a lot of good charecters, battle scenes, sectets... But I feel it's cycled, he goes somewhere -> battles enemies -> captures his enemies -> gets some knowlege about enemies -> rest abit -> again same route. Not only story is repetitive, but also dialogs and fights. So at some point is just boring to read this...

I dont like White Star at all, as an main enemy, he is strong yet weak and except killing dragons he did nothing for 1000 years? He can beat strongest peoples in continent so easily, but he is so useless? I dont like this reincortation things and the goal to destroy White Star's soul, I predict that they will just find a way and use it, nothing interesting just wasting a time.

I think it's better to wait for this story to end, then check reviews, if reviews are good then you can read it, if not, better dont read. <<less

Immediately getting to the point, this is my absolute favorite novel.

I'm a bookworm. I've read and re-read a lot of novels that I love. Proper classics like Tolkien's work and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, older standbys like Artemis Fowl, Harry Potter, R.L. Stine's Fear Street and L.J. Smith's Circle series, and newer books, like Rick Riordan's multi-series universe. Horror, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, I like it all as long as it's written well. I'll even read Romance if there's some comedy in there, like Julia Quinn's work has.

My favorite types... more>> of stories are those where the characters, both main and side, develop and grow not just physically or strength-wise, but emotionally, feeling as if they were real people. Getting attached to characters like that and watching them grow before your eyes is a genuine pleasure.

I don't want to spoil anything. BUT. I will say the 'misunderstandings' tag and 'unreliable narrator' tag are there for a reason, and the reason becomes more and more glorious the further you read. I will also say that there are no unnecessary parts, no filler. If anyone reviewing said that, they probably have attention issues or are looking for a quick read, which this is not. If something seemingly small is mentioned in passing, it's very likely it will be brought up again a couple HUNDRED chapters later and make you freak out wondering if and how the author planned all this out. Chapter 1 had something negligible written in it that we forgot about. Around Chapter 390-ish, we got the punchline. If there's a seemingly small side-quest type deal, I guarantee you something congruent to the plot is coming out of it, and not in a deus-ex-machina kind of way. Also, side characters don't get shelved. No matter how small they are, even a certain inn-keeper's grandson that seemed to make a short passing appearance, may come back in a big way a long way down the road.

Last thing I'll say is that Cale Henituse, no, Kim Rok Soo is my absolute favorite character. The guy really is a weakling, and a poor soul who's only known loss, and his reaction to the loss he faced even before the story began is nothing short of inspirational. Don't let his own unreliable narration of himself affect you in the first few chapters, he's not just a snarky A-hole out for himself like he's saying, and you'll quickly enough find that out just by reading his actions. Also. He's an outright liar. He definitely loves cats, no matter what he says.

Last-last thing. There's no romance tag for a reason. No meaningless harem here, no cardboard cutout 'perfect girl' who instantly falls for the protagonist's charms. And we quite like it that way. Though actually, quite a few men and women (and other species) do fall for him, but not romantically. It's a friendship harem!

This is a wonderful, epic, heartwarming, and often hilarious story about a person who just wants to live quietly for once in his life being forced by things completely IN his control to work hard (for who can really live quietly if there's no world peace?), gain seemingly impossible (and troublesome) friendships unintentionally, and face and beat down immeasurable despair.

Highly recommend pacing yourself reading this an arc at a time over the course of a few weeks to let it sink in slowly, preferably while snacking on a slice of apple pie and a tall glass of iced lemonade, or hot lemon tea, depending on the season. <<less

I loveeeee it

Its not typical common story of transportation into novel (tbh, I i prefer female lead than male). But I like how MC 'behave', he so so tsundere type (lmao). I like the progress with almost never ending problem.

MC not OP from the beginning, he gain his power step by step. I like how twisted our MC. From villain role he try to avoid bad situation, instead he change the story. And after change it his mindsetup try to make heroes and CS to meetup, but he change the... more>> story further.

Its so so fun to read, I binge read it and still starve for more chapters.

A good story that you wont bored from chapter 1 till the latest <<less

Completely underrated Novel at 4.3/5.

This novel should be at 4.9/5 for how great the writer is.

I'm too lazy to write a review so I'll just steal someone's comment.

I can't believe it, this story started out as a somewhat entertaining misunderstanding filled comedy for me and probably many others.

The author managed to turn it into something so much more than that through great planning and writing.

This story manages to have lots of comedy, interesting politics, crazy plot twists, ridiculous yet believable misunderstandings, a badass MC (In his on way), super adorable characters (Raon), great conversations, and some of the best action scenes.

On top of that, it's pretty fun trying to predict what the teasers have to do with the chapter.

Really goes to show you that you don't need a world ending plot creating false tension to make a story interesting, just a great writer (+translation team).

It was an interesting read and I'll probably still read it, however; I think there's just too many people causing it to have characters that are quite underdeveloped. It also doesn't make sense why the characters just start following him for seemingly no reason and if there is a reason it doesn't feel real enough. Surprisingly the plot is quite interesting and fleshed our in my opinion, though the pacing is a little awkward with all these random time skips. Overall it was an interesting read.

Update: Wow it's been awhile... more>> since I read this but I think this negative review of mine was due to not understanding the plot as well as I thought I did. The manwha has been phenomenal and the characters are most definitely well done though it may just be due to a change in medium. Still an interesting read! <<less

Super super awesome. It's my favorite for the year 2019!!! The MC is so cooollll.. he is not OP, it's not boring and funny. I love how the MC dislike "troublesome" fame and power. It's all how the MC should be. Not weak but not duper super strong either. It's so fun.. plot is check. MC is check. Characters is check. Villains is check. Villagers is check. It's not perfect but close to, so far...

Take a moment to appreciate the fact that you will be reading a novel about a transmitigator who read a novel about a transmitigator and was transported to that world, and the novel you are reading is about how he changed the story of the novel he read. Honestly it's an entertaining read.

It's an undeniably fun read. Interesting plot developments and perhaps some fun misunderstandings, but really not much in character development or world building or really depth of plot.

I would rate this novel close to 3.5. I really liked the novel, it was overall a really good story with some unique plot and a really strong start. The story, the interactions, the plot, basically everything was good for the first 50-60 chapter, I would even go so far as to say that this was one of my top 10 novels but as the story progressed the author kept repeating the same interactions between characters, the same plot, basically the same formula for almost everything. I didnt really mind... more>> it before as the concepts were still fresh, but as of now it has just become a chore to read this novel. Its really boring as you already know whats going to happen.

Its a good novel overall, I recommend people to give it a shot. <<less

It was well written. It is the same old story anyone who frequents web/light novels will recognize: Transmigrator, Borderline-Mary-Sue, No extended themes; however the creative spin on the main character's modus operandi and personality keeps you interested at least until chapter 60.

I binge read the whole thing over two days and I started getting bored at around chapter 71. The chapters prior set up the exposition well and hooks you. You speculate on origins of ancient magics, character origins, and plot directions. Past chapter 70 you start asking yourself, "what... more>> is the point of everything?" There are enough hints dropped for you to extrapolate and guess. But there is not enough world building for me to really give a damn.

Character development starts to get predictable around chapter 48, I think. You have different character archetypes, but your guess on how they'll affect the plot will probably right 90% of the time.

So do I recommend reading this? Yeah, go for it. Read until you're bored. Then stop. Everything prior to point will be a fun ride. <<less

Hmm... pretty decent start. This is basically a fast-paced Korean protagonist rise-to-power drama in a world similiar to Japanese otome-game-like setting. The closest novels in terms of "feel" to this novel would be I Am the Monarch and maybe Tales of Demons and Gods. The protagonist already knows what will happen in the future, and takes steps to avert his fate, but unlike the protagonists of other novels, all he wants is just enough power to have a peaceful life rather than to save the world. Unfortunately, it looks like... more>> fate is not going to let him enjoy such a life. Plus, although he is quite clever, he's just dense enough not to realise how much his offhand comments and actions are changing people's attitudes towards him. <<less

Easily one of my favorite novels I've found on Novelupdates. I feel like there's a fairly compelling story which only gets better compared to the beginning, characters who feel unique in personality and motivation, and worldbuilding that the author clearly put great effort into.

On top of that, it's not just yet another goddamn story where romance is unnecessarily shoehorned into the plot. Platonic and familial relationships are deeply important, and as somebody with no interest in romance in neither my personal life nor the media I consume, I couldn't be... more>> happier with that.

Just being straight, if you don't think that a story can be compelling or accurate without romance, then just walk away right now. But if the story seems intriguing, give it a try. <<less

if there is any novel I would label a comfort novel, it would be this one. Minor spoilers ahead <3

the writing is crude and the author relies on telling rather than showing but all of it just adds to the charm. The story is so captivating and the characters are lovable, albeit with their flaws. Every ounce of hype thrown at this novel is deserved.

although the plot itself could be called rather cliche, the way the characters go about it and the direction it goes keeps the momentum going all... more>> throughout the novel. Not once did I feel bored reading this novel and i've read it a good three times.

unlike a plethora of transmigration novels, the MC doesn't have a simple and boring past and he isn't a child. He transmigrates into the novel world with the intent of staying low and relaxing, something he's unable of doing in his previous world, though he doesn't get far. He paints this big picture of him being a lowly, scummy person even though he is anything but. Everything that cale henituse does is for the people around him, which grows steadily the longer he stays in the world (and for good reason!), no matter how many times he shoots others down for saying he's a good person with an excuse of him doing it for monetary gain.

overall, the novel is hilarious and a great mood booster. Every time I catch myself crumbling, this novel is always there to provide a good laugh and moments that warm my heart. If there is any novel I would recommend to someone who enjoys transmigration novels, it would most certainly be this one! <<less

❤🌈This story is amaziiiing 😍😍😍♡♡♡

I really can't get enough feom reading it 🤩☆

The number of count foe how many times I have read it is more than 10 times

... more>> MC is smart and has an attractive character... i've read a lot of stories about smart MCs but none of them was as reasonable as this, it will describe Mc's past little by little that you actually will connect puzzles

our MC's biggest charm is his Heart, eventhough he has been through so much but he didn't become another villain and he just gave others what he couldn't have ' materially (money and food) or spiritually (love and family) ^_^

The other characters also have their own charm such as trying their best for anything, not giving up in life or for their dreams and etc...

We also have character developement even for those who we never thought of

Another reason that this story is my favourite is that we haven't lost any precious character in any plot 🤗 I really totally hate any character dying (never ever)

Wow I foegot this, there will be a time that the story show somethings that makes your jaw drop hehe I was sometimes pretty shocked but absolutly excited *○*

The only problem and also the reason I haven't been able make my friends read it : (thd first 50 chapters not have enough excitment and because of that a lot of people lose interest before reaching the enjoyable parts of story 🤧

Everyone plz don't give up on this story and judge is after at least about 80 chapters (I know it is unreasonable but at that time at least we have 1 or 2 interesting events) ~

These days I'm even addicted to different types of fanfics of TCF that it's weird I haven't gotten tired of it even just a bit 😆

❤♡I love it ♡❤ <<less

Our MC is an interesting manipulative fellow and puts his friends and allies to work but also being protective of them. He goes around saying he is tr*sh but he is anything but

There would always be something new, surprising to unfold as the story progress.

Nevertheless, What I find most annoying is the occurrence of the phrase "It was at that moment" at any given time. Maybe it is an error in translation (Translator needs a beta) or the Author themselves wrote that way. <<less

Overall this is an enjoyable story that has many entertaining parts but also has some pacing issues that can cause frustration

In the beginning I was very annoyed by MC's selfish attitude and how it appeared MC was always terrified of putting themselves at risk in any way and would run away from any sign of conflict/battle

It got annoying and made me think this guy has no guts at all

However over time the character grows as they experience the novel and try to ensure their happy "retirement" as a good for... more>> nothing while manipulating events in the novel for the better over time.

The side characters are what kept me in the game, I really enjoyed meeting them over time and how MC developed bonds and became almost a parent nurturing everybody to live and survive. I really enjoyed the lore of the ancient powers he gets and the ancient heroes and their past that its all linked to as well as how misunderstandings pile up in the main plot about the MC over time.

The main plot is interesting and a bit unpredictable to an extent, as enemies become allies and allies turn out to be enemies, but the pacing has issues as there are times when I find some portion of the plot advancing too slowly and you just want to move ahead to figure out whats happening/why the plot is what it is. Those portions occur now and then and are frustrating but you learn to balance it.

ToCF isn't a masterpiece imo but its an enjoyable read with some issues but at its core has some enjoyable material. <<less

This novel is so addicting. At first when I saw how many chapters it had I thought I would get bored at some point because most authors become lazy toward the end and the plot just gets boring. This novel is definitely different and I can’t wait to see what other surprises it has. It made me feel a ton of emotions 😭

It is seriously good. I'm the type of person to easily get bored or distracted but it is the first time I'm this devoted to a novel. The story never got boring despite being this long and the MC is really likeable. It is my first time seeing this kind of MC. Seriously, he is so unique. And all the side characters are also very interesting and the relationship between everyone in this novel is idk really wonderful. Every relationship Cale has is purely platonic (I'm not a fan of... more>> romance, so I really appreciated this) and they are like a big family. I have read until the end and is still waiting for the next part.

I understand the negative reviews since it was really slow at first and most people get lazy during the early chapters and quit reading, I was too like that. But for me, it does get better and better, and the plot and the characters are really my cup of tea, maybe that was why I really enjoyed it. <<less

The protagonist will just randomly keep going somewhere and doing things because he knows stuff from the future you don't. Which is nice in the beginning but will get tiresome after you realise it's just the same thing repeating again and again and then it gets boring and tiresome.
