Circumstances of a Fallen Lord

Description

Luisen was a lord who wasted his life away after fleeing his castle in the middle of the night during a war. He died experiencing bitter regret, but when he opened his eyes, he found he had regressed back to that night he ran away!

There’s no fleeing twice! This time he’s determined not to leave the territory, but to protect it…

Going alone to the enemy to surrender himself, Luisen met Carlton, a noble-hating mad-dog mercenary. The two found strange solidarity as unfortunate souls who threw away their life’s potential through horrible choices.

“If I die, so will you,” Luisen said.

Carlton, who acknowledged the reality of Luisen’s statement, suddenly began to think, “Why is the duke helping me so much?”

From then on, his gaze began to linger on Luisen.

You know those Korean romance novels where the girl was this villainess in her last life and gets reborn and suddenly becomes self-righteous and self-sacrificing? People are suspicious of her actions and she doesn't explain herself well or use common logic to understand why the people around her are constantly misunderstanding her? This is exactly like those villainess romance stories except BL.

MC is rly annoying. Like, its realistic that you're gonna be scared of the same things and have the same personality the next rebirth but all the things that... more>> happened in his first life are the result of his own actions. I give it a 4 stars with how realistic his rebirth is because at least he's not suddenly fearless and smart after he's been reborn.

So even though he has a wonderful environment now that he's reborn, he still acts the a beggar and doesn't seem to understand how contradictory his actions are; like yea, they said he wasn't smart in the story but... Some things he does doesn't follow common logic? Like, he's just annoying to read. It's make more sense if he transmigrated and didn't know anything but on some level, he must know how strange and suspicious he seems because he's suspicious of the ML whenever the ML acts kind or humble too. The problems are solved really easily in my opinion too; the MC is afraid of the issue so it makes it seem like it's more difficult than it really is but... It's almost reasolved by the next chapter pretty much.

It's a super cliché novel, lots of potential but falls around average. <<less

I finished the book by paying the price. You can understand that I like the story very much, the parts I wrote below are just my subjective thoughts.

In my opinion, it would have been a legend without these shortcomings. Also, the romantic dose wasn't enough for me. It is not clear whether it is love for each other, admiration or an obligation. Do they just need each other? I don't think there is much in the story of s*xual tension. Another deficiency is mc's psychological deficiency, he does not show much trauma according to his experience, the only trauma symptom is his eating habit. The links in your old life seemed to me to be broken. The fact that he even sells his body for food in the story, in my opinion, disrupts the psychological course of the story. The reason is that MC is someone who has been in a high position in the story for generations and he was raised this way. The last thing he can do for food is sell his body. In fact, I don't think this incident fits the story perfectly. The presence of a plant that grows everywhere would not have dragged it to this point. Also, a person who has experienced something like this would not be successful at the second chance, as it would cause severe trauma. They are usually those who sell their bodies, narcotic products, wealth, low social life, pleasure life. If MC had been so dishonorable, he wouldn't have cared for anyone the second chance. But he cares about everyone in the story. I think it would be enough for a master like him to collect garbage instead. Even if this event was narrated for the first time, we could see the psychological break. At the same time, it should have been shown from the beginning that MC is not s*upid but indifferent in my opinion. It can be said that while depicting the story, MC did nothing because instead of being s*upid, everyone was making things easier for him. If he had been s*upid anyway, he wouldn't have been able to handle the second part of his life successfully. The betrayal of the usak with its ups and downs and the psychological pressure of this betrayal on MC should have been created. The psychological background of ml's actions could have been given more.

The reason why I wrote so much, the story is very good, I just pointed out the small deficiencies to make it more perfect. It is nice even if these deficiencies are not completed. <<less

Cliche, but compared to other BLs I've read—it's a change of scenery (like Omegaverse, etc.), finally. Kinda biased since I have a paramount interest in medieval/historical settings. Also, I like the "vibe" of this novel. It's not just "haha, thou art fair, hence I shall ram ye!"/ "haha, he is so sexy, I will ram him."—the author takes the time (one might say too little or enough) to actually build the characters along with telling an entertaining (enough) story.
The characters at the moment, especially... more>> Luisen (MC) are pretty enjoyable! Luisen—as an example—feels different from the generic characters even though he is one of the generics. Most of the generics are annoying, but he's not; his character is attracting! He's kinda the innocent, goody boy, I-want-to-fix-my-mistakes character, and I adore these types of characters, though only when they're excellent written out, of course. Luisen is one of the successfully characterized character so far—really happy about that. Again, very new to my mind to think "wow I don't actually feel like I need to tolerate this MC, pretty likable by himself; no need for me to force that!"
Read it. <<less

I love it! I saw the manhwa first and decided to read the novel - and when I caught up with the ENG translation, I decided to buy the rest (and the side stories)

At first I’m a bit annoyed at MC since he seems very clumsy & oblivious in some events despite being a regressor, but it’s already established that he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed so >.< His character growth is good too! He went from being arrogant to empathizing his people and see everyone’s values.

MC... more>> & ML has good communication - no dragged out drama between them ^^

Spoiler

Except the part where ML literally misunderstood a situation early chapters and decided to make up a whole sad backstory about MC’s childhood & his retainers hehe it’s a funny miscommunication that lasted until the side stories.

It's a fun webnovel if you don't take it too seriously!

By that I mean don't expect... the two protagonists to have their hands on common sense all the time... They're fairly silly, and quite frankly I enjoy it that way. While this review is subject to change as I continue to read, its a fun and fairly easy read. The TL does have a few mistranslations here and there but it's good and fairly unnoticeable.

I do have a few complaints, but it's a little biased coming from someone who likes... more>> kingdom politics and nitpicking however.

Spoiler

The protagonist, Luisen is pretty inconsistent. And to be fair to him? He tells us himself he's not smart, so I really can't pick on him that hard. But I feel as if this aspect may annoy some readers who feel similarly about consistency and such. Despite trying to keep the fact he time traveled from the future, he often slips up in ways often... a little unexplainable? Luckily, Carlton is a simp and is too busy pining to notice.

Additionally, I find some weird inconsistencies in who Luisen was SUPPOSED to have been in the past, and how he acted in the past...? Don't get me wrong in thinking 'oh a BL protaganist who has been with women in the past? That sounds fake' but... Everything I hear about his past personality feels like he simply would not have taken the initiative with women? And... lol... even his attendant didn't really seem like he would push that not going to lie. It feels like after the first handful of the chapters the author felt a bit awkward about Luisen being a "tr*shy" lord, and tried to backpedal. It's not the worst crime of this type of thing occurring and I feel like perhaps the author saw other novels/media with similar ideas... but it's someone transmigrating and not a time travel occurrence? That way it would naturally have that dissonance... Luisen does not have that luxury. I don't particularly mind that "oh he's so different now" because it does make sense, but the inconsistency comes from his past self with his past self?

I mean I would not be surprised if a couple chapters later Ruger goes like "Yeah Luisen wasn't the kind of guy who takes initiative so when women tried to flirt with him he'd just go along with the flow."

Overall: Not a huge deal. I'm assuming if you found this review you've probably have read other BL webnovels and probably should be generally used to this kind of thing. And again, not the worst example of this kind of thing occurring.

Though there could be irritations in the fact Luisen is kind of... oblivious even though he went through suffering, but I don't think it's that far of a stretch for him to be so unaware. He does not learn that well, as he said before, and he has shown times where even though he lived on the streets he did not quite have street smarts. Not only that, some of the obliviousness is through his over-reliance on the future's knowledge.

All in all, a pretty decent read. <<less
