- Tone: It starts off essentially like a tower defense game. The tone is light and funny and there is no real drama instead opting for a more slice of life approach, which isn't by itself a knock against it. But constantly the story jumps into different genres with vastly different tones and will just switch back and forth. In one side story, we're suddenly introduced to a party of adventurers that the author makes us emotionally invested in, has them killed in cold blood by the leading cast, and then tries to pivot to the same slice of life bullshit. It would be like if Death Note took a break from being a cat-and-mouse, battle-of-philosophies drama to be a melodrama based romcom and went back to the cat-and-mouse. It tonally ruins the story. This problem comes up every time we go into a side story.
- Characterization: Characters are added seemingly on a whim by the author, however he doesn't seem to have a solid grasp on how he wants the characters to behave so he'll just have them act according to whatever feels coolest. For example, the homunculi are added and they are initially characterized as doting, reserved, and childish/playful (For Una, Dos, and Tres respectively) but the moment they are allowed to act in a space removed from the main character, they turn into uncaring, mu*derous psychopaths. Another is when Ann (another supporting character) kills the party of adventurers mentioned in 1 but when explaining how she got the equipment to the MC, she says it was from goblins. She is characterized by being 100% dedicated to the MC so either she lies to the MC because she doesn't want him to know, in which case why would she do something that would knowingly upset him; or she believed she was right in killing the adventurers, in which case why would she lie about it. Neither make sense, but it happens anyway because the author wants their cake and to eat it to. He wants a protagonists that acts like a happy-go-lucky doofus while still having those cool moments. It doesn't work. In universe reasons exist but they are neither mentioned nor developed by the author so ultimately its up to the reader to make up reasons to cope with the narrative whiplash.
- The MC is in the wrong web novel: The slice of life, tower defense tone that I mentioned earlier is the primary tone whenever the MC is the focus of the chapter, but whenever a different character takes center stage it drifts wildly into action or a political drama or something else. The question naturally arises if the author actually has any idea what he wants to do with the story. It reads like he's making it up as he goes along, which is only fine if whatever he decides to do makes sense within the preestablished setting and characterization. If you've read this far, it is clear that it doesn't.
Ultimately, the story is fun at that specific moment, but at any time you think back to previous events in the story, that fun is... more>>
