- The MC isn't totally s*upid and dumb. At first, he seems to be a slight ret*rd with dashes of cleverness and cunning, but he becomes more mature as he learns more about the girl, Jiang Muqing.
Doubts you may have, and my response:-
- Fillers: While the author does go into philosophy at times, it's fairly boring. I admit that. I skipped a sixth of Chapter 12 because of its annoying filler that did nothing but half-assedly explain the title. I skipped a whole Chapter 5 because it served no purpose other than the author's experimentation of adding gaming aspects. But remember, I'm not some machine, translating every single sentence word by word. I shuffle the phrases. I remove errors, and add more entertaining content. I add translator notes. Every time I translate anything, I wonder, how would a non-Chinese person feel if they read this? I read your comments, I know what you readers want.
Keep reading, and enjoy. -SerraThe story opens on a normal, hard-working high schooler MC living in China. On his way home from school, he notices a figure dressed in white at the top of a tall building, moving over the railing as if planning to jump. Disturbed by the lack of action among those around him, he decides on the spur of the moment to go and try to stop her. After a revealing talk (which includes a proclamation of eternal and single love in an attempt to talk her down) and a harrowing experience where he nearly falls to his death along with her as he works to save her, the two of them are rescued. After giving false information to the police in order to avoid complications, our MC heads home thinking it to be all over—never suspecting what he might have set into motion...
It's okay, not too shabby but not that good either (Leaning towards painful to read)
Good Part:
- The idea of the story is actually pretty interesting
- The MC is realist, and the author doesn't exaggerate him in some way
- Not a lot of character, so it's easy to remember who's who Bad Part:
- On the first chapter, the author is showing that the MC is heroic, next chapter the author is telling us that the MC is just a normal bland person without a goal (That chapter with color thingy). Another chapter, the author is telling us how dilligent he is. But even with all of that, his personality isn't that strong as a whole.
- The author really likes to times skip, jumping to a skipped times, then jumps to before skip on one passages to another
- Sometimes there would be a passage with some sort of physcological thing going on, I don't even know if this is how the author trying to let us see how the MC's thought of process works, or it's just the author wants to put it there. Sometimes there aren't any connection with the next passage at all, so it really puts me off while reading it.
- The development is too slow, it felt like the first half of the first volume is just a prologue. The idea is interesting but the execution is bad. [MC]
I'm actually a bit annoyed with the MC since I don't know his personality but he really likes to throw lies and thought everything will be finished with a couple sweet words.
He said the game is s*upid so I thought he doesn't game that much, he only played the game a bit but felt like he know the game full well (the part where his friend gave item to him), and that chapter felt like a filler to me.
He doesn't think of another people (to be fair, he is a realist person so I guess it's passable), he saved the heroine and felt like the heroine should felt indebted to him.
And yeah, I still really don't like the idea of him lying so the heroine, thinking he is in the right. [Whole]
I'll say this first hand, but the story doesn't really left any impact to me, it's a bit too bland. The setting it pretty detailed, but sometimes doesn't support the story at all. The first volume doesn't seem like finished volume at all. Surprisingly, the MC doesn't really interact with the heroine that much, and the yandere heroine doesn't seem to try interacting with the MC either, the MC does thing first then the heroine followed.
Rather than taming of the yandere, it felt like How I lied to a person with personal problem, then trying to cut off my connection to her while making her a better person so I could feel good about myself.
Seems to be focused on character development & interactions. At this point I'm really just giving this the benefit of the doubt. The BAD:
Well, putting aside that yandere are a bs type of Otaku-only stereotype, I'd say that the pacing is pretty slow. This has been called 'slice of life' in the hopes of getting it off, but honestly 'slice of life' would have better conversations with more people, or more events/interactions. After 20 chapters, something like 10 situations have happened, and that's not so horrible, except I'm calling 'getting called into the teacher's office' an event. The issue with the events is not so much the low number, or the content (though that's partly an issue), but the blase tone that permeates the novel. The MC has an attitude where even in life or death situations, he will say he's affected, but pretty much act like needed for the plot to quietly progress.
After saving her life, he gives the police fake info- rationalizing some stuff. This turns out to make it hard for the yandere to stalk him- but it wasn't planned. What he apparently planned was to break the law giving false info to the police, assume no one would be taking cell phone pics, and that it wouldn't complicate his HS/home life for being a hero/liar. No wait- not what he planned. Well, it was just as likely. The MC does this 'all risk/no reward' thing 'just cause'..
Much later when she throws a bunch of knives at him, I guess he brushes it off/acts like it's not a reason to break off ties/avoid her like the plague since she had bad aim. Well, I dunno why actually- but he pretty much acts like its no big deal.
Apparently this yandere is less violent, more psychological. I kinda think that makes it 'not a yandere'- but since yandere are nonsense anyway, I don't got much to say other than-- My dumb note:
Tsundere & Yandere are both dumb. I think at one point tsundere was an unintentionally racist comedy thing (almost all redheads), but for some reason the Japanese seem to love them & keep putting them in other places (despite the fact that generally speaking, people's brains aren't actually that broken). Anyway, someone 'upped the ante' & did the yandere, and of course the Japanese think any good looking girl interested in you is awesome-- even if she would kill you due to any unintentional act that could spark a sliver of escalate-able jealousy (I'm hoping not really- but anime seem to be trying to convince otherwise).
Anyway, she's not at all stalker-ish, & fairly safe to be around- ie, not really very yandere. This is pretty much a necessity since this isn't the slightest bit a comedy so far. 'Why does it need to be a comedy?' you ask'? because hitting people is a crime & causes injuries/bleeding/death/jail visits EXCEPT in comedies. Since this isn't one, the author needs to either 'make less yan', 'use plot armor', or 'control pre-yan situations'
Story:10/10
[End Edit] [Edit PS] I found it, and it was all the way at the bottom of the page, did not know that was where you could change your star rating. I'm definitely still a newbie when it comes to this site.
[End Edit PS] Wow, okay so I've gotten to chapter 13 of the first volume and I've gotta say, the main character is your average douche, so much so that it's shocking to me and is thus a giant turn off. I'll try to get to the recent chapter, but at this point his character makes it nearly unreadable.
One example of this is in one of the earlier chapters he blames the girl's earlier suicidal actions on narcissism and being an attention whore. And then at one point, the girl confesses her feelings to him and he just blatantly says to her "That was just a lie so you wouldn't jump". Sure, it's the truth, but maybe he could've phrased it a bit better so that he wouldn't come off as a giant prick. Later on, when the main characters are alone, the male MC then goes on to tell that same girl that he loves her, just so that she would come to school once again. His reasoning for lying to her once again? It's all because she's the selfish one. The Male Mc's actions are just extremely egotistical, selfish, and narcissistic which is a major turn off for me. So if you don't like that type of character in your novel, then I wouldn't read it since as of chapter 13 he hasn't gotten any better and it looks like he never will.
