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.

Good plot and appropriately fleshed out characters.

I really want to read this until the end but I just keep dropping it cause the storytelling is not my style and the redundant words is gonna make me cry soon. I don't know how much I could take reading the word 'flinch'. I'm not sure about the original word used but this just makes me feel like I'm reading a bunch of overcaffeinated/traumatised individuals.

But Cale already grew on me so I kept coming back to this lol. I wonder how much longer... more>> this adventure would be though since we just got the end of Season/Book 1 this year. Gahd. <<less

This novel is up there compare to the many sh*ty ones not included any Yaoi or romance (As I read neither). But yes 4/5 not splendid, but it's good and bareable while also interesting.

I’m reading and eagerly waiting for updates.
This is a whirlwind of emotions which makes your blood boil. It may/ may not make you take some actions in real life too when you are reading.

I for one have laughed like crazy, cried with my throat feeling tight, felt like they’re so cool whenever they did something amazing with my heart feeling like it’s full and about to burst. I gradually got to understand our mysterious and misleading tr*sh of Counts family.
Haaah... it also makes me sigh thinking everyone has... more>> their own level of craziness. They make me want to believe in making the impossible possible in the most notorious ways.

I feel proud of the way each of them develops and matures in their own way. <<less

I'm still in the early stages of the novel byt so far it is great. The MC is quite indifferent about almost everything around him except for his own survival, whatever could make him live a life free of worries in the future and some things related to the original main character. He doesn't care if people follow him or not but if they do, he will take advantage of it, which is pretty cool.

the MC acknowledges that he changd the flow of the story because of his decisions... more>> and takes into consideration what may or may not happen when planning.

The only downside I saw for now is that although sometimes he tries to act like a tr*sh, it doesnt seem like how the previous cale would do and some plot holes. Although I might be wrong.

I will try to update this as I try to catch up to the latest chapter. <<less

The plot is good but the dialogue and description, as well as the execution could be better honestly.

The MC party is so OP and well-rounded to the point where literally everyone else besides them is irrelevant and useless. Like, oh look the strongest warrior/mage of *a random kingdom* I wonder how strong he is. Surprisingly, he's garbage compare to anyone from MC's party.

MC has to plan everything and decided to personally engaged in every single conflict. This make it seems like other characters has such a low IQ to do... more>> anything on their own.

General situation after MC saves a group of people, coughing up blood and near death:

NPC: OMG! Thank you for saving us! Let us give you *some reward/compensation*

MC: No need. I don't want anything. I didn't do anything. It was the courage and teamwork of the people/citizens. I take no credit.

NPC: *OMG HE'S A SAINT! HOW CAN SOMEONEONE BE SO HUMBLE!!!*

This happened so many times throughout the novel and I found it rather irksome. <<less

4.5 Stars

The translation I've read is by EatApplePies. Ahhh, what a marvellous ride haha. Please stick to the story until at least past chapter 135 ish as that is when the writing gets better and the characters start to get invested in each other. Somewhere here was when I finally felt any connection with Cale the MC lol. Basically, Cale is super dense and he actually really cares for people despite the first 100+ chapters.

After that, all the characters will care for each other and you will find yourself rooting... more>> for them. The battles can be hit or miss for me but when Cale is being badass, it is very cool. The parts I most liked were the breaks in between fights where Cale spends time with people bonding and when he gets the ancient powers after the 135+ chapter mark. The intangible characters are hilarious heh. The translation is consistent from the first chapter at a high quality.

========================

Chapter 98

Hmmm, I do like all the characters and the world. And the writing is detailed enough that I can picture what's happening most of the time, which is usually a huge deterrent for translated light novels where the writing is super vague, direct and simple. Even the plot is pretty good so far, I think. It's just that for every arc/mini-arc, the climax/aftermath feels so normal and anticlimactic. Like the moment an arc finishes and Cale gets the item or achieves his objective, we don't get to enjoy or celebrate it. The author just writes that now it's time for Cale to slack off and do nothing. Then the next chapter will be about how Cale managed to do nothing for 1 month this time. And then the next thing to propel the story happens and we do it all over again. So it's like the tension or plot is constantly at this level and doesn't really rise, so you don't get that rising action, exciting climax, engaging and celebratory aftermath before you hit the next arc...

Chapter 140

Okay, I gave it another go because I read a lot of people saying it was wholesome and stuff which I really like! But I haven't seen anything like what they were praising up to chap 98 so I figured to continue since there are 600+ chapters lol. And as I read more and more, and the plot returned more to the war, it got progressively more engaging! There was more character interaction! And 130+ chapters in with the dragon, I got unexpectedly hit in the feels. And it got more obvious that the healing of these characters haha. The humour was also funny to me then. I kinda feel like the author got an editor to improve the story lol.

This story gets 4 stars automatically for skilled use of intentional unreliable narration, world-building, late-stage plot twists, attention to detail, and the merging of genres (mild spoiler there). This story definitely isn't perfect, but +1 for not having cliched, one-dimensional female characters sidelined as simple waifus that are in love with the main character. No, they are powerful and respect the MC for his various qualities, but do not bust out panty shots for him. It's refreshing seeing such a long story without a hint of romance unless we talking... more>>

Choi Han x Cale (but even that's a bit of a stretch

.

I will say that this story really scratched my dominate-the-world-with-smarts itch, but character development and writing style definitely are a couple of the negatives for this story. Awkward phrases like "children-averaging-nine-year-olds" are repeated to death, and character development isn't as fleshed out due to (1) the huge number of characters in this story (2) the plot-driven story filled with plotting and deceit (3) all the unraveling mysteries still needing to be solved. This story has a lot on its plate, so often times character development will take the back burner. Nonetheless, I still really enjoy reading it, and even now I still eagerly await updates weekly. <<less

This is a GOOD story, no lies about that but to be critical. Yes I love the our redhead protagonist and co. There is an amazing cast of characters waiting for you. And the author has a unique spin of making use of ever named character.
The story writing is pretty good and you could rate the world building at *5/5. I can binge a hundred and come back to it after a short absence, the story has context clues and skillfully transitions between flashbacks. Like DAMN the author knows... more>> how to write. Each chapter WAS short and straight to the point.

Sad to say that this novel suffers from its long publication. It had the makings to get it this far. Given that it was early on in the series, it was fine to be vague about some plot points but now it borders the pattern of, ‘leaving vague plot details, in case they could be used’ as 1) plot armor or 2) witnesses. Even if the author meticulously plans it, if feels kind of cheap given how far the story is. There is never a long period of time where the protagonist is NOT busy. The end goal is highlighted at every chance, “to be a slacker” and the contrast has long worn itself out. It feels nothing has really developed as point A tries to reach point B. At some point the eventful... events are just stalling for time. It feels like a fruitless struggle which is frustrating. (Even so I would like to smack author-nim from behind at least once for how they pull twists. I’ve really come to like them, though that’s a personal opinion.)
This series is void of romance, but it has FAMILY. The children are wholesome and noonas, hyungs, dongsaengs and the parents are all wholesome. AND, this story has the components to write fan-fictions, if you need to resolve your urges you can probably find fan works online. The community is great, especially the comment section~

All in all I can feel the author is a kindred soul who is as much of a fan of Cale, our protagonist, as much as I am. And if I had the opportunity, I would totally start a cult for the redhead protagonist~ <<less

i really like this novel. In the first part, he spoils everything but it gives you sort of relief because you already know what's gonna happen. It's not rushed. Unlike other novels they tend to rush the story.

he's really dense and I like it.

my favorite character is definitely the black dragon (i won't say his name since it's a spoiler). He's really cute and tsundere hehe.

I think it makes no sense that no one is killed or injured by the MC while they are fighting the war, but other than that, it's all great.

Its very well written with semi-realistic charactrs. Although they are somewhat dumb (besides mc). The plot is little empty. There is no real goal that the MC tries to accompish which makes the experience a little hollow and, depending of the person you are, boring.

It is still much better that the average novel you will find here.

It is great and yes there is a lot of drama but that is what makes it good.

You can see his progress to getting strong which is very slow even if he is mostly doing things just so he can stay alive and live a life in peace.

MC is a schemer who is lucky..... in most cases.

I love all side characters and I like the plot so far. MC is also a bit tsundere and what a damn shock there is no romance not even a FL its just the... more>> MC Scamming people and annoying people who poke him.

The novel has no romance of any kind so if you are looking for that then the door is to the right just a lot of interaction and a healthy dose of misunderstandings. <<less

  • This novel is so good! I'm obsessed with this novel and it is gonna be my 10 or 12 time re-reading this. I've never been this obsessed with any book but this book is an exception. I wish this book get more attention from people, and I want to thank the Author for writing this amazing piece and I want to thank the translator (s) too for translation this masterpiece.

This novel is good, but it just feels sooooo slow.. It really is unbelievable. I can't believe how much I have to focus on it. Obviously, the juicy parts are very cool, but it is hard work reaching them. What bothers me the most is the permanent interaction of person A starts smiling, person B starts smiling, person C has a stoic expression. Seriously, it was fine when it was limited to one or two characters, but the more characters act the same way, the weirder it gets. I still... more>> give it 4*, because I really like the MC and his motivation, but man, what a drag. <<less

Love it!

It's a good fantasy novel that surprised me several times already;
One thing though. If you expect a lot of action from the very beginning you'll get disappointed!
It goes at a slower peace with the first over 100 chapters being the foundation where MC builds up his connections with others. There is not much fighting at this point of the story, only about one 'battle'.
There are more much later into the story.

The MC is more of a commander type so don't be surprised that he's not running... more>> around with a sword or awesome magic since the very beginning of every fight.
He does get involved in the battles only in the moments where his power specifically is needed. (Which is usually at least once per battle)
And even though it may seem like he's always safe and sound on the sidelines, or that noting much happens to him then wait a bit and you'll see that's not true in the least (Especially around chapter 256), he has his own share of pain.

You might think that his relationship with his comrades/friends/family is kind of fake at the very beginning, since he got involved with some of them for the sake of making things easier for himself, but the deeper you go into the story, and the better you understand MC's personality, the more you realize that it's not the case at all.
Especially after several flashbacks on his past.

Honestly there were several times where I got quite bored, but that was usually only because I was waiting for the continuation of some kind of development, but had to wait until MC deals with the things at hand.
For example: He got some important news while he was away, and we have to wait until he's done with his current business, to learn more when he returns.

I also like that there are no romantic developments so far; There is a sh*t ton of novels where the MC either has a harem or a lover, but here the story is completely focused on the MC and his comrades doing their best to achieve their goals.

To sum it all up; It's a very interesting novel that will surprise you many times as long as you have the patience to read. (Don't worry, nothing is as slow, and stretched as the Chinese martial arts novels, so you can try reading one beforehand and this will probably seem like a short story in comparison) ;) <<less

It has its flaws and inconsistencies but hey, it's a web novel. I come for entertainment and not for deep and profound insight on things. I have my nonfiction and classical novels for that.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It's a feel good novel which you can read on your break and not worry too much about the happenings as the plot is pretty obvious and there're hardly any twists. It's your typical wish-fulfillment novel where hardly anything stumped the MC. Everything seems to be served on a silver platter: OP... more>> powers, comrades, subordinates, etc. It's a novel with a linear formula. The world building is pretty good though.

I gave a 4* for the enjoyment and the misunderstandings/reactions in this novel lmao. <<less

Pros:

-lots of creativity and depth in plot development

-well written and translated, it's great to read

... more>> -good character development for MC and certain important supporting characters

-the humor in this reminds you not to take this too seriously and forgive how Gary Stu the MC is

Cons:

-really, the MC is quite the gary stu

-if you're looking for romance, there's no whiff of it at all, so much so it makes me question whether MC was transmigrated with those male functions intact

-I'd say the 'good character development' for characters other than MC amounts to just... 1 other character. It's not to say characterisation is bad, the other characters feel real enough, it's more like, the MC/author keeps them at arm's length distance in terms of relationship. <<less

From the beginning he saves someone. Then he gains a power. After that he saves some again and gains new f*cking power. The same thing is being repeated till now.

I don't if its the writer or the translator, there some uses of some bloody catch phrases repeatedly. It is f%&king annoying. I freaking hate the MC for some of his f$&king quirks. Just like I hate the MC of my another favorite korean novel "The Novel's Extra". Yes its one of my favorite korean novel.

If you like center of "attention" type novel (which is almost every asian novel is like), It is your cup of tea. But this one is bland

If you are wondering why the 4stars.

Cause I enjoyed the all hail MC thing in the first place a lot. But I hate that lazy bastard. <<less
