Mmmm, no. I've been on a binge of all the novels that GenesisTLs are doing, because they have a clearly obvious set of subject material that they TL, which at this point seems to be KR+Harem+Yandere lol. And so far, I've really enjoyed the 5 or 6 other novels of theirs that I've binged recently (like in the last week haha) !

That being said, this isn't one of them. I'll try to be fair about both the pros and the cons, because there most definitely are both. I decided to... more>> drop this like mid 50s, but stuck til the end of the first arc just in case.

Cons first, because they're numerous, and they're what is making me drop this, rather than being something you can ignore if the pros are good enough. In this case, it's the characters. ALL OF THEM. And I mean that literally. With the exception of two characters, both of which are harem members presumably, literally every character is either awful, infuriating, s*upid, annoying, sometimes all of the above. The MC's denseness is utterly ridiculous, rivaling the absolute worst of JP shounen. And no, you can't excuse it because 'he's laser focused on saving the world' as another person put it. Saving the world has almost nothing to do with the plot. It's kind of a motivator (kind of?) but the pacing is hellishly slow. 80+ chapters for the first arc, which is like 4 weeks of time, two of which he spends either in a blackout drunk fugue state that we don't see, and a 1 week timeskip while he team-trains. But anyways, setting aside the slow plot and the fact it's got nothing to do with his denseness, the MC is an incredibly annoying character to read because in some ways (more on that later), he's a super dense, dumb, and beta male. I will preface this right now though and say that it's only in SOME ways. In other ways, he's f***ing amazing. That's the absolute major Pro of the book, so I'll go over it later. But in terms of character interactions, romance, and general intelligence, he's among the worst I've ever seen. It's infuriating to read, especially when it's contrasted with the other great part of his personality.

And for the rest of the characters, they're all awful. Two heroines are pretty good. Seria, who is a socially inept but cute and strong girl, is the first major heroine, and she's great. The 'yandere' part of her personality is frankly shoehorned in clumsily, and seems like the author just wanted to boast 'all my heroines are yanderes!' or something. It's awkward, but doesn't detract much from her character. The other, who is presumably the focus of the 2nd arc, is the Saintess, and besides the fact that the author LITERALLY waxes poetic about her b***bs EVERY TIME she shows up, she's actually a fun character. At this point I treat the authors description of her as a running gag.

But besides those two heroines, everyone else is AWFUL. The point of a yandere is having a cute girl be girlishly romantic and in love, but with the added spice of danger and helping her rise on the crazy/hot graph meme. (In fiction at least). None of the other girls are even remotely close to that. They're all cruel b*tches, and aren't cute or romantic at all. The childhood friend character is flat out a b*tch, bullies everyone she can, starts rumors, tr*sh talks, etc, when she has no claim whatsoever. She literally has zero redeeming qualities. Side note, all characters are 20-23, this is a college. Then there are 2 seniors who might or might not ever be in the harem, not sure, but they're 'attractive' females that are all supposedly close to the yandere type (they're really not). One is just an arrogant ruler type, who DOESN'T HAVE a different side. She has no care about lesser people, has no other sides to her, and just wants to possess anything that strikes her fancy. Oh, she's super rich, super powerful, super arrogant, and super OP in all ways. She literally has zero character depth. The last remaining one is an angry loli bully known as a gangster that forms mobs to beat people, and legitimately tortures people by electric nerve damage. Her 'flip side' is that she's traumatized by the MC and wets herself in fear and turns into a shivering mess whenever he confronts her. She's the definition of 'bully those weaker than her but turns into a coward versus anyone stronger'.

And ignoring the last 3, whom I'm not sure will actually be in the harem (in a normal story, the amount of screentime they have ensures that they would be, but given that the focus seems to be on the 'love letters', and we're doing 1 per arc, they might not). But ignoring those, ALL the side characters are awful. With the minor exception of the commoner girl who's kind and IN A COMA THE ENTIRE TIME, every side character is tr*sh. His 'friend' is a playboy, but whenever he goes to him for advice, his friend delights in not actually helping him, not helping him work through his dense-ness, and just insults him and says it's his fault. Every other side character is a mindless sheep that bullies people because how else are you going to show that the school is a social structure. Literally without exception. They're all bullies and cowards, no exception. Oh, and classism is a thing, except when it doesn't matter, just so people can bully those that are higher classed than them for plot reasons.

So yes, the characters all suck. And as mentioned the plot is actually pretty interesting, but it doesn't matter, because the pacing is terrible.

Pros: SO this is the reason the story gets 3*, rather than just a 1 star (if I could go 0*, I would). The juxtaposition of pros and cons is INTENSE. The pro is, outside of romantic interactions, denseness, and general intelligence, the MC is an absolute UNIT. He's so bada**, he is amazing. He without hesitation goes for violence at the drop of a hat, wrecks people left and right (and front and center and back and forth and ALL THE TIME!!). Oh, and it doesn't matter if his current enemy is male or female.

It's honestly glorious. A man and his hatchet, carving out the world. He's an utter beast, and it's so damn good. What makes this even better is that the choreography and writing of the fights is actually amazing. It's quite probably the best written fight scenes I've ever read (and I read a LOT). I honestly wish I could gush about how amazing the combat is, and how amazing the MC is, but frankly just take my word for it, it's spectacular. (I think you get the point).

So, TL;DR. Utterly terrible characters that will annoy you the entire time, but super amazing combat and the violent-aspected MC. (Non action-mode MC is tr*sh-tier level character). 2 good heroines, 3+ utterly awful wastes of space that have no redeeming features. Plus, Stockholm Syndrome in the tags worries me a ton.

Considering how awful the beginning is, I MIGHT come back to this when there's like 800 chapters translated (currently >800 ch total, but only a fraction of that are translated) so I can ask for spoilers on character growth and who's in the harem. But for now, given that only 2 characters are acceptable out of the entire cast, this is a waste of time. <<less

The story is about a guy who gets love letters from his future harem members which give him clues about what he needs to do to prevent the end of the world.

Like many harems, this one is sustained by a dense protagonist, but here his denseness makes sense. He's not some supposed genius who becomes dumb only when it comes to romance. He's just an idiot, but in a fun way. He's a musclehead who's good at combat but not much else. He knows he's not the smartest guy around,... more>> so he solves all of his problems with violence. It's quite refreshing in that sense, and also results in some really humorous situations. This story isn't high art by any means. But the action sequences are great, the plot is decent, and there's a lot of comedy. <<less

Title: Love Letter from the Future

Accolades: Novelpia 2021 Excellence Award

Ranking: 6th on Life Picks

... more>> Premise:

Ian Percus, the second son of a countryside Viscountcy.

One day, he received a love letter from the future.

'If we don't protect the future, the world will perish.'

With an ominous warning scribbled by Someone.

First and foremost, Ian Percus, the main protagonist of the work isn't a son of a countryside writer, he is the son of countryside Viscount, which is a key background setting as Ian will also be dragged in political struggle later on.

Second of all this novel isn't romance fantasy or Rofan as the title suggests and might dissuade some into reading or avoiding it altogether.

Originally he was a senior student in the Knights Faculty, who had no special talent. In reality he did possess innate talent but it never bloomed due to various circumstances.

However, one day his life completely changes when he wakes up from a dream of the future and saw visions of his future self. A desolate future with only pain and regrets. The future Ian after failing to save the world decides to send his memories to his past self.

He received a love letter from a distant future. He initially refuses to believe but as events unfold just how the love letter stated, he resolves himself.

Love Letter the title of the work is the means of possession and they're sent by heroines from different futures to Ian where they expressed their love and also conveyed some clues about the tragic future where the world has perished awaits him. Ian with the help of these clues tries to avert these future disasters.

The protagonist is an absolute unit as he wields his hatchet without hesitation wither it's mob characters or the female leads. No matter the odds stacked against him, if people hurts the ones he cares for or pisses him off he will wield his hatchet. He will sacrifice his one arm just to land a vital hit on his opponent. In short personally for me he is a chad.

Pros:

- Some of the most well written action scenes. MC struggles a lot in fights and he is always the underdog but he has balls of steel be it may the Imperial Princess or any be it a High class demon. Even if odds are stacked against him he would still fight and triumph

- Author's writing style is critically acclaimed.

- Solid well thought-out Worldview

- Charming Heroines who goes through their own character development

- Author handled foreshadowing quite well. Also the cover has fair amount of hints about the heroines and what's going to happen.

- MC doesn't hesitate to do what needs to be done no matter the cost. Nor he is a simp spending his time chasing skirts.

Cons:

- Character Development. It's personally not a con for me but for those who seek Overpowered protagonist it's not for them. As Ian slowly grows stronger and his personality evolves from his initial introverted as influenced by frequent possession of his future self. So I wouldn't recommend it to those

Also, fair warning to those who hate harem and romance. This novel is quite romance heavy, so if you still going to judge it based on your preconceived notions, I advise you to read other novels without romance or harem, there are a dime a dozen. Heck, I will even recommend you one, 'Regressed Demon Lord is Kind'.

Overall, A Love Letter from the Future is a great novel and worth the read. Although it seems like two translation groups will fight over it. <<less

Firstly.

Ignore those people who rate it low just because of harem elements.

This novel is a fun rollercoaster ride. The way that the novel is written is really interesting. The translators have done a great job providing appropriate fonts and explanations that makes it easier for western readers to understand a 'Western novel' written in the East.

... more>> The MC is an alpha who refuses to bow down to authority and arrogant young masters/ladies.

He doesn't even think twice to refuse something that touches his bottom line.

So, not a simp like harem haters accuse him to be.

Spoiler

He doesn't hesitate to beat up even the youngest princess of the country, who happens to be a brat, well due to circumstances.

[collapse]

It accurately describes the changeable attitudes of teenagers and young adults who grew up in greenhouses and how they mature over time.

The flaws of the characters are not artificially injected, there is no forced harem either.

Everything just happens naturally over the course of time.

The MC is very human. The characters are all very much 'alive'. The interactions are natural compared to over dramatization that you see in famous novels like 'tr*sh of the count's family' or well, all of Gabsong's stories. You don't see annoying gags like you see in Toika's stories or quite a few Japanese novels.

But you do see some annoying attitudes from some females, but they're rather realistic. The MC never acts scared because of any woman. He does what he wants regardless of what anyone says. MC acting scared in front of some woman? Well he does act docile in front of his family, but he doesn't budge when it comes to his convictions. Does he act scared because of a yandere? Not really, it's just a joke. Such moments are written clearly to lighten up the mood. There's no instance where you'd see a childishly violent heroine beating up the MC for no apparent reason.

I'd say it's worth a read.

If there's one thing to complain, it'd be the usual hypocrisy that the MC shows towards some characters that he finds important. The MC is human, and he's not a saint, so he finds reasons to justify the actions of people he likes. This is something that you see in most novels. But unlike most simp protagonists, the MC here wouldn't hesitate to punish these guys/girls appropriately so that they can correct their ways. And even these parts are all written with a good sense of humour.

If there's one thing to watch out for, it would be=>>>

Spoiler

There's a chance that there might be some in*est involved, that would be rather forced since the MC clearly stated that he sees his sister only as his sister and nothing else even though she's a clone, rather than his real sister.

I firmly disagree with lower star rating, sigh Harem antis are truly rare creatures they will diss masterpieces such as "Regressor Instruction Manual" and "Omniscient First Person View" (not ORV) just because it has harem. I mean novelpia and harem goes hand in hand lol. It's like knowingly roll jn gacha go under debt then blame the world. Also the rating reviws is basically spam of slurs rather than actual constructive review. But hey every novel has its fair share of haters and people are entitled to their own opinions... more>> no matter whatever they're.

Anyway, idk how far they have read unless we are even reading the same novel lmaoo. But MC personality never crumbles infront of girls lol he literally walks all over them and some of them are even his s*aves. But it's not like a torture and mental abuse novel neither any Stockholm Syndrome. The novel recieved a lot of praises and if they manage to get praises from that big of an audience, there has to be something in it right?

I mean besides minority critism, majority of the people aren't morons to liking tr*sh over 400 chapters and say that it's getting better and better.

The main pro is MC himself he is absolutely badass, no hesitation and knows how to get sh*t done no matter what he is up against.

Action scenes and with axe. Good stuff. *Chef kiss*

MC isn't a simp, you can trust me on that one I read far ahead and I can assure you of that. But one con there can be is that male dominance is strongly emphasized so feminazis might not like it.

Academy setting was really good. It's just my personal opinion but I dig academy novels.

Fusion of Regression and Possession through means of letter was quite orginal imo.

I think the worldview could have been portrayed better but I'm satisfied with that as Author chose to focus on the details and backstory of side characters which is fine with me.

Raws aside translation is really good.

Overall it was a solid read. I'm even re-reading it and following the great translation. Indeed harem is quite relevant here so harem haters won't like it no matter how good the author tries to portray it. I think it will garner a lot of hate cause of the harem bias originating from CN / JP novels and animes, get distracted from the good plot. I hope the translation team pushes through all the hate and complete the series. In the korean novel scene this novel is considered really good. <<less

Yea, gonna drop this one. The first two chapters were nice with a good hook but it completely fell apart after MC discovered his mary sue powers and became mentally disabled.

The paid translation switches between first and third person in the middle of a sentence. What are the editors over there doing? Whatever, it's not as bad as the story itself.

The characters are supposed to be around 23 years but everyone acts like they are 12. His friends are buttholes to everyone apart from MC, a complete 180 from their... more>> introductions, what the heck happened? I honestly hate them. Especially the one that calls MCs FG a bike handle and is openly hostile to her while he watches on and thinks absolutely nothing of it? That dude can't even protect the girl he tries to teach the values of friendship from his jealous childhood friend.

Spoiler for the first 26 chapters:

Spoiler

The letter describes what will happen and the MC is just ignoring it, even after confirming that the things written about are in fact happening. His "friend" just got into a ducking coma and the MC was lamenting ignoring the letter until he was even accidentally spilling it to his childhood friends. Since they are such good friends they immediately and aggressively start telling him that he is ducked in the head, even knowing he has amnesia. What nice childhood friends he as :) ! LMAO

So, what does our genius MC decide to do next? Gaslighting himself into thinking the letter is a prank, what the duck? However he at least still tries to make sure. After the next inevitable HAPPENING in the story the MC had the best opportunity yet to take others on board for the letter. He was hospitalized after an incident described in the letter and could have just told his childhood friends to fetch it and read it so that they start believing him and helping him. But not even the author thought of that so it doesn't even get mentioned. Instead his childhood friend starts group bullying his future girlfriend with all the hints dropped into his face from the other childhood friend and he still doesn't get it. I just dropped it here.

[collapse]

This story is honestly an immature tr*shcan. There are probably many more plotholes flying around that I didn't notice because of the rage and helplessness I felt reading that drama.

Read at your own risk of losing brain cells. I don't have good taste, but even I would not touch this further.

2 Stars because some people love trainwrecks and I don't want to ruin their score too much. <<less

The MC is utterly ret*rded and dense af.

He straight up ignores the contents of the 'Love Letter' when he could've easily followed upon it just to see what happened in case. Wallows in self-loath and grief when he realizes there are consequences to his s*upidity, lets anger take hold of him and almost dies for utterly no reason aside from 'yOU hURt mY fRIenDS NOw iMa kILl yoU!!!' when if he'd just waited 5 minutes the same results would've been achieved without anyone getting hurt. This happens all in 1... more>> arc btw.

For one of the Arcs. I was able to guess the entire plot simply from a sentence uttered by the MC's closest friend. The MC's closest friend AND the reader knew what was going to happen the ENTIRE arc and yet it took the MC 5+ chapters to 'uncover' it

Hes also insanely self-righteous and isn't likeable in the slightest. For example, there's an arc in which MC suspects a heroine of being the instigator or a bullying incident. Mind you, this guy has 0 solid proof and just starts screaming at the heroine for making such a s*upid mistake and the consequences of her actions, the heroine stays quiet because if communication actually existed, the length of this novel would be cut in half. Anyways it turns out the heroine wasn't actually the perpetrator and was just indirectly involved.

Mind you, just 1 arc ago, the MC made mistakes far s*upider and with much more dire consequences than just instigating a bullying incident so even if the heroine was behind it, he had 0 right to act like he did. Not only that, if only he wasn't as dense as a frickin neutron star and had the slightest bit of EQ, the heroine would've never gotten involved with the incident to begin with.

Aside from that the novel is actually decent in pretty much every aspect and could've achieved 4 stars

MC is literally Motoyasu from Rising of the Shield Hero or Kyouya from KonoSuba. Just less funny and the story is from his POV so its slightly easier to sympathize with him <<less

I think the lower star rating is quite harsh and their hate for harem is making their vision in the first place author himself added.l harem and romance tag so he didn't scam anyone lol Idk why anyone would read the novel after knowing its harem also I personally believe that there is no harm in harem well done.

Also I read upto 250 to know for sure that lower star rating either MTL'd the novel and just lost the context midway but definitely didn't read it in hangul

Anyway it's 4th... more>> in Life picks in a country that has 50 mil population to get that many likes and Recommendation is quite commendable

Also MC isn't pu*sy like lower star rating claims.

Spoiler

He makes his stand even when the princess threatens him, he asks her in return

"how long would it take you to destroy my family and friends and even their families"

Princess "2 months"

MC was like "Too long by then it (the world) will end"

He proceeds to beat her up also there is gradual growth in MC personality he doesn't became absolute ruthless after one or two possession

[collapse]

Spoiler

By end of the pricess' letter arc he actually makes the princess bow and kiss his feet.. That scene was epic

But mind u don't judge it as an abuse novel just because of that part, there are actual reasons for falling for MC. MC also doesn't hesitate to chop off arms of the people who bashes the people he cares about without coming out as cringe as generic CN MC.

It's everything against being a simp. Also Korean reviewers repeatedly praised MC brazen attitude of welding an axe without a care in the world. If you don't trust my word just check on Namu. So the lower star rating is just baseless claim of minority not general consensus.

[collapse]

Lastly, the fundamental of any novel is writing style this novel has one of the best writing style and beautiful poetic use of hanja.

But as I said it's harem novel not for harem antis relevant tags are there pls avoid it and don't diss later Im giving you fair warning <<less

The premise is interesting but unfortunately the MC is mentally handicapped and it makes reading any scenes of him interacting with other characters a chore. The side cast shown so far aren't really that likeable either.

The one thing this novel has is well written action sequences but that's all it really has going for it.

The story of a Gary Sue - supposedly not so strong with a sword but that defeats everyone and everything, with pathologic denseness in his relationship with the female characters. Some points in the story do not make any sense if you think a bit about it.

On the plus side, the translation is good and the initial idea of a love letter from the future isn't bad, but you may abstain on this one safely if you like 'realistic' characters and situations.

DISCLAIMER: "Translator's don't have authority to remove reviews.. If it got removed then it must have been against NU guidelines."

Now then, the review:

This novel is just generally a very well-written story.

The MC is originally an ordinary guy who got dragged into a series of events after receiving a letter a few years in the future. The MC is someone who will do anything to protect his friends or the people close to him from danger, he is someone with a significant amount of willpower which allows him to put up... more>> a good fight even against stronger opponents, and also create some epic bad*ss scenes.

The side characters are pretty good from what I've read, but I cannot give you an accurate judgement right now since not much side characters are introduced yet from what I'm currently at.

A lot of the earlier chapters are focused on the world-building and exploring the character of the MC, and Seria. So it might feel a bit boring for some people. The real exciting things starts at chapter 15.

The world building is mostly focused on the academy right now, but since the MC is a third-year at the academy, the plot will probably venture into the world soon enough. At that point, the real juicy stuffs will come out.

The fights are pretty good, it's satisfying reading how the MC managed to overcome the struggles and became stronger throughout the fight.

I have yet read to the point where the romance started, so I cannot give a judgement on that yet. As for the harem aspect, I also cannot give my judgement on it yet since only one harem member has appeared at the point where I'm at. But if the author keep the quality consistent (or perhaps even improve it), then this novel will definitely belong in one of the rare "good harem" categories.

In gaming terms, this novel felt like the all-rounder in a party, where it's good at everything but specializes in none, at least at the point where I'm at. It is overall a very well-written novel, go read it. <<less

First of all, the MC was drawn and portrayed very neatly and has the personality more drawn out to be that of a human like (unlike certain other novels who have bland or straight up under-developed personality) ; and hats off to the author for making some proper and commendable traits for our MC. He would certainly make mistakes and have few moments where he's hypocritical of his own ideology or have very conflicting views in his mind during certain events; but honestly that makes him more human-like and this... more>> is what makes the story more fun to read with an MC that you always want to see more of.

Next thing is the plot; this part rn for me isn't most definitely in the top of the list (have to wait and see more of the story to judge this) yet but it certainly has a well-defined plot with a good pacing with a proper transition at the end of every arc.

Spoiler

At the chapter when Emma was hospitalized, people harshly criticized the MC for disregarding the love letter to just be someone's troll but let us be real here; who in their right mind would take such a letter seriously at start. Emma going into comatose was heartbreaking for me too but I was also interested as to how the author will carry out the story and how the MC will act in the future and rn I can confidently say that the MC most definitely developed from this incident and has even been given a proper reason to follow along with the love letters.

[collapse]

I also noticed some people mentioning that MC has some "beta" male features but OH BOY HE'S NTHG BUT AN ABSOLUTE SIGMA. The way he carries himself while rejecting his childhood friend at a moment's notice when she gives hints to him and he also didn't hold back while beating the sh** out of a girl in a duel. He has this straight forward attitude while speaking with other ppl and his monologue has a bit of actual hilarity mixed up in it while he deals with various issues which gives you the feeling that he doesn't find his current predicament stressful or dreadful rather he finds it all the more entertaining and this gives out some sigma vibes from him.

Thank you for reading my review which helped you in finding your new fav novel (perhaps?), well it most definitely is one of my most fav novels tho and I can't wait to read more chapters of this ✺◟ (⩺ᗜ⩹) ◞✺ <<less

Premise is... Overdecorated with multiple things which in fact make zero impact on the way the story is actually developing. Love letter? Posession? It seems interesting at first, but the actual plot has zero originality, it's just bog standard shounen.

Characters are miserable and MC is the most of them all. Personality void, just that. He and another girl are at borderline cavemen level of emotional intelligence. It might be funny in a comedy, but author takes them completely seriously and tries to present it as a great drama, so it's... more>> just weird.

Plot is so simple, there is nothing to even describe, not even talking about praise or critique.

I do not recommend it to anyone, this is a massive waste of time. <<less

To be honest I'm mostly here for the drama and the misunderstandings.

I just love romance and tragedies.

Especially that scene with

headpatting

Seria.

MC can be sometimes annoying for me though, but future MC will surely be one of the best protagonist you'll ever witness. (Definitely not edgy)

And let me tell you the action scenes are the best scenes you'll find great 👍

Thank you for reading my totally mid and honest review.

The novel start off really interesting and the premise is something new and fresh,

Ian seems to be a "normal" noble, doesn't have anything special in him, but slowly and steady seems to grow both in powers and personality (by chapter 30 he already starts to beat up some douches).

I think the biggest pro for this novel are the action scenes, they are all very well described by the author and the fighting choreography is well thought and executed, I'm very looking forward to the future when Ian gets stronger... more>> and how these action scenes will be.

By now it seems that the novel will contain a good amount of romance (which I personally love if executed well) and judging by the harem tag, harem as well.

I would suggest that if you hate romance in your novel to not read this novel.

That being said, the novel is very popular and highly rated in Novelpia, ranked 5th in life picks and has over 10M+ views, so the potential that this novel has will most certainly live up to its name. <<less

Good. Just that I dislike the fact that MC is a bit dumb/naive, always did the same mistake. It seem to me that He is expecting good outcome while doing nothing new.

The novel is really cool but since I'm still early chap I still don't think it's really good but It's nice the pace is good, tho I'm far since I'm only at chapter 24 but I already really like the MC, with his letters from the future it benefits him a lot I think it boost his abilities and other things the other characters are decently made. -Kazu

Usually I trooper on when it comes to LN's, but as life is short and time limited- I can't bear this MC.

It's so weird, he get's possessed, receives a mysterious letter about tragic future, missing memories, visions of the future, a new weapon, and increased strength, but is still such a bland character. You would think with these changes he'd change and do something. He doesn't. Somehow he's still narrowminded, shallow, and extremely dense. Those top reviewers saying people giving this low ratings because of harem are not even reading... more>> what people are saying.

The MC sucks and it's as simple as that. Hell I think the harem tag is what's keeping this novel afloat. If you want more detail on what happens, check out the other low star reviews. Maybe it gets better later, but this start is horrendous.

This feels like a low quality version of Second Coming of Gluttony. If you like a novel with these tags and a story about indirect regression like this one, check out SCoG. <<less

After reading about 400+ chapters of this novel (I stopped in that Interlude of the Elf Arc to cool off my brain), I have a lot of things to say:

First, the plot:

The plot is honestly good. It's edgy and can get a bit smut. The pacing is a bit quick, and while the author may had overused the "MC subconsciously taps into the memories of his future self and defeats their enemy" crap multiple times per arc, the way it's written is good enough for me to not roll my... more>> eyes out. The plot becomes a bit dark quickly and doesn't shy away from brutal depictions. Children being fused into bloody flesh with tent**les, people being slowly eaten by large beasts with awfully descriptive processes, etc. But each arc pretty much ends in a mostly good ending and bittersweet implication.

The fights (especially the boss fights at the end of each arc) are usually the best parts. Even though you know that MC will win through some bullsh*t, it's still thrilling and buttclenching as if you know someone might die or be permanently incapacitated.

Second, the Main Character:
The Main Character, Ian, is a "mad dog" archetype. He pretty much solves 90% of his problem in the most violent and blatant way possible, thanks to the syncing of memory. And he beats up everyone regardless of gender or circumstances. To give a clarification: he cut off a noblewoman's arm and leg in the academy just because she slapped a person close to her. He's pretty metal, but also sometimes very hypocritic and sociopathic. And he can be more dense than a supermassive blackhole.

There's also Future Ian, though I call him Ian Alter. He's pretty radical and pretty much f*cks the MCs life with wacky hijinks every start of the arc by committing multiple acts of Felony involving Ian's future harem members, but each action of his has a reason, it's just that Ian Alter is so broken and sociopathic that he does it the most violent and unreasonable way possible.

Now, here is the worst part: the main problem with Ian himself isn't the personality of the character itself, but on how inconsistent the author writes the main character. Sometimes he's smart, sometimes he's dumb. Sometimes he's sharp, sometimes he's dense. Sometimes he's empathetic, sometimes he'll butcher the legs of an individual before listening to their words. Yes, the author changes the MC's personality base on his whims just to get max drama on each arc. Another clarification: despite having love letters from his harem members Fiancés from the future being thrown into his face, he f*cking questions himself if the girls who love him. That is not being dense, that is just complete and utter lack of common sense. At least this eventually stops later on, but it took the MC too long for such a simple mental gymnastic...

Third, the Characters:

No cap Saintess is the best girl. Anyone else is just mid maybe except for Elsie.

Waifu aside, the author has a..."problem" in writing actual relationship growth. I am warning you guys, 60-70% of the "relationship" developments here stem from S&M, Pet Play, and Uncomfortable bullsh*t. Minor Spoilers regarding this:

Spoiler

Seria and Elsie were pretty much conditioned into being dependent on him.

MC beat up Delphine so much (well deserved at first for the sh*t she pulled during the hunting festival) that she eventually gets trained Pavlovian style and then Stockholm (I kid you not MC literally used the Carrot and the StickAxe method and turned her into a willing pet, and MC loses his v**ginity to Delphine).

Shien/Cien (the princess in a powertrip) got mentally f*cked and guilt tripped over at the end of her introduction arc despite Ian!Alter starting the mess.

Oh and theres also Celine who was introduced at the same time as Seria and is Ian's childhood friend, but barely has a development arc, which is worse than the whole "Delphine becomes a pet" thing since she's relegated to the void lmao.

Best Girl Saintess has healthier relationship with Ian than the other girls, as she's the only girl who Ian can banter with without any uncomfortable stuff... and he f*cks it up by NEVER EVER doing a proper talk with her until much later on, leading to poor Saintess to have a drop in self-worth by the time he did have one. SAINTESS DESERVES BETTER!

Emma, despite being in a coma for the first 2 arcs, had MORE development than Celine. Despite Emma spelling it out that she LOVES the MC unconditionally, MC takes it as "Oh how great of her, she's willing to marry a Noble like me for her family".

[collapse]

All of these will work out in the end though and they all establish a willing relationship... somehow? I don't know, I tend to turn off my brain when things become so incomprehensible. Pie Falls, Everyone Eats.

Conclusion:

This novel is heavily Character-Driven. It starts off good, but later on, chapters will appear that will have you tearing your upper and lower hair off out of objective annoyance. Though I love the plot itself. I enjoyed reading this despite my gripes. I like how Ian is an imperfect person, and that the story openly points it out. Like how he
Spoiler

Parades himself internally as some kind of savior, but gets sh*t on that he doesn't even try and see how life is from the Bottom. Something that I liked from the Elf Arc where MC got humbled.

[collapse]

If you're gonna read this novel, you're gonna need to one-up your patience. Because trust me you're gonna need it.

Between this and [Main Heroines Want To Kill Me], I'll honestly prefer the latter than this one. Despite the latter being quite miserable, the returns are satisfying, the relationship dynamic is more comfortable to read than this novel's, and the MC is very consistent. <<less

This novel really captured me after a few chapters when we learn what happened from the POV of one of the heroines.

the way the descriptions visualize the story for us is superb and the way the author immerses you in his world is unlike many other novels out there.

the protagonist is special as he is basically split personality where his normal personality is determined to live up to his future personality that appears once every so often and leaves him a letter.

he's a very determined person who wants to improve... more>> and is overall a decent guy trying to do the right thing.

Waifus are top tier.

Pros:

Harem.

Chad Protagonist.

MC has a super cool side to him when his other self takes over.

Worldbuilding is top tier.

Cons:

the first few chaps are ok but after its a rollercoaster. <<less

Gotta be honest, the relationships irk me in this work

... more>>
Spoiler

Basically most of the relationships with the girls could be summed up to, guy meets a heroine, his future self comes and takes over for a moment, beats and tortures the girl until trauma seeps into her bones and she is too scared of fighting back, then they fall in love due to the respect/fear they have of him. This is basically domestic abuse tactics, how a lunatic abuses his partner until said partner no longer has the will to fight back, and I don't care that they use the excuse that his future self is not really him, seems like a cope out to remove blame form the MC while taking full atvantage of the situation

It just didn't sit well with me <<less

The Story makes very little sense. The first few chapters are okay but it quickly devolves into nonsense as the female characters turn into mindless moe blobs and the MC despite apparently being average oneshots every big name somehow. None of the fights are earned. The author keeps hyping up all the mc's opponents like they're the best of the world or whatever but the MC just keeps oneshotting everyone, with the convenient excuse that "well he got wounded" that gets cured in a chapter. Nothing ever has bad consequences... more>> for the protag, he never loses, he is never in risk. The fights suck.

It's really bad.

Also the protagonist is quite frankly just too much of a dense moron, and many of his antics make 0 sense.
Spoiler

At one point his "future self" comes back and tortures an a once-antagonist. The protag knows this and decides that the best way to cure her traumatization is to torture her further. The biggest issue is, the author doesn't write this from the perspective of "hey the MC is kinda crazy", the author writes is as if it was his only option and was the right one. Yup, had to torture that person bro. 12 year olds on this site unironically believe in sh*t like sigmas and betas so they worship Xianxia-like maniacs like this MC but it gets tiring very quickly.

[collapse]

Stuff that makes 0 sense like this are spread everywhere in the novel, where the protag acts in a manner that is absolutely insane and yet the author writes it as if it were the sole option available.

Also half the girls in the novel are antagonists-turned-gf by stockholm syndrome, which again makes no sense but hey, that's a WN for you. <<less
