Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.I am a knight. To be precise, I am the Church of the God of Light’s Sun Knight.
The Church of the God of Light worships and serves the God of Light, and theirs’ one of the three largest religions on this continent.
As the whole continent knows, the Church of the God of Light has the Twelve Holy Knights, and each one has his own unique personality and features.
To be the Sun Knight is to have shining golden hair, sky blue eyes, a compassionate nature, and a brilliant smile.
“The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”
I must have said that line at least a million times in my time as the Sun Knight.
However, the greatest wish in my life is to be able to stand before the entire continent and roar, “Damn your ‘the whole continent knows’! This Sun Knight just doesn’t feel like smiling! I just don’t want to forgive these human tr*shes! I just want to pepper my sentences with ‘f***’!”
Unfortunately, even to this day, I continue to wear a smile as I say, “The benevolent God of Light will forgive your sins.”

When it comes to the real plot, it started good and ended awesome. I'm in awe of Yu Wo's antics where she turned the greatest Sun Knight into a Demon King.
- 'Dude, where are the 5 stars?' you may ask right away.
'It doesn't deserve it.' I respond. Some novels get higher rating because they attract a particular audience- more 'fanatics' means higher (excessively so) ratings. This could be my 'disclaimer' for a bulk of overpraised 'fluffy appeal' work- where the content is more image (usually cutesy) focused, and 'writing issues' are unseen/forgiven without fail.
I guess you can say this is a 'turn your brain off before reading' kind of story, which isn't the kind of writing that I'd give 5 stars...
I didn't expect a lot, but I was quickly shown a lot I didn't expect. I honestly was thinking I was reading the wrong story for a bit because 'no way should this be rated 5 stars by so many'. Then I double checked, then realized it was a 'fluffy appeal' work, and resigned myself to the fact it was over-rated 'because cute'.
Ok, that out of the way... The GOOD:- This is actually somewhat creative and mostly interesting.
- Some interpersonal character dynamics are novel, and present some interesting displays of 'image' vs 'reality'.
- From what I can tell, the translators did a great job- especially with annotations. Considering the style of writing, I'd daresay they likely even improved the quality while acting as editors.
The Bad:Oh- you know pro-wrestling is staged, right?
- Doing 'one-off, for lols' jokes which actually develop world canon is super-sloppy nonsense. The big, ongoing 'carrot & stick' schtick of the story seems to be that they (the holy knights) are 'huge, respectable, idolized foundations of society, responsible for setting role models and peacekeeping the society', whle at the same time they are 'paid sh*t compared to everyone, are constantly bullied/pressured by everyone, have a bunch of in-fighting with no mediation, and have to provide for their own retirement' because somehow that makes sense.
'All work, almost no reward'?- yes, it's comedy, but even for comedy, it's a bit much.
- Lots of convenient 'people who do their job badly' and 'corruption, though we're supposed to do something about that'. Again, 'comedy'- but the imbalance of 'do all this for us', vs 'we'll turn on you in a second' makes the story less acceptable to anyone who dares to ask the question 'Why does Sun put up with this shit?' (not to mention 'how the hell could this kingdom possibly survive for so long?'
The Different:- Some of the 'nuanced speak' is clever (where one thing is said, while it's 'subtitled' to translate into it's actual meaning).
- There are some interesting ideas here and there which could go somewhere, though it doesn't seem like the author is doing more than adding random stuff on impulse.
Overall: In fairness, I've read too little to say with any certainty 'How good this actually is'. I posted this early because there are way too many 'this is great' reviews, and it's not fair to people expecting it to actually be that good. I can see it being 'over-praised because cute', and can even see people overlooking the number of flaws it has which makes it more of a challenge to read. If you think I over-analyzed this, or expected too much/didn't understand why it's funny (etc.) - just jump to one of the fluffy 'this was great' reviews which dominate- they've got it locked down. In reality, this story has issues. I honestly don't think it's bad, but 'in fairness', some of the 'writing style' choices of the author made, make it less than 'great'. I will try to read more in the hopes that it gets better. Feel free to PM me if you know it will and want to encourage me, or you know it won't and want to save me wasting my time.
