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.”

The novel started good, everything was going pretty well and I was enjoying the content so far... till the author resorted to memory loss to move the plot forward.
Memory loss itself isn't a bad plot device but it is a very tricky device to use and it can lead to pretty big inconsistency in the novel if you aren't very careful and decide not to erase all the memory. Did the author manged to pull it off?
Unfortunately no. You can't make a first person narrator and show us that he is indeed a quite thinker within the first volumes and even after he lost his memory, only to cancel out this fact and use it only as the author needs it.
Spoilers ahead.
The sun knight when recomposing himself after losing from memory is still shown to have his insightful thoughts but only when the author wants it. Other instances make him look dumb and the author doesn't realizes it.
I will also comment on why I stopped exactly on this chapter later.
First, the sun knight upon waking up hasn't really forgotten everything but conveniently only the places names and the fact that he was a sun knight (and every thing related to his powers but not his powers and the church) and decides to embark with the adventurures that saved him for money, which I don't remember him being so clingy to but apparently he was.
With no explanation, that we will probably get who knows how many chapters later on, for the losing memory as well, a magical girl that appears from nothing bring him to the Pegasus, coincidentally the horse he was searching for to get the money. Now, because we know he didn't forget how to be insightful (as to have inner thoughts regarding the current situation), he already should have doubted how these things went. He dumbly brushed it off as the girl being an illusion... But never mind this. We follow his escape from the city he was in as he discovers that the pegasus is way more valuable than what they were trying to sell. There is a slight problem when they are trying to escape and they encounter with the Ice knight. Ice, after discovering that he was sun, decides to get captured as a hostage.
Moving forward, Ice reveals that sun is indeed sun to him but he starts to doubt it.
Now lets analyze the problem and what Sun should have thought.
1) Why would one of the twelve knight say willingly that someone was their leader? What is there to gain for Ice to trick him into thinking that he was their leader?
And the worst thing is that this line of thought continues after Ice obeys to him and Sun discovers that Ice could have caused way more damaged to him than he did.
Lets pretend that the author thinks we are s*upid and Sun thought that he could be tricked into going to jail (still only believable till Ice starts obediently answering his questions which is immediately)
2) Sure one person could be lying but if I am really the Sun knight then people in this particular kingdom said to be under the influence of church of god light must recognize me. Shall we go there?
This line of thought never comes to his mind.
He stops to subdue the other holy knight (Blaze) that is chasing him to retrieve Ice.
There is also no inherent problem with this except that Sun decides to use a disguise. Now it is understadable if no one could recognize him but that was not the case as two members of his own adventure party was already in the enemy's troop (previously failed plan)
What is the other problems?
His money clingy personality he never really had stays but somehow his 200% certain victory or else I won't do it philosophy doesn't, leading to him to set a series of traps.
Lets also toss this aside... if he wasn't sure of victory why did he disguise himself? If he wanted to know who he was wouldn't his line of thought be:
'If this ice guy is telling the truth, they will immediately recognize me else, they will attack me' Better the first case, but I am prepared also for the second. '
Lets ignore this too.
He attacked them. With surprise of everyone and even the reader, while being protected by the holy shield, the archer girl first shoot him (they didn't know he was sun yet so she was actually shooting at her adventurer companion) and then she was actually able to damage him. The same shield that was able to withstand wall crashing, bear stomping, punching and slashes was broken by an arrow.
Sun was startled and failed in his mission to subdue Blaze, and was in the brink of being recognized by Blaze, the other holy knight, except... he lost consciousness in that exact moment and next chapter he is saved and we don't know how.
Also forgot to mention that Sun, previously disguised, actually asks Blaze if he was the sun knight? After he disguised...
Get disguised to be x
Ask the knight if he is y
Expect the knight to say he is y?
Doubt the other knight (the hostage knight) because, in his disguised form, he was not recognized?
Another instace of the author dumbing the character. Lets continue...
The previously mentioned girl that gets him a pegasus returns in his mind. He is saved somehow and we don't know and he assumes she saved him but never asks why or how and multiple times the author showed us that his doubful mind is still there but conveniently is left out when he wants the reader to be dumb...
So this magical girl tasks him to retrieve an item and he without any meaninful reason decides that is the course to go through as that item may help him solve his memory issue... based on what? Nothing. He is naturally a holy gatherer and he notices it but the girl gives him a necromancer book and he doesn't even question it and reads it completely and learns the spells.
After this chapter, Ice obeys him completely and his is still doubtful because... the girl that led him to a convenient pegasus and that gave him a necromancy book while he knows he might be a holy knight (he himself said there was 50% chance) that shouldn't use dark magicand is tasking him to go into a particular dark region to retrieve a mysterious item says to doubt everyone.
He somehow becomes an evil character because of the msyterious item (we know what it is) that absorbs darkness even though it seems he didn't change much and he decides to throw Ice into the dragon's lair to be eaten, after Ice saved him. Blaze clearly also recognizes him as the sun knight, the sorry for the term, now made ret*rd by the author, still is doubtful and tells Balze to go save himself the other knight.
Until now, I beared all the inconsistency created by this memory loss and was even willing to accept this evil-not really personality of his but when there is no reason to doubt anything more and he still doubts, and the reason I dropped this, and the reasons that made him go back and actually save the two knights are the two female adventurers that betrayed him, I couldn't bear it anymore. It was not himself deciding things because he heard that he was the one to say that the twelve holy knight must never abandon any of the twelve holy knight (at this point he already had flashbacks of him being the sun knight but he is still doubtful) but because of random 2 girls that said nothing but that he had to save the two knights...
What a waste of time when the things you are enjoying are treated and ruined like this.
