I’m such a scrutinizer of annoying flat boastful MCs but this story is GOOD.
I squinted at the first few chapters, but he’s humbled so quickly and progressively overcomes hurdles without being overpowered. Even the cheats don’t feel unfair compared to all he’s up against.
I’m honestly impressed. There’s lots of garbage manhwas in this genre but up to 65 (and I assume further) this is worth a read.
at Arnel’s change. Sure it ‘makes sense’ with the story (because ‘I said so’ logic) but from a writing standpoint it seems like her character is just being made more conventionally attractive for the sake of being the “right” love interest to Bjorn.
I loved how unique she was before, and the duality of being both a woman and physically imposing. She kicked ass. She still does (clearly), but the choice cheapens her character to do this to her, imo. It reasserts that female characters are accessories that still need to fit into the lookism box.

Don't worry, fans of the novel were outraged as well when Aynar lost her muscles, so the author eventually went back on his choice and Aynar got her muscles back. I haven't read the novel, so I don't know when she does, but she will eventually.
This shit is tired. You introduced her as shit and now want to paint it gold. I could understand if she was conceited INSIDE and we read her thoughts about how she is obsessed about winning. But she was both LOUD and wrong (and stayed back??) and was being a bully. Publicly, like that’s actually a lot. She has no redeeming character traits and we’re not given reasons to like her but expected to warm up to her next to him???
What is it about female characters and this type of mismatched bullshit. why y’all can’t fucking WRITE
right webnovel writing generally does women sooooo fucking dirty like hello yes I'd like to report that I am too a complex and nuanced being with both positive and negative aspects to myself. oh yeah. also titties.
