My Thoughts on After Becoming a Cannon Fodder, I Bent the Villainous CEO

"After Becoming a Cannon Fodder, I Bent the Villainous CEO" is definitely a ride! With its blend of comedy, fantasy, gender bender elements, and a good dose of romance, it piqued my interest from the start. It’s the kind of story you pick up when you're in the mood for something a little bit out there, and honestly, I found myself enjoying aspects of it.

First Impressions

Initially, I was a bit hesitant. I'd seen some mixed opinions floating around, especially concerning the writing quality and potential plot holes. One reader even directly quoted the author's self-deprecating warning, which, let's be honest, isn't the most confidence-inspiring start. However, I decided to jump in anyway, keeping my expectations in check. The premise itself was intriguing enough to give it a shot.

What Works Well

Despite the initial reservations, I found some genuinely enjoyable elements. The dynamic between the MC and ML is a highlight. The ML's "green flag behavior," as one reader put it, is a definite plus. The story avoids certain pitfalls, like misogyny and homophobia, which is always a win in my book. The way the MC navigates his unexpected situation is also commendable. He's not portrayed as overly foolish, which makes him relatable and rootable. I appreciated that the story, despite its "dog-blood" potential, managed to keep things relatively mild and entertaining. It’s a good story to pass the time.

Areas of Concern

While I found the story engaging enough, I can't ignore the valid criticisms. There were mentions of translation issues, including skipped paragraphs and repeated text. These kinds of errors can definitely disrupt the reading experience. Though I understand the frustrations, I also have to appreciate the work of the translator, especially since it's often a labor of love. But the issues are there and should be noted.

Final Verdict

Overall, "After Becoming a Cannon Fodder, I Bent the Villainous CEO" is a mixed bag. It’s a story with a fun premise and engaging characters, but it's held back by some technical issues and potentially some plot inconsistencies. If you're looking for a lighthearted, no-brainer read and you're willing to overlook some flaws, you might find yourself enjoying it. Just go in with realistic expectations!
