After Ten Years, the Hero Party’s Hypnosis Was Broken

My Thoughts on After Ten Years, the Hero Party’s Hypnosis Was Broken

This web novel certainly grabbed my attention with its intriguing title and unique premise. The idea of a protagonist transmigrating into an erogame and using hypnosis on the hero party to avoid a bad ending definitely piqued my interest. After diving in, I found myself surprisingly invested in Rex's journey.

First Impressions

Initially, I was a little unsure what to expect, especially given the tags and the initial description. However, I quickly found that the story prioritizes plot and character development over typical erogame tropes. This was a welcome surprise, and it allowed me to appreciate the narrative on a deeper level.

What Works Well

One of the strongest aspects of this novel is its characterization. Rex, the protagonist, is intelligent, self-serving, and refreshingly proactive. He doesn't shy away from challenges; instead, he confronts them head-on. This makes him a compelling character to follow. Even better, he is self serving without being a bad person, he actually helps others!

The plot itself is fascinating, and the world-building is well-executed. The author creates a world that feels immersive and leaves you wanting more. The relationships between the characters feel genuine, and their interactions are both entertaining and meaningful. I also appreciated the author's ability to subvert expectations. For example, the dynamic between Rex and the heroines is unique, as it avoids common tropes found in "kicked out of the party" stories.

Areas of Concern

My biggest concern is the fact that the story is currently ongoing with only 29 chapters available. This makes it difficult to fully invest in the narrative, as there's no guarantee when or if it will be continued. It's a shame because the initial chapters show a lot of promise, and I would love to see where the story goes.

Final Verdict

Despite my concerns about its current status, I thoroughly enjoyed "After Ten Years, the Hero Party’s Hypnosis Was Broken." The unique premise, compelling characters, and engaging plot make it a worthwhile read. If you're looking for a fantasy novel that subverts expectations and offers a fresh perspective, I highly recommend giving this one a try. Just be prepared for the possibility that you might be left wanting more!
