After the Hated Character Awakens, He Cremate Everyone

My Thoughts on After the Hated Character Awakens, He Cremate Everyone

This title definitely grabbed my attention, and after diving in, I found "After the Hated Character Awakens, He Cremate Everyone" to be a unique take on the 'cannon fodder' trope. It's a story about overcoming a traumatic past and reclaiming a tarnished reputation, but with a protagonist who's, shall we say, exceptionally gifted.

First Impressions

The premise is compelling: our MC awakens with the knowledge that he's a hated character in a novel. From that point on, he lets go of his past and focuses on building a new future. I was immediately intrigued by the idea of a protagonist who doesn't dwell on revenge but instead uses his talents to rise above his circumstances.

What Works Well

The novel is undeniably MC-centric, which I appreciated. The focus is on his journey of healing and self-improvement, with some mild face-slapping along the way. His multi-faceted talents are a major draw. He's not just good at one thing; he's a master of many, from singing and composing to painting and editing. It's this talent that allows him to overcome obstacles and impress everyone around him.

I also found the romance to be a sweet addition, even though it develops later in the story. The ML's actions are subtle but show his deep affection and support for the MC. The development of their relationship is a beautiful and healthy one, with no misunderstandings, unreasonable jealousy, or annoyance towards each other. The bond between them is mature and trusting.

Areas of Concern

While the MC's talents are impressive, they can sometimes feel a bit too good to be true. He's almost a "Gary Stu," excelling in everything he attempts. The author doesn't fully explain how he gained these skills or how he managed to attend a famous university and befriend influential people.

Final Verdict

Despite a few minor flaws, "After the Hated Character Awakens, He Cremate Everyone" is an enjoyable read. If you're looking for a story with a talented protagonist, satisfying face-slapping, and a sweet romance, this might be the novel for you. Just be prepared to suspend your disbelief and enjoy the ride!
