My Thoughts on Artificial Demon King – I’ve Been Living a Lazy Life Using High Technology, and for Some Reason I’ve Been Called the Demon Lord (T_T)
First Impressions
Okay, so "Artificial Demon King" has a title that screams "isekai shenanigans," and the premise definitely delivers on that front. A lazy protagonist, high technology in a fantasy world, and accidental demon lord status? Sign me up! Or at least, that's what I thought going in. The overall rating tempered my expectations a bit, but I was still hoping for some lighthearted fun.
What Works Well
The core concept is undeniably appealing. The blend of sci-fi and fantasy elements, particularly the "high technology" aspect, has the potential to create some hilarious situations and unique world-building. The promise of misunderstandings leading to the MC being hailed as a demon lord also sounds like a recipe for comedic gold. The tags themselves are also quite appealing. It seems like it has a wide variety of genres, and can appeal to a wide audience.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, execution seems to be where this novel stumbles. The writing quality is a significant issue. I found the prose to be clunky and awkward at times, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. There's a sense that the narrative jumps around without a clear flow, almost like following a train of thought that's constantly being interrupted. This disjointedness makes it hard to connect with the characters and the overall plot. The translation also seems to be a major detractor, so the original work could potentially be better than what is translated here.
Final Verdict
"Artificial Demon King" has a lot of potential, but the current state of the writing and translation holds it back considerably. While the premise is intriguing and the comedic elements show promise, the execution needs significant improvement. I'd recommend approaching this one with caution, and perhaps waiting to see if future translations address the current issues.
