Description

The reason for my dismissal was a love affair with Al, the leader of the party. It was a shame because it was a pretty good workplace, but I was a grown adult (around 30). I quietly received my retirement money and said goodbye to the friends who had taken care of me for the past three years. I kept the fact that I was a saint from another world a secret until the very end. “Well, I guess it can’t be helped now that I’m fired.

My Thoughts on Becoming the Wind of Grandir The Socially Disabled Saint Who Got Fired from Her Party, But She Holds No Grudges and Enjoys a Slow Life
Okay, folks, let's dive into "Becoming the Wind of Grandir." With a title that long, I had high hopes for a whimsical and relaxing read. The premise, a saint kicked out of her party embracing a slow life, certainly piqued my interest. But, after venturing a few chapters in, I'm left feeling a bit...disappointed.
First Impressions
The initial hook – a socially awkward saint finding solace in a peaceful existence – is undeniably charming. I envisioned a heartwarming tale of self-discovery, perhaps with a touch of gentle humor and the joys of rural life. The "no grudges" aspect also suggested a protagonist with a refreshing level of maturity.
What Works Well
Honestly, the idea behind the story is the strongest point. The concept of a saintly character, often portrayed as flawless and powerful, being "socially disabled" and opting for a quiet life is genuinely unique. There's potential here for exploring themes of self-acceptance, finding happiness outside of societal expectations, and the value of simple living. The promise of a female protagonist focusing on domestic affairs and building friendships also appealed to me.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the execution seems to be where things fall apart. The narrative feels disjointed, making it difficult to become truly invested. I struggled to follow the timeline, and the transitions between scenes often felt abrupt. Characters beyond the MC felt underdeveloped, more like plot devices than fully realized individuals. I found myself wishing for more depth and nuance in their interactions and motivations.
Another significant issue seems to be the translation. The quality appears inconsistent, which can be jarring and disrupt the reading experience. This inconsistency makes it hard to know if some of the narrative problems are due to the author's writing style or translation errors. Continuity glitches, such as character backgrounds changing unexpectedly, further contribute to the confusion.
Final Verdict
While the premise of "Becoming the Wind of Grandir" is undeniably appealing, the current execution leaves much to be desired. The disjointed narrative and inconsistent translation significantly hinder my enjoyment. I'm hoping future chapters can address these issues and fully realize the story's potential. As it stands, I find it difficult to recommend this novel.
