Befriending The Most Powerful Person Novel Review

My Thoughts on Befriending The Most Powerful Person

"Befriending The Most Powerful Person" is quite the ride, a rollercoaster of quick transmigration, yandere love interests, and a protagonist just trying to get through his missions. Overall, I found it an enjoyable, albeit flawed, experience.

First Impressions

Jumping into this novel, I was immediately struck by the fast-paced nature of the plot. The MC, Shao Ci, is thrown into different worlds with the task of befriending the most powerful person, and things escalate quickly. Some found the initial premise a bit bewildering, particularly how quickly the male leads fall for Shao Ci. I can see where they're coming from – it does feel a tad rushed at times.

What Works Well

The novel shines in its unique world-hopping scenarios and the variety of its "targets." Each arc presents a fresh setting and a new set of challenges for Shao Ci. I particularly enjoyed the author's creativity in crafting these worlds, from zombie apocalypses to interstellar conflicts. Many readers praise the novel for its focus on character interactions, particularly the ML's, and the overall romantic dynamic. The MC is a "darling cinnamon roll" with a weakness for food, making him quite endearing.

Areas of Concern

While the fast pace can be exciting, it also contributes to some of the novel's weaknesses. Some arcs felt underdeveloped, and the ending was abrupt and unsatisfying for me. I understand the frustration of those who wanted more closure in each world. Also, the system, which is supposed to aid the MC, often felt more like a hindrance, pushing him into unwanted situations. Some found the MC's passive nature frustrating, wishing he would stand up for himself more.

Final Verdict

"Befriending The Most Powerful Person" is a unique and entertaining read, especially if you enjoy quick transmigration stories with dark romance elements. While it has its flaws, the engaging plot and interesting characters make it worth checking out. I'd recommend going in with a lighthearted attitude and not taking everything too seriously. Just be mindful of the potentially triggering content and be prepared for an abrupt ending.
