Cannon Fodder is Always Lucky E

My Thoughts on Cannon Fodder is Always Lucky E

"Cannon Fodder is Always Lucky E" promised a fluffy, transmigration story, and for the most part, it delivered. As someone always on the lookout for a light read between heavier novels, I decided to give this completed short story a try. I went in expecting a simple plot and a sweet romance, and that's pretty much what I got, though with a few caveats.

First Impressions

The premise is intriguing: a cute protagonist tasked with being cannon fodder in various worlds, only to accidentally capture the protagonist's heart. The initial setup had me hooked, especially the unique system dynamic. The MC's misunderstandings, particularly regarding who was the gong and shou, were genuinely funny.

What Works Well

The core of the story is undeniably sweet. The relationship between the MC and ML develops naturally, and their interactions are heartwarming. The MC's character is endearing – hardworking, a little naive, and genuinely good-hearted. I also appreciated the lighthearted tone and lack of unnecessary drama. It's a perfect palate cleanser if you're looking for something without angst or complicated plotlines. The ending, though perhaps a bit rushed, provided a satisfying conclusion to their story.

Areas of Concern

My main issue, and it's a significant one, is the translation. While I appreciate the effort, the English is often clunky and, at times, difficult to understand. Sentences are sometimes structured oddly, and the literal translations can obscure the intended meaning. This definitely detracts from the overall reading experience. While the story's simplicity helps to mitigate this somewhat, a proper edit would significantly improve the novel. Also, while the story is cute, some readers may find it a bit too simple. There isn't much depth to the characters or the world-building, and the plot is fairly straightforward. If you're looking for something with more substance, this might not be for you. Some may also find the ending to be confusing.

Final Verdict

Despite its flaws, "Cannon Fodder is Always Lucky E" is an enjoyable, fluffy read. If you're willing to overlook the translation issues and are in the mood for something short, sweet, and uncomplicated, this might be right up your alley. Just be prepared for a bit of confusion along the way. I'd give it a solid 3.5/5 stars.
