Description

To emphasize the villain’s evil before he meets his end at the protagonist’s hands, an extra is falsely accused by his own brother, Letiyan, and dies imprisoned in the duke’s castle. That was supposed to be Vivisian’s role. But when Letiyan died, the original story was thrown into chaos. After enduring relentless torture, Vivisian no longer wished to go on living. He wanted death. But the gods kept rewinding time, pulling him back just before he could die. Then, just as he resigned himself even to death, he unexpectedly found himself sitting in the temporary duke’s seat— And taking in a child. “Take care of this baby for me.” “I’m not a baby! Don’t call me that!” “Maybe it’s that awful temper of yours, but no matter what I do, your fever won’t go down.” For now, he decides to postpone his death. Because he must find this child a real family. Not a family as broken as his own. Not the ones who stole everything from him. A true family. “Sia, I’ll find you a family.” * * * Using his abilities, Vivisian safely returns Sia to his family. And in the aftermath of his power running rampant, he believes this is finally the end for him. He even thinks he might have smiled at the very last moment. But when he opens his eyes again, he’s in his own room. A damned god’s so-called kindness has granted him one more year. And in the Patos Desert, he meets that child once again. “Vivi, you were the one who said it first. If someone lets one thing slide, the other should do the same at least once.” “…….” “I watched you die right before my eyes. So now, it’s your turn to listen to my request. …Please.” The child, now grown, begs him to live by his side. Because if Vivi saved him once, then his life belongs to him as well.

My Thoughts on Enough with Dying as an Extra

"Enough with Dying as an Extra" pulled me in with its intriguing premise and the promise of a protagonist utterly exhausted with, well, dying. The blend of adult themes, fantasy, and yaoi elements certainly sets it apart, and I was eager to see how the story unfolded.

First Impressions

Right from the start, I felt a pang of sympathy for Vivi, our main character. He's clearly been through the wringer, burdened with blame and seemingly abandoned by those who should be supporting him. The sense of weariness and resignation is palpable, creating an immediate connection. The European-inspired setting adds a layer of richness to the narrative, hinting at deeper political and social complexities.

What Works Well

The strongest aspect of this novel is the protagonist himself. Vivi's cleverness shines through, even amidst his despair. The story excels at portraying his internal struggles and his interactions with a world that seems determined to misunderstand him. The manipulative characters add a compelling layer of intrigue, making me constantly question their motives and wonder who Vivi can truly trust. The presence of gods and divine protection promises a grander scope, hinting at a destiny that Vivi might be desperately trying to avoid. The author does a great job showing how the protagonist is treated and how that has impacted him.

Areas of Concern

While the premise is captivating, I do have some reservations. The tags suggest a potentially dark and emotionally taxing journey, which might not appeal to all readers. The "hated protagonist" trope can be a double-edged sword; while it creates sympathy, it can also become frustrating if the protagonist remains passive for too long. I'm hoping to see Vivi actively challenge his circumstances and reclaim his agency as the story progresses.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Enough with Dying as an Extra" has a lot of potential. The world-building is intriguing, the protagonist is compelling, and the plot hints at a complex web of secrets and betrayals. While the darker themes and potentially frustrating character dynamics might not be for everyone, I'm invested enough to see where Vivi's journey takes him. I'm hoping for a satisfying resolution where truth prevails and Vivi finally finds some peace.
