My Thoughts on Even Today, the Ranker Dreams of Retirement
I've been diving into web novels for a while now, and "Even Today, the Ranker Dreams of Retirement" definitely offers a unique experience. It’s a story that leans heavily into comedy and a carefree protagonist, which is a refreshing change of pace from the often serious tone of the genre.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise: a ridiculously overpowered female lead (FMC) who just wants to slack off after years of hard work. The idea of a ranker trying to avoid responsibility in a world full of dungeons and monsters? Sign me up! The early chapters definitely delivered on this promise, introducing a world with game-like elements and a protagonist determined to live life on her own terms.
What Works Well
The humor is a major strength of this novel. The author does a great job of putting the protagonist in absurd situations, often subverting expectations. I found myself chuckling at the various shenanigans she gets into while trying to maintain her "retired" lifestyle. The supporting characters are also quite memorable, adding to the overall comedic effect. I particularly enjoyed the dynamic between the MC and her regressor brother, who seems to think he's in a much more serious novel than she is. The lack of romance is also a plus for me; it allows the story to focus on the protagonist's friendships and her quirky personality.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the lighthearted nature of the story, I can see how some readers might find the protagonist's lack of motivation frustrating. Her dedication to laziness, even in the face of danger, can come across as a bit tone-deaf at times. Additionally, the "hiding her abilities" trope, while common in this genre, felt a little overused. Given how ridiculously overpowered she is, it sometimes felt like the story was artificially prolonging conflicts.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Even Today, the Ranker Dreams of Retirement" is a fun and engaging read, especially if you're looking for a lighthearted comedy with a strong female lead. While the protagonist's lack of motivation and the overreliance on certain tropes can be drawbacks, the humor and quirky characters make it a worthwhile experience. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good laugh and doesn't mind a protagonist who prioritizes relaxation over saving the world.
