I Am Not Really Related

My Thoughts on I Am Not Really Related

This web novel, "I Am Not Really Related," definitely took me on a ride. With its blend of action, adventure, and fantasy elements, it promised a lot, and for the most part, it delivered. The premise alone – a Naruto fanfiction with a unique twist – was enough to pique my interest, and I found myself diving in headfirst.

First Impressions

The initial draw for me was the Naruto arc. The idea of an MC born from a Tobirama experiment, combining his blood with Izuna's, felt like a bold move. I was immediately curious to see how the author would handle such a delicate concept within the established Naruto universe.

What Works Well

I particularly enjoyed the portrayal of Tobimaru. The author seems to have a solid grasp on the character, bringing him to life in a way that felt authentic and compelling. The MC's overpowered nature is also a fun element, and it's clear the author had a reason for it, even if the execution felt a little rushed at times. I also liked the world-skipping aspect, even if it felt a little fast paced. The action and adventure were constant and kept me interested.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the novel overall, there were a few things that gave me pause. The transition between arcs felt somewhat abrupt. I felt like the time skips, while necessary to explain the MC's power, didn't fully contribute to the richness of the world-building. I also felt like some details were glossed over for the sake of progression.

Final Verdict

Despite some minor hiccups, "I Am Not Really Related" is an enjoyable read, especially if you're a fan of Naruto fanfiction with a unique twist. The author's creativity shines through, and the overpowered MC makes for some entertaining action sequences. While the pacing could be smoother and the world-building more fleshed out, the overall experience is positive. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, fast-paced adventure with a dash of familiar characters and settings.
