My Thoughts on I Became a Monster in a Novel
"I Became a Monster in a Novel" certainly has an intriguing premise. The reincarnation-as-a-monster trope is always a fun starting point, and the added game elements and level system promise a satisfying power progression. However, my experience with the initial chapters has been a bit of a mixed bag.
First Impressions
Right off the bat, the translation quality is a significant hurdle. It's not unreadable, but it definitely requires some effort to parse at times, which can detract from the overall enjoyment. The initial setup feels a little rushed, like we're thrown into the world without a lot of context. It might have benefitted from a more gradual introduction to the world and its rules.
What Works Well
Despite the translation issues, the core story has potential. The protagonist's approach to survival is clever. I appreciate the strategic use of level-up points, saving them for skills that will be crucial in upcoming battles rather than blindly min-maxing. This adds a layer of tactical depth that keeps me engaged. I also find the protagonist's internal conflict interesting. He's a monster, but he doesn't necessarily want to act like one, which sets him up for some potentially compelling moral dilemmas.
Areas of Concern
The protagonist's shift in tactics around chapter 9 raises a few eyebrows. While the desire to level up quickly is understandable, the sudden adoption of "suicidal risky tactics" feels a bit jarring and inconsistent with his initial cautious approach. Also, the protagonist's almost immediate desire to help humans, despite being a creature they would likely kill on sight, could lead to some frustrating "unappreciated hero" tropes down the line. It's a delicate balance to strike, and I hope the author can navigate it effectively.
Final Verdict
"I Became a Monster in a Novel" has a lot of promise, but it's not without its flaws. The translation needs improvement, and some of the character's choices feel a bit questionable. However, the strategic gameplay, the moral complexities, and the potential for a compelling story are enough to keep me interested. I'm cautiously optimistic that it will develop into a good read, but it definitely requires some patience and a willingness to overlook some rough edges. I'd give it a tentative 3 out of 5 stars.
