Description

I was suddenly possessed into a romance fantasy novel where the mentally broken protagonist Rohan finds comfort and grows to love a bright and kind saint who soothes his heart. But I possessed the cursed demon sword – the very cause of the protagonist’s suffering that eventually gets sealed by the temple. “When you need a sword later, I’ll become your sword.” Making promises that couldn’t be kept, I decided to take care of the protagonist who lost everything overnight, at least until he goes to the temple. But somewhere along the way, raising him became genuine. *** “I wish Arfel would stay with me forever…” Despite being barely a whisper, Arfel could hear Rohan’s words more clearly than ever before. Somehow, their chest felt full. Though the reason for this satisfaction was unknown, they gladly accepted these feelings that came from Rohan. They poked his chubby cheeks with their fingers. This is what people seem to find cute. They kept gently pressing the squishy cheeks that gave way each time. As they kept touching his cheeks, Rohan suddenly lifted his head from their shoulder. Though he didn’t say anything, Arfel somehow felt Rohan’s gaze asking, “What about Arfel?” Arfel, who had now learned to naturally wear a faint smile like Rohan, answered: “Me too. I wish I could stay with you forever, Rohan.” You’re the only one who has meaning to me.

My Thoughts on I Became the Main Character’s Demon Sword

"I Became the Main Character’s Demon Sword" has been an interesting read so far, though not without its quirks. The premise itself is intriguing, and while the execution has some stumbles, there's enough here to keep me invested, at least for now.

First Impressions

The initial chapters hooked me with the dynamic between the MC, a powerful demon sword, and the ML, a child blessed by the gods. There's a definite "aristocratic vibe" to the MC, and his calm, apathetic demeanor, juxtaposed with his caring nature towards the ML, creates a compelling character. The early plot, focused on reaching the temple to reveal the ML's divine blessing, felt like a solid starting point.

What Works Well

I really enjoy the MC's character. The power dynamic is well-established, and the author does a good job of showing how the MC's past as a human influences his actions and inner conflicts. The pacing is generally smooth, with well-placed time skips that keep the story moving without feeling rushed. I also appreciate that the world-building doesn't immediately demonize demonic power, allowing for a more nuanced exploration of the setting.

Areas of Concern

One of my biggest issues is the MC's quick shift from being a sword to spending most of his time in human form. The premise, while interesting, feels somewhat abandoned. It feels like the author could have had the MC be something other than a sword if he was just going to be in human form almost all the time. Additionally, the focus on the MC and ML's relationship can sometimes overshadow the main plot, leading to pacing issues later on. The shift in focus from character interaction to the main plot felt a little disjointed, making the story feel awkward. Also, the worldbuilding can feel a little lacking, with some inconsistencies that pull me out of the story.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Became the Main Character's Demon Sword" is a decent read with a unique premise and compelling characters. However, it suffers from some execution issues, particularly in its worldbuilding and pacing. If you're looking for a Boys Love with a unique dynamic and don't mind some inconsistencies, this might be worth checking out.
