I Became the Narrow-Eyed Character in the Little Prince Game Novel Review

My Thoughts on I Became the Narrow-Eyed Character in the Little Prince Game

Alright, let's dive into "I Became the Narrow-Eyed Character in the Little Prince Game." I went in with a healthy dose of curiosity, given the mixed bag of opinions floating around. It's certainly a unique premise, and after spending some time with it, here's what I think.

First Impressions

The initial chapters definitely throw a lot at you. There's a rapid introduction of female characters, which might feel a bit overwhelming for some readers. I can see why some might worry about the story devolving into a generic harem, but I decided to stick around and see where it went. The whole "transmigrated into a game as the final boss" trope is one I usually enjoy, so I was hoping for a fun ride.

What Works Well

One thing that really grabbed me was the MC's personality. He's not your typical goody-two-shoes protagonist. He's a bit of a bastard, sure, but in a way that's genuinely funny and engaging. His internal monologues and dialogues are often hilarious. I also appreciate the unique twist of characters being inspired by "The Little Prince." It adds a layer of intrigue to the familiar fantasy academy setting. The author's writing style, which I recognized from "Depressed Kendo," is also solid and easy to get into. I found myself quickly invested in seeing how the MC would navigate his role as the narrow-eyed, often misunderstood character.

Areas of Concern

I do have some reservations, though. The constant POV switches, repeating the same scenes from different perspectives, can feel a bit redundant and slow down the pacing. Also, the MC's "Composed and Smiling Trait" and the "Lies" ability, while interesting, sometimes lead to contrived misunderstandings that can get a little frustrating. I also noticed that while the MC is entertaining, the heroines are sometimes reduced to generic caricatures.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Became the Narrow-Eyed Character in the Little Prince Game" is an enjoyable read, especially if you're a fan of overpowered MCs and stories with a comedic undertone. The characters are endearing, and the world is interesting. However, the pacing issues, repetitive scenes, and occasional character inconsistencies are worth keeping in mind. It's a solid 4/5 for me – entertaining but with room for improvement.
