My Thoughts on I Became the Narrow-Eyed Henchman of the Evil Boss
Alright, buckle up, because "I Became the Narrow-Eyed Henchman of the Evil Boss" is quite a ride! It's a story that throws you headfirst into a cyberpunk-meets-magic world with a protagonist who's just trying to not let the world end. My overall impression? It's a fun, flawed, but ultimately engaging read.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the unique premise. A transmigrator, Orthes, stuck as the right-hand man to a "villainous" boss, Carisia, in a world that feels like a gritty blend of Warhammer 40k and Cyberpunk 2077 with a dash of magic? Sign me up! The early chapters definitely hooked me with the world-building and the sheer absurdity of Orthes' situation.
What Works Well
The world-building is, without a doubt, the strongest aspect of this novel. The author has crafted a detailed and intriguing world where magic and technology coexist, and even clash, in fascinating ways. I found myself constantly wanting to learn more about the history, the factions, and the intricate power system. The characters are also quite memorable, even if their development feels a bit shallow at times. Orthes, with his narrow eyes and talent for being misunderstood, is a compelling protagonist, and his dynamic with his boss is definitely a highlight. I also appreciated the humor, which often arises from the constant misunderstandings surrounding Orthes' actions.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the story, I can't ignore some of the criticisms. The translation can feel a bit clunky at times, with some sentences reading awkwardly. This can be distracting, especially when the story introduces a lot of new terms and concepts. Also, the plot heavily relies on misunderstandings, which, while initially funny, can become tiresome after a while. I also found the action scenes to be somewhat lacking, often building up to a climax that doesn't quite deliver. Finally, the frequent POV shifts, while adding depth, can also be confusing if you aren't paying close attention.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "I Became the Narrow-Eyed Henchman of the Evil Boss" is a worthwhile read, especially if you're a fan of cyberpunk, magic, and stories with a healthy dose of humor and intrigue. The unique world-building and the dynamic between the MC and his boss kept me hooked, even when the plot felt a bit convoluted. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars, with the hope that the author will address some of the translation and pacing issues in future chapters.
