I Eat Poison And Make Potion Novel Review

My Thoughts on I Eat Poison And Make Potion

First Impressions

"I Eat Poison And Make Potion" immediately grabbed my attention with its unique premise. A protagonist who thrives on poison and uses it to create potions? That's a hook! The initial chapters promised a blend of action, adventure, and fantasy with a dash of romance, and I was eager to dive in. The story starts off with a clear underdog feeling, which is always something I enjoy.

What Works Well

The world-building is interesting, and I found myself enjoying the game-like elements woven into the narrative, such as the hunter system and skill progression. The action sequences are well-paced, and the protagonist's determination is definitely a driving force that kept me reading. The alchemy aspect is also a major draw, and I found myself wanting to know more about the different types of poisons and potions he could create. The author does a great job of keeping the reader engaged with constant progression and world building.

Areas of Concern

However, as I progressed, I couldn't shake the feeling that the protagonist's abilities were a bit...overwhelming. It felt like he was good at everything. Poison eating, alchemy, fighting, medicine...it was a lot to take in and, at times, detracted from the depth of any single skill. I feel like it would have been a much stronger story if the author had focused on one or two of the protagonist's skills and developed them more fully.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Eat Poison And Make Potion" is an entertaining read with a lot of potential. While the protagonist's overwhelming abilities and some questionable decision-making held it back from being truly great, the unique premise, engaging world-building, and fast-paced action make it a worthwhile experience for those looking for a fun and easy read. I'd recommend it with the caveat that you should be prepared to suspend your disbelief at times.
