My Thoughts on I’m an EX-Rank Hunter

"I’m an EX-Rank Hunter" presents an interesting premise with its ability-stealing protagonist in an alternate world. However, my experience with the initial chapters was a mixed bag, leaving me somewhat hesitant to fully embrace the story.

First Impressions

My first impression was that the pacing felt a little off. While the world-building has potential, the early chapters are heavy on dialogue and internal monologues. It felt like the author was trying to establish the protagonist's personality and the world's intricacies, but it occasionally bogged down the narrative flow.

What Works Well

One aspect I found intriguing was the author's choice in portraying the protagonist's thought processes. While some might find it verbose, I appreciate the attempt to add texture and depth to his character. The writing style, while not for everyone, does attempt to set itself apart from the typical concise narrative, which I can appreciate. This approach, if executed well, could be a unique characteristic of the story.

Areas of Concern

Unfortunately, I found the protagonist's behavior and reactions to be somewhat inconsistent with his supposed past life as a battle-hardened knight. Instead of a calm and composed demeanor, he often comes across as overly emotional, which can be jarring. The fight scenes also suffer from the same issue of excessive dialogue, making them feel less impactful and realistic. This is a crucial area that needs improvement, as action sequences are vital in a story of this genre.

Final Verdict

"I’m an EX-Rank Hunter" has the potential to be an enjoyable read, but it needs some refinement. The author's unique writing style might appeal to some, but the pacing and character consistency need to be addressed. While the world-building and ability-stealing premise are intriguing, the execution needs to be more polished for me to fully invest in the story. For now, I'm cautiously optimistic, hoping that the author will address these issues as the story progresses.
