I’m Not a Prophet, I’m a Fortune Teller! Novel Review

My Thoughts on I’m Not a Prophet, I’m a Fortune Teller!

Okay, so I dove into "I’m Not a Prophet, I’m a Fortune Teller!" with a healthy dose of curiosity, mostly because the premise sounded just wild enough to be interesting. A reincarnation story with a gender bender twist and fortune-telling? Sign me up! After reading a good chunk of it, I definitely have some thoughts.

First Impressions

Initially, the story grabbed me. The idea of someone reincarnating with knowledge of the future and using it to… well, fortune tell, is definitely a fun concept. The early chapters set up the MC's situation well, hinting at the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. I was ready for a clever, strategic protagonist to make the most of this second chance.

What Works Well

The humor is definitely a strong point. The author knows how to inject comedic moments, especially when it comes to the reactions of the viewers during the MC's fortune-telling streams. Those interactions are pure gold and kept me chuckling throughout. Also, the family dynamics, while a bit… eccentric, do add a layer of warmth to the story. There's a clear sense of familial love that shines through, even amidst the chaos.

Areas of Concern

Now, here's where things get a bit tricky. While the premise is intriguing, I found myself questioning the MC's decision-making at times. Given the character's supposed intelligence from their previous life, some of the choices felt a little… less than brilliant. It created a slight disconnect for me. And while I appreciate the family's involvement, some of their actions felt a bit inconsistent, almost like plot devices rather than genuine character development. For example, the mother character flip-flopping on the streaming idea felt a little too convenient for the plot.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I’m Not a Prophet, I’m a Fortune Teller!" is a fun, lighthearted read with a unique premise. If you're looking for a story that doesn't take itself too seriously and is filled with comedic moments, this might be right up your alley. However, if you're seeking a meticulously plotted narrative with consistently logical character behavior, you might find yourself a bit disappointed. I'd say give it a shot, but keep your expectations in check. It's a decent way to spend some time, but not the most polished gem in the web novel world.
