It’s Not That Kind of Malicious Broadcast Novel Review

My Thoughts on It’s Not That Kind of Malicious Broadcast

"It’s Not That Kind of Malicious Broadcast" is a web novel that took me on a wild ride. It's a blend of comedy, fantasy, and gender bender elements centered around a protagonist who finds herself in a new body and a new world of online gaming. While it has its flaws, the humor and unique premise kept me entertained.

First Impressions

Initially, I was a bit disoriented. The story throws you right into the action, and it took me a few chapters to fully grasp the world and the mechanics of the game. The protagonist, now a beautiful woman, streams herself playing a DOTA-like game called KoK, specializing in the Rogue class. Right away, her playstyle raises eyebrows, leading to accusations of hacking and plenty of trolling.

What Works Well

The heart of this novel is undoubtedly the protagonist's interactions with her chat and other streamers. Her chaotic personality and unpredictable actions make for some truly hilarious moments. I found myself laughing out loud at her antics and the reactions of her viewers. The author's writing style is well suited for this comedic tone, and the characters that she interacts with are well-written.

The slice-of-life aspect is also a strong point. The novel explores the protagonist's internal journey as she comes to terms with her new identity and the grounding she finds in her new reality. The plot isn’t overly complex, and that’s a strength. It allows you to focus on the character interactions and the protagonist's growth.

Areas of Concern

Some readers have found the story lacking in depth. It's true that the plot isn't intricate, and the "Rogue Revival Movement" might not resonate with everyone. The gender bender element, while present, isn't a major focus, which might disappoint some readers looking for a more prominent exploration of that theme.

Final Verdict

Despite its shortcomings, "It’s Not That Kind of Malicious Broadcast" is an enjoyable read, especially if you're looking for a lighthearted and humorous story. The protagonist's trolling antics and the entertaining interactions with her chat make it a worthwhile experience. While it might not be a Michelin-star dish, it's a satisfying snack that will leave you smiling. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys comedy, slice-of-life, and a bit of gaming. I think it deserves a solid 4/5 stars.
