My Thoughts on I’ve Been Reincarnated as Son of a Mastermind Family, Ignored the Original Story to Become Independent
This web novel had a premise that immediately grabbed my attention: reincarnation, a complex family, and a protagonist determined to forge his own path. I dove in hoping for a clever twist on the genre, but my experience was a bit of a mixed bag.
First Impressions
The initial chapters were intriguing. The concept of a protagonist reborn into a mastermind family, actively choosing to deviate from the original storyline, held a lot of promise. I was eager to see how he would navigate the challenges and ripple effects of his decisions. The world-building seemed decent, and the setup had me hooked.
What Works Well
The early focus on the protagonist's independence and his attempts to build a life outside the predetermined narrative were definitely a strong point. The crafting aspect added a layer of depth, and I appreciated the attempts at exploring complex family relationships. There were moments where the author created a genuine sense of intrigue, especially regarding the protagonist's impact on the original story's timeline.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, my enthusiasm waned as the story progressed. I found myself increasingly frustrated with the character development, particularly the female characters. Their portrayals often felt stereotypical and, at times, quite grating. The narrative felt somewhat disjointed, with villains appearing shallow and plot points seemingly introduced solely to showcase the protagonist's strength. While some might enjoy this power fantasy aspect, it ultimately detracted from the overall narrative for me. The protagonist's actions felt a bit inconsistent, and his supposed cleverness didn't always translate into well-thought-out plans.

Final Verdict
"I’ve Been Reincarnated as Son of a Mastermind Family, Ignored the Original Story to Become Independent" has a compelling core concept, but the execution ultimately falls short. While the initial premise and world-building held promise, the issues with character development, plot coherence, and certain thematic choices left me feeling disappointed. It's not a terrible read, and some readers might find enjoyment in the power fantasy elements and crafting aspects, but it wasn't quite to my taste. I'd recommend approaching this one with cautious optimism.
