My Thoughts on I’ve Changed My Job From [Sage] to [Thief]
Alright, let's dive into "I’ve Changed My Job From [Sage] to [Thief]". The premise definitely grabbed my attention – a sage ditching the hero life to become a Lupin-esque thief? Intriguing! But after reading, I have mixed feelings about whether it lives up to its potential.
First Impressions
The initial hook is strong. The idea of a powerful sage trading in their goody-two-shoes image for a life of whimsical thievery is appealing. I was excited to see how the author would blend the protagonist's magical abilities with classic thief skills. It seemed like there were a lot of possibilities here for fun and engaging stories.
What Works Well
The episodic nature of the story is a plus for me. The idea of the MC going after different treasures, each with its own self-contained plot, sounds like it could offer a lot of variety and keep things fresh. I also appreciate that the protagonist starts off strong. I'm not always in the mood for a slow burn, so a competent MC from the get-go is a welcome change. It seems like it aims to be a lighthearted, fun read, and when it hits that mark, it can be quite enjoyable.
Areas of Concern
However, there are a few things that held me back. The execution seems to be lacking somewhat. For starters, the chapter length is surprisingly short. It makes it difficult to really sink into the story or get invested in the characters. I was also hoping for more focus on the "thief" aspect. While the MC steals things, it seems like his sage abilities are doing most of the work, and the planning and execution of the heists could be more fleshed out. There is also a tonal issue. It seems that the story focuses more on the sexual harassment of the guard than the actual robbery, which is not a good look.
Final Verdict
"I’ve Changed My Job From [Sage] to [Thief]" has a promising premise and some enjoyable elements, but it ultimately falls short of its potential. The short chapters, lack of focus on thieving skills, and questionable tonal choices prevent it from being a truly great read. It's an okay diversion if you're looking for something light and easy, but don't expect a masterpiece.
