Luggage Carrier Who Abandoned by the Hero’s Party in the Dungeon’s Deepest Part, Being Possessed by the Strongest Dragon Slayer (Age of Death: 24)

My Thoughts on Luggage Carrier Who Abandoned by the Hero’s Party in the Dungeon’s Deepest Part, Being Possessed by the Strongest Dragon Slayer (Age of Death: 24)

This title is quite the mouthful, isn't it? But beyond the length, "Luggage Carrier..." presents an interesting premise: a seemingly weak character gets a major power boost via possession and has to deal with the fallout. After diving in, I found it to be a mixed bag, with some genuinely exciting moments weighed down by a few shortcomings.

First Impressions

The initial chapters definitely set a somber tone. We're introduced to a protagonist who's down on her luck, a stark contrast to the power she eventually wields. I appreciated this grounding; it made her subsequent growth feel more earned, even if it was a bit of a sudden shift. The presence of a despicable character early on, one who abuses their power, immediately gave me someone to root against and heightened my anticipation for the MC's eventual rise.

What Works Well

The fight scenes are where this story truly shines. The author's descriptions are engaging, and I found myself easily swept up in the action. The concept of a 'weak to strong' protagonist is a classic for a reason, and the possession aspect adds a unique twist. It's satisfying to watch the MC overcome challenges, especially after her initial powerless state. Despite some issues, I found the story easy to follow, and its relatively short length (93 chapters) means it doesn't overstay its welcome.

Areas of Concern

While the action is a strong point, the character motivations and romance felt a bit underdeveloped. The driving force behind the dragon-slaying felt a bit generic. I also found the romance to be somewhat forced, lacking the depth and nuance that would make it truly compelling. Some characters also felt like they were missing something, and the villain's motivations were a little weak.

Final Verdict

"Luggage Carrier..." is a decent read, especially if you're new to web novels or looking for something action-packed and relatively short. While the character development and romance could use some work, the engaging fight scenes and satisfying "weak to strong" progression make it an enjoyable experience overall. I'd recommend it with the caveat that it's not a masterpiece, but a fun and easy read.
