My Thoughts on No More Thug Life, I’m Playing Music
This web novel certainly took me on a ride. "No More Thug Life, I'm Playing Music" promised a blend of genres, and it largely delivered, though perhaps not always in the ways I initially expected. It's a completed story, which is always a bonus, and the translation is ongoing, so you can dive in without fear of an abrupt halt.
First Impressions
Going in, I anticipated a fairly straightforward story about a possessor protagonist, someone overpowered who would breeze through challenges. And, in many ways, that’s what I got. Our MC has the classic package: good looks, a tragic backstory, musical genius, industry connections, and fighting skills. He's practically a Mary Sue, but make it male and gritty. However, I quickly realized that the initial impression was just the surface.
What Works Well
The real strength of this novel lies in its characters. I was particularly impressed by the character growth, especially that of the protagonist. Seeing him evolve and confront his past was compelling. The author creates multi-faceted characters, each with their own motivations and shades of grey. Nobody is purely good or evil, and that complexity added depth to the narrative. The plot twist at the end was a gut-punch, but in the best way possible. It reframed the entire story and left me reeling. Even minor characters, like the psychologists and the seemingly abusive mother, had hidden depths that were slowly revealed.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the story overall, the plot, at times, felt a bit drawn out. The revenge aspect, in particular, could have been paced better. The author doesn't always delve into the nitty-gritty of the MC's hard work, often glossing over the practice and dedication required to reach his level of skill.

The characters are the highlight, each with their own motivations and backstories that contribute to the overall narrative. If you're willing to invest the time, you'll be rewarded with a complex and engaging story that goes beyond the typical OP protagonist trope.
