Pharmacist of the Future Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator

My Thoughts on Pharmacist of the Future

"Pharmacist of the Future" had a lot of promise, whisking me away to a futuristic world where alchemy and combat prowess reign supreme. The premise of an orphan transmigrating into this world with a cheat pharmacy system was instantly appealing, and I was excited to see how he'd shake things up. While it had its moments, the story ultimately fell short of its potential.

First Impressions

The initial chapters grabbed my attention. I was intrigued by the world-building, the struggles of the protagonist, and the potential for him to rise through the ranks using his unique abilities. The blend of futuristic elements with magical beasts and alchemy felt fresh and exciting.

What Works Well

The relationship between the MC and ML was a definite highlight. Their interactions were sweet, honest, and refreshingly free of unnecessary misunderstandings. I appreciated that the author didn't rely on typical tropes, and instead crafted a bond built on trust and mutual respect. Also, the ancient beasts added a layer of humor and charm to the story, with their dialogues providing some genuinely funny moments.

Areas of Concern

Unfortunately, the narrative lost its way in the middle. A significant portion of the story focused on the MC's culinary adventures, which, while perhaps delicious, felt like a detour from the main plot. The pacing became uneven, and the initial focus on alchemy and potion-making took a backseat to food-related content. The ending also felt rushed, with resolutions to major conflicts happening too quickly. Moreover, some elements, like the MC's initial plan to buy back his house, were brought up but never fully resolved, leaving me with a sense of loose ends. The shounen ai tag is accurate in that the romance is very light, with minimal physical affection.

Final Verdict

"Pharmacist of the Future" is a lighthearted and easy read, perfect for passing the time. However, its uneven pacing, unresolved plot points, and deviation from its initial premise ultimately prevent it from reaching its full potential. While the characters and their relationships offer some enjoyable moments, I was left wanting more substance and a more cohesive narrative. It's a decent story, but not one I'd rush to recommend.
