My Thoughts on The Cannon Fodder Doesn’t Want to Die

The Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Die promised a quick and fluffy read, and for the most part, it delivered. As a fan of the quick transmigration genre, I was eager to dive into a story that didn't overstay its welcome. While it had its flaws, I found myself charmed by the MC and ML, and the unique world settings kept me reasonably engaged.

First Impressions

My initial impression was positive. The premise was intriguing: a cannon fodder character transmigrating through different worlds to complete missions. I was particularly drawn to the promise of diverse arcs, and I wasn't disappointed in that regard. Each world felt distinct, which is a breath of fresh air in a genre that can sometimes feel repetitive.

What Works Well

The strength of this novel lies in its lightheartedness and the easy-to-love characters. The MC is a likable protagonist, not overly OP but definitely resourceful and conscientious. I appreciated that the ML wasn't the typical overbearing type; their relationship felt relatively healthy and sweet. The author's creativity shines through in the world-building, especially in the first arc, which combined beastkin elements with a zombie apocalypse scenario – a surprisingly fun mix.

Areas of Concern

My main issue, and it seems to be a common one, is the pacing. The first arc receives a disproportionate amount of attention, leaving the remaining arcs feeling rushed and underdeveloped. The endings of each arc, and the novel itself, felt abrupt, lacking the depth and resolution I craved. I also found that the later arcs suffered from a lack of character development, making it harder to connect with the characters and invest in their stories.

Final Verdict

Despite its flaws, The Cannon Fodder Doesn’t Want to Die is an enjoyable, quick read. If you're looking for a light and fluffy QT novel with unique world settings and a sweet romance, this might be worth your time. Just be prepared for some pacing issues and a rushed ending. I'd rate it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars – perfect for a lazy weekend when you want something entertaining but not too demanding.
