The Chronicles of the Man Who Became a God and Did Whatever He Wanted

My Thoughts on The Chronicles of the Man Who Became a God and Did Whatever He Wanted

Okay, let's dive into this one. "The Chronicles of the Man Who Became a God and Did Whatever He Wanted" certainly lives up to its title, and whether that's a good thing really depends on your personal taste. After reading it, I can safely say this novel is… an experience.

First Impressions

Right off the bat, it's clear this story isn't holding back. We're introduced to a protagonist who's far from the typical noble hero. He's got a past, a grudge, and a very particular set of desires he's keen on fulfilling. The premise is straightforward: a man gains power and uses it to, well, do whatever he wants. If you're looking for a morally grey character who navigates a fantasy world with questionable ethics, this might pique your interest.

What Works Well

For some, the sheer audacity of the MC might be appealing. He's not bound by conventional morality, and the story explores the consequences of absolute power, albeit in a very specific and often crude way. The pacing in the first volume, focusing on establishing his power base and exacting revenge, kept me somewhat engaged. The chapters are relatively short, which made it easy to keep reading despite my reservations.

Areas of Concern

However, and this is a big however, the novel delves into some pretty dark territory. The treatment of women is a major sticking point. They often serve as objects for the MC's desires or tools for his revenge, lacking agency and depth. The presence of potentially triggering content, and the MC's…unique methods of control and manipulation, made it difficult for me to connect with the story on any meaningful level. The second volume seems to lose direction, jumping between various fetishes without a clear narrative thread.

Final Verdict

Ultimately, "The Chronicles of the Man Who Became a God and Did Whatever He Wanted" is a novel that will likely appeal to a very specific audience. If you're looking for a morally ambiguous power fantasy with explicit content and aren't easily disturbed by questionable ethics, you might find something to enjoy here. However, the problematic elements and lack of meaningful character development make it a difficult recommendation for me. I'd suggest approaching this one with caution and a clear understanding of its content.
