My Thoughts on The Darkness Was Comfortable for Me
"The Darkness Was Comfortable for Me" certainly took me on a rollercoaster. It's an isekai with a unique premise: a normal kid, Hikaru, gets thrust into another world after a tragedy, and his struggles are broadcast to Earth. My overall impression is mixed, but I see why it has captured so many readers.
First Impressions
I was immediately drawn in by the premise. The idea of a live-streamed isekai experience is intriguing and ripe with potential. The initial chapters are strong, setting up Hikaru's character and the trauma he experiences. I found myself sympathizing with him from the start.
What Works Well
Many readers praised the character development, and I agree. Hikaru isn't your typical OP protagonist. He's a 15-year-old dealing with immense trauma, and his growth is slow and realistic. I also appreciate the world-building. It feels logical and believable, despite the magical elements. The magic system itself is interesting and feels somewhat fresh, even if it could be fleshed out further. The bulletin board chapters, showing reactions from Earth, are a unique selling point. They provide insight into how the world perceives the transferrees and offer social commentary on cancel culture.
Areas of Concern
The slow pacing can be a double-edged sword. While it allows for character development, I can see how some might find it frustrating, especially in the early chapters. Also, the forced misfortune that befalls the MC felt contrived at times. It's fine to keep him miserable, but I wish it was done in a more clever way. The twin sisters, while intended to be quirky, were a miss for me. Their "bro-con" tendencies and genius-level abilities felt overdone and detracted from the story.

Final Verdict
"The Darkness Was Comfortable for Me" is a unique and engaging isekai novel. While it has its flaws, the strong character development, interesting world-building, and unique premise make it worth a read. However, be prepared for a slow burn and some potentially frustrating plot points. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
