Description
The story follows Mitrof de Vansankai, the overweight third son of a noble family. Considered useless by his father, who saw no ability in Mitrof beyond his appetite for food, he is banished from the family and forced to leave his home. In search of money to satisfy his appetite, Mitrof becomes an adventurer and enters a dangerous labyrinth, filled with death at every turn. While exploring the labyrinth, Mitrof meets a young elf girl named Grace and they team up by chance. After defeating a kobold in a fierce battle, the two of them achieve a higher ranking (lvl-up) as living beings, known as “sublimation.” Adding a cursed girl named Canule to their party, the three of them continue to explore the labyrinth together. As they continue to conquer the labyrinth, they encounter a troll, a creature that should normally only exist in the deepest parts of the labyrinth. However, this particular troll had consumed the guardian of the labyrinth and had become an abnormal individual. In a desperate situation, Mitrof fights with a rapier, his noble pride shining through as he stands up against the troll in battle.

My Thoughts on The Fat Aristocrat Waltz in the Labyrinth
"The Fat Aristocrat Waltz in the Labyrinth" presents an interesting premise: a protagonist who doesn't magically transform into a handsome, overpowered hero overnight. After diving into the available chapters, I found myself with mixed feelings, echoing some sentiments I've seen floating around.
First Impressions
The initial chapter definitely grabbed my attention. It promised a unique take on the dungeon-delving genre, and I was genuinely excited to see how the story would unfold. There's a certain charm in the idea of a protagonist who has to rely on his wits, connections, and slow, steady growth to overcome challenges, rather than instant power-ups.
What Works Well
I appreciated the realistic character development. The protagonist's growth feels earned, not simply handed to him on a silver platter. The story seems to emphasize that progress takes time and effort. The world-building is also intriguing, with well-defined arcs that offer satisfying resolutions. The blend of action, adventure, and fantasy elements creates a compelling backdrop for the protagonist's journey. I also found the slice-of-life aspects surprisingly enjoyable, offering a breather between the more intense dungeon crawls.
Areas of Concern
The pacing felt slow at times, which might not appeal to everyone. While some appreciate the deliberate character development, others might find themselves wishing for a faster-moving plot. Furthermore, the introduction of certain female characters felt somewhat forced, disrupting the otherwise natural flow of the narrative. The main character's choice of weapon seems oddly impractical for dungeon exploration.
Final Verdict
"The Fat Aristocrat Waltz in the Labyrinth" offers a refreshing take on the dungeon-delving genre with its focus on realistic character growth and well-defined story arcs. While the pacing may be slow for some and certain plot elements feel a bit contrived, the overall experience is enjoyable for those who appreciate a more deliberate and character-driven narrative. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're looking for something a bit different in the fantasy genre.
