My Thoughts on The General Is Too Evil
"The General Is Too Evil" is definitely a novel that elicits strong reactions, and after diving in, I can see why. It's a short, smutty, and comedic romp through a historical setting, and whether or not you enjoy the ride seems to depend heavily on your tolerance for its particular brand of humor and its central relationship.
First Impressions
Going in, I knew this was a short read, and that's immediately apparent. The plot is straightforward: a "pe*verted" general and an "innocent" assassin thrown together in a series of increasingly absurd situations. My initial impression was that this was going to be pure fluff, something to read when I wanted a quick laugh and didn't want to think too hard.
What Works Well
The humor is definitely the strong suit. The novel leans heavily into the "shameless" general trope, exaggerating it to the point of ridiculousness. I found myself chuckling at the sheer audacity of his actions and the ridiculous excuses he concocts. The absurdity is definitely dialed up to eleven, and if you enjoy that kind of over-the-top comedy, you'll likely find this hilarious. I also appreciated the quick pace. The story doesn't linger, and the plot, while simple, moves along briskly, keeping things entertaining. I can see why some readers found it a perfect palate cleanser between heavier reads.
Areas of Concern
The humor may not land for everyone. What some found funny, others found uncomfortable or even outright offensive. The power imbalance between the general and the assassin is a key point of contention, and I can see why some readers struggled with the dynamic. I personally felt that while the novel tries to play it off as comedic, the implications of the general's actions can be unsettling.

Final Verdict
"The General Is Too Evil" is a very specific type of story. If you're looking for a quick, smutty, and over-the-top comedic read with a high tolerance for potentially problematic tropes, you might enjoy this. However, if you're sensitive to power imbalances or prefer your romances with a bit more depth and nuance, this one might not be for you. I'd say approach with caution and be prepared for a wild ride.
