My Thoughts on The King of Despair and Divine Beast
This novel pulled me in, hook, line, and sinker! I stumbled upon "The King of Despair and Divine Beast" looking for a new fantasy romance to dive into, and while I found a lot to love, I also discovered a bittersweet truth along the way.
First Impressions
Initially, I was a little wary. The tags are… explicit, to say the least. But the story promised a fantasy world, a cute protagonist, and a human-nonhuman relationship, all of which piqued my interest. The beginning was strong, immediately throwing me into the MC's unusual situation. I was intrigued by how he'd navigate this new world, especially in beast form.
What Works Well
The writing is genuinely captivating. I found myself easily lost in the story, following the MC as he slowly uncovers the mysteries of his new reality. The relationship between the MC and ML is a definite highlight. It's not just about the physical aspect (though that's definitely present); it's about the growing bond and emotional connection between two very different individuals. I appreciated the lack of overly dramatic conflicts and "face-slapping" scenarios. Instead, the focus is on character development and the slow unraveling of subtle injustices within the world. The MC's practicality and intelligence are refreshing, and I enjoyed seeing him tackle problems with a level head. It's also a relief that the potential for unnecessary drama is often avoided, keeping the story light and enjoyable.
Areas of Concern
My biggest disappointment, and it seems to be a shared one, is the hiatus. Discovering that the story hasn't been updated since 2019 was a real blow. It feels like being left hanging halfway through a fantastic journey, unsure if I'll ever reach the destination. While I enjoyed the slice-of-life elements, some readers looking for more action might find the pacing a bit slow.
Final Verdict
Despite the unfinished status, I still wholeheartedly recommend "The King of Despair and Divine Beast." The characters are endearing, the world-building is intriguing, and the writing is simply beautiful. Just be prepared for the inevitable heartbreak of reaching the last available chapter and desperately hoping for more. If the author ever decides to continue, I'll be first in line to read it!
