The Saint who breaks the Earthenware Pot

My Thoughts on The Saint who breaks the Earthenware Pot

First Impressions

Okay, so "The Saint who breaks the Earthenware Pot" is definitely... something. Going in, I was expecting a fairly standard fantasy adventure, maybe with a bit of a twist. What I got was a wild ride with a protagonist who's about as far from your typical saint as you can imagine. It's quirky, it's a little bit out there, and it's definitely not for everyone.

What Works Well

What really grabbed me was the sheer audacity of the protagonist. She's not just confident; she's full-blown narcissistic, and the story leans into it hard. It's hilarious! The humor is definitely a strong point, and it kept me entertained even when the plot was a bit meandering. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the protagonist's antics and inner monologues. The world-building, while not groundbreaking, is solid enough to support the story, and I appreciate the hints of a deeper plot that seem to be developing as the story progresses.

Areas of Concern

While the humor and the protagonist's personality are definite strengths, I can see how they might not appeal to everyone. The plot starts off a little slow, and the writing quality isn't always top-notch, but it does improve noticeably as the story continues. If you're looking for a tightly plotted, serious fantasy epic, this probably isn't it. It's more of a character-driven comedy with action elements.

Final Verdict

"The Saint who breaks the Earthenware Pot" is a weird, wild, and ultimately entertaining read. If you're looking for something different, something that doesn't take itself too seriously, and you're not easily offended, then I'd say give it a shot. Just be prepared for a protagonist who's unlike anyone you've ever encountered before. I'm giving it a solid 3.5 out of 5. It's flawed, but it's also incredibly memorable.
