The Sword Saint Returned from Another World Doesn’t Realize His True Power Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on The Sword Saint Returned from Another World Doesn’t Realize His True Power
Alright, let's dive into "The Sword Saint Returned from Another World Doesn’t Realize His True Power" – a title that's quite a mouthful, I must say! I went into this novel with moderate expectations, given the blend of popular tropes like alternate worlds, game elements, and a seemingly oblivious protagonist. After reading a substantial portion, I've formed a pretty solid opinion.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise. A returning sword saint who's unaware of his immense power? Sounds like a recipe for some fun, right? The early chapters focus on the MC's struggles and his dedication to his bedridden sister, which is a classic way to establish empathy. However, I quickly found myself feeling detached from the story, struggling to connect with the characters or their motivations.
What Works Well
I can see the author was trying to create a heartwarming narrative about family and perseverance. The idea of the MC fighting tooth and nail for his sister is genuinely touching. The initial concept had promise, especially for readers who enjoy stories where kindness is rewarded. Also, the blend of action and adventure is present; there are dungeons, monsters, and battles galore.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the execution falters in several key areas. The power scaling feels inconsistent. I found it hard to believe that the MC, despite his supposed hidden power, could overcome challenges designed for significantly higher-ranked adventurers. It created a sense of disconnect and made the victories feel unearned.
The "dense protagonist" trope is also pushed to its limits. While a little obliviousness can be endearing, the MC's lack of awareness often felt contrived and frustrating. The system mechanics also felt underdeveloped. The line between "hard magic" and "soft magic" blurs, leading to power discrepancies that felt illogical and jarring.
Final Verdict
"The Sword Saint Returned from Another World Doesn’t Realize His True Power" has potential, but it ultimately falls short due to inconsistencies in its power system, a frustratingly dense protagonist, and a narrative that struggles to deliver on its emotional core. While the premise is intriguing, the execution needs significant refinement to truly shine. I would recommend this novel only to readers who are very forgiving of these issues and are primarily looking for a light, feel-good read.
