With the decline of the six ancient divine clans and the rise of humanity, the continent was plunged into endless strife and shifting power. Amidst the chaos and suffering of this turbulent era, an unknown knight rose to prominence. After more than two decades of relentless warfare, he brought an end to the age of discord He slew the cruel tyrant, shielded the young imperial princess as she ascended the throne, yet was ultimately stripped of his authority. He saved the elven princess, defended the sacred lands of the elves from the ravages of war, yet faced exclusion and disdain from the very people he protected. He aided the Fox Empress of Kyushu in purging corrupt officials and securing her reign, only to be betrayed in return. He helped a fox-dancer from the Sakura Tribe escape her lowly status and assisted her in becoming a high-ranking official, only to be used and discarded as a stepping stone. He cleansed the kingdom of a heretical cult’s corruption, only to be burdened with false accusations. Gazing upon this flourishing continent that no longer needed him, the knight silently withdrew, his duty fulfilled. Gratitude was never what he sought. The world was at peace, his purpose achieved. No longer young, he drew his sword and struck at an opponent he could never defeat, marking the final note of his life’s symphony. Yet death did not claim him. The fox bloodline within him saved his life, though at the cost of his gender. Forced into a new identity, she resolved to leave her knightly past behind and live quietly as an ordinary person. Unbeknownst to her, the empresses and princesses who once held complex feelings for him now drowned in regret upon hearing news of his “death”…

My Thoughts on They Realized Their Feelings, but the Knight Had Already Reincarnated as a Young Fox
This novel, "They Realized Their Feelings, but the Knight Had Already Reincarnated as a Young Fox," certainly took me on a journey! It's a story packed with action, adventure, a dash of tragedy, and a whole lot of fantasy elements, all wrapped up in a gender-bending reincarnation plot. It had me hooked from the get-go, but the ride wasn't entirely smooth.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are definitely epic. The premise is intriguing: a renowned knight, framed and misunderstood, embraces reincarnation as a fox beastkin to escape his past. The idea of a stoic knight grappling with a new identity and trying to avoid his old life is immediately captivating. The humor injected into the story, especially surrounding the MC's struggles with their new form and the world's reactions, is a definite plus.
What Works Well
The character development, especially in the early stages, is a strong point. We see the protagonist's flaws emerge, contrasting with the perfect image they initially project. These emotional outbursts feel genuine and add depth to the character. The world-building is also quite interesting, with elements of beastkin, elves, and political intrigue woven together. The slow-burn romance and relationship dynamics are also a key draw, making it feel like more than just a simple action fantasy.
Areas of Concern
My biggest concern, echoed by many, lies in the ending. It feels rushed, and several plot threads and characters are simply abandoned. The resolution of major conflicts feels too swift, leaving a sense of dissatisfaction. The MC's personality shifts depending on their form, which can be a bit jarring. While the story is engaging, at times it feels like the plot moves slowly, and some sections could be condensed without losing much substance.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "They Realized Their Feelings, but the Knight Had Already Reincarnated as a Young Fox" is an enjoyable read, particularly in its early stages. The intriguing premise, well-developed characters, and humorous moments kept me invested. However, the rushed and incomplete ending significantly impacts the overall experience. If you're willing to overlook these shortcomings, it's a worthwhile journey, but be prepared for a somewhat unsatisfying conclusion. I'd give it a solid 3.5/5.
