Description
I am an R card in a card collection game. This game takes place in a Western fantasy setting with three factions to choose from: the Church of Light, the Church of Darkness, and the Free Alliance. Of course, to ensure everyone occasionally bands together in harmony, there’s a common enemy called “Monsters”—just like every game with a traditional setup. As the “Chosen One” the player starts off by waking up with amnesia on the outskirts of a town, where a kind-hearted Holy Knight finds them while out on a mission, triggering the first beginner’s quest. Yes, I am that kind-hearted Holy Knight. To be precise, I am the game’s beginner guide. My sole purpose is to help players pick a username and activate the battle panel. … At least, that’s how it was supposed to be. However, on the first day of the server launch, something unexpected happened. Due to a slip of the programmer’s hand, I accidentally upgraded from an R card to an SSR card. By the time the developers realized, the news about starting the game with a free SSR card had already spread. At this point, telling the players it was just a bug… “We’d definitely get killed.” sighed the developer as they patted me on the shoulder. “We held an emergency meeting and decided to just roll with it. So—congratulations, you’re now the [SSR Holy Knight Captain] !” Me: “…” And just like that, I was forced to become a real SSR card.

My Thoughts on What Kind of Character Did the Devs Give Me Anyway?
"What Kind of Character Did the Devs Give Me Anyway?" promised a lighthearted dive into a game-like world, and for the most part, it delivered. This story is a quick, enjoyable read that I found myself breezing through. It's definitely a novel to pick up when you need a break and want something fun and engaging.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the synopsis hinting at game elements and a knight protagonist. The premise seemed to set the stage for a classic leveling-up story. However, I quickly realized the story takes a different path. The game elements are there, but they aren't the central focus. Instead, it's more about the MC, a chivalrous knight, navigating a world where he might be more than just a character.
What Works Well
The characters are definitely a highlight. Our MC is naive and chivalrous, and I found myself charmed by his simple, good nature. The side characters are also well-developed and full of life, and their relationships with the MC are a joy to watch unfold. The plot, while not overly complex, is engaging, and the action and drama are balanced with a lighthearted tone. I particularly enjoyed the comedic undertones and the zen-like attitude of many characters, who don't hold grudges for long. Also, the extras are fantastic and add a lot to the overall experience.
Areas of Concern
One of my main issues, is the unanswered questions regarding the game aspect. I wished the author had focused on clarifying some of the confusing bits instead of adding more plot threads. While I appreciated the simplicity of the story, the lack of explanation for certain elements left me wanting more. Additionally, some characters could have used more development.
