Mushoku Tensei: Blue Reincarnation

Book group: 1059311175

Finally reached level 4! This book is mostly sweet with little angst, and has a lot of explicit content, but the downside is that it ended too abruptly; it feels like there was so much more plot to be written. Long live Blue Reincarnation! Long live Sherman! (^-^)V

Thank you to the author for persisting in serializing this fanfic; it's truly excellent. Having followed it this far, I have a few suggestions and opinions: It feels like after Loki and Rudy have been together for so long, Rudy should realize Loki's inferiority complex and her suppressed feelings. As the protagonist of a coming-of-age story, after receiving so much help and guidance from Loki, he should be able to turn around and redeem Loki's inferiority complex and self-deprecation. Currently, it seems that Loki still belittles herself and suppresses her emotions before facing anything. I really hope that the author can arrange a part in the later story where Rudy can help improve Loki's inferiority complex, or gradually improve Loki's inferiority complex through long-term companionship. As the only one who knows Rudy's vulnerability and is willing to sacrifice herself selflessly to redeem him, I believe Loki deserves to openly express her love for Rudy in front of everyone. I sincerely hope that Loki can regain her confidence and self-reliance in the later stories, instead of being timid and submissive in matters of the heart. And that Rudy can actively respond to and reciprocate Loki's love. Thank you again to the author for writing fanfiction for Wuzhi and Luo Qixi. I am truly grateful.

Looking forward to the snake's feet chapter

Okay, before we begin, let's talk about why I'm writing this long review. It all started when, while chatting in a group, Xiao C mentioned that posts, discussions, and these long reviews can be very motivating for creators. At the time, Sherman and I, both authors of this book, were chatting in the group and strongly agreed with this point. Then I told Sherman that I had written a long review for him before, but due to some unforeseen circumstances—basically, I switched interfaces before posting, and my draft was lost—I was devastated. I can't even remember how many words that long review was. I only remember typing from 1 a. M. To 3 a. M. That day. I was just really emotional and wanted to say something, but I'm terrible at typing and my hands were sore from typing all day. It left me with a psychological trauma, and I never wrote a long review again. Sherman was very sad when he heard his long review was gone. I told him, "Tingting, I'll make up for it within 48 hours." I regretted saying that immediately, but I had to keep my word. So let's get straight to the point—just some random thoughts. I think discussing too much of the plot would affect the reading experience for new readers; nobody likes spoilers. So this time, let's focus on some random musings. #(Sweat) Before we begin, let's build up some armor. This long review is purely my personal opinion, and any criticisms are not directed at anyone. Any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental, and I apologize in advance and take no responsibility. Red Bean Mud, Misty, Masai #(shy) Let's start by talking about the author of this book, Ketanmanershe. He's genuinely honest; if you ask him in the fan group, he'll respond immediately, even though I initially thought he was a woman because his profile picture was a photo of a real-life girl's back. If he really needs something, just tag him in the group, and he'll reply right away, whether it's related to the book or something small in your life. Regarding updates, he doesn't update very frequently, which is evident from the chapter update times. Clearly, he might not update a chapter for several days, even ten days. However, it's important to know that he didn't sign a contract for book publishing; he signed a residency contract. He doesn't have a full attendance guarantee, so he clearly understands this and proactively signed the residency contract. He maintains a stable output despite receiving a small amount of money, unlike some well-paid but indefinitely interrupted authors from Tieba who are unknown and don't update regularly. This is commendable. #(Goodbye) Some people might ask, "Hey host, why did you spend so much time praising this author in this long review? What's the point of reading all this?" Well, I'm very sorry to those people. I didn't expect this long review to bring much traffic to the book, nor did I expect many people to read it. I just wanted to encourage this lovely author and fulfill my promise to him. And as I said, this is just rambling. Now that we've talked about the characters, let's discuss the book itself. There's no plot development whatsoever, so those hoping to glean a story from this long review can leave now. As a relatively large fanfiction community, many people write fanfiction about "No Job," including regulars on Yangshizi. Sherman isn't the only one, nor even the most successful. At best, he's managed to get a contract on a platform, which is better than some books that can't even get published. So, what exactly is the selling point of this book compared to others? #(Question mark) First, we need to know that there are generally two types of fanfiction about jobless characters. One type creates a fictional protagonist who doesn't exist in the original story. This type is quite common. The other type continues the general plot framework, combining elements of Old Rudy or a new Rudy. Successful examples of this type include Little C and Human God. Many people write in both categories, so reading too much of it can sometimes lead to aesthetic fatigue. However, this book, *Blue Reincarnation*, is different. Its protagonist is Luo Qixi, which is a very fresh perspective. Because he is both part of the main group and not the protagonist himself, he differs from the two systems mentioned above, which is a selling point in itself. The spirit of daring to innovate deserves encouragement no matter where you are. Moreover, those who have read *The Unknown* know that Luo Qixi's romantic storyline is, at least on paper, the least among the three characters, which has left many people feeling somewhat unsatisfied. The perspective chosen by this book can effectively fill this gap. Okay, I've already mentioned its biggest advantage. Why don't I say a little more? Well, it's precisely because of this that it's already so remarkable. You might say its writing style isn't the absolute best, and its update efficiency isn't that high either, but it has its own unique features. When we play games, we sometimes look at the unique features rather than the strength of the game itself. Writing fanfiction is no easier than writing formal essays (seriously!), It's like dancing in shackles. I talked about this with Little C in the group chat today: key events must be retained, no major changes allowed. Even if there's innovation, it must return to the original events, no major alterations, since many people come here specifically for this kind of content. (You know what I mean.) Therefore, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this book will be told from Luo Qixi's first-person perspective. It's like listening to a storyteller from the past; everyone knows the story, but different storytellers have different perspectives and humor, which gives it a different feel. This gives me a sense of novelty, a refreshing feeling after a period of aesthetic fatigue. I hope that Sherman maintains his level of writing quality. I don't expect him to make leaps and bounds, updating once or twice a day; just keep a steady, high-quality, healthy, and sustainable pace. Don't give certain readers, like me, me, and me, the opportunity to pound on Sherman's work (referring to urging for more updates) and dominate the book world. Finally, I'm honored to have clicked on the first long review of this book. I'll stay with this book for the rest of my life. Okay, I'm going to vote with my monthly tickets and give a reward now. See you later! #(Funny)

Overall, I'll give it a positive review. The synopsis does indeed add a lot more screen time for Luo Qixi, and the ending story is a brilliant touch. It's worth recommending to fans of the Blue Mother series; the inclusion of all three primary colors makes for a happy ending. However, I have a few personal thoughts. The work isn't exactly a feel-good story; many events unfold due to Luo Qixi's mistakes and Rudy's blunders. Looking at the beginning of her restarted life, there's often no sense of growth; instead, Luo Qixi feels even more pitiful. Furthermore, the ending feels rushed, leaving many plot points unresolved, making it unsuitable for easing any lingering regrets.

I got hooked on Mushoku Tensei from the anime. Initially, I was just bored at work and wanted to kill time. Having just finished Konosuba, I wanted to find a lighthearted isekai (another world) to clear my head and watch Mushoku Tensei – the title certainly sounded like toilet paper! The first two episodes instantly captivated me. The heartwarming and happy daily life in Buena Village was very comforting. What attracted me even more was Rourke's master-disciple relationship; their interactions were very interesting. Rourke also played an important role in the warm daily life of this family. The first time I saw her, I didn't see her as a loli (I'm not into lolis), but rather as a kind and understanding older sister, projecting my feelings onto Rudy. The reason she took him out for the exam, and the emotionally charged moment, showed that their relationship was somewhat special. The brief separation was for a better reunion; I had a feeling that these two would definitely meet again, and their relationship would be very interesting. With this feeling, I became completely engrossed in Mushoku Tensei. As the story progressed, I gradually realized that this work wasn't just toilet paper, but rather wanted to express something more serious. As expected, the main storyline kept mentioning Loki and Shiro, teasing me. I tolerated their near miss in Winnport, knowing the author was definitely planning something big. I even imagined how dramatic their reunion would be. But as I got to the Labyrinth arc, I couldn't hold back anymore. Was this really the plot? The first time I read it, it was okay, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong and disgusted I felt. I heard the novel was more comprehensive, so I started reading it from the beginning. But I have to say, the Labyrinth arc in the novel was only slightly better, not much better. I couldn't accept how rushed this couple's relationship was. Even after finishing the whole work, I still felt that Loki and Shiro's interactions and screen time were far too little (actually, everyone's roles were small, since it's an ensemble piece, but compared to the other two wives, there wasn't as much sweetness and romance as with Sylvie, nor as complete a pre-marital love story as with Alice). In the end, Rudy left first, leaving the two of them, which was even more regrettable. I couldn't get enough of it; this wasn't the future I wanted to see. So, for the first time in my life, I started reading fanfiction and came across this work with a title that clearly leans towards the blue side. I hope it can fill the void in my heart. Returning to the book's premise of Loki's rebirth after her death in the diary storyline, this gives her a chance to make amends and start over. Reborn with her memories and personality from her previous life, she successfully saves the "family" she couldn't save in her previous life—Pauline. Although she couldn't stop the Great Transfer, the story of her moving three children to the Demon Continent significantly fills in the gaps in the original work. The adventures along the way also vividly depict everyone's changes. Loki was accepted by Sylphie in her previous life and was cared for and accompanied by Sylphie until her death. Feeling guilty, she constantly tried to matchmake Rudy and Sylphie. In this work, she incorporates more of Sylphie's personality from the original work, taking over her position. Sylphie incorporates many of Alice's traits from the original work, becoming stronger and braver, and taking over much of Alice's role. Several original conflict events also beautifully portrayed the emotions between everyone. Rudy and Loki's constant revelation of their secrets was very engaging, especially the deep bond between Blue and White, which was intentionally emphasized – this is crucial. Coupled with their past life memories, the relationship between Rudy, Loki, and Alice felt very comfortable to watch, without too much emotional conflict. Later, when Alice went to practice swordsmanship, the viewing experience reached its peak; their world was truly wonderful. This work didn't rush to shower the audience with sweet moments; instead, it established a strong emotional foundation from the beginning. Sweetness enhanced by genuine emotion is much more enjoyable, while empty, emotionless sweetness tastes like saccharin – bitter. The author clearly portrays the emotions between the three characters, creating a genuine sense of love and setting the stage for the later sweet moments. This is something many fanfiction works fail to do. Most either force a harem and lack the genuine love and harem feel unique to Murakami, making me uncomfortable like a typical harem anime. They focus solely on sweetness without considering the emotions and characters themselves. Even with Lelouch and Rudy, I can't stomach this forced pairing. Furthermore, this work clearly explains the emotions of the characters involved. I'm somewhat averse to infidelity unless there are special reasons. Most fanfiction true harems fail to achieve a clean relationship, with the main characters often openly betraying their partners. The three mothers taking turns sending characters to the true harem is indeed difficult to handle, making it unpleasant to watch. In this work, Loki, burdened by guilt and inferiority towards Sylphie from her past life and love for Rudy, brings Sylphie and Rudy together. Sylphie's personality naturally leads to gratitude towards Loki, creating a suitable harem atmosphere. With this perspective, watching the later main course, filled with sweet moments, is incredibly enjoyable. The author writes a lot of sweet content, satisfying and enjoyable! Actually, this work has quite a few flaws, but it's excellent enough for a fan-made work, so I didn't nitpick and just pretended not to see them. First of all, Rudy is quite a womanizer. Although it was Loki who brought them together, Rudy still actively flirted with Silphie despite having a ten-year engagement with Loki. Even in the original work, Rudy wouldn't dare to be so promiscuous. His two later wives were only started for special reasons. Fortunately, there weren't many scenes like that, so I could tolerate it. The reason I haven't mentioned Alice earlier is because the handling of Red Mother in this work is so poor that I had to force myself to watch most of the scenes featuring her. Loki didn't know Red Mother in her lifetime, so there was no reason to pair her with Rudy, but that's exactly what this work does, creating a significant point of emotional conflict. Red Mother's character development is also rather mediocre; the author probably felt they hadn't written her well and quickly marginalized her. In my opinion, Red Mother shouldn't appear at all, but her dedication to practicing swordsmanship for Rudy deserves a good ending, so they forcibly included her. Therefore, in this work, I only ship the three-person world. I feel absolutely nothing for Rudy and Alice. Overall, the writing is quite good; it doesn't read like the childish, rambling style of elementary or middle school writing. The plot is also well-structured, though it would be better to use more conflict to develop the characters and emotions. As a story that filled a void in my heart, I give it a nine out of ten. It was very enjoyable to read, a real treat for the soul, and it effectively alleviated many of my regrets and my "joblessness syndrome." A great book indeed! I'll start reading it again whenever I feel like it. #(Cute)

Please come back soon! (Crying)

It's great! Keep up the good work, author! Please don't abandon the story; at least write up to the point where he meets Alice.

Good
