Hey! You're such a good citizen! Keep writing well from now on, and you'll get a big reward!
Are you even capable, you noob? This knife doesn't even hurt a little. If you're going to use a knife, then use it harder!
I thought the "bitter taste" sounded familiar; it turns out it's from the book about playing the witch 🤦. I still prefer stories told from different characters' perspectives. The romance between the Demon King and the Hero wasn't fully developed.
This is a new comment; I haven't started reading the book yet, at this stage. I feel like the hero team has gone a bit off track. The other characters lost their appeal after they were introduced to the demon realm. I wonder if it's because the new chapter has only just begun. Also, the hero's character is actually quite unlikable; he gives off a harem-building, overpowered protagonist vibe.
This is an ensemble piece where each important supporting character has their own emotions, stories, and experiences—some heartwarming, some touching, and some leaving one with unresolved feelings. Compared to the current Demon King storyline, the stories of these supporting characters seem rather bland.
There are so few chapters, only 19! I spent over a year reading the last one, I don't know how long this one will take ╮(╯_╰)╭
It's not bad; the character development is decent, but the sword-related scenes feel a bit forced. It's like they tried to imitate Gen Urobuchi but only scratched the surface.
Up to chapter 60, I'm still looking forward to the rest of the story. I wonder how the hero will win over a demon king who has no emotions. I'm deducting one star because the Black Feather section felt like it was just swordplay for the sake of swordplay, and the fact that the clone inexplicably fell in love with him was also a bit confusing. The detailed descriptions in that section were too few, making it feel rushed, and it had a similar industrial-grade feel to the previous book.
Having read quite a few "marriage transformation" stories, I think this one is one of the better ones on Tomato. The female lead isn't brainless, and the pacing is quite cheerful 😏. So, author, keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you.
I'll give the author a five-star review to support them, even though some parts of the story aren't perfect and the details aren't handled very well. But it's still a beautiful story, and I like it very much. It felt like a dream, so unforgettable, yet also filled with the usual sense of loss.
