Karl, a young country boy who dreams of becoming a "Knight of Light", finally passed the knight exam and was given an important mission - to escort an important half-elf scholar to the royal capital. Carl's imaginary mission: slaying demons along the way, showing off his heroic demeanor as a knight, and gaining recognition from scholars. Actual mission: His "scholar" escort is a poisonous-tongued half-elf girl named Leah. Her research topic is "On the Stupidity and Ridiculousness of Human Knight Behavior Patterns" and insists on recording all of Carl's embarrassing things in a notebook. Coupled with a lazy bard teammate who can only sing "Ode to Happy Fishing" and wants to camp out for a rest at every turn, their team has no sense of glory or epicness, only full of complaints and jokes. Can Carl complete his first mission smoothly (and with dignity) under the sharp gaze of this "human observer"?
Reader comments
Believe me, if the protagonist of this book was an elf, you might be able to accept it reluctantly; but the reality is that you spent a lot of pen and ink to create an ordinary young knight from a low-level background. The readers originally wanted to see how he grew up step by step and transformed into a real knight. But you made him frustrated along the way - maybe you call it "another kind of growth". But I found no joy in the story. I only saw a kind of naked humiliation, and saw a young man heartbroken and forced to "recognize reality." This may be a literary expression, but it is not what we want to see - no one reads novels to find pleasure.
If you just enjoy using high cognition to suppress the enthusiastic protagonist and satisfy some kind of "bad taste", then I have nothing to say...
Since the writing is pretty solid, I gave it one more star. [Wronged]
