The Old Witcher's Retirement

Let's talk about the advantages first. As a bookworm for more than ten years, it is difficult for me to find a book that is eye-catching. The worldview design of this book is quite amazing compared to the first two stories, but the plot lacks internal logic. Originally, the main line of the story could be that the protagonist gradually regains his strength to fight against various villains.

In the current literary landscape, this book is top-notch in both its setting and plot, possessing the potential to become a literary masterpiece. As far as Western fantasy goes, this book is exceptionally good, and it portrays Norse mythology brilliantly. However, the transitions between the main plot and the subplots were not handled very well.

At first, I probably just added it to the bookshelf out of curiosity, and then it lingered in my "untested" group for a while. Later, I ran out of books to read and decided to start a new project, so I opened this one. To be honest, the first few dozen chapters might have been a bit lacking in world-building and background information, but as more and more were revealed later on, I have to say I…

I'm almost at the latest chapter. As a bookworm of ten years, I think the writing, pacing, and character development are all excellent, and there are basically no major flaws. However, the reason it hasn't become more popular is that there aren't many satisfying moments, and even those aren't very satisfying.

Every time I see a book title that suggests retirement, farming, and a relaxed lifestyle, I know it's bound to be full of conflict and never a moment's rest. 😃

Western names are fine; names with auspicious meanings are more likely to be adopted.

Since this is a summary of idle and aimless thoughts, I'll just write whatever comes to mind. First of all, the world view of this book is a Frankenstein's monster (that's right). Even I, a complete idiot, can see the following: The Witcher (that's why The Witcher is translated as Wizard), Norse mythology, and the legend of King Arthur (although King Arthur is now just a background character).

Those who know, know. 🤭

This book is well-written. What attracted me were: 1. The author has a clear direction in his writing, indicating that he has a main storyline in mind, which is very important. Some authors start well, but their writing gets off as they go on because they don't know what they're writing about or the direction of their story, making it increasingly rambling. 2.

I read it as the retirement life of an old pervert.
