Pokemon: Creation Rhapsody

Why is Ash even going to turn evil? Kaneki Ken's little skit is truly unbelievable.

It's clear that the author has made a new breakthrough in realistic Pokémon stories, with a theme that is completely different from typical Pokémon stories. One thing I really appreciate about this book is its focus on the core issue of class conflict in the Pokémon world, which is the root of many of Ash's later crises and growth.

Red, green, blue

This is a garbage, terrible book. The academic drama is disgusting, and the characters are idiotic, with basically no improvement. Why would I read the novel? I might as well just read the original work.

And it was Pikachu who personally killed Ash's Rattata.

Ahhhh, poor Ash (Red)!

Seeing Rattata die, and then reading the comments, all I can say is that it's a death for the sake of death. He just buried Rattata and then happily caught Gastly. He clearly said he'd remember Team Rocket and avenge Rattata, but then he turned evil and joined Team Rocket? I've only ever seen people turn evil because a Pokémon died, never someone turn evil and join their arch-rival's team.

The main character in this book might not be as good as the original Ash.

The character development in the early stages of your book is problematic. It's all about failure, self-blame, failure, failure, failure, self-blame, self-blame… Without guidance, he would have become withdrawn long ago. And to make matters worse, he became withdrawn again shortly after. I think Ash's accumulated withdrawal across eight generations doesn't even happen this many times.

Well, I've now finished reading all the chapters of this book. I've been reading it for the past few days, and honestly, it's a pretty good book. Ash's character is also very much to my liking. The whole book felt somewhat frustrating; there were just too many failures—or rather, too many described battles.
