Crest of the Star Scar

The "player" in the story is a woman, which isn't a big problem, but her personality is too "feminine," which makes her seem really annoying. I've never felt this uncomfortable even when reading BL (Boys' Love). Putting that aside, everything else is alright.

Did this post get published in the wrong place?

I couldn't continue reading after about ten chapters. The main characters are a detached, cyborg-like native male protagonist and an old man (who is paired with a female player). After more than ten chapters, the author has discarded countless distinctive main characters and background settings.

While the writing style is decent, and the character development is typical of light novels, it lacks the crucial interaction with the female protagonist, and there aren't enough scenes to highlight her charm. It's not an ensemble piece either... So who is this book's target audience? What will keep readers engaged?

I've read dozens of chapters. The protagonist is actually quite an abstract character; he just uses a serious and rigid demeanor to imitate humanity...

After reading for so long, I still find the author's perspective very interesting. The original game's plot is slowly revealed through the dialogue between a native protagonist (a reliable adult male) and a player who doesn't understand the story well and only cares about his wife (a somewhat unreliable bath goddess doge). This is far more interesting than those stories where a transmigrator with a script or system simply describes the script.

Holy crap, the Bathing Goddess has broken down the dimensional barrier and taken over the book cover! The custom champion is causing a huge mess! 😡

The biggest problem is that the romance storyline doesn't develop. There are a bunch of female characters, but their interactions are no different from those of the male characters. Just when a little progress is made (the storyline of drawing crests), it is immediately cut off. The transition chapters are filled with trivial matters, which is really boring to read.

I finished reading it in a few days. It's a good book that I gave up on several times because of its title. You can tell the author isn't a novice, and the world he created is very realistic, rather than the kind of generic, unoriginal Western fantasy setting.

I heard that you are the author of "The Weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings" and "The Cold-Faced Earl," and I have read both of your books. With its well-developed plot and fluent writing, it is indeed a good book. But apart from that, after reading both books, I had the same feeling: your books are like light novels, but they are too heavy to read, carrying too much weight.
