Isn't It Wrong for a Demon King to Become a Hero?

Sorry for the interruption today!

Looking back on junior high, and now university, three years have passed in a blur, with no new writings to share. This book was once my sun, moon, stars, flames, and everything that could illuminate me; it still is, and it will be in the future.

First, let me start with myself. After reading novels on Pineapple Bun for so long, I've found that while the overall quality is average, it's much better than online novels, perhaps just with the added "light" label. I'm not poor, nor am I rich; I could easily afford to spend a couple hundred yuan a month on in-game currency, but I've never done so. I have a principle—every penny spent must be worth two. I enjoy reading, especially history-related books, followed by other popular science books, but I don't like reading online. To put it bluntly, I look down on online serialized articles, even if there are masterpieces among them, I won't...

I've been wanting to delete it, but I can't bear to.

There's been a lot going on at school lately, so I've been really tired from writing and haven't been able to update much each day. But it's okay! I've finished everything today! I'm still just too tired, so sorry~ I'll definitely update with more than 4000 words tomorrow to make up for it!

The author has already written so much in the prologue, which shows just how ambitious they are. The world-building is also frighteningly vast; to be honest, I felt there was too much information, spanning several eras, yet all in fragmented pieces. I felt as dizzy as the protagonist. It's not to say it's bad, but in this age of fast-paced reading, this kind of plot progression feels a bit risky. It's a bit mentally taxing, and I can't keep up. I'll probably abandon it for now, but hopefully I'll see it on a recommendation list someday.

What attracted me to this book was its title, "[The Demon King Who Becomes a Hero]". I read a bit out of curiosity and found that both the character design and the background setting were very much to my liking. Unlike typical invincible protagonist novels that mindlessly boast, this one features a protagonist whose strength is greatly reduced after awakening and needs time to recover. This gives subordinates opportunities to appear, preventing it from feeling like the grand finale from the start and avoiding reader fatigue. The first volume, in particular, effectively sets the tone, making the reader feel relaxed after the "nation-destroying" plot while still leaving them curious about what follows. I personally think it's a huge loss not to read it. Again, it's awesome, I'm absolutely blown away!

One last break today because of studying! I'll try to catch up next week! Sorry!

My previous book review was rather vague, largely because I didn't pinpoint the central theme and instead rambled on unnecessarily. Let me share my thoughts from the first volume up to the academy competition. I've thought about it carefully for a long time, and what distinguishes this book from others is the male protagonist. The author probably wanted to portray the protagonist's growth from his first era in the other world to the modern era as that of an ordinary boy, from his initial timidity and fear, to his desperate resistance, then to his compromise and retreat, his loneliness and breakdown, and finally to his current state of cherishing everything yet fearing its loss. In essence, the protagonist's character hasn't changed. Let's summarize the whole story: The protagonist roughly...

This is a very good novel. The plot and character development are excellent, and the writing is concise. The classic demon king and hero theme is also very appealing. It revisits the past without dwelling on it, exploring one's own past and the history of the world, making it as fun as a puzzle game—perfect for my taste. Most importantly, the protagonist finally seems to have a real cheat code, unlike other novels where the protagonist has a cheat code but still manages to fight a weakling, which feels incredibly awkward. The harem is a bit large; hopefully, it won't fall apart on that aspect. As for the update speed, I think it's best for the author to decide for themselves, after all, it's their world.
