My True Ancestor, Your Majesty

Let me start with the good stuff, because I really like this book, and saying nice things first will naturally attract casual readers, right? The most striking character is undoubtedly the one corresponding to the title – Makoto Yuki. Both his character development and background setting have completely captivated me. A kami (a type of Japanese magician) whose touch causes all living things to wither, yet he encounters two exceptions. Unsurprisingly, this sparks curiosity and a desire to learn more. However, the author clearly wasn't content with this development that was almost turning into a wish-fulfillment story. He introduced a somewhat immature but righteous protagonist with moral principles and self-awareness, while simultaneously creating a very despairing world...

I think the author could write a longer story, but please don't let it have a bad ending. This book has the potential to become number one on the popularity charts; it just needs time. Right now, your book is the most enjoyable to read among all the popular books on the charts. Honestly, what you wrote actually created vivid images in my mind. I've been reading novels for at least six years, and in those six years, I feel this is the best novel I've ever read. Keep it up! In today's world of formulaic and overly exciting stories, it's truly amazing to find such a good novel. (//∇//)

It's good that the author has their own ideas, after all, a work reflects the author's thoughts. However, I think many parts still need improvement. A tragedy isn't just about everyone dying, and a comedy isn't just about everything going smoothly. If the author is just writing casually for money, I'll immediately leave. Reading a work that isn't carefully crafted is a waste of life. I hope the author will carefully consider the plot in future installments.

I find it hard to believe I'd see a novel like this on the Pineapple Bun Light Novel platform. Before this, I always thought the platform's light novels were a hodgepodge of templates, a distorted ocean desperately trying to cater to the market and readers. But now, I see a lotus flower blooming in this ocean, unpretentious and pure, experiencing both bitterness and sweetness. I'm a recent college graduate, at a crucial crossroads in my life, stepping from the carefree days of campus life into the restrictive realities of society. I've endured hardship and taken many detours; no one taught me these things, I had to experience them all myself...

I started reading at 1 AM and read until 5 AM with no sleepiness. As I type this, only two words are on my mind: Zi Chuan. It's not about plagiarism, but rather that it evoked very nostalgic memories. If I'm not mistaken, this book won't necessarily end in tragedy, but it will leave many regrets, even sadness. The sadness of tragedy doesn't come from constant, ubiquitous devastation, but from the joy and ordinariness of daily life. The more joyful the daily life, the more amplified the sorrow of the final tragedy. Seeing such a nostalgic book in a time of rampant formulaic writing is truly captivating. I hope everyone can calmly experience the world the author has created...

To be honest, the name is quite deceptive to readers. I've read over 200 chapters and the True Ancestor has only appeared in less than 20. After Natsume Hiyoriko's betrayal and even stabbing the male lead, I genuinely disliked this second female lead. Just when I thought that after betraying the male lead, it would finally be the True Ancestor's turn—a female lead living a life even more pathetic than the second female lead—she did appear, only to be stabbed to death. It's quite absurd; it feels like the True Ancestor was just a minor character.

I was quite surprised by this novel. It's hard to imagine that someone would write a protagonist who doesn't fit the trend of online novels these days, but I think it's okay. The constant contradictions and rotations between the cowardly, selfish, willful, and absurd reality and the simple moral and beautiful expectations, I don't dislike it.

The author has been quite busy lately with many trivial matters, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their monthly votes.

The author excels at capturing the characters' emotions, creating numerous tear-jerking moments. The character designs are also very distinctive, such as the True Ancestor and Angelo. Many of the brilliant plot twists in the early part are worth revisiting. However, I felt the latter part of the first book rushed a bit. Perhaps, compared to the protagonist saving the world, I prefer a story of self-redemption.

Has the author abandoned the project?
