The Fake Girl Sparkle's Dating Journey

First, I want to express my respect for SF's book review system, regarding the inability to post a review. Well, it's been exactly a month since my last review. Following the author's daily update frequency of 31 chapters, I've finally figured out why the word count seems to be decreasing lately, even though it hasn't changed. Firstly, there's the issue of plot pacing. Three weeks ago, the protagonist was supposed to go on a date with Shido, and then a side story, seemingly foreshadowing, was inserted. However, as a side story, the author spent far too much time on it, from the 11th to the 6th of this month...

Actually, I feel it's not that Gilgamesh is too bloodthirsty, but rather that he's a bit too serious (the legendary "serious Gilgamesh"), using the "Ea" technique right from the start. His disregard for life, perhaps due to the inherent setting of Date A Live—the spirits are to be exterminated, a death-or-death situation—was a problem. To avoid becoming a depressing war story, the original work portrayed the spirits as kind and naive, leading to a kissing seal followed by a date. Clearly, Gilgamesh doesn't fit this formula. As for the plot stalling, it seems the author didn't integrate these two elements well; a war-fighting character entering a war-themed setting...

Go to Lily

Author, if you dare to let Gilgamesh get married, I'll fuck you to death! (▼皿▼#)

Well, regarding the mistake in my last book review, hehe... Let me first talk about my current feelings about this book. I'm just an ordinary reader, and my book reviews are purely subjective. So, if it's well-written, it's good; if it's not, I won't write a review to avoid arguments. But this book is different. It's the first book I've ever poured my heart and soul into following on SF. I read every single brief review and long review others gave me, then added their content to my own review. I even went so far as to create a mini-outline for parts I didn't quite understand, trying to guess the author's future plans...

Well, I've been having a blast with the doujinshi festival lately, and I feel like a completely different person. Seriously, Rem yuri doujinshi are just so amazing (-o-)! First, there's the ever-present issue of pacing. How to put it... I feel like the author has a Maeda anime vibe. Great plot, great writing, and terrible pacing~ Someone in the review section commented that the plot is dry. Is the plot dry? No. But why does it feel dry? Ultimately, it's a word count issue. That's the problem.

Sweep the tombs and pay respects

Author, are you on the surface or underground? Come back soon!

Well, another month has passed, so it's time for me to ramble on again. This review won't discuss the book's content, but rather some of my personal subjective thoughts and recent opinions from fellow readers. This review is heavily influenced by personal feelings, so just in case, and also to show off a little, I must declare beforehand that I'm a seasoned keyboard warrior, so please don't come looking for trouble, thank you. First, let's address the ending of *Gilgamesh*: marriage, yuri (lesbian relationship), or a lonely life. I don't understand why some readers dislike the marriage aspect (it seems the author also does). While I personally don't care, I still want to emphasize this point here, even though this book is about *Gilgamesh*...

The following are my personal opinions. Since I'm not the author and don't have an outline, my comments are inevitably subjective. Therefore, I'm simply interpreting this book from the perspective of a reader. First of all, this is a Date A Live fanfiction, and among many Date A Live novels, it's a very high-quality work. Let's start with the main characters. Ah, seeing Gilgamesh made me an instant fan. Among the many characters in the Holy Grail War, Gilgamesh and Archer are my favorites. Seeing the King naturally makes me want to pay homage. The author's writing skills are quite good, easily drawing the reader into the vivid imagery...
