The Savior Demon King's Cruel Words

Actually, this wasn't my initial idea for the book. So when did I start conceiving the character of Andor? I think I should thank a long period of reading slump. The writing of great authors was excellent, but the plots were all the same: rescuing girls, killing bad guys. The newcomer's ideas were interesting, but most had poorly developed characters or illogical plots, making them unreadable. So, while reading, I kept complaining, thinking about what would happen if this situation occurred, and what kind of awareness a great figure like a demon king or hero should have. I really hate weak, fragile, ordinary people. If you want to be a protagonist, then at least you should pay a price commensurate with it...

The evil words of the savior demon king! When I first saw the title of this book, I thought it was just another pseudo-demon king masquerading as one who does good deeds. I assumed it would be another story about a demon king doing good deeds, and so on. I'd seen countless similar stories on Pineapple Bun. I never call similar styles formulaic because I appreciate the author's writing; I like it, so what if it's formulaic? So I clicked on it, and then I realized I was wrong. The story was completely different from what I imagined, more like a hymn-like play, or rather, a play-like performance...

Initially, this work was just a trial run, intended to be a story of a hero and a demon king told from the perspective of a villain, exploring various questions about "justice and evil" and "right and wrong" through a series of short stories. At first, it was just a trial, so I didn't think too much about it. I simply envisioned it as something like *Kino's Journey* or *The Bookshelf of Dantalian*, with an overall operatic style, unrealistic yet unexpectedly dramatic. This is why Andor always refers to his plans as "scripts" and his actions as "performances." You see, the protagonist's girlfriend doesn't appear until volume four, and she doesn't have much screen time...

There's only admiration, no love. The protagonist is entirely driven by himself and the star he loves, pushing the era towards his desired happy ending—a truly happy ending where everyone is happy, but many die. The protagonist is deceiving, but because of this deception, he does many good deeds; he's both a hero and a sinner. My favorite battle is the fight between the swordsman and the god, which vividly portrays the grandeur of the land and the pursuit of goals. I also like the chapter where Raven cries, showing that achieving goals inevitably involves sacrifice and loss. I prefer the ending yet to be written, because I believe it will be a happy one, but whether it's a perfect ending is another matter...

Please look forward to the new book, The Knight's Story!

I believe this book deserves to be published.

I finished reading this book last year, but I saved it up before the side stories were finished. Now I plan to reread it and read the side stories as well. In my mind, this is no longer a "novel" but a "book." But has the author stopped writing...? That's quite a shame.

The first time I saw this book, I downloaded it on a whim because it was about a demon king. Later, out of boredom, I read a few chapters, but couldn't understand them, so I put it aside. When I read it again, it felt very subtle, but I still didn't understand. I reread the character introductions to clarify the protagonist's identity, and from then on, I was hooked. The protagonist isn't a good person; he's a bad person. Everything he does is for that eternal star. The female protagonist, a heroine, meets him by fate, but doesn't know his identity or true nature, mistaking fate for destiny. She falls for him, but not in love. Yet, through their interactions, her liking transforms into love. But the protagonist...

I don't know much about literature, so please forgive me if I'm wrong! The novel's structure is very interesting, like a stage play unfolding from a series of events (perhaps it could be performed on stage?). It concisely describes the Demon King's salvation plan using major events as key points, interspersed with humorous commentary. The content doesn't drag, and new characters are constantly introduced, each with their own personality and characteristics. (How many words do I need to write? So tiring…) The plot revolves around the Demon King's salvation plan…

I downloaded Pineapple Bun just to read it a third time; this novel gets better and better with each reading, I don't know why it's not more popular. And it's free! A masterpiece!
