I'm a Retired Hero, and Now I'm Raising a Child

The plot and character development in this book are excellent, but the typos and ambiguous sentences seriously detract from the reading experience. Especially in battle scenes, there are frequent typos, grammatical errors, and unclear sentences. I hope the author will proofread and revise them after finishing the book; otherwise, it's really difficult to read. These strangely descriptive sentences often force me to try and decipher their meaning. Also, the author seems to have a particular fondness for interspersing flashbacks and character dialogues, but I hope the author will clarify the logical connections before adding them, otherwise...

Retirement should perhaps mean facing life as an ordinary person… The title alone sparked my interest, and the details revealed my deep love for the work. The tender daughter, the icy yet unexpectedly warm wife—retired heroes don't often flaunt their power; instead, they strive to suppress their anger, allowing themselves to live like ordinary people. Their judgments of evil are often driven by concern for their families' safety, and their acts of salvation stem from helplessness and instinct. This relatable theme perfectly encapsulates the experience of a retired hero. Invincibility isn't about being undefeated in battle, but about facing everything with equanimity…

It's been a long time since I've read novels on this website... I initially started reading this book just to kill some time... And then I found myself... Completely engrossed... It's an old theme... I've seen the familiar formula... But the author's skillful writing and plot development made it very engaging... So I'll offer a slightly different review... My thoughts on the characters... The male lead... Actually, I didn't like this kind of male lead at first... Because I thought... He'd definitely end up playing dumb to gain power... And follow the harem trope... But I was wrong... The author put a lot of effort into character development... What is a hero? A retired hero... Who inexplicably becomes...

When Zemin's identity will be discovered by Ella is currently the biggest highlight of the book, but also its fatal flaw. The suspense of his hidden identity is clearly outdated. Twenty years ago, it might have been fine, as the invisibility trope hadn't been overused, and physical books would release a large portion of the plot at once, making the wait less agonizing. However, in online novels, this is truly fatal. After all, online novels often run to millions of words. If the mystery is solved in just two or three volumes, and another highlight is introduced, that's fine. But if the author intends to drag this out until the end, readers are very likely to lose patience and continue reading. Moreover, if readers are already focused on this identity trope, even if the author introduces a few more highlights, it won't...

The beginning was super heartwarming qwq! The character development was amazing, I loved it! It was like being injected with a super-powerful shampoo, then given a special effect, *duang*, a huge handful of sweet moments were added to my bowl, and then they even photoshopped it so I was holding the bowl and eating it! Later on, the author's writing style declined a bit, maybe the author wanted to write a grand conspiracy to satisfy their urge to write more, anyway, it wasn't as good as the beginning. Even so, it's still a great novel!! Keep it up, author qwq! I'll support you! I don't think the author will read what I write… First, I'll give you a cute pose _(°ω°｣∠)_ Then 3, 2, 1, launch!

The writing is truly terrible. The rambling inner monologues, the inexplicable battle endings, and the disjointed layout make the entire book a waste. The only things that attracted me were the hero theme and the interactions between the male and female leads. This is clearly a light novel, not a manga; the author has completely confused this. The writing is verbose and exaggerated, offering no sense of immersion whatsoever. You can only read this as a manga, not a novel. The emotional connections between the characters are lacking in subtlety and are too rough. Some plot points are inexplicably nauseating. Reading the whole book is just pointless criticism of the novel; I genuinely cannot accept this style of writing for a novel.

This is my first time writing a book review, and I'm quite excited. The premise is exactly what I'm looking for; it hit the nail on the head and immediately piqued my interest. Secondly, the completely new worldview allows for easy adaptation to various changes without being limited by preconceived notions. This is also the first time I've read a novel about raising a daughter after marriage; most stories involve high school students becoming fathers, so this feels particularly novel. The marital relationship is especially noteworthy; the awkwardness gradually dissipates, and their growing bond is filled with warmth. The cuteness of this family of three is something many light novels fail to portray.

First, the title. Honestly, the title has absolutely no appeal; it's just a very ordinary summary. However, in this era of gender-swap, yuri, and harem stories, this relatively simple title is actually more attractive to me. Plus, I personally like heartwarming stories with children… QAQ|||||| Secondly, the synopsis. Author, did you really put any thought into the synopsis? Synopses are practically obsolete! But after seeing so many ridiculous, abnormal, and bizarre synopses, I suddenly feel that the author's synopsis is actually quite good (maybe I'm sick). Also, the fact that the child is born out of wedlock really bothers me; it makes my mind…

This novel is about to be released, and for a poor, stay-at-home person like me, not being able to see a novel I like is incredibly depressing, like parting ways with a friend I finally made. So, I'll give one last review. The invincible protagonist trope isn't common. Even if someone is invincible, the protagonist still encounters many troubles and can't just solve them as quickly as some bald, caped knight. And the most powerful characters in invincible trope are usually the male protagonist. Actually, there's a plot hole in the novel: what's the deal with the shirt with Ella's lipstick that Zemin hid? It couldn't possibly be what Ella was thinking. Also, I didn't understand the hero's side story at all. The novel will slowly fall apart later on...

My first impression of this novel was that it was just another post-retirement rant, but the central theme of an unhappy marriage and a child turned out to be surprisingly interesting. The various events and humorous moments that unfold around the adopted child, stemming from a fake marriage due to special circumstances, are far more entertaining than the title suggested. The inclusion of the female lead's ex-boyfriend is a great touch; after all, an unsuccessful relationship always offers amusing twists and turns. As for the author's skillful use of disjointed chapters and foreshadowing, you really win here. I'm really curious about why Ella and Yodrick broke up in the first place...
