After Becoming a Witch, I'll Turn the Righteous Girls into Witches

First, let's talk about the characters. The protagonist's transformation from good to bad is almost instantaneous, precisely because this book doesn't require any significant emotional development. I've always disliked the idea of character arcs; it's nonsensical. We can't even understand real people, yet we expect to create a lifelike character in writing. Characters are tools for the plot. We remember a fictional character through examples; the person themselves is an empty shell. Therefore, where does this "character arc" come from? As long as the necessary plot points are met, the characters will naturally come alive. I firmly believe that there are only unwritten plot points, not unwritten...

Corruption is about individual liberation, not tyranny. While the author's eccentricities are adept, this work has actually gone against the very values of corruption fiction. Religious brainwashing is bad, Ice Queen brainwashing is bad, but protagonist brainwashing is acceptable? In this case, you can't use the protagonist being the villain as an excuse, because villainous stories actually highlight the individual liberation value embodied in the villain. If the protagonist, as the villain, is also utterly evil, then it's not a villainous story; it's a story with flawed values. Can you then say, "These are my values, and it's none of your business?" No, because the story opposes other villains. Therefore, it's not that the reader is criticizing the author's values, but rather the work itself...

I initially clicked on this book because I had nothing else to read, intending to read a few chapters and then go to sleep. However, the author's descriptions of corruption and the clash of ideologies kept compelling me to click on the next chapter. Even after reading 90,000 words, I still felt unsatisfied. The story's descriptions, the insertion of each plot point, and the overall development of the story were all perfectly executed in my eyes. Perhaps it's not the best novel I've ever read, but it's certainly the one I was most looking forward to. Also: I'm a complete newbie, a primary school student, and I've only ever read textbooks. You can criticize me if you want. Everyone's aesthetic sense and what makes something enjoyable is different. If you find my comments offensive, it only means we have some...

The author has loved these things since childhood, just like me. Unfortunately, I'm too weak; seeing rows and rows of approvals makes me numb, and I don't know how to write anymore. I signed a contract back then, but then the approval process became stricter. I was so desperate that I abandoned the book and deleted my account. I felt that with such strict approvals, what was the point of writing? I felt like I'd never be able to write again. But life goes on, and I wanted to write again, but I just couldn't write well. Now, most people reading light novels here probably come from some really low-brow novel websites, where some perfectly good plots are criticized from all sorts of strange angles. What if today...

Having read many of the author's books, many of which are like this, my advice is not to have high expectations for the content. It only provides a general overview; just take a look. This is a legitimate platform, and the author doesn't have any powerful backing. What's the point of expecting anything from here? Just enjoy it for fun. If you want this kind of content, go find some other adult content. I saw many attractive words, but the substance was minimal, only a general outline with no details. This is due to the limitations of private servers. Also, this author's writing is a bit bizarre and unconventional. If you're looking for a lighthearted read, you might want to skip this; the content is somewhat depressing, which is a major point for me. The above is for reference only...

Depravity is undoubtedly the core of this book, but I also saw much more, such as reflections on human nature and observations of the world. This is what I really liked, because the book doesn't simply explore depravity for its own sake. I believe the author didn't write this just to pander to readers, because it's impossible to write so much about perversion unless one is genuinely interested in this subject. Many scenes can bring a knowing smile to our faces, which is one of the reasons I like this book—simply because I am a pervert. Secondly, the book reflects many things through various plot points...

From initially insulting and attacking the witch, to gradually submitting and sinking deeper into depravity, finally breaking down completely due to the church's actions, Freya actively engages in various forms of play with the witch, corrupts her own sister, and seduces a witch possessing a human personality (this chapter has been removed). Freya's corruption is depicted far more extensively and in greater detail than other characters. While Little Dragon Girl also has a significant role, she is already corrupted upon her first appearance. Episodes like the Ice Queen, Elf Queen, Blood Ancestor, and Insect King, while initially engaging, lose their impact as the build-up and novelty diminish. However, Freya remains captivating. In short...

Why do I update my blog the day after I visit graves?

With the recent conclusion of the Elf Forest arc, I thought I'd write a long review to share my feelings and speculations. I initially discovered this novel through a friend's recommendation, and after reading it in one go, I found it quite enjoyable (some things are definitely better seen in a clean, straightforward text). What I liked most was Freya's character design; the psychological transformation of Freya was brilliantly crafted. Generally, plot lines that lead a character to corruption go like this: the character witnesses evil in the world, is treated maliciously and misjudged, leading to the thought, "What have I been protecting?" This psychological gap causes their corruption level to increase by 1...

Personally, I feel that the corruption plot in this work is lacking something, leaving a sense of emptiness. For example, when Morning Star corrupts others, it's either a direct dissolution and forced brainwashing, or corruption that feels like a complete failure (like the Divine Saintess, who is corrupted but not noticeably). The former is the most cheapest in corruption stories—it's too fast and completely uninteresting; while the latter is like half-cooked rice—neither rising nor falling, leaving no feeling. I believe this problem mainly stems from two aspects. First, the gradual transformation of the corrupted character's inner self is too...
