Ch. 234Naofumi said:
It's taken me a while but I've almost finished the WN. It's good but a bit repetitive in some parts. Naofumi has a very based mentality and I like that. It's not really blackpilled but its acknowledgement of hierarchy and female nature is an improvement over most fiction. "Believe in yourself", "the sky's the limit" and other such platitudes don't resound with this WN.
Many of the "heroes" in this WN are exposed as being idealistic with a distorted sense of justice, power seeking and driven by ego. Naofumi, on the other hand, focuses more on the survival of himself and his companions. In the end he is far more heroic than those who made decisions based solely on their sense of justice.
I'm up to date on the anime and manga and I've read the first few volumes of the LN. The WN is far less watered down than the other versions. Naofumi in the WN is far more cynical and cognizant of the nature of human interaction. In the other versions he is more "bluepilled" so to speak.
Anyway, has anyone else read this?
