Review of the Novel "He Became the Only Ally of the Abandoned Warrior"

"He Became the Only Ally of the Abandoned Warrior" is a Korean web novel written by the author known as Bad Friend. The story revolves around the protagonist who becomes the sole ally and savior of a warrior who had previously bullied and ignored him. This warrior, after being brutally betrayed and mutilated by her comrades, is left utterly dependent on the protagonist for survival, leading to her obsessive attachment to him.

Plot and Characters

The plot begins with the protagonist rescuing the warrior, who had been left for dead by those she once trusted. As she recovers, she develops a deep, almost pathological dependency on the protagonist, driven by her physical and emotional trauma. The novel delves into the complexities of their relationship, exploring themes of betrayal, loyalty, and the psychological aftermath of trauma.

In addition to the main pair, the story introduces other significant characters, such as a saintess and the leader of a thieves' guild, adding layers of intrigue and conflict. The narrative is set in a dark fantasy world where magic and violence are commonplace, and the characters' interactions are marked by deep emotional and psychological intensity.

Strengths and Weaknesses

One of the novel's strengths is its ability to capture the reader's attention through the emotionally charged dynamics between the characters. The author does not shy away from depicting the brutal realities of the world, which adds depth and realism to the story. The contrast between the warrior's former strength and her subsequent fall into dependency creates a compelling narrative arc.

However, the novel also has its weaknesses. The pacing is somewhat slow, which may deter some readers, and the plot occasionally falls into familiar genre tropes. Some might find the story predictable at times, with certain developments feeling overly familiar within the context of dark fantasy.

Conclusion

"He Became the Only Ally of the Abandoned Warrior" is a gripping tale that will appeal to fans of dark fantasy and psychological drama. While it has some pacing issues and relies on genre clichés, it stands out for its intense character interactions and the emotional depth of its story. It's a worthwhile read for those looking for something that explores the darker side of human relationships within a fantasy setting?

“A, a dragon!!”

“We have to offer a live sacrifice!!”

“A dragon devouring the kingdom! I, the hero of Asgard, have come to vanquish you!”

I’m not a dragon, you fools.

Shen Yi’an transmigrated into a poorly written novel on a certain website, becoming the protagonist with a green hat, the sixth prince of the Great Qing Dynasty, His Highness The King Of Chu!

One female lead, multiple male leads – how is this not a Tom and Jerry ensemble? Isn’t this an insult to the pure love warriors?

Fine, fine, fine. You all go chase the female lead, you all like grazing on the grasslands and enjoy galloping on horseback.

But I’ll take the demon queen instead.

While you’re all fighting over the female lead, the demon queen is already in my arms, cooing and asking me not to bully her.

When you think you’re about to succeed, the demon queen and I are already celebrating our first wedding anniversary.

The female lead suddenly shows up at my door?

I’ll instantly transform into the judge of pure love and backhand her with a massive nose punch.

Sorry, I have a violent temper when it comes to green tea (infidelity). I tend to lash out by habit.

Since I’m good-looking, I might as well become an actor.

At the end of the story, I found myself in the body of a hidden villain, betraying the heroines.

Since I’m not particularly concerned about the end of the world, I’m calmly waiting for the finale…

“You’re the only one who truly appreciated my painting of the boa.”
“When I make plans to meet you at four, my heart starts racing at three... is this what they call being tamed?”

For some reason, the heroines are starting to take an interest in me.

I reincarnated as Luna, a supporting character who is accused of ruining the heroine and hero’s relationship, and is mu*dered.

I’m not interested in someone else’s man, but the heroine’s friends bully me every day.

“Why are you trying to get close to someone who’s already taken?”

“That’s right, please stop! Why are you doing this?”

“Stop doing such terrible things!”

So Luna decides to announce it in front of everyone.

“I don’t want someone like Fersen even if you beg me to take him so stop bothering me. I’d rather date Anthes Vincent, who’s rumored to be insane.”

And soon she meets someone who she never expected to meet……

“I heard you have an interest in me? The truth is, I do too. Is it a coincidence?”

Chi Jing is a succubus. Just before coming of age, he transmigrated into a popular novel from Lu Jiang, becoming the much-hated fake young master.

In this world, the fake young master exists solely to highlight the true young master’s kindness and obedience, eventually being abandoned, humiliated, and dying alone.

When he transmigrated, the original owner had just been kicked out by his family to fend for himself in a rundown little apartment. To support himself, the original owner, who was incapable of anything, signed a contract with a shady entertainment company.

Looking at the communication accounts blacklisted everywhere on his phone, Chi Jing smiled indifferently.

He would be universally hated?

No one could dislike a succubus!

“You sloppy orc~ You can’t take down a girl?”

He became the Mesugaki character in the Academy game.

But the taunt works too well.

Review of Mesugaki Tank Enters The Academy

Mesugaki Tank Enters The Academy is a unique web novel that blends action, fantasy, and comedy with a gender-bender twist. The story follows a male protagonist who is transmigrated into the world of his favorite game, only to find himself in the body of a female character known for being a mischievous and provocative "Mesugaki"—a character trope known for their brattiness and ability to irritate others.

The central plot revolves around the protagonist’s struggle to adapt to his new life in this game world. He not only has to navigate the complex social hierarchy of the academy but also manage the challenges posed by the character's infamous reputation. A particularly intriguing aspect is the protagonist's passive skill, which makes everything he says come off as annoying or provocative. This leads to numerous misunderstandings and complicates his interactions with other characters, often with humorous or frustrating results.

The novel excels in its world-building and character development. The author effectively creates a world that feels immersive and dynamic, where the protagonist’s knowledge of the game offers both advantages and unexpected challenges. The fight scenes are well-crafted, providing a good mix of tension and strategy, which complements the slower-paced moments of character introspection and growth.

However, the novel isn't without its flaws. Some readers might find the constant misunderstandings due to the protagonist's passive skill to be a bit repetitive, and there is a noticeable lull in the middle sections of the story where the pacing slows down. Despite these issues, the novel's strengths in humor, action, and a satisfying narrative arc make it an engaging read.

Overall, Mesugaki Tank Enters The Academy is a well-executed story that will appeal to fans of gender-bender and fantasy genres, especially those who enjoy a blend of action and comedy with a twist of light-hearted frustration.

I definitely just wanted to be a VTuber…

But when I came to my senses, I had become an actor.

Jingyi has transmigrated! Jingyi has traveled from modern times to a rural village in ancient times. The Jing family in Xiwang Village is kind and amiable. The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jing, are caring, and the two younger brothers are lively and adorable, albeit a little poor. But what’s the problem with that? Jingyi is determined to work hard and strive for success. Stall selling -> Buy land; Open a shop -> Buy land; Buy land, buy land, buy land! Jingyi declares, “No matter what business I do, buying land is my priority.”

During his journey of hard work, he encounters his destined little husband, “Chuxia… hehe…” “Chuxia… hehe…”

Chuxia:…

Chuxia: My husband can be clever and charming in front of others, but in front of me, he’s just like an eight-year-old.

At first, Lu Yu was dumbfounded.

Crossing to a primitive era, and the gold finger given to him is a game panel?!

Even if the game panel can retrieve the beast’s information and get the items dropped by them, which looks very practical.

But he is a weak chicken ah ah ah ah!!

Can he beat the beasts or the beasts will beat him ah! Very deceiving!!

Finally, Chef Lu Yu, who is about to live in the perilous jungle, meets the tiger-like Matai that eats nothing but raw meat.

Lu Yu wanted to be friends with the King of Matai only to find out his eyes full of blood staring at himself.

This guy—he really treats me like I’m five years old.

Well, that works perfectly. Time to play along and…
