i think the story telling isnt linear, and we will eventually get the side characters background stories as it goes.
genuinely what i feel. The whole game mechanics wasn’t thoroughly explained and theres not enough narration for me to understand the concepts..could have less smut and more explaining tbh
I agree so much with you.
although some stories can works with non-linear plot, revealing mystery bit by bit but it just doesn't feel that good reading this story in that way.
maybe it's bc what they hide (don't explain) to readers aren't just characters' secrets but also the important part of world building. maybe bc it's related to plot and big reveal, so author can't reveal all the important world building however it take a lot of enjoyment because we aren't familiar with this world building concept at all, unlike stuff like dungeon or otome game.
author fail to make us familiar with the concept of empire building, what lords actually do (except being an icon and having skill to help sometimes), and why no one questions why they suddenly thrown into the game. so everything feel so abrupt and they keep it like that for a long time (one season+)
in turn they focus on smut that just adding more confusion and awkwardness to the characters dynamic (that I just know may not be present in the original novel) so it is just fan service? tbh to me it neither hot or sexy bc I am still very much confused with many stuff
I really like the ideas and concepts but it feels like everything has no context. We are basically being introduced to MC’s kingdom that he made into the #1 kingdom but the only context to this is that he changed his kingdom’s attributes to be dark(this is never explained what this does). Also characters are really close to MC but we are just supposed to know that. I’m not very far but it honestly feels like I missed like 30 chapters or something and am reading in the middle of the story and not the beginning. It feels like I am being told the story in the wrong chronological order or smt. （￣へ￣）
