Reviews of To Be a Power in the Shadows! by animexpro - Webnovel

Alright. The comedy of this novel is based on misunderstanding, I can dig that, it was funny at first but here's the thing about misunderstanding, when the character is being thrown TONS of evidence that this is a misunderstanding, it stop being funny, it becomes frustrating. And that's exactly what happens in this novel, the misunderstanding stay the same, when really it should have been cleared up and then introduce a new one, that's how it should have been done. Second point, don't introduce romance if it's to just have a ****ing dense MC that won't catch up on the feeling. That's, once again, frustrating. It's alright, you can introduce female characters that doesn't get wet when she met MC, so do that if you don't go anywhere with your "romance". The MC is a sociopath, all is a game to him, even when people who are close to him had a traumatic experience, he doesn't give a sh*t. He could kill the ones that cares about him if it were fun. Problem is, the character isn't actually described as such, he talk about friends and such but act as a sociopath, it's not clever writing, it's bad writing. Now, the novel did gave me some laugh, and the fight are pretty cool, hence the 3 stars, but the frustration upon reading this novel just made me drop it. Try it, maybe you won't get as bothered as me toward certain things
