| Sorry for the late reply but I just barely ended up reading this on a whim because I had no internet. This novel is easily some of the most uninspired and unimaginative pieces of shit I've ever read. The comedy is stale, the writing is average at best, the action is underwhelming, the characters were as typical as one could get, and the plot was pretty average, though it at least does its job. The only saving grace here would be the main antagonist since he's actually a complete badass -- but that's only because he's almost a 1:1 copy from the antagonist of the "Dies irae" visual novel. In fact, quite a few things from this novel felt copied from Dies, I don't really care enough to go into it though. It's funny that you dropped it where you did, because ironically, those parts where it was just the protagonist screwing around ended up being the most enjoyable parts of the whole ordeal. So to answer your question: yes, dropping it was the best choice you could have made here. Those two hours I spent reading this are two hours I'm never getting back. |
