The Eminence in Shadow (light novel)
Apratim said: ejleon said: I would like to honestly ask what you like about Cid? I think they made a mistake in writing his post isekai-ed character as a person without simple communication skills, obviously repetitive and predictable, arrogant self-centered greedy money-loving, self made actor playing multiple rolls, while pretending Shadow Garden is all a game. The way his Bs works everytime, the misunderstanding he creates, the carefree life he lives, kills opponent without any hesitation ( Not like 99.99% of weak ass hearted harem/shounen mc who can't even kill), And he is a chad not a pathetic simp. How can anyone not like him? And he saves the people around him as well. And in the Manga he is more dam funny The “misunderstandings” everyone keeps talking about, were funny for the first … 4-6 episodes in the first season (that’s being generous), but after that they became so obviously repetitive and predictable that it was just not funny anymore, in fact, it has become extremely annoying and lame. The “care free life” you mentioned means he really does not care about anything of anyone in this world, he doesn’t even recognize his sister is in danger, Shadow Garden goes to save her instead for Cid. Actually he doesn’t take down enemies right away, he toys with them until he is bored and then just kills them like he should have just done in the first place. I don’t know any isekai male MC characters that are simps. I know isekai male MC characters that are bashful, shy, nervous, immature, lacking experience, or morally restrained until marriage. I hate him because he could have been so much better if he was just written as the pre-isekaied character in the new world that wanted to gain power and help save people, working with Shadow Garden to rid his new world of scum and filth. He saves people when it’s a part of his “roll playing plan”, not because he actually cares about those people or cares about being a hero. I wonder how much worse he is in the written material, maybe I’ll read it and criticize that too. And how do people not realize that Cid is the joke in this anime, people are not laughing with him, but at him? |

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating. |
Apollo_Injustice said: V1P3R0P said: Yeah that's the kind of idea I was going for, like a "what if?" Like Bug Bunny taking the artists pencil kind of thing. Rewrite the story to where Alpha was the one who was isekai'd and she finds the girls and saves them, except without Cid's take on humor. Again.. Shadow is what made Alpha's character, and thats why you like her character. I find it unfathomable, to imagine a world of Eminence in shadow without Cid. But I guess there is a lot that could be explored in a "what if? " situation. now I'm curious. How would you put that into play? how do you think the story will progress and plot points explored in this situation. Like, there is a "what if" situation where Cid and Ainz swap bodies. It was just a preulde, but it felt a bit intriguing. |
| Blasphemy Cid is absolutely hilarious |

| Cid is the reason why this series is a 10/10, without him, I'll probably just give it a 7/10. I do wonder if you delete most of the comedy and use those times for the storytelling, how much can it improve? A story from Alpha's pov questioning whether or not the entity called Shadow is an ally or foe. It can be about Alexia too, trying to keep up with 2 mysterious organizations. Cid will still be there, but he's not the goofy MC we know, he's merely a questionable side character. It won't be as unique as it is tho, execution is what matter the most right? |

Just enjoy the goddamn show dude and if u don’t like it then drop it you are taking this anime way too seriously more so than the author himself π think of this show as Spyxfam but for the isekai genre Thanks for your concern, but I’m not taking it to seriously. It is fine for me to give a critique of an anime I’m going to rate. I was interested in hearing your opinion, and shared my own. No reason to respond like I’m the problem, that’s just rude. “SpyxFam for isekai” now that would be funny. This is not a parody of isekai if that’s what you mean, that would be good, but this is not enjoyable. Cid is purposely made the joke in this anime, people are not laughing with him, but at him. The writer could have made this so much better, but it’s written for the masses. |
