This book is so fun! I’d probably give it a 4.5, but I’ll just round up to 5. There’s a lot happening, and the author is definitely taking their time filling in background, but the story does keep moving forward, and it’s never boring. I’m very invested in all the chaos, and, having read works by this author before, I’m confident they’ll get around to explaining things eventually. Until then, as a reader, I’m enjoying the crazy ride, and that’s what I’m really here for, at the end of the... more>> day. <<less

Not bad so far! The beginning is more horror-like, eerie, when you don't know what's going on, but soon after getting his sidekick, the tone shifts to more humorous. A horror setting with comedic characters?

The plot so far is interesting and straightforward. The MC gets "a quest to save a princess" and tries to complete it while further learning about his new world and his own powers. Minor spoiler, as it happens in the first few chapters: ( ((when he dies, he soon comes back to life as if... more>> he never died.)))

I don't see the connection with the title "Hotel" yet, but it is still chapter 45.

The world-building is interesting but suffers a bit from amateurish writing.

There is an organization that works as a cardboard placeholder organization. Imagine a cartoon where the scene cuts to workers watching monitors and reacting to graph fluctuations. That's all they do. There are operatives, but they mostly miss the MC's shenanigans and so far seem like headless chickens.

The MC is a good guy type who likes to tease his sidekick. The sidekick is typical female character with less braincells than MC to make him look smarter. <<less

I mean the novel seems pretty interesting so far with a guy who has the power to connect to various dimensions. Even though there is not really a plotline, the story itself has been pretty interesting so far with a diverse cast of characters who have a lot of personalities. The interaction between different groups and characters has been very interesting. I hope the translator continues this story as I can see potential in it getting even better.

The premise is good, and it’s written well—so well in fact that the plot still makes no sense even at chapter 130.

The author wants to be so suspenseful and mysterious that it became too much.

The chapters are written in the pattern that introduce an event, like an explanation of a concept or a new character. But then the chapters ends so abruptly because another crisis or supernatural event suddenly occurs in the middle—sometimes completely unrelated—leaving the previous event unsolved or unexplained way until several chapters later. But even then, they’re... more>> still somehow unexplained, because a new crisis interrupts the explanation. So now there’s the new crisis/event/scenario that inserted itself from the previous event, but then this one is also interrupted because another new thing happened. And this pattern goes on and on right up until when I last read. That’s one hundred chapters of that pattern.

This isn’t even written in a nonlinear plot (think flashbacks, no chronological order), it just genuinely is a messy narrative.

I’m still going to read it though, but I just wanted to write this review as a sort of cautionary note. <<less
