Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

A Wicked Witch, trailed by vengeful spirits and curses.

“Hey, Tin Can! Did I not tell you to stop causing trouble?!”

A Courageous Lion, descended from the bloodline of a hero.

“Uh, no matter what, this seems like a bit much, no? Huh? Whatever doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger? Um, Sir Knight? Sir Knight!?”

A Scarecrow, sealed away for pursuing the taboo.

“Despite appearances, I’m quite capable from the shoulders up. Below that, you say? Let’s see, if I had to give a cold self-assessment… perhaps an emergency shield?”

A Solitary Tin Knight, forever barred from human warmth.

[The ‘Tin Knight’ urges everyone to initiate the boss battle, saying the cut scene is over!]

This is a cruel, fairytale-like adventure story told by twisted protagonists.

…Maybe!

If you're looking for a story that perfectly blends classic fantasy adventure with a unique, game-like twist, I Became a Tin Knight is a must-read. The novel throws you right into the action with a mysterious prologue where the main character, who you inhabit in a second-person perspective, wakes up in a strange room and is tasked with controlling the soul of a legendary Tin Knight. This setup immediately creates an engaging dynamic, as you are both the player and the character, experiencing the world through a fascinating dual lens.... more>> The narrative then introduces us to Dorothea, a snarky and powerful apprentice witch on a mission for the king. Her path quickly crosses with the Tin Knight's, and their interactions are the heart and soul of the story. Dorothea is far from a damsel in distress; she's capable, intelligent, and has a sharp tongue that leads to some genuinely funny moments. The Tin Knight, controlled by the reader, is a silent protagonist whose actions and thoughts are conveyed through system-like messages that only certain characters can perceive. This creates a unique and often hilarious communication barrier that drives much of their early relationship.

The plot itself is a well-paced adventure, sending our heroes on a quest to recover lost royal treasures. This journey takes them through abandoned castles, bustling cities full of corruption, and into conflict with nobles and bandits alike. The world-building is solid, establishing a kingdom with a rich history and complex political landscape without ever feeling like an info-dump. The pacing is excellent, with a great balance of action, character development, and humorous dialogue. The fight scenes are brutal and visceral, showcasing the Tin Knight's overwhelming power in a satisfying way, while the quieter moments allow the characters' personalities to shine. The addition of Adelaide, a young noblewoman who joins their party, adds another layer to the group dynamic. Her growth from a sheltered girl into a capable warrior under the Tin Knight's unconventional training is one of the novel's most rewarding arcs. The writing style is light and easy to read, with a humorous tone that keeps the story from ever becoming too grim, despite the dark situations the characters often find themselves in. It cleverly plays with fantasy and game tropes, making for a fresh and entertaining experience.

What truly makes this novel stand out is the unique perspective and the fantastic character chemistry. The relationship between the pragmatic, sometimes cynical Dorothea and the game-logic-driven, battle-hungry Tin Knight is a joy to watch unfold. They bicker and tease, but a genuine bond of trust and companionship forms between them. The later addition of the enigmatic vampire Sophia further enriches the party, adding new mysteries and abilities to the mix. The story is full of memorable moments, from the Tin Knight's disastrous attempts at cooking to Dorothea's clever use of necromancy to bluff her way out of trouble. It’s a story that doesn't take itself too seriously but still delivers a compelling plot and characters you'll grow to love. It avoids major spoilers, but the journey is filled with enough twists and turns to keep you hooked from beginning to end. For anyone who enjoys isekai, fantasy adventures with a touch of comedy, and strong, witty characters, this novel is a fantastic find that delivers on all fronts. <<less

Update: I recommend waiting until at least 200+ chapters are out. The story is decent but the pacing is rather slow, and the current arc (that's not locked behind a paywall by Genesis, at least) isn't very interesting so it's not worth waiting for the next chapter to be unlocked.

So far, this is a fairly amusing dark fantasy take on The Wizard of Oz. Our nameless protagonist is reincarnated (? Kinda vague, he's also shown controlling a computer) as the titular Tin Man. Dorothy is a clever necromancer apprentice of... more>> the Wicked Witch of the East, who stumbles upon the Tin Knight and makes a contract with him. Since he still has the soul of an Earthling who insists on adhering to story tropes and characterizations, he comes off like a lunatic (he's also not shy about brutally mu*dering anyone he deems as evil at the drop of a hat). They set off on a quest to gather the 8 McGuffins that were requested by the king, all the while slaughtering anyone unfortunate enough to interfere in their quest.

Translation: As usual with Genesis, the translation is stiff and awkward to read. It wouldn't surprise me if this was a machine translation. It's line-by-line, as if robots (or Google) are reading a script. <<less

This is a crazy novel very losely based on the Wizard of Oz universe, with an interesting narrative choice of alternating between two viewpoints: the omniscient viewpoint of the narrator inside the "story" and the viewpoint of the "player" manipulating the tin knight behind his computer.

The gamer is "you" and "your" experience of the adventure is necessarily different from the one the tin knight actually lives, but the two "yous" have one thing in common: they are playing around and having a lot of fun, seeing all this as a... more>> game (from the tin knight's point of view, he is reincarnated into a game world) !

Because of this setting the level of seriousness is close to 0. The witch, Dorothea, is on a serious quest, but, at the end of the day, she's only doing it because she doesn't want to get scolded by her master... Adel (the lion) is also on a serious quest to reclaim her family's territory and honor, but she becomes crazier by the minute, following the teachings of the tin knight, and she forgets her goals most of the time. And the tin knight... has never taken anything seriously to begin with. The "scarecrow" is a scholar enjoying the ride... So, yeah, so far the story is just a very funny and lighthearted series of adventures with a crazy cast of completely mismatched traveling companions.

Each chapter is fun.

I'm still wondering why that harem tag exists (the author himself/herself p that tag on the novel), though, because the only "male" is the tin knight and he's litteraly a magical doll made of pipes contained in a full-plate armor... But romance is really not the point here, so who cares! <<less
