fmcs with truly novel careers
fmcs with truly novel careers
for the people who are tired of the genius entertainment stars, doctor, gamer, and hacker fmcs--aka the typical webnovel jobs
most are 4+ stars; ordered by my read completion date (books without reviews are to-be-read)
commentary includes: fml and ml's jobs + rating of how well career plays into the story + general book review
my career-and-plot-integration (CPI) rating scale:
1- career is a feature of the fml's backstory and/or character setup; there's no function other than a way to meet other characters or start a plotline; barely any mention of fml putting in meaningful work; the readers would have forgotten what her job was if the author didn’t bring it up once or twice
2- career is just a hobby or a means to fund other activities; sporadic mentions of working; main focus is on fml's personal life but her job is not entirely forgotten; work responsibilities are occasionally factored into her plans
3- career is mostly present in fml's daily life; it’s mentioned consistently throughout the story but can be easily placed aside for personal events; think slice of life with romance as the priority
4- career is very important to the fml and she dedicated time and effort towards it; at times, it takes precedence over love and personal wellbeing; real professional knowledge may be referenced; passably realistic depictions of said career
