They Are Not Human! - Reviews

Alright, when I was reading, I noticed there was no harem tag, and I should give a heads up that the story contains mature content, involving perversion, psychopathy, and possibly some disturbing themes. The main character (MC) is a typical introvert, initially timid and cowardly, which is common for characters in this genre. Although it starts off annoying, he does show gradual growth, albeit at a slow pace. He's attractive but not overly godlike; rather, he has an intriguing charm when faced with bullying, as even the love interests (MLs) acknowledge he's not the most handsome.

The love interests are a mixed bag – I have mixed feelings about them. There are numerous ones, and I've seen a list in one of the floor comments, but that's only a quarter of them! The story involves intimate interactions with every single one of them.

In terms of plot, it's actually engaging, with a series of mysteries unraveled throughout. It explores various aspects such as the system, NPCs, monsters, gameplay, and even human dynamics. When the story delves into the concept of 'nest copies,' it keeps readers guessing, as nothing is predictable, aside from the consistent presence of the MLs' perverted behavior.

However, that's where my patience ran out. Initially, I disliked the harem aspect, but for some reason, I continued reading, perhaps because I liked the MC. But the constant perversion became too much, and it was creeping me out. Be aware that about 95% of the content revolves around those situations.

I might consider reading it once it's fully translated, but for now, I've decided to take a break.

The novel is quite engaging if you can overlook the male characters with perverted intentions towards our timid protagonist. Pay close attention to the complex personalities and the 'male yandere' theme, as many pursuing Wen Qing embody these traits. As I mostly relied on machine translation, my comprehension might not be perfect, but I believe I grasp the essence.

I genuinely appreciated the storylines; they were intriguing and contained unexpected twists. Each scenario felt purposeful, contributing to world-building and offering insights into the gods controlling the world and its mysteries. As Wen Qing experiences each copy, he gradually pieces together clues, attempting to unravel the world's secrets.

Our main character can be a bit of a crybaby, so if you prefer strong and assertive protagonists, this might not be your cup of tea. However, I admire his growth over time as he learns to fight back and defend himself, though not always successfully due to the power imbalance.

In the first copy, his excessive crying can be attributed to the negative emotions the environment induces, causing depression, fear, or sadness, as per my interpretation. After the initial arc, his crying reduces as he adapts to the world.

The novel boasts a vast cast of male leads, and while I have favorites, they face challenges in obtaining Wen Qing's affections. The harem tag accurately represents the numerous characters who fall for him, with varying levels of complexity.

Here's a brief overview of some key male leads:

1. Ji Yu: Terrifying and reminiscent of a devil, he seeks to manipulate humanity's descent into chaos. Despite his deceptive charm, both MC and I were deceived by him.
2. Si Kong: A god on the side of humans, he's trustworthy and supportive, making Wen Qing feel safe around him.
3. Yu Xing: Focused on lust and love, he's unpredictable and enjoys playing mind games. While not entirely malicious, he sexually harasses the MC.
4. Zhou Zhou: A terrifying human lead with an obsessive interest in Wen Qing, often crossing boundaries.
5. Bai Tong: A decent ML, respectful, and protective, he's a rare positive presence among Wen Qing's suitors.
6. Oz: Another intense character, not as bad as Zhou Zhou but still forceful, with a hint of respect for MC's boundaries.
7. Ye Ye: A tsundere-like character who develops a crush on Wen Qing, eventually becoming friends.
8. Xing Ze: One of my favorites, an NPC turned ally who cares for and protects Wen Qing, though not the main ML candidate.

While I'm uncertain about the true love interest, I suspect it might be 001, the sentient system that provides support to Wen Qing, a theory I'm fond of.

In conclusion, the story isn't bad and has its merits, especially in terms of storylines and character development. Despite its length, I'm still engaged and plan to continue, albeit at a slower pace.

I've just completed the initial storyline (The Guide) through machine translation. My rating is subjective, based on my initial impressions. Let me clarify, this review is from after reading the first arc.

Initially, the 'comedy' and 'unlimited flow' tags, along with 'yaoi,' attracted me. However, the aftertaste wasn't pleasant. The main character (MC) displays a timid, cowardly nature, and cries frequently. In the first arc alone, I lost count of his crying episodes and reactions; when scared or harassed, he mostly freezes, apart from crying. Maybe it's due to the translation, but the MC's behavior felt frustrating at times.

Physically, the MC is described as delicate, with tender white skin visible through veins, a small waist, slender figure, and a somewhat vulnerable appearance when哭泣. This description evokes both protectiveness and potential bullying.

Regarding the male lead (ML), I must admit, I was caught off guard. There were unexpected romantic interests. Initially, I had no clue about potential ML candidates, let alone the tofu scene before confirmation. It seemed like there could be a harem, considering multiple encounters with characters like:

1. Yu Xing, the bathrobe-wearing one, exuding sensuality, bold, shameless, and often speaks double entendres (erotic). He helps the MC in return for tofu, surprisingly.

2. Ji Yu, the white-shirted one, projects a teacher vibe but is manipulative and deceitful. His concern might seem genuine, but he has hidden motives, reminiscent of King Yama or Hades.

3. Sikong, wearing a basketball jersey, is an iceberg-like character capable of gentleness. Although intimidating, MC trusts him more because of his similarity to their dorm leader.

4. Zhou Zhou, a fellow human, starts as a calm leader but turns yandere due to jealousy, manipulation, and obsession with MC after the game's events and Yu Xing's advances.

Both Ji Yu and Zhou Zhou give me an uneasy feeling.

To sum up, while initially intrigued by the genre tags, the MC's character and the unexpected twists left me disappointed. The dynamics between the characters are complex and intense, making it hard to predict who the true ML might be.

I genuinely adore this novel; however, it does contain a significant amount of sexual content, so you'll need to decide if that's something you're comfortable with. The storytelling is exceptional, and as you progress, you can't help but develop a liking for Wen Qin's character. I've revisited this book multiple times, and it remains fantastic every time. I'd rate it a solid 10 out of 10.

"I absolutely adore this story, especially the yandere male lead - it's always more enjoyable when there are multiple ones! Many people criticize the main character for being weak and emotional, but I find it relatable. It's refreshing to see him express his feelings instead of adapting quickly like other story protagonists. I can't help cringing when the MC effortlessly solves every challenge from the start; it feels unrealistic. However, I must admit, I do appreciate a cute and genuine character like our MC.

While I usually prefer stronger MCs, this one strikes a chord with me. The overbearing nature of the male leads is right up my alley. Your harem setup is something I really enjoy. Love you, harem!"

I appreciate how the characters aren't overly intelligent or foolish, which makes the mystery engaging and relatable as you solve it alongside the main character (MC). The MC's comedic shyness adds a delightful touch, and the supporting characters, while they can be perverted, are also intriguing in their intense focus.
