Daily Disposable Persona

As Zong Yan sat in the classroom, he always felt like the odd man out. His body was there but his soul had sneaked out the window. He wanted to do anything, wanted to be anyone, as long as he wasn’t himself. He had a cool and unbelievable superpower: He could extract different persona cards from the void with his bare hands. With a high enough “SAN” value, Zong Yan could become an entirely different being. Superpowers, ancient gods, eldritch powers, even… an Outer God. Soaring above the dome of the magical city, he was the free-flying son of the wind. Strolling through the rain-soaked, foggy streets of London, he was the secretive and unpredictable night watchman. Walking in the extravagance and glamour of New York, he was the sun god who held the light in his hands. Diving into the geometric city of R’lyeh, he was the indescribable king. In the gorgeous and colorful world of dreams, he was the original belief in the universe. Early to bed, early to rise, going to school on time, working late to save the world. A senior at Qingyang High School by day, honors scholar at Miskatonic University by night. Investigating unusual events all over the world during summer and winter vacation, battling wits and courage with evil gods, dedicated to preserving peace and saving a faltering world. Zong Yan: Thanks, but I’m just an ordinary high school kid. * CP is an unnamable evil god

## My Thoughts on Daily Disposable Persona "Daily Disposable Persona" throws you headfirst into a world of Lovecraftian horror mixed with academy life, and honestly, it's quite the ride. It's a bit like Hogwarts meets Cthulhu, with a dash of shounen anime thrown in for good measure. ### First Impressions Initially, I wasn't sure what to expect. The premise felt a little out there: a seemingly ordinary MC with the power to activate different personas through cards, thrust into a world of hidden organizations and ancient evils. It definitely has that "chuunibyou" vibe, but that's part of its charm. I found myself either cringing or laughing, depending on the chapter. ### What Works Well The world-building is a definite highlight. The author clearly has a love for Lovecraftian lore, and they weave it into the story seamlessly. The action scenes are well-written, fast-paced, and impactful. I also appreciated the humor, which keeps the story from becoming too dark or serious. The MC, despite being somewhat overpowered, is a good person with a strong sense of justice. Plus, the translation quality is top-notch, which always makes a big difference. ### Areas of Concern I did find the pacing to be a bit uneven at times. There were moments where the plot felt rushed or disjointed, and certain elements, like the magic school setting, seemed to fade into the background. Some plot points felt underdeveloped and forgotten. Also, the romance is a slow burn – very slow. It takes a while for the relationship between the MC and the ML to develop, and even then, it's more of a subplot than a central focus. Also, I found the author's representation of certain cultures to be a bit biased and uneducated. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have pointed out issues with how the ML behaves near the end of the novel, with his actions feeling out of character for an evil god. ### Final Verdict Despite its flaws, I found "Daily Disposable Persona" to be an enjoyable and original read. If you're a fan of action, adventure, and supernatural elements with a unique twist, this might be right up your alley. Just be prepared for a slightly bumpy ride and don't go in expecting a romance-heavy story. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
