## My Thoughts on I Became An Abandoned Child, But I’ll Be Alright Thanks To Magic "I Became An Abandoned Child, But I’ll Be Alright Thanks To Magic" had me hooked from the premise. The title alone promised a blend of hardship and fantastical escapism, and for the most part, it delivers. It's a story about resilience, adaptation, and finding your own strength in a world that's thrown you away. ### First Impressions Initially, the story grips you with its raw portrayal of the main character's abandonment and subsequent struggle for survival. There's a certain "stomach-churning" quality to the early chapters, not in a gratuitous way, but in a way that truly makes you feel the weight of his situation. It's compelling and immediately invests you in his journey. ### What Works Well The world-building is a definite strength. It’s introduced gradually and naturally, allowing you to immerse yourself without feeling overwhelmed. The MC's growth also feels earned; he's not suddenly overpowered, but instead learns and adapts through trial and error. This grounded approach makes him relatable and his accomplishments satisfying. I particularly enjoyed the pace, it was not too fast or slow. ### Areas of Concern One aspect that gave me pause was the MC's personality. While his naivete can be endearing, there were moments where it felt a bit overdone. It sometimes felt like a caricature of a "peace-loving" character, which could be frustrating for some readers. This isn't to say it ruins the story, but it’s something to be aware of going in. ### Final Verdict Despite some minor reservations, "I Became An Abandoned Child, But I’ll Be Alright Thanks To Magic" is a worthwhile read. The compelling world-building, relatable protagonist, and steady character development make it a genuinely enjoyable experience. If you're looking for a fantasy story with a touch of hardship and a lot of heart, this might be the one for you. I'm eager to see where the story goes and how the MC continues to evolve.
