## My Thoughts on I Have a Sickness "I Have a Sickness" is a completed original web novel with an ongoing translation that piqued my interest due to its unique premise of a quick transmigration story centered around various illnesses, both physical and mental. While the novel has its strengths, it also presents some notable concerns that potential readers should be aware of. ### First Impressions The initial concept is undeniably intriguing: a quick transmigration story where the protagonist tackles different "sicknesses" in each arc. I was drawn in by the potential for exploring these themes within the BL genre. However, diving in, I quickly realized that the execution isn't always as smooth as the premise suggests. ### What Works Well One aspect that many readers, including myself, appreciate is the MC's decisive nature. He's not afraid to be "shameless" and act according to his own code, often prioritizing the original owner's wishes and delivering satisfying face-slaps to those who wronged them. The romance, while sometimes developing rapidly (love at first sight!), is generally portrayed as consensual and mutually satisfying. The male lead is often described as powerful and supportive, allowing the MC to shine. I also found the system's mechanics, particularly the idea of systems evolving and the possibility of bringing companions into the system world, to be creative and engaging additions. Some arcs, like the mental hospital arc, were particularly well-received for their humor and plot development. ### Areas of Concern However, the novel is not without its flaws. A significant point of contention is the often inaccurate and sometimes insensitive portrayal of the "sicknesses" themselves. Several readers expressed discomfort with the author's handling of mental health issues, feeling that they were misrepresented or trivialized. Terms like "autism" are used loosely, and the idea of "curing" mental disorders raises ethical concerns. The MC's actions within the host bodies also sparked debate. While some appreciate his carefree attitude, others find his casual sexual encounters using someone else's body to be ethically questionable. Additionally, some found the plotlines predictable, and the consistent modern-world setting contributed to a sense of repetition. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning A few reviewers highlighted potentially disturbing content in the first arc, where the MC sleeps naked with a five-year-old child. While no malicious intent is implied, the situation is undeniably unsettling and raises concerns about the MC's judgment. Another spoiler involves a character donating his heart to the MC, a moment that evoked strong emotions in some readers but may be triggering for others. ### Final Verdict "I Have a Sickness" is a mixed bag. If you're looking for a quick transmigration BL with a strong, decisive MC and aren't overly concerned with the accuracy of its medical portrayals, you might find it an enjoyable read. However, if you are sensitive to ableism or prefer more nuanced and realistic depictions of mental health, this novel might not be for you. Approach with caution and be aware of its potential pitfalls.
