## My Thoughts on No Matter What You Call Me, I’m Just a Court Librarian Alright, let's dive into "No Matter What You Call Me, I’m Just a Court Librarian." With a title like that, I was expecting a chill, bookish adventure. While it does have those elements, it seems there's more to it than meets the eye. ### First Impressions Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of a book-loving protagonist navigating a fantasy world. The concept of a seemingly ordinary librarian getting caught up in extraordinary events is always appealing. However, I quickly noticed some conflicting opinions about the main character's personality. ### What Works Well The romance seems to be a strong point, and the action is reportedly pretty decent. The translation is readable, which is always a huge plus. The story has potential, even if the world-building is still developing. There's also the intriguing element of the MC acting dense to deceive others, which adds a layer of complexity to his character. ### Areas of Concern One of my biggest concerns, which I've seen echoed, is the protagonist's self-deprecation. Apparently, he constantly downplays his worth despite everyone around him singing his praises, including the king and a princess. This could become tiresome if not handled carefully. It seems like the plot is designed to make him look good despite himself, which might feel contrived after a while. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have pointed out a random POV change from the enemy's perspective around volume 1, chapter 21. This might be jarring for some readers, so be prepared for that shift. ### Final Verdict Overall, "No Matter What You Call Me, I’m Just a Court Librarian" has potential, but it's not without its flaws. The romance and action elements seem promising, but the protagonist's self-esteem issues and the developing world-building could be hit or miss. If you're looking for a lighthearted fantasy with a bit of intrigue and are willing to overlook some character quirks, this might be worth checking out. However, be prepared for a protagonist who might need a serious confidence boost.
