To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot

Arcadia Quest. A game that has won over many a heart with over a hundred different plot routes, which is supported by a vast yet well-designed character base. In these myriad of characters and routes, there was one character, Crescentia, who faced ruin no matter the route followed. The protagonist of this work is a NEET gamer that loved Crescentia. He played Arcadia Quest over and over without minding the time to find a route where Crescentia could be saved. But despite trying for years, he had never succeeded in finding such a route. That day too, he fell asleep after yet another failure. When he woke up the next day, he found that he’d been reincarnated in the world of Arcadia Quest!! The protagonist was overjoyed that he now had to chance to save Crescentia with his own two hands. But he was reincarnated as a mob character who couldn’t be considered strong by any means. If anything, he was a small-fry at best. A small-fry that could be taken out by a strong breeze. But the protagonist wasn’t discouraged. ‘If I’m a small-fry, I just need to train harder. If I don’t have any talent, I just need to train harder. If saving Crescentia is going to be extremely difficult, I just need to train harder.’ Everything is for his favourite character. Supplanting a lack of talent with outstanding hard work, the mob gamer grows strong enough to destroy the game’s plot.

## My Thoughts on *To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot* Alright, let's dive into *To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot*. This web novel has definitely stirred up some mixed feelings in me, and it seems like I'm not alone. The premise, a reincarnation story where the MC is determined to save a beloved character by any means necessary, is intriguing. However, the execution seems to be where things get a little bumpy. ### First Impressions Initially, the story hooked me with its promise of a protagonist strategically dismantling a game's plot. The idea of someone using their meta-knowledge to rewrite fate is always appealing. However, the early chapters focus heavily on the MC's childhood, and that's where I started to feel a bit uneasy. ### What Works Well There's a certain charm to the MC's determination and his dedication to his goal. The world-building, while perhaps not groundbreaking, is solid enough to keep me invested. The power system is interesting, and the potential for strategic battles and plot twists is definitely there. Some readers have praised the overall story, indicating that it does get better in later chapters. ### Areas of Concern Unfortunately, several aspects prevent me from fully enjoying this novel. The age of the MC is a significant sticking point. The fact that a five-year-old is capable of feats that defy logic strains my suspension of disbelief. It feels like the author wanted to create a "genius child" trope but pushed it too far. This issue is compounded by the fact that the translation quality is inconsistent, with some readers noting the use of MTL and frequent errors in pronoun usage, which makes it harder to follow the story. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Several readers have pointed out some disturbing elements in the story. The MC's relationship with his father is described as abusive, and the justification provided feels inadequate. Another issue is that the focus of the novel seems to shift away from Crescentia. Instead, it focuses more on the maid. ### Final Verdict Overall, *To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot* has potential, but it's currently held back by its problematic elements and translation issues. While the premise is intriguing, the execution needs refinement. I'm hesitant to recommend it in its current state, but with some revisions, it could become a much more enjoyable read. For now, I'd rate it a **2.5/5**.
