My Thoughts on How to Follow the Script When Dressing up as a Disabled Male Protagonist?
This title definitely grabbed my attention, and after diving in, I have some thoughts. "How to Follow the Script When Dressing up as a Disabled Male Protagonist?" is a wild ride that blends several anime worlds with a time-traveling twist. It's ambitious, to say the least, and whether you enjoy it seems to depend heavily on your familiarity with the source material.
First Impressions
Initially, I felt a bit overwhelmed. The premise is complex: an intern from a "Time Travel Department" gets sent into the world of Dororo, inhabiting the body of Hyakkimaru, who is blind, deaf, and missing limbs. Then, things get even crazier when the protagonist gets sent to Bungo Stray Dogs. It's a lot to take in right away.
What Works Well
Once I got my bearings, I found the story surprisingly engaging. The core concept of the MC trying to follow the script while navigating these different worlds, especially with his disabilities, is compelling. I particularly enjoyed the early romance aspect, where the MC is unaware of his situation. The story seems to resolve misunderstandings quickly, which I appreciate – no drawn-out drama for the sake of drama. The author clearly put thought into how these different anime worlds interact. The story seems to be a heartfelt love story and development of the characters.
Areas of Concern
However, I can see why some readers might find it confusing. The story mashes together several animes and the time travel element adds another layer of complexity. If you're not familiar with Dororo, Bungo Stray Dogs, Saiki K., and Katekyou Hitman Reborn, you might spend a lot of time looking things up. While one could argue that a quick Google search fixes this, it can disrupt the flow of the story and lessen the enjoyment.
⚠️ Spoiler Warning
Some reviews mention that the protagonist believes the male lead is actually the female lead early on, leading to some initial misunderstandings. Also, the MC eventually gets the chance to complete his storyline. If you prefer to discover these plot points yourself, proceed with caution.
Final Verdict
Overall, "How to Follow the Script When Dressing up as a Disabled Male Protagonist?" is a unique and imaginative story with a strong romantic core. If you're a fan of the featured anime and enjoy quick-wear stories, you'll likely find this to be a rewarding read. However, be prepared for a potentially confusing start and a need to familiarize yourself with the source material. I'd give it a solid 3.5/5. It's not perfect, but it's certainly memorable.
