A Depressed Kendo Player Possesses a Bastard Aristocrat

This novel having right rating for me. Even though I read the novel as someone point in his review the story revolves around to much in emotions. Also mc sometimes doesn't take right decision even if it's for story it feels drag to stretch a emotional ride so much. Overall a great read but not on the scale of 5. Possibly a solid 4 for me.

Id say the emotions are very well written but the romance is just VERY forced in the last few chapters. and the combat is just mid nothing else. so id rate it a like 4.2-4.3 cause I actually liked the emotion part ALOT.

3 times in my whole life (As a teenager / Adult, crying as a kid is natural, you can still garner empathy). But nah I'm not a "sexist", I'm a "realist". Won't remove the "woman part", because Free Speech is important. Crying is an act of showing your vulnerability, which isn't an atractive trait for a man, it is in fact the exact opposite. If a woman cries some people gonna try to help / have empathy for her, but when a man cries, no stranger would do anything. That's just the way of life. The only value of men are their skills, achievements and ressources. (You could include looks / Appearance / Charisma but it's less important than the 3 before) Not a real Spoiler Alert: MC has them ALL (Handsome / Best swordman of this world probably / Beyond Rich as a Duke's son / Noble due to his lineage and so on ...) The situation is still salvageable, no need to be so dramatic about it. If MC was a random nobody with nothing, I bet this story would have been way more interesting.

All that tells me is that you have to change your view on life.

True ! Trying too hard to convey a feeling can have the opposite effect. Like saying "Sorry" or "Sincerly" all the time. The 1st time, the word has a lot of meaning, but if you repeat it 100 times to the same person ... Exact situation this novel is currently stuck at. To the reader, it feels and is repetitive, giving a constant sense of Deja vu, slowing the rythme of the story into Oblivion.

Not really most men generally don't cry that often. Yeah they can be sad but they try to express that in speech /verbal communication, not through tears. Yeah it's not like they are forbidden to cry but they generally don't. Again like the other guy said, most people would be more sympathetic to woman's tears. I am not trying to be sexist. That's a fact. Again in case of mc- exept for his mother's death,he is responsible for everything else (like hurting every single of his loved ones, ruining his own reputation). He somewhat deserves it.

Despair & Depression is justified when you are powerless to your situation, which isn't his case imo

But such straight up power up by system is unheard of. Cause it takes away all the tension from a novel. Like here mc has lost all his reasons to work hard cause whenever the situation is too hard for him, the system will give him another power up.

Has life ever made thing easier for you, just because it was too hard ? It doesn't feel ... Yeah, it doesn't feel right. Personally experienced depression myself, and life didn't make it easier, had to pick myself up. Hard to have empathy for this MC.

Never said I was not 😂 I care about my hobby and that's all that matter

Well being self aware of your own personality is a good thing, I will give you that.

Yes ! Introspection is a great tool, being an introvert can be great sometimes (Not saying extraverts don't have introspection, but I have an impression introverts do have more chance to have this trait).

Ohh I see I see, I appreciate the clarification…
