Silver Cross & Draculea · review
A year or so ago if I recall I tried reading this story, and failed to get through the second of the 5 books. That being said I came back and finished all of it, and I am happy I did. Light novels come and go for me as I read different content as I feel like it, so my opinion should not be highly valued. That being said I thought it was better the second time around. My major issue the first time is I found it so boring the second book through that I started skipping around and itall self destructed and this is because all 5 books follow the exact same ark style. So I found myself know exactly when things were going to happen and because of that everything was easy to predict. In fact beyond that my only other complaint was it was a Harem which I am fine with. The issue is.. the characters beyond the first book have like no value and are just there to waste your time.
First book introduces Rushella, Mei and Eruru and those are the only ones you will care about. Later a witch and a ghost kind of join in with a bit of a human.. and the whole time you will be like why are they even here. The ghost helps out in one instant which is cool but could have been just as cool written differently. The witch on the other hand.. makes sun block..? Needless to say the acquisition of each of these ladies takes a book each so 2 of the 5 books are about acquiring people I could care less about.
On a final note I think an eight suits this book well because even though it is no masterpiece and the plot is very easy to follow it made me laugh a lot. Though be mindful because I failed to finish it the first time I defiantly read this drunk to help make sure I got through it. Though I must admit you could just read the first and last book and be fine. Maybe the fourth book to get a bit of backstory but as stated the second and third books just bring in people, and after I did not like those as they were not fleshed out as much it became hard to finish. That being said if you cannot finish the second or third book just move on and accept the new cast by reading the chapters you skipped because they tell you which may be to much foreshadowing if you ask me. The ending is worth it for the boring parts though.
