The Eccentric Master and the Fake Lover (Eccentric Master Series Book 1)

Out of all the Cross Infinte World light novels I’ve read this is my favorite!It’s about a girl named Nichika who finds herself in a strange, new world only to be found by an friendly talking wolf. The wolf then takes her to his master, who by the way is a witch.A bit of comedy ensues, the witch allows Nichika to stay the night until he can get rid of her, but she winds up getting cursed then chaos and adventure ensue.I really liked everything about this novel; it was fun, there was drama, I love the characters and how they interacted, there’s romance, and more! I can’t wait for the next installment.

I always like a take to another world seried. I really like that the main girl is a character and not just some boring passive "save me" character. Her emotions shift and change which I love since we are always changing individuals. I can't wait to see more character development. I would love to see how she is thrown off her course by a great loss and how she would navigate and recover from it or a moment of hopelessness that she or with the help of friends pulls herself out of it. I believe the true bravery of a person is when they meet the darkest moments in themselves and can find their way again after something so life altering.I am really looking forward to the next book and I intend to make some nice fan art to send to a new favorite writer.

Fast delivery. Great read

Good book

I very much enjoyed this book.The author did a wonderful job. I am eagerly looking forward to the next book in the series.

What’s worse than ending up in another world? Ending up in another world with a parasitic plant in your body.That’s exactly what happens to The Eccentric Master and the Fake Lover‘s Nichika. There’s no known cure either, only a stopgap measure: bodily fluids from the opposite gender.Thus begins Nichika’s new life of make-outs and magics.As in most of these stories, Nichika is a typical Japanese schoolgirl who finds herself teleported to a strange land. A helpful, talking wolf named Wolfie finds her and escorts her to his Master, an abrasive young witch (not wizard!). Oswald, as we learn, is rather notorious in this world, and he’s not thrilled that his hideout has been found or that he’s become some weirdo’s personal donor. But since he can’t get rid of Nichika, he decides to make her daily dose of “medicine” fun, which, of course, leads to some confusion for both.Now, before your mind starts getting some NSFW imagery, I have to let you know these sessions are still mostly limited to first base. It’s true that Nichika and Oswald’s kissing scenes occur regularly and don’t always stay PG, and Oswald’s attitude is often less than gentlemanly. To my pleasant surprise, the light novel has veered away from being a blatant smut-fest, describing things without going into graphic detail.Plus, during the three, maybe four arcs here, the story keeps pushing forward. Like other similar tales, the heroine eventually learns why she’s been brought to this world, and it’s Nichika’s inner charm and optimistic attitude that leads her to solving others’ problems as she, Oswald, and Wolfie journey across the lands and meet new people. It’s very easy to read this in between breaks or whenever you have some down time, as parts will be familiar and arguably generic (witches flying on brooms, collecting elements, the main city they visit is reminiscent of Japan).But besides the rare “another world” story with sexual tension aimed at a female audience, this volume provides just enough in other ways to be an enjoyable adventure. For instance, although it’s only at the very end, Nichika worries about the fact that she hasn’t gotten her period recently. That’s not a conversation you’re not going to find often in a light novel, and it shows a realistic concern that not many other isekai cover. Witches and warlocks are two different classes of magic users (a unique twist). Even little things like the adorable shapeshifting Wolfie being Nichika’s language tutor brighten the story.Speaking of Wolfie, as a dog lover, he stole the show. Look at the cover! Can you resist that face? Take Dug from Disney/Pixar’s Up and make him slightly smarter, and you get Wolfie. Actually, the three of them are kind of like the trio from Up: the grumpy curmudgeon, the cheerful, helpful one, and a slightly ditzy mutt. So if you like that sort of dynamic, this light novel will suit your tastes.That being said, I did find myself wondering why Oswald was not more interested in Nichika — not in a romantic way but in a mad scientist kind of way. Oswald does a lot of research and creates things, and once he learned that Nichika isn’t some amnesiac, why not demand information or study her somehow? It seemed like a missed opportunity for both him and the story.On some final notes, Itaru’s illustrations were very well-suited to the story. They had a classic shoujo feel and, despite the monochrome page, had a sense of color to them. I didn’t think Nichika looked particularly childish compared to everyone else, but I guess that’s just Oswald being Oswald. I particularly loved the detail on her cape, and I hope to see more of Itaru’s art in the future. I noticed a couple of minor errors in the text, but if it’s anything like “numskull”, they could just be variants I’m not familiar with.At the end of the novel, the author provides some teasers as to what’s to come. As things prepare to heat up between the two leads, I’m optimistic the fantasy portions will also. If not, there’s always more Wolfie to look forward to!

I was a little wary after reading the description for this one, but so many of the reviews were promising so I wanted to give it a chance. I'm glad I did! The characters and storyline were lots of fun, not too ecchi at all, and I can't wait to read the next one!
