It'd bad đź‘Ž I consider this novel boring and I dislike it so it will get the lowest rating possible fromme. It is far mor boring compared to most transmigration stories
If you're looking for a novel with great writing and well-developed characters, this novel isn't for you. It has many flaws, but while reading it, I didn't care much about why certain characters acted the way they did, and I honestly didn’t overthink things. Don’t get me wrong, like every other novel, this one has its high moments. If you don’t overanalyze and just go with the flow, you’ll have a good time. The story is average. The plot started off good but has become average, and while a few characters are well-written, the rest are pretty much forgettable. The romance is slow, and we're not yet sure who will end up together in the end. I believe the author has done a decent job overall, though. So, I’m not sure if you guys will enjoy this novel, but there are quite a few novels in the top 100 that are worse. Some of those have good plots, but everything else about them is trash, yet they get glowing reviews as if they're masterpieces. Honestly, I don’t know anymore. you shouldn’t take my review too seriously either. In short, my verdict is that this novel is 'average, ' but it's still better than some of the so-called top 100 novels.
Dropping the novel, it started off good but falls off hard, the story is very bland and lacks any sort of planning, the MC's power depends on what the author wants, could be strong then suddenly weak, the characters are junk and the MC is not any better, love interest? Gone for most of the novel all of a sudden which is not a fun trope at all and despised in most novels. What I hate most is his main skill, it only exists as a plot device for the author rather than something you are excited to see being used, there is more I wanna say but overall never read this please.
This novel seemed to have some potential, so I kept reading all the way to chapter 500, waiting for it to get good but it never did. I am always looking for novels that have a system/ power structure that is not exclusive to the main character. I think that it is interesting to see the levels of skills/classes, it gives a good idea power levels and the evolution of skills to a higher tier keeps abilities interesting. Unfortunately all that is shown is that people just randomly gain skills and upgrade classes basically off screen and without doing anything to deserve them. The main problem is that they gave the MC so many op skills of the bat that it is hard to follow. They then decided to make him way stronger than everyone else. But despite his power he doesn't seem to be in control of anything, but not as an interesting story point he just isn't. His summon seems to be doing things behind his back, the kind girl he saved killed a bunch of people and seems to be a little crazy. Then he let all the adventures die. Idk it feels like the MC is either super overpowered or helpless plus the whole thing with his other classmate. The MC just seems to be tied to every event and can't develop for himself after a certain point. The plot point of Adonis going back in time is such an interesting plot point but it feels wasted. If Ray was not as powerful as he is now in the last timeline I don't know how they managed to get anything done. Honestly the only conclusion that I can get is that Adonis is just dumb, despite having an opportunity to go back and time he just always is powerless to do anything, and the grand warrior and grand mage were weaker than Adonis before the first fight. Overall it seems like everyone besides the MC is inconsequential and yet most the chapters do not focus on the main characters development but everyone else. This also happens while there is the threat of the one rogue classmate and the dragons that are much more powerful than even the MC. I know the other worlders start out stronger but people can increase their classes and gain skills and yet even the strongest people are weak AF and there are like 3 of them. It just all feels like a facade.
Too childish for me. Author is like a child who trys to be cool. World building is 3/5 mc 2/5 story 3/5 thats all. Its just a time waste. 1/5
For me this was a fun read, I really enjoyed it. The only problem I have is the random jjk references and the random switching of POV's, but other then that the characters are interesting and it's pretty funny.
Read about 369 chapters, and here's what I think: Not bad. It gets better over time. My only complaint is the slow pace of the plot. It seems like I've read far fewer chapters than I actually have. Then there's the world building, which I have to say is definitely the weakest point of the novel. The only things we have are the royal castle, the black market, the royal dungeon, and a few trips outside the capital. For an isekai, I expected more development in this area. The further we go with secondary characters, the less scene they are given, and except for a few, the rest are practically discarded. There are also some filler chapters, but they are few. Otherwise, the novel is okay. Give it a chance. it certainly has its fair share of problems, but as I said, the novel improves over time. That being said, I'll stop here, as this novel is not my cup of tea. Again, the novel isn't great (at least it isn't as far as I've read), but it's not mediocre either.
POISON TEST UNTIL CH 550 : so this story aint very deep and intricate , OP spam , useless HERO even when trying to redo what he did wrong but doesnt realize that even when trying not to affect certain aspects of the past u still will get different future no matter what ( butterfly effect manifested the sec u came back ) , MC absolute runt hinking he some kind of mastermind , while in reality is just a failure of an MC , such person would pale in front of true MCs in other GEM Novels . . .
When an author writes with the intention of publishing (using any publication mechanism), one of the first barriers that must be crossed for wide acceptance of what is written is comparison; it is impossible not to compare this novel with reference works, not only in the same genre but literary works in general. Another obstacle that must be overcome by those offering an opinion on a piece of writing, specifically in this context of works created by novice writers, is that they lack both an editor and a professional translator, the latter being very important and from which many such works suffer. All this introduction establishes a baseline for a critique, which, without adequate context, can produce rejection or confusion about the reasons why it is given. And the truth be told, I think it is important to understand the reason for what I put here this time. The first thing is to start with the text in general. I can't be sure, but it almost seems like a translation, most likely from Mandarin, done by a well-intentioned amateur, someone who also regularly relies on some translation service, and who does not go through an editing process, resulting in many grammatical, spelling, and even conceptual errors in some cases. Something that makes me doubt the translation is that when reviewing the author, there are some elements that lead me to think that the writer is not Oriental, leaving two options: either this person does not write in English natively, which is noticeable in the structure of the paragraphs, the fluency of the narration, and the limited use of the language; or the person's native language is English, but they are very young. There is the possibility that they are a native English speaker with very limited language skills. Whatever the truth is, the problem remains, only the cause shifts, and the consequence is an exhausting read, lacking in expression due to a very limited use of language elements, which reduces fluency; coupled with frequent minor errors, it makes for a heavy read. Regarding the story, I must admit that the premise is interesting, but the overuse of genre archetypes makes it unoriginal: transmigration at the moment of death, a superior being aiding the characters in their transition, a group of teenagers as protagonists, a world wishing to combat an overwhelming evil thus invoking the protagonists, a main character who wants to hide his power, and a long list of elements that have been used so much in similar stories that they can already be called clichés, and the story is basically that, a pastiche of clichés. All these judgment elements make the story a missed opportunity, which is sad because, I must reiterate, the premise is interesting, and the beginning of the novel, though clumsy, is promising, but that is all. The author falls into most of the mistakes of a novice writer and overuses common instruments of a web novel: a good example is the fights; no decent work in fantasy literature extends a fight scene because they do not contribute much to the advancement of the story, as ultimately only the outcome matters, but in the web novel genre, it is something that is insisted upon a lot. In the case of this novel, the length of the fights really gets out of hand; they are used so much that it gives the impression that there is nothing to tell, and they are used to increase the number of chapters, because in the end, the income received is per chapter acquired by readers, a perverse incentive created by the imbalance between the business model and the desire to write. There are elements in the story that, when viewed within the context of other novels published by the same author, make one think that the author reflects themselves in the main character of the story, almost as an effort to live out their own fantasy. The problem with this is that the common elements the author imprints on their characters are socially reprehensible behaviours and attitudes, and in some cases, even dangerous. This is delicate in a literary work aimed at a young audience, inexperienced in the intricacies of reading, and generally unsophisticated, who lack the judgment to detect these positions and might extrapolate the value judgments of the story to real life. I could really continue, but at this point, I think what I have written is sufficient. The novel is a simplistic story, uncreative, and poorly written, with a good, but really wasted opportunity, where the author openly sabotages the different narrative chances he created previously, in what they would like to appear as pursuing tension in the plot, but which does not go beyond tripping up the story.
I didn't enjoyed the novel and dropped it. I read +60 chapters so far. The conversations between other characters feel too unnatural. The author try too hard that mc to be smart. So far is the story boring. The plot idea is a little bit interesting, but it isn't well executed. Out there is a lot of better novels worth to read it and this novel isn't worth to read in my opinion. The writing style is bad. Idk if the other novel of the author are better. I hope my review could help.
