I really enjoyed reading the novel, it has some flaws and if you decide to read this you will also see me complain sometimes in the comments. I hate that some specific magic "branches" were never really explained to us, and MC just uses it in occasions where it's useful for him, but we were never told how it works. I don't like the power system, there is no consistency in terms of power scaling and capabilities, in the fight scenes it felt (at least to me) like a lot of moves and attacks were always in convenience towards the plot, and like I said before the power/magic was never really explained, so there are no fundamentals or rules really. There are also a few plot holes that I noticed, but they are not too bad, most people would probably not even notice them unless they have read a lot of novels/books. World building is alright, and the side characters were amazing, all had their own interesting stories and personalities. I was going to give this novel a 3/5 but decided to give it a 4/5 simply because even with all its flaws I did enjoy reading the novel a lot.

“I became pope, what now?” seeing my crazy title I expected at the beginning yet another comedy novel but I was quite surprised when I read the first 10 chapters and realized that we are not dealing here with a vulgar comedy but has an almost mythological epic story like an Alexandrian poem. out of astonishment I then continued my journey in this work and I discovered a fairly good word building, interesting characters, a power system. . . weak and an understandable Mc in addition this novel had everything to be there one of the best yet everything goes into a tailspin around the 400 chapter. the reason for this derailment? there are several, story facilities, Deus ex machina coming out of the author's hat, characters incoherent with themselves but the central problem remains indeed the power system. the small, simplistic and weak power system does not give the author any room to maneuver if half of his characters do not respect this system. the system is simply being violated to a point where I was wondering where it still made sense. this novel is good but not worth expecting much and take it with a grain of salt

Awesome really good power scaling and kingdom building tho would have loved more middle level clergy level stuff. If anything I would love it for it to be stretched a bit longer. WARNING: extremely addictive

The story is good. MC actions are smart, calculative. He try to be a nice guy, but won't hesistate to backstab you, if needs arised. The world building is good. The story is more focused on MC having/building political power than his own strength. Which is good per the story.

A great ride until chapter 600, truly my favourite 600 chapters of any novel. Unfortunately around 650 quality decreases, but fun characters keep this novel afloat even after it should. Some characters are clearly one dimensional, like almost every noble that doesn’t become part of Sylvester’s platonic harem of characters. Sylvester himself isn’t always the most intriguing character, but as the pov we can’t expect much more on that front. The supporting characters are some of the most enjoyable I’ve had the pleasure of reading. The way the author writes and describes shows a clear finesse and ability above most on the site, and is a highlight even during dull arcs. Speaking of arcs, some are much better than others. For example, the most recent one as of time of writing this has been almost lamentably dull. This author thrives when the story is moving forward at a constant pace, where even a slightly slower arc can be interesting, but the author seems like a headless chicken in the past 50 odd chapters, not knowing what the forward point is. Overall, despite the negativity in this, my fondness for the majority of the novel cannot allow me to put this anywhere below a 4. I would recommend anybody to read this, but also prepare them for a constant fluctuation of quality in arcs.

1. Lacking in power system, no explanation given. 2. Fight scenes are lacking almost non existent. After reading 50 some chapter it became dull and boring to me, there was nothing interesting going on. The starting was really interesting and had lots of potential but it lacked polishing. It could have been turned into best novels like trash of count family etc but it decided to be mediocre and lacking in necessary detail and exciting plot. Major dissatisfied I had with is power system, it makes no difference whether it is present or not, it's just there for the sake of just being there.

The novel is of a high quality which is something that can not be easily found amongst webnovels which are mostly written to satisfy the authors own fantasies. However like other novels this too has some faults which are okay because all novels have a few flaws here and there.

As a novel, this is disappointing. As a webnovel, it is barely passable. It’s enjoyable to read if you don’t think about it to hard. It seems like something that would mostly be appealing to a 10-13 age range, but if you’re looking for anything with a bit more quality this isn’t the novel for you. Writing (1/5): There are frequent grammatical errors, and the author lacks any significant skill in prose. Simple rhyming is not an indication of quality. Story (3/5): Most of the points here go to originality. While maintaining a standard isekai premise, the author at least attempts to build a world and narrative which does not simply mirror a more prominent work. However, the story retains many flaws in pacing and plot cohesion. The many comments about world building are misleading. While there is a lot the author puts into the world, it doesn’t really make the world seem like a cohesive whole. Instead, it is more of a canvas with a lot slapped onto it. Characters (2/10): The author clearly tried to get Sylvester to come off as an extremely intelligent and scheming character. The way this is accomplished is usually through the dumbing down of everyone around him. There are a few moments when the author writes something very clever, but it is not the norm. The rest of the characters lack any sort of true depth. They are either background dressing with simple quirks, or they are given a short spotlight moment where the author tries to forcefully inject some depth into them. Average Score (2/5)

MY HONEST REVIEW: At first the tags throw me off, but the moment I started reading it I was incredibly hooked by the fast yet substantial plot. Though it has a bit of gore and lots of killing, it still appropriate to the story. It is funny and has a decent love story between the ML and FL that goes to epic adventures to stay alive, gain peace and maybe wealth, and have a happy life together with their love ones. (FL is Chonky 😏) It has epic adventures and action. It is a great story to read especially if you like funny, action, and reincarnation. So if you want to read this, I'd definitely recommend this! My score for this story is 8. 5 out of 10 🌟 🤩

This novel's main focal points are on worldbuilding and character interaction + growth. The fighting scenes are basically nonexistence or aren't that detailed. If you enjoy reading about a world that evolves with a MC then this is the novel for you. Character development is great, MC goes from hating this new world and treating all people like tools to caring about both. Be warned though this novel does have alot of acts of sexual violence in either background context or shown/written to the reader.
