- This novel is more plot-driven. I usually prefer a novel with a MC and his comrades beat the enemies together then their relationship naturally develop throughout the story as they experience adversaries together (ofc it would be better if the balance between the plot & character relationships are good) but I did enjoy reading this novel despite it being more focused on the plot that's why I included it in the pros list.
- Varied story arcs making the story not boring
- Enemies are not third-rates.
- MC doesn't always win his battles, which makes sense since his opponents are almost always 2 or more higher levels above his prowess. It's a fresh breathe in the air among the countless novels with OP MC always overpowering enemies that are supposedly leagues above them. It also makes the battles a bit more thrilling cause you don't know what will happen — although of course, the MC doesn't die because the story will obviously end if he does.
- Enemies to allies (not really a fan of this trope but surprisingly, I liked it in this story)
CONS- Author likes foreshadowing a bit too much.
- Character relationships weren't done naturally. Their bonds formed too fast; thus, they seem shallow and don't invoke any emotion in me.
- Narration is more on tell than show.
- There are too many explanations and thoughts during battles which make them longer than they're supposed to be and arduous to read.
- MC relies too much on hunches rather than confirming the information.
- Supporting characters aren't that fleshed-out. Some have a bit of personality but they aren't distinctive enough to leave impressions on me. Once I finish reading this novel, I'd probably forget them instantly. They're that unremarkable.
- There were some descriptives about some characters' physical appearances in the initial chapters but the author quickly gave up on them that's why I don't have a clue on what most characters actually look like.
- Sites with proper english translation have either slow updates or only have less than half of the entire novel fully translated in English. I have come across daotranslation with the entire novel translated in MTL but it's too horrendous for me to bear. I'd rather wait for more properly translated chapters than suffer from brainrot.
Anyway, I rate this 4 stars for now despite having more cons because I personally enjoyed the story.A few things stuck out to me, as far as down-sides go:
I can't do it anymore. I can't keep reading this novel. I do not recommend. The only reason it's getting two stars is for the supporting cast, while not being stellar, at least had some personality and weren't just fodder units.
