Honestly having a hard time deciding between three and four stars. It's an enjoyable read with an amoral protagonist doing pretty much anything to gain power, but it has a lot of inconsistencies... the MC switches between being normal and totally as*xual randomly, things are introduced and then forgotten about, even direct unit conversions change from time to time. It starts out with the pacing of a >1000 chapter novel and then suddenly jumps to a much higher power level before slowing down again.

It's a very chaotic novel overall, but... more>> the MC does have bad things happen to him and the world doesn't totally revolve around him. I'd definitely recommend giving it a read, especially if you like WMW (WMW basically copied the first half) <<less

A good story and decent translations whose mistakes aren't terribly jarring,

BUT, the author has some problems with consistency, they skip a lot of things that would make for a pleasant read or are a necessary explanation, repetition and pointless filler start becoming noticeable as you get further in, the terms the translators/editors use aren't terribly good, and the novel is both locked behind adwalls and as you get further into the story the chapters are separated into pieces so you only get to read a short bit before you... more>> hit the next adwall. It feels like the same rotten experience of trying to watch a TV show which is polluted by commercials every 5-10 minutes. Sure we get to read it for free, I don't mind suffering from a few ads to reward the authors, translators and editors for their work, but it's way too much on this novel. It's a frequent and never-ending immersion break. I'd have rate this 4* if it weren't for the terrible adwall. <<less
