[4.6] I read it after 1st season of anime, so I may not be objective because anime did a great job introducing characters. This novel has unique elements to it ... more>>

Good: unique, complete and organic world, great characters, attention to details, very good power balance, unpredictible plot, not too much plot holes and plot armor.

Bad: alot of cringe elements, small world, slow pace <<less

[4.4] I have love-hate relationship with this one. It's a graveyard of unlimited potential.... more>>

Good: Gu farming and inside world; smart ruthless protagonist (I like spicy food); fast pace; unpredictible plot. First half of the story tickles your imagination.

Bad: Definition of gu changes throughout the story - very confusing and clumsy; too much plot armor; fights are too long and boring because you always know how it will end, all lame twists and turns will not sell them; world and story becomes dull and uninteresting in second half of the story. Sometimes "smart" protagonist acts too s*upid and too c*cky, everyone is conviniently s*upid,  <<less

[4.5] It's a graveyard of unlimited potential even more so than RI.... more>>

Good: smart ruthless hero, and unpredictible plot. Also valuable very fast pace, great world and not too much plot armor or plot holes.

Bad: interesting world is not explored, interesting possibilities are ignored, interesting characters are undeveloped. <<less

[4.2] Good read with no major flaws, maybe boring towards the end. It has some interesting characters, fairly smart protagonist but nothing really great.

[4.6] Very enjoyable and complex novel, you can tell author wants to sells high quality junk food... more>>

Good: Great characters, has working humor, author actually researches stuff, interesting plot and concept, attention to details, lots of cool stuff and very rare things - interesting dialogs and character chemistry

Bad: Slow pace, s*upid cruelty, everything is watered down a little bit, cartoony <<less

[4.6] This novel surprisingly has no major flaws, I could even say it's not really a light novel, it could count as serious literature. But accumulation of huge number of tiny problems makes it incomplete and even flawed  for me.... more>>

Also my personal preference - I dislike Victorian era and steampunk - I'm convinced magic and science can't coexist. <<less

[4] Quality is not high, but very enjoyable for me... more>>

Good: Attractive protagonist, fast pace, easy to understand power system, good characters, not too much plot holes

Bad: plot armor, unrealised potential, abrupt ending...                          but all these are minor flaws for me <<less

[4.2] It's like an enjoyable history lesson... more>>

Good: Attention to details, no plot holes, not too much plot armor, real world, encouraged me to read about that time, follow map) 

Bad: A little boring in second half, boring battles, predictable plot, too simple economy 

personally I needed more about ancient technology, too much lost opportunities <<less

[4] Good read ... more>>

I'm not a science guy, so I can't really evaluate this properly, seems to me there are lot of lost oportunities <<less

[4] This is not for everyone, but I enjoyed it... more>>

Good: smart protagonist, new kind of humor, huge world, no plot armor needed)))

Bad: dead chinese culture, a little boring plot, everyone is dumb (but in this setting it's not a major flaw), almost no plot

Almost every Er Gen novel blends into one generic cliche in my memory, but this one I actually remember <<less

[4] Watched anime first, continued reading.... more>>

This is definition of junk food for me) enjoyable, predictable, nothing too special, doesn't take itself too seriosly, no major flaws, best thing about this is slime form and pixie character. Ending was too rushed, also female appearence of mc is not my kinda thing <<less

[4.2] Good read with wasted potential, mc actually uses cheat knowlege from modern world (very poorly in my opinion)... more>>

Good: attention to details, fairly smart protagonist, not too much plot holes or plot armor, good characters, fairly unique world with magic, technology and economy, good enough pace

Bad: very bad author's choices in second half, took several bad turns; small and unexplored world, gets boring in second half, abrupt ending. Dead weight harem that absorbs too much space <<less
