The novel starts off quite interesting. As is typical with the trend of transmigration stories, MC doesn't think twice about being teleported to another world- that's completely ok, actually. His transmigration and his immediate assimilation into the world can be excused, despite the fact that he came from a world of familiar smartphones and not a world with a jumbled mix of advanced "ring" systems, ancient relics, and wacky monsters. That one point. That is excusable. However, much like credit card debt, you cannot declare bankruptcy the second time. It would appear as though the author definitively planned out the first 20 or so chapters of the story- it feels pretty realistic, and the MC's wits show through in a manner that engages the reader, despite his crippling handicap. Ever present in the background was his impending death, as his lifespan was essentially crippled to around 3 months. Then, the warning signs begin to show. His cheat skill, a sort of system, activates and immediately catapults him to importance by granting him the ability to summon monsters he kills, which the translator terms "Imperial Censure". There is no explanation on how this role fits into society, simply that the role is "exclusive" and represents "high status". What else does it do? Allow him to copy skills, for one. Instantly, MC is a comprehension genius. The author's lazy writing starts to show through here, around the assessment arc. MC enters desert. Desert has sand monsters. Fight sand monster, summon sand monster. Mutated?! Joy! The above is literally how the world building in this novel works. Author throws out a random location, describes it with a line or two, and then focuses back on MC. This could be remedied if the MC was adequately fleshed out, but that doesn't occur, either. The whole reason the MC is joining the assessment is because his system would've deserted him otherwise, because apparently the transmigration, monster, and OP system tropes weren't enough- the author needs a quest aspect as well. What else happens? MC meets possibly the most overpowered character in the entire story (literally a surviving half god) and his blood somehow managed to revive her. Then, she instantly heals his crippled lifespan. He subsequently proceeds to learn an Epic skill from watching her brew tea. Afterwards, he returns to the assessment like nothing happened. Yeah. However, I digress. Overall, the author attempts to demonstrate the MC's prowess at the expense of world building and other characters. Bai Yan, the main antagonist, was initially portrayed as aloof- he stated he wouldn't kill the MC because the MC was week. Flash forward 2 days and Bai Yan now picks fights whenever MC says anything. In public. What? MC apparently is the only one with brains as well. With an impending monster horde, there's no way for everyone to escape. What should they do? MC suggests rather plainly that they could group up and fight- author throws in some random locations to make MC seem smarter, and everyone reacts as if MC is a genius. He's really not. Even his power is borrowed. And what he does have came from plot armor. He's essentially a vessel that is given "personality" by the secret seeds of wish fulfillment within our hearts- nothing more. If you value world building and character development, don't read this. If you're willing to turn off your brain and become one of the numerous other side characters that fawn over the MC, then I guess you could give it a shot. *Translation and editing are both really basic. I do not profess to be competely adept at grammar, but as a native, the choppy sentences are quite numerous. Additionally, the word choice is extremely bland and basic. On the flip side, I guess there's at least a semblance of uniformity across the mundane story, cardboard MC, and uninteresting descriptions. I hope the irony of this praise is not lost to you.

I have no issue at all with the translator or update speed. The author however just doesn't write a good story. He completely forgets about the main character's thirteen year old sister, and the character development is all over the place. Random events like the retarded snow white and the yeti is retarded. The world building is just bad. 90% of the time, I have no idea what the area the main character is looks like, nor the cities, nor the countries or the world. It's all grey fog. It's just all around ****ty.
Really donβt understand how this could have become 3rd on weekly ranking - really poorly written, some of the most gaping plot holes I have witnessed not to mention the thick layers of plot armour. Many of the situations seem to have been made up on a whim of the author and going from 0 to 100 as he seems to get bored of sticking to one subject. They do say copying is the best form of flattery but some of this is just down right plagiarism from various stories - he randomly started throwing in hunter x hunter terms etc. for a couple of chapters then seems to totally forget about it. Overall, largely disappointing.

I rarely want to write a review, but this time, I iust can't stand it. I really don't know how this novel get into second rank in weekly vote nor do I know why those people who gave 5 stars review only has "zero chaps read" in their stats. But the one thing I know is, this novel is really a compilation of FULL OF TRASH ! Very bad that even with my quite easy to satisfied reading preferences refuse this novel! I am not talking about preference kind of stories, nor did I do this for a black campaign, but this novel really does it in a most TRASHY ways.. The MC is a hypocrite, full of nonsense justice, but his actions latter contradicts his sense of justice, the world revolves arround him (many MC like this). Those things I can accept. The logic of the story is nonsense, e.g: the monster hit the MC with a giant hammer with the speed of sound in close quarter combat and mc got to dodge it by ducking down while his body is only in a normal citizen level, and there is no sonic boom accompanying that hammer who's moving at a speed of sound? This kind of stupid logic I can also live with that. When the world is in danger, and all the world's leaders gather in one place, all the world's most beautiful minds thinking of a way to survive but can't think of anything except to receive that fate and die, here comes the time the MC to shine, by proposing a stupid idea that any 10 years old kid should know and the whole world sing a song of genius praises to him! And this happens many times! This doesn't prove that the MC is a genius (like the author intend to do), this only proves that the whole world are just a bunch of idiots. And I wonder how they even manage to live this long before the MC transmigrate a month ago? This I can't accept. The MC only show you that 1+1 is 2 and einstein class genius would praise him for MC's genius. What a stupid novel. Read it at your discretion, I'm sure you will be disapointed, don't trust the vote and assume this is a good story, and last thing, you have been warned !
I started reading it because of such high votes in daily voting system and then 3rd in power ranking. But man was I disappointed. This web novel has serious issues with plot armor and plot holes that it just ridiculous. I normally am an easy going reader and normally ignore such inconsistencies, but here its borderline insanity. Whatever MC wants he gets it by random event within next few pages. Also maybe this is specialty of this Monster World that MC was ported to but everyone there is so DUMB, don't want to get into details else it will involve spoilers. Also character depth is almost nil with everyone else except MC are simply one dimensional . Last but not the least translation quality is sub par with so many mistakes but that can be overlooked as translators are releasing at such a fast pace.My advise do yourself a favor and stay away from this one or you will also start doubting the ranking on Qidian(like me), thinking that maybe they are rigged as there is no way that such poor quality work can be ranked 3rd.
Ok first of all, the translator doesn't deserve 1 star. I would have given him 3 stars in quality (he tends to switch names from english to chinese without telling) and a 4 in stability. Unfortunately I just had to lower his stars so the total score would get lower. If you like a realistic world, realistic characters with realistic situations and fair powers this is NOT a story for you. I reached my limit of unrealistic **** after I got to the explination of the power system which is convoluted to say the least and our MC got such a unfair power I couldn't continue reading (see below). Explination of the power system: 1. Everyone has 360 columns. 2. Normal people has 200 grey columns at birth, leaving 164 white ones. 3. Every year one of the columns drains and becomes a grey one. 4. To unlock a grey column you need to put in 10 life crystals which apperantly is a rare drop and very expensive. 5. To get to the next power rank you need to unlock all your grey columns. 6. You can only unlock a grey column ONCE so if you don't fill all of your grey within a year you can never reach the next rank. This is the stupidest power system I've ever seen. First of all if its THAT hard to rank up goverments would restrict it to their top agents. Even if they didn't it would be impossible for a normal person to rank up, since they need to fill their wheel all in one go. This would mean that our MC would NEVER. EVER! have chosen this as a proffession since in this line of work, he needs to be strong first to get money so he can take care of his sister. To become strong he needs money to buy life crystals to power up, causing this to be a catch 22. Lets do some quick math. Our MC had 152 non grey colums at birth (apperantly he had a lower number then average). After 15 years this becomes 152-15=137. 364-137=227 grey colums to fill. Each grey one requires 10 life crystals (rare drop remember) causing him having to gather 2270 life crystals to break through to the next rank with 10 more for each year it takes. Now since this (apperantly) is a rare drop, costing the same ammount as a good weapon, lets say 10% of the monsters drop this. That means our MC needs to kill 22 700 monsters to rank up. And this is from the LOWEST RANK to the next one. That means that for hunanity to get an iron rank they need to kill on a average 25 000 monsters for Each. Damn. One.... THEY WOULD BE NATIONAL GOD DAMN TREASURES!!! *WARNING - Spoilers Bellow!* Around chapter 15 our MC is participating in an exam which would make their strength official and they would get a larger paycheck from the goverment. Somehow the goverment is fine with letting their examinees die in droves, the same guys we just figured out should've been national treasures. This is so stupid I actually had to stop reading for a while. When I finally gathered enough strength to continue this happens. Our MC' ONLY weakness so far was that his life force drained at an insane rate. Now this was a good weakness because it prevented him from taking it easy and created some urgency in this story. The author decides to throw this out the window by giving our MC the ability to absorb the life force of creatures he kills, ****** that rare drop we discussed before completly useless. He can litterally fill up all his columns with 10-15 monsters instead of the 25 000 everyone else has to kill. This ability is something everyone in this world chooses for themselves and our MC got the ability for graduating top of the class. If this ability (called goldfinger) was truly so powerful why doesn't EVERYONE and their grandmother have it? If they only have one or can only grant it to one why would the goverment give the most powerful tool at their disposal to a random poor guy just because he graduated top of his class? If the goverment has no clue about the capabilities of the abilities they grant why would they give this specific one to the top student? Why not just have a huge spinning wheel and let chance decide? ANYWAYS; The results of this is that our MC has zero weaknesses, is a genius who can learn things other poeple does in 103 days working 18 hours a day by half-assing it in 3 days. (Yes. He leared a swordstyle that took a talented person 1854 hours to learn in about 9-10 hours by WATCHING HIM. Sounds fair and realistic right?...) This will become yet another Gary Stue running around screaming "look at my amazing system" story... I'm litterally expecting a harem member to show up in 5 chapters and his little sister getting the hots for him which will somehow be acceptable in this new world which the author still hasn't defined if it's a new world, some form of time travel or some other dimension. My recommendation? DO NOT READ.
i give 5 stars to Translation Quality (I think you should separate translation quantity from the review of the novel ), but the story development, character design and world building is not worth a single star. I see many people votes of their power stone On this novel every week, So I read it (113 chapter). Each time I tell myself the story is going to get better But in end Just a waste of time. (No offense)
