so i will first go through the two high scores but first I want to say something THE AUTHOR IS A FREAKING LIER AND A BIG TIME LIER AT THAT!
going back to the two high scores, he has stable updates, and even though the world background isn't original and highly limited it's not bad, though if I could I would have given it a 3.5, not a 4.
now for the writing quality, not saying that I'm a genius in writing or a stickler for grammar, I'm not. and I normally don't complain about non-proper grammatical sentences and I won't here, the problem is that the writing style is very awkward although it's still readable, the style seems like we are reading a list of things that the mc is doing rather than experiencing the moment with the mc. it was highly prominent a the start and lessened slightly later on and if the 2 things I'm gonna talk about weren't so bad the awkward writing style wouldn't have been a total dealbreaker.
story development, eh, actually I'm kinda torn. i like how the other characters aren't your stereotypical "you dare! you seem to have eyes but not have seen mount tai" but the main problem is with the MC, he I supposed to focus on cultivation so he specifically joins a sect that specializes in pill making yet the story bends backward to keep the mc as naive as possible, they literally teach him NOTHING LITERALLY NOTHING and that's the ACTUAL theme of the novel, total idiotic (yes e instead of an I was done on purpose) nativity.
he also gets everything without any effort.
character design, I would have actually given the character design a 2 or 3 if the mc was normal stupid, but this MC would not be accepted In the "special" class at school, they need the special version of the special version of the special class to nearly keep up with the mc's ritardedness.
forget 3 brain cells or no brain cells, I'm pretty sure this dude has a high negative IQ probably the most idiotic mc i have ever read in my entire life and i read the trial read novels with every cycle for the first free chapters...
the author tries to play it as if the mc is naive because he was working on a farm, but his idiocy reaches levels that this excuse can't justify, simple things like 5 min of research is something that he actively doesn't do, he actively digs himself holes and then he realises that he dug himself a hole so what does he do? he digs it even deeper, if you reach ch 48 you would know what i mean.
fine, the dude hasn't ever read or watched any fantasy/ cultivation anything but do a slight bit of research, my dude, if that's something you got interested in the first instinct is to read up on it or watch things on the thing you are interested on to gain as much info as you can.
going back to the author being a lier, in his comment he says that the mc is mostly ignorant for the most part for the first 10 chapters, but that's a lie, if anything as times go on it gets worst and worst as you can no longer excuse his ignorance.
