Just gonna rate this average, and the reason for giving for stars in update stability is because I can't rate it as I only started reading while it already has a 1000 chapters.
Book has nice story, but potential was limited by several factors such as creativity, inconsistent names and genders, stats and multipliers.
There are mages, warrior, priests, and so on. But it's like they also don't exist. In combat scenes, it's always offscreen at later chapters after MC went past tier 2.
All we read is that, they activated all their defensive skills and equipment skills, and that's it. We barely even know the type of skills or spells that exists in higher tiers.
There is almost no unique abilities. The mage for example are of different varieties such as elemental mage, space mage, arcane. But all elemental mage in this book only use two types of skills, fire and ice.
Fun fact is that there is shadow, wind, earth, and lightning which we only saw at the beginning. Even for the fire and ice, I haven't seen any thing different from ice barrier, ice monument, frozen tomb, and two other fire skills.
There has been mentions of lightning barriers and fire shield, but that's only at the beginning chapters. After that, nothing creative, the same thing all through.
The only unique character with skills so far was Xi Fan. we could see how he employs large scale group shield, mind control and so on. Then again, that's it. Everything else is repetitive, everyone using the same abilities with no unique traits or skillful deployment of skills.
The Priest is pretty much straight forward, heal and buff. Or rather, that's what was mentioned, but have we ever seen Priest buff in this book? Maybe once or twice, outside that, it's dead. The only news you hear is them healing or perform mind theft which doesn't sound like a Priest skill.
There are mention of sub classes in this book, but that's it. It only later came to light around chapter 900+ once or twice.
I mean, Su Yu has so much magical knowledge that he can literally give you every single details about any magical related thing be it in theoretical knowledge, array, or whatnot. But somehow, he doesn't know spells until he reads a book.
I was like, he is struggling to find potions, but his magical knowledge says he is capable of making them. Why not try to produce this things in gae world or in real world, especially when he has a clone? Then max them out with his point star hand.
Honestly, his class is a waste. let's not even go there. After tier 2, we saw nothing about it.
I can keep mentioning more, but it will take too long. So, I'll write one more thing.
********************
STATS
********************
Here's what Su Yu stats should be;
*******************
TIER 6;
- For hp > (Regular tier buff) 10 × 15 (Boss Template) × previous stats at tier 5.
This is a full 150× buff. In simple words, he is getting 15x the normal hp of any tier 6, while others gets times 10 their base stats.
- For all other stats > Regular 10 × 5 (Boss Template) × current basd stats (tier 5)
That's a full 50x buff to all stats for him. whereas others get x 10, his is five times other tier 6.
Basically, he should have been able to defeat tier 7 while being tier 6. And with his spells at legendary, it will make up for lack of higher tier spells.
*******************
TIER 7
- All current stats from his tier 6 peak ×10
(Which is already for more than what anyone below tier 8 can have)
Now tell me, can any other person compare to those stats within tiers lower than tier 8? Although, he would still lose to a tier 8 in terms of share stats.
*******************
Tier 8:
All his tier 7 peak stats × 1000.
Basically, he becomes unbeatable starting here. As the gap will only get wider when he keeps evolving beyond tiers higher than 8.
The boss template is a massive gap as he had it early while transcending to Tier 6.
*********************************
You just need to take careful considerations and thorough planning when writing game elements with multipliers such as % or ×
