What generous system, other systems in chinese books hand out "the bestiest!"(it's a word now) mansions by the dozen right after giving the host billions in stock options for just breathing. This system is a pauper in comparison
Heretic!
yeah I'll stop here, this book sounds as if someone is writing their diary, and is terrible at it. almost nothing is properly described and the mc is all over the place and generally stupid as a ball of hey. it's an MMO, can't find something in the world? google! i get that "ai generated world" might not have quest walkthroughs, but I'm sure a resource gathering map would be available online 15 minutes after the game went live.
yeah, this is where I'll stop, the reason simple, the author is breaking one of the cardinal rules of writing - the promise. The book started light hearted, sure it had a villain tag but nothing vile happened in the first 10k words, considered the promise section for a webnovel, introduction chapter for a normal book. But now, with every chapter more and more "mystery" is brought in and it feels forced, incoherent, and frankly unnecessary. And all of this is based on the authors comment that "it will be explained in the future", that's not how mystery works, there has to be buildup, a gradual layering. This feels more like reading a cook book and then suddenly your casserole is fighting aliens. the overall writing is good, some of the characters are maybe too similar, but not glaringly so. The language is well balanced between natural and more advanced vocabulary avoiding the feeling like the author is trying to hit you with a thesaurus. In short it would be a rather good book if the promise was kept, i would suggest writing an added chapter 0 for this book, not sure if wn allows this, that displays some of the more darker things to come in the future.
yeah no, so this novel went from interesting to "f that" in 2 chapters, I'm done.
how does 20%, meaning 1/5th light speed make a 16minute LS flight take 13 hours? math aint that hard ffs...
it only worked because Lia, like all other characters in this novel except mc, are idiots. He screwed her over, so time to equalize, "give me 450k, that you bid, or i will return the ring to the AH and tell them you have the sword." considering her suppressed vengeful/powderkeg personality it would have been on point, if only she was not effected by the "everyone in the same universe as mc has -99% intelligence" aura
this is chinese math?
If you are not a fan of impenetrable plot armor, this book is not for you. Every opponent of the MC is so stupid they couldn't get water out of a helmet with instructions written on top. But this is not the most frustrating part of the book, it's how the MC and his dumb ass spy chief are portrayed as "intelligent and brilliant" while all of their schemes are so basic a 5-year-old should be able to see through them, the only reason they work is that everyone else has had their intelligence lowered by about half. He manages to convince his opponents with the most benign arguments, there was a small section where he unintentionally caused terrorists to appear in the world, but he killed a bunch of people and everyone calmed down. The original terrorists took up farming, his allies, and own people were fine and were not afraid that they would be next. The author has tried explaining a lot of these issues by building a militaristic society, which would work. The problem is none of the negatives that come from a militaristic society are apparent, for example, where is the beating and abuse of those deemed weak? The mass execution of those not part of the pack? And don't come saying that it's because of the "heavy punishment in the law system he created", there are countries in the world where people get shot for drinking alcohol, and you can still find plenty of alcohol in them. The reason the world started moving away from pure punishment and moved to rehabilitation is that the punishment system creates more hardened criminals by forcing them to "go the full way". If we went too far with the move or not is a debate for another time. As a final note, the math makes no sense in this book, things are created instantly, perfectly, and without issues. I would really like to give this book a 1 star, but the WN voting method demands 2.4 as the quality of writing is good, and as far as I can see the book enjoys relatively stable updates.
I got this far, and I will write this here as a prediction for future chapters, I will comment a few hundred chapters later if I was right or not. This book seems to have the same problem as every other book of this sort. The MC has knowledge of the future, so he finds the bestest (it's a word, sush!) people to hire for his side, the issue here is that with the best people he should dominate everything so hard that it's not interesting anymore, to avoid that he gets what I call is a stupidity aura. What the stupidity aura does, is literally in the name, it makes the people around him stupid, as stupid as a bag of bricks. All of the books have this (all of the MMO nature books have this, SSG, TWO, MMORPG, etc.), where at some point the hired people are in a state where they couldn't get water out of a helmet with instructions written on top of said helmet. This is my prediction here as well, in a few hundred chapters the people around him will be incapable of doing the most basic things and the MC has to constantly baby them around everywhere. Then occasionally for the story they go do things away from the MC and are super capable again, but as soon as they return they will be affected by the stupidity aura once more. The only escape is that if the MMO aspect gets relegated in the book at some point if that happens then all bets are off.
