    this chapter is a great example of everything bad about web novels. a thousand words to say the same thing repeatedly over again. There's maybe 20 words worth of useful info, then about 200 words of necessary description, and then it repeats over and over again. i noticed this book is starting to get bad slowly, I'm guessing fatigue is setting on for the writer as it often does when the content starts reaching this length.

    This story suffers from the same issue as many similar ones—when the MC has godlike luck, abilities, or cheats, it raises the question: how does anyone else in the world even survive? The answer always comes from the same tired explanations: 1. The MC is so unbelievably dumb that they couldn’t get water out of a helmet even with instructions written on it. 2. The side characters shouldn't survive, but thanks to lazy writing and over-the-top dramatization, they somehow do. 3. The fights the MC faces aren’t actually difficult—they’re just framed that way to create artificial tension. In this book, it’s a mix of all three. The MC is portrayed as "smart and ruthless," but his actions suggest he’s barely functional. The world around him bends over backward to keep characters alive, and the fights are dull and uninspired. One more thing—I’ve noticed a growing trend where "ruthless" is used as a synonym for "being an insufferable jerk." That’s ridiculous. Being ruthless means knowing how to manipulate people, use them effectively, and cut them loose when necessary—not just acting like an obnoxious tough guy. Yeah, I’m not spending a single coin on this.

    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

    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.

    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
