    This is a fun story and concept.I am however dropping the story as of chapter 90.My main complaints are: 1. MC too OP too fast.2. as of chapter 90 it's still week 2 of the first year.3. Casual bashing of characters (imo), especially Ron, Hermoine and Dumbledore.

    This is great! Writing Quality: No typo's as far as I have read, the prose is good I've not been confused once so far. There are some info dumps but those are essential for world building. Story Develpment: The author clearly has a plan for the plot, so far the story is cohesive. Character Design: The cast so far is pretty small, we get time to spend with characters before new ones are introduced which is something I adore. Updating Stability: As of the chapter I'm reading 4 chapters per week, which is phenominal with the writing quality. World Background: Future Earth space age, I've not read far enough for anything else.

    Writing Quality 4/5: Good word diversisty and well structured sentences, the reader won't struggle here. There are however a few minor typo's every few chapter that are probably due to autocorrect. I.E: Brian becomes brain. Story Development 4.5/5: The story focuses Mc's inventions/discoveries used for the betterment of others, be it individuals or entire communities. Something I'd like more of is POV's from different characters it's one thing to see the improvements of the Burtons via the MC another entirely from the POV of say a guard. Character Design 4/5: The MC is too OP... Well that is sort of the point but I think I'd enjoy the story more if the MC had to work together with say Ceasar to perfect the manuals for the major heavenly laws. In the end it feels as if other major characters in the story can never measure up to the MC. Updating Stability 5/5: Seems to update frequently, I just binged nearly 300 chapters so I'll just leave 5/5. World Background 4.5/5: Starts out as pretty standard xinxia fare I.E: eight kingdoms, 4 empires multiple planets. While you read the story however the book/novel takes the time to introduce dukes and the royal family from both the Mc's kingdom and foreign kingdoms.

    Author writes well, there are few mistakes gramatically if any. Story focuses on Mc's POV which is standard for this type of novel. The novel throws little shade onto the supporting characters but again the MC is the primary focus of the novel so don't expect much in this regard. If i were to make any requests for the novel it would be exploring other characters POV's, and giving the MC some goals beyond exploring his system and becoming stronger. A cool-ish idea would be a POV Chapter where somone in the military has some sort of last stand vs monsters before he dies. The MC would then together with his class/year go to do cleanup of the area. This scenario could put some weight onto the MC's goal of becoming stronger.

    Loving this development. It can go so many different ways, teach a tech world how to cultivate for instance or maybe the mc will not be OP this time round. Wonder what his reward will be, hopefully tech for his territory.

    Keywords: System; OP-Protagonist; Face Smacking; Power Fantasy Main character has a system that makes him invincible within a 10 feet radius centered on the top of a mountain, his system when gaining experience let's him increase the radius. The store bears strong resemblance to stories like "I'm actually a cultivation big-shot" the key difference being the main character in this novel is not clueless about how powerful he is. Disciple, don't cause trouble master won't leave the mountain! relies on face smacking, misunderstandings and irrational antagonists to tell its story. TL;DR Better than most on trial read at this time, slightly excited.

    Keywords: System; OP-Protagonist; Power Fantasy Lu Li (the protagonist) is reincarnated into a cultivation world, he finds himself in a devil sect and must show progress in the devil sects devil techniques otherwise he'll be killed. As the protagonist does not want to cultivate devil techniques he visits the devil sects repository and obtains Buddhist techniques. Lu Li ends up cultivating both devil and Buddhist techniques simultaneously and steels himself to become more ruthless to survive in the devil sect. He later kills a fellow disciple that attacked him. The best aspect of the novel so far is the Disco Elysium inspired cultivation techniques that bicker, though so far the devil techniques just hate the Buddhist techniques and vice versa. The techniques do not comment on anything other than cultivation so far, so you won't get a devil technique urging him to kill someone while a Buddhist technique tells him otherwise. TL;DR Better than most on trial read at this time, has a few typo's, overall meh.

    Translation Quality: Terrible, feels like an edited machine translation. Stability of Updates: New novel. Story Development: Slow paced chapters with padding, cliche. Character Design: Flat characters, main character has cliche personality. World Background: It's Earth, somehow in USA.

    My guess is stuff like this gets picked because it's easy to translate, or that it is already so sub-par that when the translation is also sub-par people don't bat an eye. Since the cost of chapters is based on word-count, not quality this will probably continue to be the case going forward.
