    I don't understand, why the family can't afford Pain relief? If anyone can get a first-time 100K loan from a bank, and a potion is only 10K per bottle and you need maximum 4 bottles - why not just tell every junior to go and buy their own bottles? Even on an official "no-scam" market it will be ±50K - half the maximum loan. And then every junior can have maximum chances of awakening and also every junior will be responsible for his own debt, no family resources wasted.

    @author >> I am 17 years old just like everyone here. I never understood this part of the Maxwell family. They have what - like 40 youngsters all of the same age? And they even have a tradition of setting up a competition between them. How did this happen? Do all of their parents coordinate with each other to get pregnant at the same time? Like, is there a family conference: "Family members, its this time again, this year is a breeding year! Start fornicating like crazy, we need the next generation all to be the same age for the competition!" So how is it happening? They have a breeding year and then they take 5 years gap between generation? Or is the Maxwell family this huge so they have randomly 40 kids every year naturally and spend (40*30) 1.2 BILLION dollars EVERY YEAR just for a tradition?

    And in real world everybody will die eventually anyway from old age or something else. It doesn't give people right to murder each other, just because sooner or later people die on their own ;-D

    The story is somewhat boring, to be honest. Yes, there's magic/cultivation and stuff, but there's no thrill - the MC gets a "secret" OP gold finger, everybody is dismissing him at first and then impressed with his progress... *yawn*... Very cliche. The author tried to be original with the general setting - i.e. its "us" invading other world, not the other way around - I'll give you that. But its not enough to make the book worth reading. The plot setting is novel, but not used well enough to carry the book with everything else being mediocre. There is silly school drama, the face slapping, tournaments... *triple yawn*. Overall, it never feels like the stakes are high for the main character - we just know in our guts that he will win everything, have all the luck, all the best encounters. Basically, even when formally in danger, it never feels like that - he can (and does) go without any lasting losses through mortal challenges he extremely under-prepared for again and again. I found I was worried more about his support female character (the smart one) than the MC himself. At least her situation is really dire and she is on a countdown to solve it without any cheats.

    If you had a perfect memory erasing and healing technology, would it be alright to torture people if you heal them and made them forget afterwards? This "simulation" is good enough for people living in it to be self-aware with emotions, logic and desires. "Just a simulation" is not an excuse, very much like its not good to torture people if you can make them forget it afterwards.

    The synopsis don't even tell what's the story about or who's the character. Neither any of the reviews - they sound so vague and indistinct, these "reviews" could be easily copy-pasted to any other novel, makes you wonder it this is just bots. Unless the synopsis at least gives me an idea what's the book is about, I'm not going to bother spending my time on it.

    Thanks for the reply. To clarify, most of frustration comes from the way you chose to do the synopsis. If was dramatic, it ended with a cliffhanger, I was excited and then I open the actual book to... normal school stuff... more of normal school stuff... **** self-esteem drama.... >:-O

    The summary would make you believe the MC was somehow abused or mistreated. I've read the prologue (which is frustratingly long and lasts 5 chapters) and nothing of sorts is happening. In fact, everyone is super-nice to him and he is the one who acts weird and extremely paranoid. To main character, Kai, is some introverted kid with inferiority complex so deep, he flinches even when people give him compliments. He can't talk to his mother, he can't talk to his landlady and he can barely communicate with his new friends. If (on of his friends) wasn't so social and kept inviting him in, he'd probably never had any friends at all. All along the story (as far as I read) he is complaining on an on in his head, feeling miserable for no reason, even when his friends offer him amazing adventure, he somehow twists it in his head to feel like a victim of kidnapping. Its like if you constantly hear ominous music playing in the background of his life... Really, if something bad happens to him in the story, I would feel satisfaction. He probably deserves it at some point.

    How many of these garbage filler chapters are there? I am losing patience with this Kai's stupid emotional hang-ups. Get to the good stuff already, author, nobody cares about yet another shy kid doing NORMAL stuff.
