maybe it’s just the early part of the story that completely blows, but I can’t help but hate the dialogue and Alex’s nonstop thinking sessions. almost everyone at the academy are nobility, but don’t actually act like it at all (probably cause the original story is very tropey). the princess especially doesn’t have any of her status actually reflect in her dialogue. not to mention how her whole purpose so far is to be a stereotypical love interest which just makes her so annoyingly 1-dimensional. Alex himself is probably the most annoying part of the story where he just contradicts himself and does nothing but make excuses most of the time. “I should be proactive,” but he will continue to keep playing it by ear. he has literally made ZERO plans to solve any future issues. the most proactive thing he did so far was make the artifacts to temporarily boost his strength which is oh so conveniently negated by the enemy final boss because he can reverse engineer anything. so the obvious solution is to grow his personal strength that can’t be replicated by others right?? nope! how would he explain how he grew strong so fast? idk, maybe just BRUSH IT OFF like he always does to anyone who asks? or just use the ‘magical genius’ persona he made by making the artifacts! it’s so frustrating to read him come up with a 1000 reasons why he can’t do X when half of the people at his school do not matter and the only person who does is the Void Sovereign. on top of that, he knows he can’t hide and is already in the spotlight. so why does he keep acting like he can’t do something absolutely crazy as if it’s expected? ‘oh no! the faceless extras at the academy would start questioning how I did X!’ WHO CARES? I like Vain’s stories a lot but this one just feels so lackluster and contradictory compared to the others
i feel like this trait is so… pointless? he hasn’t used any weapons so far and the only way this is made relevant is if he conveniently finds a bunch of random weapons with special skills or something. otherwise, i feel like magic would just be 1000x better than being moderately good at every weapon
he did talk about his younger sister before like 3 chapters ago
yes it would
the hp thing was just an example i think because some games use hp instead of stamina when you have mp already
it’s alright, but it’s a crackfic without any of the humor. the MC is the definition of unlikeable and the hammed up gambler stuff falls flat for me. blue eyes white dragon was cool, that’s about it
farming experience even mid fight, does this refill his reiatsu?
this was the last way i thought it would go, now i have NO idea what his plan is
this is a really big crossover story that is introducing another cartoon/show every chapter. it is really difficult to read through the first 25 chapters when the plot moves at a snails pace to keep adding more and more crossovers that won’t matter. they don’t matter because the MC/Dexter hardly interacts with any of them directly. why is there an entire chapter dedicated to going to the grocery store just so the loud family is introduced (doesn’t even talk to them btw)? for a crossover story, it is always a mistake to show nothing but exposition and setup without ANY meaningful character interaction to keep the story interesting. unfortunately, most of this story reads like AI-assisted, so there is just a ton of bloat in every paragraph that makes my eyes glaze over. half of the words can be cut, and nothing of value would be lost. the start seemed really strong, but the direction of the plot is all over the place. I cannot read another chapter of nothing happening while it cuts to someone else for MORE setup
the guy below me will complain about everything chinese and still read another CN translation
