    Lovely webnovel, lots of references that are explained and described in ways that overtly yet also elegantly fit the world. My biggest grip, like every other person, is the Hiatus and possible droppage by the translator, especially considering I accidentally dropped this novel Years back at chapter 710 and forgot I had read to this point so seing the 718 chapters exited me until I hot to chapter 700, read the part I had read before and then checked and realised it hasn't been updated in nearly 2 years. The best part will always be the world building for me and not just including the various references but also tbe interaction with the system interface, npc interactions and the separate servers having their own advantages and disadvantages and would get smoothened after getting access to the Specialties of other servers. But nothing really offsets the hatred I feel, at the world in general not the author, that its been nearly 2 years without a word

    I love this story so much, its know one of my few favourites and I will whole heartedly re-read this in the future. For anyone else that gets here and sees this I hope you enjoyed Nine Star Burden as much as I have.

    Also, please try to read on for longer, the early chapters are mainly their to establish the core of the story. The World development ramps up later on and expands to just more than the MC, his sister, and his sisters best friend. You just need to trust the story and keep reading, don't be discouraged by the beginning. The story develops its characters as the plot progress' you just need to keep reading.

    As someone who has finished the story aswell let me give you mostly spoiler free run down on the situation. MC : generally speaking I believe he's a good main character especially later on as he develops into a more reliable man but keeps his core character traits. The Power System : Beings can utilise Star Power through abilities called star techniques that originate from a core beas in their bodies called Star Beads. Humans are unique in that they can absorb Stat Beads and possible gain a Star Technique from Star Beads. They do this through a star map inate to every human when they awaken as a star warrior. The Star Map has slots that can be filled from absorbing star Beads, the more slots a person has, the higher their Innate talent in Cultivation. Also Star Map form an image that represent something, the star map image can dictate what type of star techniques a person can and cannot absorb. The MC's Golden Finger: He has a System that allows him to Absorb all Star Techniques from a Star Bead in on star map slot instead of the usual one star Technique for one star slot for the majority of people; some talented people/lucky people can maybe have more techniques in a slot. The system also quantifies the power scaling. The MC's Black Finger: Unlike the majority or people who have 15 star slots on average MC has 9 which means he only can fill nine slots and he is very slow and Cultivation to higher levels, his star map also has an unusual shape which makes things difficult for hime later on.

    I love this story, I temporarily dropped it around chapter 670 ish as the grammar kinda declined but reading the ending has made me love this story. It kinda falls into the pit of having a rushed ending feel but unlike others it really leaves me satisfied.

    this is a very...limited power scale, hopefully their is more nuances in the different levels of powers otherwise this will be a big let down

    This feels a bit out of nowhere as we've haven't had any inkling of this being mentioned before, like not even an offhand quote from his father when they were talking about the MC not knowing any Spells. Or when he first realised all the boys where trapped but that might be my bad memory. Like A few crumbs of his childhood upbringing would of been nice

    Nakayama, ever since he was but a small boy, walked through life without hatred. That was what he was taught, it was in his blood at this point. Sure, it was perfectly natural to get frustrated with other people, but the very idea of holding deep-seated resentment towards someone didn't settle right with him for a reason he didn't quite understand, but that feeling was definitely fueled by his childhood teachings. That same unsettling feeling carried over when he thought about his relationship with Chiaki. That kid gave him a familiar vibe, a bittersweet one to say the least. It was almost as if Chiaki was a walking manifestation of Nakayama's own memories, both good and bad.

    Again what is his Level? you left us on a cliffhanger at ch 50 and you didn't say his level in ch 51 either. So what is his level

    "S-so what…?" Ruth raised her voice. "If your level wasn't so much higher than mine...my strength and speed as they are now would be more than enough to beat you! Who cares if my magic is lackluster? My entire family's combat is based on melee, it's tradition and we've done just fine without a whole bunch of magic!"

    AGAIN with the Spells. Why are some Spells English and some another language?

    "I used to ask him about it a lot, but I learned my lesson back in middle school. It was no use, he'd never train me or teach me anything. Don't get me wrong, our relationship as a family was great, but I never figured out why my dad decided to never train me in any magic arts. Of course, it wasn't as if it would've proved to be all that useful because Moku City wasn't exactly fond of using magic for everything, but it still would've been nice. The only spell he ever taught me was Ondo Ochiru, a temperature spell, and I didn't even have to ask for that one. We were out in a cabin in some snowy mountains and I got really cold one night, so he said "okay, I'll teach you this spell I know" and that was it."

    our bodies act differently depending on temperature. In hot environments makes our body subtle change to release more heat. This is bad when it's cold cause we need a certain level of body temperature to stay healthy. And if its cold outside and inside our bodies aswell, then death or atleast frostbite. It's the same with the cold, our body traps as much heat as possible when it's cold so we can function normally. This is bad in hot temperatures as overheating is extremely likely now as your trapping a lot of heat in the body causing heatstroke.

    "The warmer something is, the longer it takes for the temperature to decrease, no? Well, just then, I happened to decrease all of your temperatures, which would make my next move a hell of a lot more effective, wouldn't you say?"

    Again why are they speaking in another language when they very obviously spoke in English beforehand

    "I wonder about that," Yasuko muttered to himself. Then, he chanted something else. "Toppuu." (Literal Translation: Gust)

    Why does Chaika say Flame Arts: Infernal Tsunami but these dudes say Uru instead of Float?

    "Here! Grab onto me!" another one shouted. Immediately, all of the blue-shirts grabbed onto the one in the middle. He held up both hands and put his fingertips together and shouted "Uku!" (Literal Translation: Float)

    Reminder, Chaika is Level 49 Almost level 50, MC is level 1... Also just cause he was defiant doesn't mean he can't be kinde and humble and just cause he is kind and humble doesn't mean he can't be defiant and strong-willed

    "It's alright, Koko." Nakayama said, petting the back of Koko's head. "It was my fault, I should've given him the bed when he asked for it. It was inconsiderate of me to not take his feelings into account."

    It was probably so that he would have a more natural reaction when meeting them for the first time. Also it would show his true feelings on the matter and show whether or not he was part of the majority of men who are disgusted and hate the femboys or whether he was a man who thought of them as what they wanted to present

    "Well, I suppose I can understand why a boy such as yourself would be confused at a time like this," she responded, inhaling the nicotine from her cigarette once more. "I assume you've exclusively found an attraction towards females all your life, and now that you've discovered you have feelings like that towards someone who is not, it's quite mentally draining. I can put my feet in your shoes."

    And nothing was mentioned about him being nice. It said that Chaika was trying to protect and help Koko and Kiyomi, it said nothing about him being nice.

    He looked up and inhaled. "You too, Chiaki." he thought to himself. "Even though you're scary and aggressive and all, I still don't hate you. One day, I hope you and I can start over and be friends. And, if not, I'll at least be there to help you take care of Koko and Kiyomi."
