    First novel I dropped after the first chapter. The writing is atrocious and the direction was all over the place. Names and places were thrown at us but with no real context or any meaning to them. The dingdong battle and tiger squad or whatever being a press gang while the mc lines up for pay but gets his money whipped away. Even had the most generic chinese novel thing of all with a big guy that just slaps some dude randomly and wanders off. I truly hope the world never looks like it does in these novels.

    Awful just terrible. I can't tell if it's the writing or translation so I'm going to blame both and just tell you to skip over this one. Ignore the reviews about weather it's a rip off or not that's not important. What is important is that this is just another chinese sociopath novel that depicts the worl as if it was only china. The violence and lack of humanity in all the "characters" (if you could call them that for their lack of character) make for a unbearable read. The mc has the reasoning of an a.i from ten years ago and half of the personality. Everyone else is just a paper cutout there to either react or die. TLDR skip this shit.

    It is unfortunate written by someone with a third grade reading leven whi believes sonic the hedgehog is peak character design. Constantly smirking his way through every scene while the lack of punctuation makes it impossible to read comfortably. The story is also incredibly generic with not an interesting hook in sight. TLDR it is a less interesting and more poorly written Re:monster.

    It's an unfortunately mediocre story with little going on in the beginning and it gets worse with time. The characters feel like cardboard cutouts in every scene and the dialogue is just not that good. I like the idea and the premise but our good author needed to spend some time in editing before releasing the chapters.

    Just what everyone was waiting for. The quality writing, worldbuilding, and characters that we have come to expect are front and center. It is great that we got a very different mc that explores the mysterious world in a different but exciting way. Well worth your time and money.

    This is a really not good character to write a story about. The mc is a massive idiot that is struggling to understand basic concepts and I understand that it could be interpreted as a type of shock I doesn't make for a fun read. The most annoying thing is that the author is trying to explain the basics of the genera to us through incredibly repetitive sentences that if were cut out would shrink the story by half and pace it better. I tried to read more but I couldn't get past 15 chapters. I assume this is a first at bat and if so this will help get the author some writing experience and help them make something better later.

    Holy shit how is this rated so highly. Time to redress the balance. To all trash chinese authors out there I wonder how you find the machine learning bots to write this trash.

    It starts off strong and fairly simple with the characters all having immediate goals and motivations. It goes into absurdity when the mc is dense to the point of retardation and I don't mean in a cruel phrasing but in a medical sense. She has no concept of how babies are made and can't puzzle out even the most basic knowledge in this regard even with others telling he what to do. The male lead is either gay or impotent not bothering to make a move or even hint at things regarding their marriage. It strikes me as weird and unnatural to see characters acting this way even with the mc's backstory. Overall I like the novel but it loses some points for neutering the male lead and making the female lead too stupid even in context.

    The initial premise is rather common for a system novel with the exception of that we know where the system came from. It lands on some twit and we discover immediately how the current story will cove its plot holes. The mc has a rumor that messes with his ability to think properly, nice deflection there. The setting is hidden society type earth with cultivation subbed in for magic but it doesn't excuse all the references. While they are more understandable with this being earth they are neither funny nor relatable. The other problem is the fact that our innkeeper spends little time in his inn. With his world hopping which wasn't really interesting to his escapades on earth which also wasn't interesting. The final nail in the coffin for me was the random realm jump that gets waved away with a "something happened" before we are ill introduced to a bunch of characters we will never care about and a serving that while it has promise is not but ash in the end. Tldr the author had an idea but needed to go back over and edit it slightly.

    It started off quite strong with likable characters and a decent background to the setting but that began to change at the end of book one. I don't understand the idea of some schlub from earth being reborn in a new world as it has only ever dragged a story down in writing quality. An earth protagonist in another world has the typical cringy dialogue of stuff like "you mad bro" and "simp" which is jarring and destroys immersion while also being incredibly unfunny. Talking about unfunny let's not forget to mention when the mc and gang were sneaking away from a giant monster only to be discovered because the mc farted too loudly, how "funny" that was. TLDR the story started strong but I'd dropped when the author got too full of themselves and made one too many cringy jokes.
