The writer can do better with writing quality, the character designs can also be better, and I already said that it was understandable that there wasn’t much world building. Everything wrong or bad about the writing is because the writer is either not skilled/educated or they didn’t bother to put in enough effort when writing. Why does it seem like you are pushing the blame for the crappy writing away from the writer and onto the readers? There isn’t anything we can do about the sub-par writing aside from letting the writer know by giving an honest review. That means highlighting the flaws and commending the positive aspects. It is a shame that any good aspects of the content was hidden away by the mediocre grammar, atrocious sentence structure, and the barely noticeable pacing.
Not bad, let’s just hope it doesn’t turn into the 1,000,000,000,e7245925 year old chinese MC that every women from age 15+ will bend over for “because he is so strong and it is the duty of women to serve”. Seriously though, here’s to the MC stopping at like 3-5 women (more if they die off) at most.
So not actually an apology but more so placating way of conveying slightly negative information? The “sorry” really threw me off as there are a few ways to phrase the sentence using the same words without being explicitly apologetic (minus the “sorry” of course). I had double shifts this entire weak so my mental faculties aren’t the best, Darktime shifts are also not helping it.
I completely forgot that the artifacts were sentient and needed rest. Is that based off of something because I haven’t seen such a concept being a main factor in the power system. I’ve read cultivation novels where artifacts have personalities but they tend to be just tossed in and hold no impact whatsoever.
Even if the power dynamics of the family aren’t the norm (like the daughter being physically stronger) it still plays out weird. The “subtext” shows the mother and daughter being quite close, having an almost sister like relationship. She was also giving her daughter relationship advice as a mother so being overly respectful just seems wrong for the situation. It was a very abrupt switch from playful teasing to cautiously choosing words in fear of harm. Only that sentence was written like an office worker was talking to a volatile boss who would make their job miserable at any slight, and not a mother playfully teasing her daughter about a boy she likes.
This whole scenario seems forced, be it the MC severing ties with them, their reactions, all of it. I understand that the MC wanted a vacation, and it would make less sense for him to not go on one after the first few chapters, but his entire “giving gifts to these few people” is almost pointless. The MC just ghosting his birthday party is also abad idea. He could have accomplished everything without doing such extreme actions and the way the “Heroines” reacted is just weird (the very definition of women bending over for the protagonist). His parents acting proud of him doing something where in real life the parents would beat the life out of him is just weird. Also, the fact that he just managed to get to a deserted island without the “armed squad that follows him whenever he leaves” or his butler finding out is plain inconsistent, just like most of this situation. There were some inconsistencies before that weren’t an issue but it the writer went out of their way to show how the MC has to ask his father for permission to leave if he doesn’t want to be followed.
Didn’t he already have a sword? Also, the beginning of the conversation between the mother and the sprouting yan where the mother apologizes is wrong. She is a mother not an equal, she wouldn’t be apologizing for anything. This is espescially true for asian clans where hierarchy and tradition is kept to an ectreme degree. Even if they aren’t extremely “traditional” like other clans, the mother shouldn’t act so respectful.
