Fellow_Daoist_1902

A frustrating read. The main character has a very small role in proceedings, preferring to start out of the limelight despite being very powerful. The author opts for an absurd plot point where the main character is not aware of his own strength, and overprepares for situations that end up being extremely simple for him to deal with. There is never any real sense of danger for his disciples either, since their master can solve any problem they could ever possibly face. This makes for a very dull journey, where everything comes easy for the disciple characters.

Nothing new, nothing different. It's a tried and tested premise, and the execution isn't anything to write home about either. The translation is horrible, and really disrupts the reading experience.

A very late review, perhaps, but here we go all the same. A lovely novel. Sure, it has its flaws, but no other novel had me hungry for more quite like this one. Likeable characters, conflicts that I actually cared about, comedic moments, interesting fights and a quirky plot. Nostalgia possibly has a big role to play in my undiminished admiration for this work, but its appeal is apparent regardless of the view through my rose-tinted glasses. All one needs to do is to try it, and further encouragement becomes meaningless, since this novel will not let you stop. All this coming from someone who hated the climax portions, and the incessantly repetitive power progression of the main character. Long story short, I highly recommend it. While the destination may not be worth it by itself, the journey definitely makes it enjoyable.

While skimming through other reviews, what surprised me the most was how generous they were with their praise. Apart from the protagonist, none of the other characters seem to matter. They are templates, not characters, and their interactions seem like conversations between AI assistants. The system has a decent design, but the world background is horrendous. Wars, trade and organisations are all dealt with haphazardly, with no sense of immersion or realism whatsoever. Honestly not worth anyone's precious time.

Mediocre writing, bad story development and horrible translation. I persisted in reading because I like family slice-of-life stories, but this one really tested my patience. Characters are not likeable either, designed to be exceedingly shallow and two-faced.

My bones also make cracking sounds when I move, I didn't realise that I was in the thunderous realm all along. Perhaps the joint pains are a bonus.

It's probably just me, but this story is a real test of patience while it's centered on the music.

I just wanted to know when this Don Quixote album arc finishes, and Renly goes back to making movies.

Thank you for the update. For how many more chapters is this story going to focus on the music?

Thank you for the update.
