It's neither good or bad, just average. Based on the free chapters, I'd say it's below average, whereas the paid ones bring up the rating slightly. However, it's a very generic story. MC has an OP class and an unrivaled growth-rate. He can learn any spell and max them out as soon as he learns them, essentially able to spam abilities, and always seems to obtain the best equipment. He wants to hide his talent... for some inexplicable reason... yet fails to do so at every corner. A very basic, very standard OP MC novel. Do with that what you will. More in-depth review: ------------------------------------- Writing Quality(2.5/5): The grammar, as in spelling, punctuation, capitalization, etc. is actually pretty good. However, that's not saying much compared to other Webnovels. What really brings down my rating is the wording, sentence/paragraph structures, flow, dialogue, and things either being there when they shouldn't be or vice versa. Sometimes, information is just missing, only to be brought up a few paragraphs later. Everything just seems a little off. It reads almost like a Chinese MTL with better grammar. That might be slighting the novel a bit too hard, but that's the feeling I get. If Chinese MTL is a (1/5), then this is a (2.5/5). You won't necessarily lose braincells trying to read it, but it's nothing special. ------------------------------------- Updates(5/5): So far, so good. ------------------------------------- Story Development/Plot(3/5): Very average. It's primarily about an MC with unrivaled potential trying to become OP. I know, that's like most Webnovels of this genre, but this one lacks spice and character that keeps it from being great. On top of that, there are too many things that, in my opinion, bring the rating down, holding it back more. The main one is, what is the direction of the novel? It's fine to read about an OP dude being OP, but why should we care? Why should we, the reader, grow attached to the MC and follow him on his journey? What sets him apart from other generic MCs? What's his role in the world? If he doesn't necessarily have one(which is fine), then why should we keep reading about him? I feel that the answer to these questions are missing. Other than wanting to get strong, the MC, from what I've observed, doesn't really have any real goals. He just, kind of keeps diving into dungeons, while making enemies and spending a lot of his time dealing with both of those. Now, through this, he does experience physical growth and obtains a number of skills, items, and strength, but it all just feels kind of meh. Like the author is trying to force a plot, rather than have one unfold naturally. As I said previously, it's not bad. You get exactly what you expected, but I do wish there was more to latch onto. More that would MAKE me want to buy more chapters and read this everyday. The second point that I find distasteful, and this one is mostly personal preference, is that the world seems intent on revealing the MC's abilities. Not just his, but literally everyone's. I said before that it reads like a Chinese MTL. I didn't simply mean that in terms of writing quality. This is a fairly common occurrence with Chinese Magic Realism novels. You have the "Awakening Ceremony", where you unlock your talent and its grade, which is then announced to the whole world. Then, in one of the Secret Realms, his actions are recording and displayed for everyone to watch. The MC wants to hide his talent, but the world is giving him a giant middle finger. The third thing I find odd, and a bit annoying, is that the MC went from saying he won't join an organization to then joining one(probably one of the most dangerous) and then choosing to go to a university that supposedly holds "incomprehensible old monsters" within them. This is just me, but I'm pretty tired of reading this: 1. Awakening Ceremony 2. Either "fails" and hides, or is exposed. 3. Enters dungeon and becomes OP among the lower rings of society. 4. Gets found out. Joins organization. 5. Realizes he ain't sh**, and trains. 6. Goes to University... for... some reason. In these types of Magic LitRPG novels, I'm always really confused why people strive to go to University. To go a bit deeper, I don't fully understand why Universities still exist. Most "magic" in these stories come from skill books, which are obtained in Secret Realms/Dungeons/Monster Drops/Etc. The only reason I can see wanting to go to a University is for these Secret Realms. I suppose they might also teach combat as well, but you don't really need to go to a University to learn how to fight. Especially if you're already part of a Clan/Family/Organization/Guild. Most of the time, a "University" is just a way to introduce new characters, young masters, and to bring the MC to a new place where he can have almost 100% supervision and countless people vying to either "teach" him or kill him. I don't really see this novel taking a different route, but who knows? I could be wrong. As for things that I like, in regards to the plot.... I can tell that the author is trying. He's improving as a writer, which I find admirable and enjoyable. He introduces other POV's, allowing us to grasp different perspectives, and do a bit of foreshadowing. It's easily digestible. You know what you're getting. No convoluted nonsense or random plots. It follows a rather linear progression. ------------------------------------- Character Design(3.5/5): Cockroach-like enemies. Side Characters don't feel all that special. However, the female characters aren't just blindly in love with the MC or his power. (Though, it might be a different story for his D ;). ) But they are very cliche. Take any ice beauty from any other novel and you can replace her with FL #1. Then you have the strong yet somewhat mysterious FL, who works in the underworld. I wouldn't say these are bad, but you can do better, add a bit more to enrich their characters. Author tries to give everyone a bit of personality, which is a huge plus. The MC is a bit of a toss-up. Either you like him, or you find him rather annoying, perhaps a bit childish in some cases. I find that it's hard to get an accurate read on his character, mostly because he spends a lot of his time fighting. He's a bit shameless, arrogant, prideful, maybe a little greedy, but at the same time, we don't really know much about him. It feels like the MC began his existence at adulthood. I don't know if that makes any sense, but it feels like we're severely lacking in his history and background. In fact, do we even know what the MC looks like? I can't remember. For those reasons, I can't quite give it a (4/5), but I do find the characters in the novel, in general, above average. ------------------------------------- World Background(???/???): I know, my rating makes no sense, but there's not really much known about the world in the first 40-50 chapters. Really, the first 100, but I started paying less and less attention to each chapter after~50, so I can't give completely accurate descriptions about the world. Like I said, the MC is almost always in a Secret Realm. We know about certain groups, families, Secret Realms, Universities, and a little bit about the past, but mostly surface level stuff. I'll let you guys come to your own conclusions regarding this. ------------------------------------- Overall: It's not a bad novel. Generic? Yeah, but I'd say give it a shot. If you're looking for something new to read on Webnovel, this is one of the better "new" novels on this site. Try out the free chapters. That'll give you a pretty good understanding of the novel, its direction, and if you feel like you'd enjoy it.

Yeah, if water froze, they'd have different volume, but if you simply compared a 1x1x1 block of ice compared to a 1x1x1 block of water, they'd fill up the same space, meaning they had the same volume. On the other hand, their mass will not be the same. Ice is less dense than water, meaning that within that cube, there'll be more water. However, they take up the same amount of space, so equal volume. I was just trying to compare the two side-by-side and that, in order to match the adaptability of water, she'd have to incorporate the 'path of least resistance' type of flow and distribution that water has.

To put it simply, yeah

Sadly, no

I agree with the previous comment. Nothing against the author, but I have a strong dislike toward both Rudeus and Paul. However, I think I’m just not a fan of Mushoku Tensei as a whole. The only characters I liked were the side characters, who barely got any screen time. The rest of the story was like watching a child predator reform. Mission: Keep it in your pants (impossible) Seems to be the theme of the story

Yes, but at the same time, no. Ice baths are great for muscle recovery more than muscle growth. For example, say you go to the gym, then immediately hop in an ice bath. Your muscles will recover significantly faster, but doing so could negate all potential gains from that workout session as the cold water acts as an anti-inflammatory, limiting the process of repairing and rebuilding your damaged muscles go through after working out. However, that’s not to say that ice baths or cold showers can’t be useful. It’s really all about timing. While they don’t necessarily promote muscle growth directly, they are great for recovery. So, taking cold showers before a workout or on rest-days could be beneficial. But, in the end, everyone is different. Try things out for like 4-8 weeks, see how you feel, and change it up if necessary.

I thought Adam was his Father

First, I'd like to start off by saying that the fic is... okay. I don't really know DxD, or most animes for that matter, well enough to judge whether the things in it are correct or not. Frankly, I don't care, either. So, I won't comment on that. Normally, I like to do long-form, in-depth reviews, but I don't think there's a need for me to do that here. It's pretty simple, really: This is not a fic about a Multiversal Therapist. Maybe in a 100+ chapters it will be, but right now, it's just another DxD fanfic. Not a particularly great one, either. The first few chapters were great. It set the direction of the fic well, but as soon as the 3rd chapter hit, it's like the entire tone and theme shifted. It went from a Massage Therapist fic to some random, love-driven demi-god Progression Fantasy. Don't get me wrong, I would read something like that, if that's what the title and synopsis told me I'd be reading. This is less so about a Massage Therapist and more about a guy who can massage if needed. If you are expecting what the title promised, turn away from this.

I would assume probably somewhere within this range. Twilight vampires have been shown to be able to lift and throw cars, which can weigh between like 1-2 metric tons for just an average car. So, the minimum strength for an average vampire is probably somewhere around 3-5 metric tons. Again, that’s just the minimum. As for the maximum, I’d say between 10-20 metric tons is a fair estimate. Anymore than that and you start getting into the range of like Marvel characters(The Thing, Thor, Hulk at his absolute weakest, Colossus(X-Men). Also, people like All Might from MHA. These are just estimates though. You can do whatever you want.

As if Mira isn't older than her. Lol

My new novel, Labyrinth Chronicles.

What is that? With like 2.2 billion points, he can spend the next 12000 years or so with time sped up

I meant that Mira thought that there were a few plants in the gardens from those Continents.

Not sure how you did your math or where you got a "month" from, or the "2 million" number, but neither one adds up. Saying it would take a month to heal at 10000x the rate means it'll take the average person like 822 years to heal a severed spine. Already impossible, but let's just go with it cause fantasy. Then, saying that they can heal it in 5 seconds by having 2 million x the speed (which is only 200x faster than before) means it'll take the average person around 3.5 months to heal a severed spine. But it doesn't matter. Regardless, the author's calculations are just wrong. Unless the average person in the world can heal severed spines in like half a day(cause 5 seconds x 10000=50000 seconds), which sounds ridiculous, then all we have to go off of is normal humans in our world.

Well, House would probably fit better, but just for clarification purposes, they all mean different things. Sect=In cultivation/Fantasy settings, a Sect is a group of people of similar beliefs, or that practice similar techniques. Think cultivation techniques, sword focused teachings, etc. Clan(or I suppose, Sept)=A large family, and/or a group of families. They’d usually have branch families, multiple generations of people, and control a decent amount of land and resources. I suppose a house would just be a small family, probably made up of just close relatives with not nearly as much land, power, control, or resources. Nobody really uses ‘Sept’ and Sects usually aren’t made up of only blood-related people.

I’d prefer this

I honk this is good. While I don’t think that you should always listen to people’s comments, but killing the maid was mostly unnecessary. It only made the MC look bad when there wasn’t much of a reason to. At the same time, it’s not like it mattered all that much, just a little out of place. However, you also put a nice spin on it, so it all worked out.

I’m just assuming he’s human. I’d say I gave the MC a massive benefit of the doubt, even considering the System and the fact that there’s superpowers. I haven’t read it in a while, but didn’t he heal a severed spine in like 5 seconds? With the 10,000x healing factor, that essentially means he’s able to heal a severed spine, by himself and without external help(including the system) in ~14 hours. Mind you, he’s not an immortal, special race, an extremely powerful person, or using a special technique. I’m assuming that he’s basically a bit stronger than a normal human who obtained a unique talent(system). If it were another talent, like Extreme Regeneration, with the description of being able to heal anything in 5 seconds or less, it’d make more sense, but it is purely healing factor. Sure, it’d be good for us to know what that factor is based on, but considering he was basically a normal human at the beginning, well… I think that’s good enough unless explicitly said otherwise.
