Its too much jammed in one...So hes got these awesome bloodlines, controls all the elements, these equipment tattoos from his multiple professions, this super rare side kick..... it goes on. Its like squashing several op protagonists into on character. This story has enough plot lines for several separate novels. And yet at the same time, the sub plots just repeat over and over. Jealous or greedy characters looking for a spouse is like the cause of everything in this novel. Occasionally the story bucks conventions but other wise hits all of them at the same time. Not worth the premium cost but otherwise a decent time killer.

Furthermore the pacing is ridiculous! His age is arbitrary and irrelevant to his never changing mindset/maturity. His goes to multiple schools and country but that gets hand waved away. He’s spent 8 years in school without ever attending a class? It was just briefly mentioned that his tutors taught him some things. ... its mess and unwieldy. Seriously this novel could be broken up into 3 or 4 decent ones set in the same world with different protagonists.

I admit that I started him too young and regretted it but it was too late to delete and start over at that point. That’s why he comes across too mature for a child under 10. But it would have been weird to skip too much time. I appreciate your feedback since I do see where you are coming from. I think I was just trying to pull from all my favorite stories and make up my own world but it became too much. Trust me, I’m starting to realize that as well since it’s hard for me to keep track. I think creating an outline has started to help me find the route I want to go. Thank you for the honest feedback! I like reading through sincere reviews whether it’s criticism or compliment.

I really did enjoy quite a bit of it, especially when the potential antagonists made reasonable common sense decisions haha!

I’m in a similar boat with my own outline, trying to reign in an ongoing Webnovel to fit 3 act structured pacing is soul crushing in some ways.

Don't think this review needs a spoiler tag... just tiny spoilers when it gets to plot holes... The story is pretty refreshing, has good character design and lots of detail. Honestly I enjoyed most of the reading, and I understand that since the MC is young and has shining traits most people would think he's a girl, the comedy was nice at first, but then it stops being funny. I guess this story just isn't my cup of tea. Though I don't necessarily dislike stories that focus on MC's young age (under 10) for a lot of chapters, here the mc feels too mature for his age (and a lot of people around his age are too mature as well). He is neither reincarnated nor has any legacy or 'grandpa' figure in the story which makes me feel that him being mature at 5 is forced by the author. And the way other girls talk about marriage when they also are just a few years above him doesn't feel well. A time skip when MC is so young would be much better imo, but hey, people have different tastes. MC also gets dragged around a lot, and from what I see, he always complains instead of taking action. Gets mad at everyone for treating him as a girl but does nothing about his looks. Complains about his long hair but doesn't cut it. There's a few plot holes, but nothing too major, such as a 20 year old beast having little magical achievements, then suddenly once mc starts 'cultivating' the beast matches his own cultivation rate. MC is praised as a genius by his teachers since he is so young yet has such a high level (for his age), but kids a few years older are much stronger then him even though they aren't geniuses or anywhere close. MC has a lot of elements which is like never seen kind of super-rare, yet can't beat someone a few level stronger than him (but in the same realm). I'll be dropping this here, but hey, if you enjoy stories with a lot of focus on when mc is young go for it. It's also much better than any fast-food stories you find. Though this doesn't feel like a 4.5 star for me, at the very least its way better than most 4 star stories on this website since too much 5 star spam happens.

Level 1 to Infinity: My Bloodline Is the Ultimate Cheat!

They shattered his life. Now, he’ll break the world. Ethan had it all, until his best friend and the woman he loved betrayed him, leaving him crippled and forgotten. Three years of suffering later, he clawed his way to one final, desperate act… and the universe answered. A hidden quest. A second chance. A return to the moment everything began. Now, Ethan is back, on the eve of Ethereal’s launch, the world’s first fully immersive VR game and the battlefield where legends are forged. Last time, he played fair. This time? He’s armed with years of knowledge: every exploit, every secret quest, every broken mechanic that will let him climb straight to the top. But when he logs in, something is off. The system forces him into an unwanted class—Druid, the game’s biggest joke. The kind of class people pick as a dare and regret immediately. Yet as Ethan digs deeper, the truth shakes him. [Congratulations! You have unlocked the Divine Bloodline: King of Elves!] Ethan stared at the screen, unblinking. “…The hell?” The Druid class was a jack-of-all-trades, master of none—a scattered mess of abilities that mimicked other classes but never truly excelled. Their bear form lacked the raw defense of a proper tank. Their panther form was weaker than a rogue. Their healing fell short of a priest, and their magic couldn’t compare to a mage’s devastating spells. Most players abandoned the class early, realizing they could never compete at the highest level. And yet, Ethan’s stats are off the charts. His talents are absurd. His potential is beyond anything he’s ever seen. The system has given him something no other Druid ever had—a divine bloodline, legendary abilities, and a growth rate that defies logic. If Druids were meant to be weak, then Ethan was the exception that would rewrite history. He’s not just here to reclaim his throne. He’s here to take everything. Factions will rise. Empires will fall. The strongest will thrive, and the weak will perish. And the ones who betrayed him? They won’t live to do it again.

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3\ ... After writing over 750 chapters, here’s what you should know: 1. About the beginning: The early chapters are a bit rough. It was my first original novel, and I stumbled in some areas, especially with the MC's attitude. He's too reserved and occasionally too "simpy" with the first female lead. However, the MC grows into a confident, powerful, and composed figure. No long-term cringe. He becomes the kind of MC you want to root for. 2. Quinlan’s morality: He’s not a cruel, sadistic villain. Most of the time, he won't even be acting like a real villain, only when pushed to the limit. Meaning he won't torture puppies or civilians for fun while cackling manically. However, he’s greedy, shameless, and opportunistic. If the lives of his loved ones are at stake and he can only save them by burning a city with innocents inside down, he’ll do it. He's ruthless toward strangers when necessary, but doesn't delight in cruelty. 3. Regarding slaves: Yes, Quinlan becomes a slave master. However, he treats all his women—free or enslaved—with care and respect. 4. More than smut: Every love interest has a real story, a real presence. No girl will be left behind. As of Chapter 750, Quinlan has 7 lovers and a few more "in-development" love interests. This is not a "catch them all" story, adding one girl every 20 chapters. I prefer harems made up of girls with richly developed characters over giant harems full of shallow ladies. Quality over Quantity. 5. Balanced storytelling: My aim was to create a work where romance, action, and slice-of-life blend together naturally. There’s high-stakes action, power progression, romantic developments, comedy, and some chill downtime to let both the characters and the readers breathe. 6. Weak-to-Strong Progression: Quinlan will become OP. But he rises slowly, not overnight. His journey will hopefully feel earned. 7. Not every female character listed in the fandom is a love interest: Some women are important to the plot but are not part of the harem or a planned to be, such as his two mothers. 8. No Yuri. No NTR. That's it, thank you for taking your chance on my novel! I'll make a promise to you, showing how much I believe you'll love the novel if you get over the somewhat bumpy beginning! If you read 750 chapters and hate the story even after investing so much time into it, then you may burn me alive!
