Story is about a crafter but his power doesn't come from crafting but from magic he learns from some master after he wakes up. The crafting isn't exciting or interesting. The author just say "he crafted x,y potion and sold them". He was supposed to come from a game but there is no LITRPG elements, no mana, status or anything. There aren't even levels and no explanation is given on why he can't won't learn higher level spells or why one spell is stronger than the other. Even though his avatar was a low level smurf, aparently he has equiped legendary equipment on it? Who does that? Aren't there level requirements? MC had supreme mage avatar in a game though luck? Makes no sense just like the rest of the story. He is the overpowered biggest dikus major laser supaman hero only because he is the MC and that's it, who cares about logic in storytelling. A crafter that doesn't get stronger with his items but by learning spells and blasting everyone that offends him. The crafting is just an excuse to make money and fame fast. He kills manticores, wyverns and other strong beast in one spell at the first chapters, even though he only has level 1 spells, just because the author said so, and his real enemy when he gets to a city is... you guessed it, a **** for brains YOUNG MASTER! (that later decided to kill him with the whole backing of his family because some girl rejected him) This is a copy and paste wuxia novel, poorly written and with so much faulty and cringy worldbuilding. The author has no idea how games work nor how to properly set a western/game-like magical system. This is terrible!

As usual, I read to chapter 10 to get a feel of the fic before writing a review. Author is at least honest about where this story is heading with the chapter 1 face slapping, I appreciate that, that's why I continued instead of dropping it immediately. Typical mary sue character in a typical trashy xianxia plot; a typical author's self indulgent fic. I also didn't know otakus are so OP irl. Can talk smoothly to girls/people, "manly aura", adapting to new world instantly, can start slaughtering monsters 1 month in, cold calm and collected in intense fight after 3 months. Word choice from either author or translators are weird. Don't use obscure/difficult words if readers have to check dictionaries for their meaning, and stop using words with negative connotations to make characters seem "cool", it just comes off like a 14 year old wannabe edgelord. After the whole psychopath thing, all I can see here is the next coming of Ted Bundy. He gets to talk to a pretty girl a few chapters later, and you know he's going to start collecting those Barbie dolls eventually. There are always morals that are highly suspect with these type of fics, that in turn makes me doubt the author themselves. Main point is usually the way they treat other people, it's ****ty and insidious. Then they create excuses to minimize the consequences, sometimes even forgoing that and just bleaching themselves white. Nothing organic about the interactions at all, no different than robots trying to emulate human. Like all other badly written self indulgent fic that will get you nowhere, it's never going past 2 stars for me.

If you have never read a typical Chinese trashy story, this novel might be an eye opener for you. The world background is poor. The characters are one dimensional. Girls are non existent, just pretty trophies that are bound to fall for the MC. Warning about Sexist content. Young masters and their stupid clans will antagonize the MC for lame reasons only to get humiliated and destroyed. The plots are not well planed, instead they revolve around the same bad guy archetype that appear out of nowhere, ask to be slapped in the face then disappear while the MC is depicted as bad-ass. Since this story seems to be built with crafting and game element in mind, you would expect something from it. No. The MC is OP from the start without real need for items to boost his strength so if he ever craft some OP items, it will just go from Easy difficulty setting to super easy. Worse, the ingredients, i mean the super rare type/impossible to find, are now appearing out of thin air in front of the MC. To sum it up, in just 22 chapters this story has already laid solid foundation for a totally garbage story that have no real goal but to use the same boring setting again and again. And, of course, the MC personality is garbage as well but described as super cool by the author. He is a complete moron that never stop to think but is described as a genius. The illusion might work because all the bad guy are dumb to the extreme. The game system part is fake, this is just another typical piece of junk that Chinese seems to love.

Shocked voices could be heard from the people and there was some which were also filled with scorn. Grey stood dazed amidst all the noises without any reactions. One word was constantly reverberating in his head, 'How?'. 'Why, why did this happen to me?' Grey asked himself over and over again **************** Unbeknownst to Grey, something greater lies in wait in his body.... *************** Check out the book, leave a review after reading, and also your powerstones. Hope you enjoy this, and Thanks for reading ^_^ P.S: When I started this book I had zero writing experience, so the first chapters aren't that great, although, my writing quality has improved over time. Also, English isn't my first language, so there are some instances where my choice of words are not good enough for what I'm trying to portray. A heads up, the book will be using a medieval setting. My world building is not the best, but it gets better over time, so bear with me on the early chapters! P.S: Cover art not mine I just edited it.

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 Receive bonus chapters by supporting on Patreon (patreon.com/NecroBin). ... Disclaimer: I'd received a few complaints from some readers that my MC is not a real villain, and I have to agree; if you're looking for some complete psycho MC who burns random farmer villages down just for fun then don't read. The MC is a ruthless man who does evil things from time to time, but only to his enemies or those he considers to be true scum. He gains no joy from tormenting strangers. Also don't read if you want a story about buying s*x slaves and r*ping them, that doesn't happen in this novel. He will treat the women he wants to be with as if they were normal people, whether they're slaves or not.
