Quality light novel ruined by a poor translator. The person seems to directly translate: conjunctions and punctuation included. This results in many awkward sentences with commas that make them grammatically incorrect.

I concur. As a fellow who is fluent in Korean, most of the translation is good, but the translator tried too hard to keep the translation as accurate as possible. Most fan-translators would use an interpretation of the novel as their translation and avoid unneeded detail and keep it from being too wordy, but it seems Qidian's translator wanted to stay true to the original novel as much as possible without care or thought for whether the translation makes any sense to the readers or not.

I don't get people who do this. It's like they're trying to be only marginally better than MTL.

In essence it's pretty much equivalent to machine translated novels. I believe that keeping certain nouns/pronouns in the romanized form would be sufficient to keep the feeling intact.

It's like they're punching the text in to google translate, than trying to pass it off as a "quality translation"

I found a page I have only raised the level. It is translated into Spanish, it goes through chapter 201 = 20100 (if it is in Spanish, but you help yourself with the translator), those who are desperate and want to move forward can visit here: https: //ouo.io/ifeGWA Not only that, since it also has MGA Until chapter 3686 to Spanish on that same page.

Perhaps the dullest level-up game system novel I have read out of dozens, there's absolutely nothing here you haven't read before if you've read half a dozen in the genre. To be frank, I read the first forty chapters a couple of days ago, and I could not remember the plot until I opened it to refresh myself. The MC's personality is wildly inconsistent and he keeps doing dumb things that plot armor saves him from. For example, he gets a key to open up an S-rank dungeon, thinks to himself, "only a team of S-ranks can clear S-rank dungeons", then goes in and almost dies to the first monster and only doesn't by sheer and utter luck that it's in the only class of monster he gets a buff against. His system has an automatic growth cheat, which is a big problem, because he gets stronger every day with minimal effort... but he still goes off an risks his life for no reason at all, because he has no unusual motivation to do anything. He's almost died half a dozen times in the first 30 chapters, and there's no reason for him to, because he literally gets stronger every single day, and again, he has zero motivation for risking his life. Also, literally every other person he runs into is a villain out to kill people. This is absurd, because they essentially live in a near-future S. Korea and society and the superhumans are supposed to be well-regulated. He's spent his entire life being a bottom-rank loser and hasn't died, yet as soon as he gets super-powers all of a sudden everyone he runs into is trying to murder people. It all feels like a barely coherent freshman author attempt in an over-saturated genre, and I just can't understand why this story is rated highly at all.
