Review Detail of AkinomaHNU in Martial Arts Overlord

Review detail

AkinomaHNU

37 seven chapters in and I can't stand reading this anymore. 1. Translation quality can be so much better. It's not horrible or anything but the constant misuse of the word "apprehension", inconsistency in how "刀" is translated (translator(s) already decided on using "saber" so stick with it!!! Why do you have to keep using "blade" and "sword" when mentioning what type of weapon "Tiger Essence Blade" is? It's established right at the start that it's a Saber so call it a saber!), and a few other pet peeves in how they use other words outside of proper context really irks me. And I appreciate the TLs efforts in how they correct possible typos made by the author but if they don't have to say that every single time they do. I see footnotes of (non-verbatim) "Author probaly made a typo here, edited for context" every few chapters. I have never read the raws so I don't know what the typos are nor do I care. Telling us that there are typos there without an explanation as to what the typo even is pointless. If you really do want to mention it, at least explain what the typo is! 2. I read this when it was on trial reading. Update stability isn't important yet. 3. So far, there's not much to go by in terms of story development. At least not yet as far as I know. It's just the standard transmigration story of the MC who suddenly turns OP after a little bit of training because he wants revenge for the original owner of the body because original owner died from getting rejected by his love interest. 4. Character design wise... Most, if not all, of them either are stupid, arrogant, or both. The characters pretend to be smart but are just petty little brats that are even dumber and pettier than the average 10 year old. There's a good bit of inconsistency between the "image/description" of the characters and how said characters act. Honestly, even most of the instructors are pretty dumb and don't understand the word "discipline". One instructor even tried to PUBLICLY frame (without even trying to properly prepare the "ingredients" of the evidence -- let alone cook it.) and then kill the MC right in front of the whole school right when the first round of a competition ended. All other instructors just watched it happen without intervening until AFTER multiple blows were traded and that over biased instructor and the MC finished their spitfighting. The head(?) instructor was even worse. He only stepped in to stop the fight after the instructor assigned to MC's class spat blood and the over biased instructor almost killed the MC. 5. Since it's still pretty early on in the story and that the MC mainly stays up in the mountain or in his courtyard to train, having a lack of world building is still excusable. TL;DR: It gave me too much of a headache and just leaves me with feeling too much negativity and anger so I gave up.
