Translation quality - it's good. A few typos here and there but meh. Stability of updates - well it's a trial read and not a chosen novel sooooo story development - Doesn't seem to have much of a story tbh. The power scaling sucks, there isn't really any end goal or drive. Not only that but the mc practically relies on borrowed power the entire novel. The mcs of the worlds he goes to suddenly have cliched 'halo effects' that make them immune to the mc trying to hurt them. For example the mc tried to have the mc of the 'edge of tomorrow' film get injured so he'd get a blood transfusion so the mc could proceed with his plan, but somehow some bs would always happen that stops this. The car flips over, the machinery breaks down, a gust of wind. It was all very forced. Not only that but the author never describes his process of becoming stronger in terms of stats. It seems he just trains by running around? He goes to different worlds gets missions and does stuff but from what's been stated it seems his main mission worlds only give him dimensional points to buy soul stones which brings us back to the whole borrowed power thing. He apparently can take 1 of the skills from the soul stone once it's used up but at the end of the day it's still borrowed power. Character design - I honestly can't remember anything that sticks out about any character and I've literally just stopped reading. World Background - The mc takes over the body of someone who is supposedly an exposed cultist. The mc deals with this pretty quickly and ends up joining the organisation that was hunting him down because they don't know he's the same person. We're quickly introduced to various countries and organisations that have no substance to them. It seems we have a camp of chaos for no other reason than they like chaos, a camp of order cos well humans like order, and a camp of edgy teens that want everyone to die for no other reason than they get it up for death. The world lacks substance and the power scaling is extremely bad. TLDR: - mc relies on borrowed power - poor world background (has no substance) - there's no goal or end game - the author skims over the worlds a lot it's very barebones - characters aren't memorable - cliched halo effects P.S. People keep comparing it to custom made demon king but that's an insult to that novel. I don't think I'm missing anything from this tldr but if I did the rest of the review should speak for itself.

Ah there's something I forgot to include. It seems the author is unable to decide on which side of things to focus on. the normal world he lives in or the worlds he hops to. I believe this is why we end up in a situation where both the worlds he goes to and the main world have no real plot or substance.
