I don't really hate this story, but let's be honest. The writing is at the level of a 12-year-old kid who decided to write a story of his own. In fact, I bet that many 12-year-olds would do a better job. The beginning and the premise are completely copied from a Korean novel with a similar name. The main character is one-dimensional while the side characters are ZERO-dimensional. This story and system are so simple that even someone with a 70 IQ would understand it easily. There are plot holes starting from the first chapter. There the MC said something like "I hope that I'll awaken a useful ability"... But in fact, in this world, there are no abilities to awaken, lol. If you aren't facepalming at most of his decisions then let me congratulate you - you've passed this IQ test with 80 points! Yay! So why is this popular? I think that this story, Vampire System, and Cultivation Online show you what you need to succeed at Webnovel. Op protagonist, a fast pace so that he could show off how OP he is, fast release rate so that people could get addicted to your story. That's it. Other people waste their words by trying to write a story that makes sense, the only one who managed to get to the top with such an approach is the author of Supreme Magus.

LIKEAgreed, and with Supreme Magus, that author is just beating a horse for money that died somewhere between chapter 1700-2200 (for me at least.) The novels in the top 3 are NEVER going to end, even while they're releasing 22 chapters a week, when a year or two ago the fastest releases were 14 chapters a week. There's no way at all that these authors are putting much thought into the plot of their novels and are only focusing on filling and padding two tiny chapters for the day. I'd rather 3–5 chapters a week than 22 chapters a week of slop chapters that take you less than a minute to read.
