Review Detail of Crimson_Assassin in Unsealing Emptiness

For reference, I believe I am on chapter 74 right now, so whenever I say recently, I mean recent to this chapter. While there are 94 chapter up right now, I’m dropping it for reasons stated in this review. Writing Quality: 4/5, if I was able to give half stars i would give this a 3.5, but I can’t so it gets 4. Anway, there is a significant amount grammar mistakes, bad sentence structure, sentences that don’t make sense, and some random POV switches. Really, I would give this 3 stars but I commented most of the time when I saw grammar mistakes and the author fixed them. Also, there are an annoying amount of exclamation marks, even for the most mundane things. MC walked to the store! MC drank some water! Yada yada... Finally, there are some situations which just dont make sense, for example, someone extends their arm and it gets cut off, and blood splashes on their face, or an 8 meter tall monster hits MC from 20 meters away. Overall, it could be better, but it’s not so bad to the point that it ruins the novel. Author if you read this, please just reread your chapters when you finish writing them and the majority of your mistakes can be fixed. Updating Stability: 4/5, 7 chapters a week is a little above average but the main reason I give 4 stars is that the chapters have extremely varied lengths, where some chapters have double or triple the length of others, and I’ve seen the author write in notes that they won’t be able to update for a few days sometimes. Overall, pretty good. Story Development: 2/5, now this is one of the biggest disappointments in this novel. From chapter 55ish to 70 could be summed up with a single sentence yet was drawn out to the point that I actually considered dropping the novel. In the beginning chapters I was impressed as it seemed like author would be going against cliches since there were smart nobles and not so evil bandits, however it seems that the author has regressed for whatever reason and is now putting in the generic arrogant nobles and random evil bandits in. Also, just recently the author put in the generic “infinite worlds and they are in the weakest one” just like in a xianxia where the MC starts from the smallest ****tiest continent and works to the mainland. Again, in the beginning I had high hopes for this as MC started out in the mainland of the world he was born in. Maybe author really is regressing because he has to keep up with his 7 chapters a week? Overall, the novel just gets more disappointing the longer I read. Character Design: 2/5, same as before, it started out extremely promising, with MC being stoic and lazy, as the tags say. However, once again, I get disappointed. MC was taken in by somebody and spent 4 years of his life with her, with the author showing many times that he really cares for her, even to the point of limiting his growth, yet when she eventually dies, what is his reaction? Absolutely nothing. He does nothing. The side characters are very one dimensional, so much so that I can sum up both of them with the same single sentence: They care about nothing except their master(MC). Not much to say about them except I don’t care about them at all and hope they die so I don’t have to waste my time reading about their worthless reactions. Also, author has several plotholes regarding the strength of MC. This includes when author mentioned that MC can control the Ball of Purity to the point where an ordinary person can’t see it, and then contradicted himself and apparently even to the chapter I have read up to he still can’t do that. And while this next one isn’t truly significant, it’s still irritating. So it was said before that MC can control his Ball of Purity 10 meters away from his body, and recently he got a huge power up, and can control it.... 9 meters away from his body! Anyway, it’s kind of annoying how author creates plotholes when he desperately tries to nerf MC. Oh yeah and when MC was fighting the monster in recent chapters, author just basically said “MC has a headache so he makes retarded decisions” which was really frustrating to read. Finally, there is 0 character growth for MC. This can be seen when his caretaker dies and he doesn’t give a ****. Overall, pretty disappointing. World Background: 3/5, so really we know very little. All we really know is that he is in a pretty big kingdom in the mainland of his world, and we just recently learned that there are many stronger worlds(which as I already said, I severely disapprove of). The magic system is pretty basic, just absorb Mana and become stronger, infuse Mana and become physically stronger. Also, in the beginning, there were no set systems, and it seems like the author just adds stuff whenever he thinks of it, for example how mages gain strength, the addition of layers of cores, and very recently, the stages in each rank, and as that it something whIch should be mentioned in the beginning, it led me to my previous conclusion. Overall, nothing too great, but not too bad. Author: 5/5, I know this isn’t a category I can actually rate, but I figured I’d make my own since it’s pretty important. Author is very responsive and fixes the majority of mistakes pointed out to him, and is generally nice to his readers, so that’s a plus. TL;DR: I’d give this novel a shot, and if author reads this review and takes constructive criticism, then the rating would absolutely improve. **: This is definitely the longest review I’ve ever written, at 5485 characters.
