Review Detail of Spelloyal in Supremacy Games
Review detail
First, I'm sorry for the bad English, I wrote my review with the google translator. Starting with what has bothered me most so far in this novel: I understand that the author has to earn money, but the story of the novel (the supremacy games) only starts in volume 3 which is where the blocked chapters begin, before that it is only the mc making money, starting the cultivation and explanations of how to society works in virtual reality. So it is only possible to know if you like the novel or not after starting to pay for the chapters of volume 3. It makes me wonder if the author is not a good scammer like his MC. Unlike what the author says in the synopsis, the world background is not at all complex, it just seems to be due to the author retaining for a long time information that should be common sense for the characters in the novel, such as the reason why players die in the real world. if they die during games and how cultivation works. For a long time it is even confusing whether they die in the real world or not when they die in games and to my surprise this is answered in a single line around chapters 60-70 when there was no problem explaining this in chapters 10 or 20. Another problem is that it is not only volume 1 that is dedicated to the world background, in fact volume 1 is dedicated to the development of the mc hotel while volume 2 is focused on how virtual reality works and only in volume 3 the story really begins and the reader begins to understand how supremacy games work, if the reader pays for the chapters. By the way, the way the game is decided is very stupid, the player cannot even choose the game mode and depends on luck to fall into a deadly battle game with a 0.2% chance of surviving or a culinary competition. With that, moving up depends basically on the luck of falling consecutively in games that the player is good or not. To make matters worse it is only possible to play once every two months so most players should spend their lives in bronze for pure bad luck of falling in games they do not know. More stupid than supremacy games is the development of human cultivation. Cultivation itself is not a problem and is actually quite reasonable, stupid is how the new kingdoms were discovered. The author made it very clear from the beginning of the novel that the method of cultivation does not depend on understanding natural laws and the like, but only injecting a lineage into itself and not dying during the merger. So it shouldn't have taken hundreds of thousands of years for one of the infinite humans in the galaxy to find out that all you have to do is merge a skill with its 1% human blood and then change the lineage to that of a stronger beast. To make matters worse, it was not even scientists who discovered this, but some genius who was the only person to risk his life trying something like this in a million years. Finally, this novel is not completely bad and has a lot of potential, but I will never know if supremacy games are interesting or not, because with the current dollar value in this pandemic, I have no way of risking my few savings on novels with so many problems before the story really starts. Again sorry for any mistake, I used the google translator to do this review.

1) Most authors are recommended to lock their chapters in volume two that would be around 40 chapters to 60 chapters. I had the contract and decision in my hand way before that and still delayed to lock chapters until chapter 89. I thought I wouldn't be hearing complaints about it since most novels have premium active at 40 to 60 but I guess not. 2) The first volume was a mix of hotel development and world-building to not bore the readers. I didn't want to keep putting info dumps in 8 chapters on a row just to get rid of it. That's a horrible thing to do and will kill the novel before it even began. PLUS, the only reason Felix obtained the AP bracelet earlier than everyone was due to this extensive Hotel Development, so stop ranting out of context, please. If it wasn't for the AP bracelet, Felix wouldn't be able to enter UVR so soon and instead of reading about it, you will reading about Felix spending 6 months in the camp to secure the AP bracelet as the last reward of the battles. 3) I thought of it long before making the decision of choosing the games randomly. But what you never mentioned was the fact that the MC was preferring battle format. If I let the players choose what kind of format they wanted, the MC would be choosing only battle format games, ignoring the rest. It was only a logical decision. However! This meant all of the game about the MC WIll about battle formats, then what's the point of having other formats if I will be forced to just write about one format? In the end of the day, web novels are for entertainment and the readers want to read about other games and see the MC in races, sports, puzzles, and such. Not just battle format, battle format, battle format. This sense of randomness and mystery is also good as the readers will never know what kind of format or game he will be placed in. 4) I explicitly wrote over and over and over again that the 1% human bloodline shouldn't be touched or have anything to do with beasts' bloodline as that is everything to a human. Messing with it will only have one end, and that was turning into the same beast for a short period before melting or exploding. This was of course going to keep most humans away! In what world do you live in for someone to tell you that if you put ur hand in a fire you will be burned, but you will go for it just to see for yourself??! Mariana was fearless and genius for successfully etching one ability in her 1% bloodline without getting killed in the process. I said she is genius because the process that she used was smart. I have yet to show the process of etching an ability since I wanted to show it on the MC, not just dump it with the rest of the information. In the end chapter 7 was just to give an overview on the human bloodline system, and I keep writing and writing in notes that it is not explained on its entirely and I don't want to overwhelm the readers with everything at once. If I probably went I did you will be ranting about it as well. 5) The novel is called supremacy games, so you should at least read one game and come back for another review that is about the games. Feedback is always appreciated. <3
this is just my opinion and nobody needs to agree with it, let it be clear that I never intended to offend the author, but I still disagree with him. 1) The problem here is not whether the chapters are blocked in chapter 10 or 1000, but whether the free chapters are a good sample of the novel or not and demonstrate what differentiates the novel from the others. The free chapters of your novel are a good prologue, but they show almost nothing about the main point of the novel, the supremacy games. 2) The first volume was not bad, certainly the hotel management was important to win the AP bracelet, it could have been won in other ways without spending an entire volume on it, but I admit it was interesting to read. However volume 1 was certainly not for the development of the world, but development of the hotel. 3) If I had known before that this was the reason the games were random, I would have taken out another star. Even though mc is the main character, the universe cannot revolve around him. You spent so much time reinforcing that Supremacy Games have existed for millions of years and there are no flaws in them, even so you just made the basis of your universe so with random games for the story not to be boring because the MC prefers combat games. Instead of solving the problem in a more reasonable way such as giving reasons to the mc to choose other games, or giving something like the option to be able to choose the type of game once every two months and play a random game every month the author it simply changed the entire universe to suit the MC and did it the easiest way instead of looking for a more reasonable method. 4) On this I will partially agree with you, if the process is not easy and involves complicated technologies for the time it was discovered, it makes sense to take a while to find out. But I don't think it's reasonable for Marian to be the only one to try, after all, there are many reasons to take risks, such as someone being at the end of their life time, being desperate for power, someone desperate for money being paid for tests, someone just being forced to be used in experiments and etc. According to his novel there is a huge number of people in the galaxy and it does not make sense to take that long for someone to try this when they are desperate and at war with another race. 5) Maybe I will do this when I accumulate some fast pass, but I am not willing to buy coins before I know if I like the games or not. Since supremacy games are apparently the most important part of the novel, it makes no sense to read the novel if you don't like the games.

1) Bro 89 chapters, 160k words, 16h of reading continuously to finish. That's not a free sample to let you know whether the book was good, or is it for you or not. Readers decide whether they liked the novel around chapter 10 and if they are willing to continue reading or not. If you managed to read up to 89 chapters and was still indecisive about the novel, I have nothing to add to that. 2) You keep writing that I shouldn't have spent an entire volume on hotel development. The volume size was 30 chapters. Remove 12 chapters, that are on world-building, and totally unrelated matters to the hotel. You get 18 chapters for hotel developments that only due to it, that Felix managed to get the AP Bracelet, which in turn helped speed up the plot. Was that still too much? That's an amount of a mini ark in most novels. For getting an AP bracelet prize that early in the planet, It was perfect for it. 3) Unless you read the three games that I wrote and see how the formats are actually played out instead of imagining them on your mind, I won't be arguing with you on this point. 4) this is not your typical novel, where one desperate for death can just scream due to emotions and suddenly break-through to the next stage automatically. I keep stressing out that Maria was a prodigy and a genius for coming up with a unique way of breaking the bloodline shackles. When I said the genius, I didn't mean by being a young child with comprehension or such you see in cultivation novels. I meant with it that she had an extremely high IQ. You should have figured it out by yourself after understanding that my novel cultivation system doesn't rely on comprehension or such. In addition, I didn't type the method she used as that is going to be a spoiler and I am planning on showing when Felix tries to etch an ability. When you see the uniqueness, you will understand why she was respected. 5) I am not going to rush the novel and ruin the storyline just to reduce some chapters and make the first game accessible earlier, and I am not going to delay locking premium from 60 chapters when I received the contract to 103 (around the first game ends). Even if I accept it, my content editor won't. If you read up to the locked chapters, spending 16h of your life on my novel, and still hesitate to even use free passes to read the first game, which was just ten chapters (10 free passes), then please don't pinpoint that problem on me or call me a scammer. I am not trying to scam any one of their money, and If I was writing mostly for money and your coins, I would have locked at 60 chapters instantly without consideration. And the readers who loved what they read would still be unlocking chapters from 60 without making a single complaint. Yet, when I try to act generously with my readers and try my best to bring them as close as possible to the first game without paying a single cent, I get called a scammer. Thank you for the feedback and I will be closing this argument. Have a nice day and best of luck in your future reads.
