I have read this until chapter 160, and to be honest, i kinda dont want to continue further. See, this book author is quite a genius imo, he can drag 2-4 chapters just to explain something. Sometimes the xplanation can be important like xplaining the fey ecosystem and ability, sometimes unimportant like how writing mc's account book how much he spend and gain every penny, and sometimes can be totally useless.like copy-pasting the same fey abilities again and again with just 1 (ONE) skill addition. A good way to fulfill your release and word quotas i guess, good for him, but not really good for me, i mostly scroll all the way every xplanation chapters and totally not missing anything important. Filler chapter is still better than this kind of chapter, at least it's more entertaining. And because of this too, the plot become slow and sometimes stagnant, it's like 3/4 xplanation and 1/4 story. Crazy right? i know. And imo the plot is getting inconsistent over time. Like, at first mc does not want to attract attention cuz he's weak, he got no backing, all that nonsense. But he stronkly pushing his sister to the front row with "my sister is awsum so she must attract attention" logic. I kinda wish his sister got killed off screen and he regret his decision in the future to be honest because of his braindead action. Also mc made a promise to trading agreement with a web shop at the beginning, saying he's not an ungrateful person who pay other's kindness, but until chapter 160 that matter never comes to surface again. Well maybe becuz mc already rich guy now so he thinks it's alright to forget his promise, and thus he become the ungrateful bastard himself. His first retainer which he promised to heal also never appear again after he told him to find a big shop in the capital. Maybe he retired and decide to donate his insect queen to mc off screen lmao. That's my opininon, go read it if you like this kind of writing. I'm not here to judge you.

HUGE INFODUMPS! And author constantly repeats the same thing OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. Also, one chapter he introduces a new rule of this book, later he will break this rule. Let me put it this way. The normal conversation in this novel goes like this, Mc says something. The person mc is talking to replies with unfamiliar terminology. Author takes 3 paragraphs to explain. The mc replies with unknown terminology again. Author explains using 3 paragraph again. Every conversation is a tool for the author to dump huuuuge info that will probably never be mentioned again. 30 chapters in and VERY LITTLE has actually happened. But boy oh boy you probably know about half of all technical details on how fey, fey grades, fey characteristics, various companies, tools, fey cultivation plans used in this book's universe. Also, to the review that said no system, that is true. But the mc has a huge all encompassing cheat when it comes to feys. Not a bad thing per say but just mentioning. Dialogue is VERY dry because of the constant info dumps in them. So i s the exposition. And whenever any character in this story is feeling something, like happiness or anger, the author explains exactly why that character is feeling that, why the mc mad them feel like that, what the mc thinks about that character, etcetc you get my point. I mean the readers aren't dumb. the author doesn't have to explain why the mc's sister is feeling happy when the mc got her a good fey. But the author does, line by line, breaking down what she was feeling. Also, in this world it is apparently really hard for people to train something called 'runes'. But the mc just has to look in a certain random direction and recite poems. Then boom, new rune. Author said only contractors can choose skills for fey, but a few chapters later we see people choosing skill for fey not contracted to them. Author spends HUGE TIME explaining how things work, but when executing them in the book he literally throws all that out of the window and lets the characters break every rule he established. Oh and don't get me started with FEYS. Random fey appears, author takes a chapter to explain all the characteristics of that fey. Like he does that for almost every fey. Even the ones not related to mc or any major character. This is not a novel, it is one GIANT INFO DUMP or MONSTER ENCYCLOPEDIA. Not recommended.
