I'll start off by saying that I only read 5 of the 40 chapters. So take this review with a grain of salt. For all I know, this becomes a good story later on. The premise is what drove me to read this in the first place. But the constant mentioning of his double degree, the cliches (specifically the needlessly antagonistic characters, the stone ring, etc), and the part saying how the thunder damaged the TVs, phones, and routers tilted me. The last one could've been a translation issue and not an issue on the author's part (which some will say is me being nitpicky, but translation issues spell disaster for anything translated and if it was the author's mistake then I run the risk of being annoyed later on). Not to mention the two reviews I read from R00ks and Reading_immortal. But all of those things were enough for me to drop it at this point in time. Maybe I'm being overly critical due to the last few stories I reread being great (Throne of Magical Arcana and Lord of the Mysteries). Don't get me wrong though, this story will appeal to some people and might actually be a good casual read. But I don't have enough time in the day to read stories that I have a good likelihood to drop in the future. If anyone wants my rationale on my 3 star rating. It's not bad enough to be a 1 (a writing abomination), not great enough to be a 5 (a writing masterpiece). It doesn't compare to stories I would personally rate a 4. And the premise alone gives it another star in my opinion, hence a 3.

LIKEAnd for those who would say that I didn't give the story a chance since I didn't read all 40 chapters. You're completely right. This is only a hobby for me though. I have no obligation to read all 40 chapters of a story if it turns me off within 5, nor would I want to spend coins to give it a fair shot.
you should see the comment i left in chap.6, it should match your thoughts
The story picked itself up at the later chaps... well tis a catch
