Review Detail of LightningCatThief in Forging The Path To Godliness
Review detail
This novel is bad, not because the writing, the grammar or even the world background. The MC is way too OP, but that can be a feature, the system rewards and weapon stats are stupidly simple, mostly because it is a linear increase. The MC has no reason to increase his skill or produce more powerfull weapons. He could literally mass produce the most inferior kind and grow faster than he does in the story. You might be used to these kinds of errors in web novels and you would be right to argue that a good story can stand above such trivialities. You might even be right. The problem is, this story has one of the worst character designs I have ever seen, even some harem novels have side characters with better design. I am used to the usual Goddess with amazing talent, skill, wealth etc. falling in love with the seemingly useless trash MC. It is badly done here, but alright. The catastrophe starts with the fact that the MC sleeps with her, fights the major forces of his hometown for her, risks himself and his masters/adoptive fathers smithy, supports her clan and then decides to leave her behind. It is not like he is in danger, needs something to grow stronger or a friend or family member is in danger. He just doesn't seem to care anymore, he literally wasted 3 years trying to forge, but after his first success at making a 3 tier weapon he loses interest. His love, his masters legacy , the war inside the city just do not matter anymore. It is not like he is a pervert, scumbag or an evil character. He is just flat. The author decided the MC needed to change character and wasn't interested in making up a reason. The other characters are also flat and inconsequential, so it is not like there is anything to look forward to. 2nd of 5 new novels that is trash.

I have read the chapter, the abilities he gains depend on the weapon, the weapon depends on the material. It does not matter what grade the weapon is to gain the skill. Only the amount of elements he gains each time depends on the grade of the weapon. Example: He gains his two skills from a 2nd grade and a 3rd grade weapon made with special materials. Both skills are treated equally which proves that the skill gained does not depend on the grade of the weapon. According to the novel it is very hard to create high tier weapons, while high grade material can be used in lower grade weapons. Which means it is more effective to mass produce low grade weapons.
Mute:I'm on chapter 11 and so far he has an incentive to create higher tier weapons, he gets more and different elements and also some strength while basic weapons are useless for him now.
The fact that the author had to fix this error in later chapters shows just how bad he/she plans his/her books. I am interested to know if there are also fixes/patches to correct the MCs motivation and character. Regardless this novel is clearly a patchwork of half though trough ideas with bad character design
Mute:Got to chapter 18 now, he is getting less points for stage 2 weapons now which shows that as he gains strength he needs to smith higher grade weapons/armor.
LightningCatThief:The fact that the author had to fix this error in later chapters shows just how bad he/she plans his/her books. I am interested to know if there are also fixes/patches to correct the MCs motivation and character.
