Review Detail of LightningCatThief in Desolate World: Starting with [Selection Option]

Caution do not hype before release. Don't pre-order my friends. This novel is lika trailer. We haven't seen anything of the world this story will take place in. 40 Chapters only covers the trial period where the MC Gaines his cheat and subsequently builds up his advantages, we know nothing about the world, everything is very mysterious and of course the first contact with humans is negative, like there would ever be positive interaction without a crisis to force people to work together. It is not like there are other races which would gladly prey on the human race. Honestly the last few chapters where a major disappointment, first the MC is to quiet and acquiescent in dealing with simple humans who don't pose a threat, without even trying to gather information. It is like he foresaw what would happen but instead of using it, he ridiculed the opposition. This is especially jarring after he used his smarts and developed a very aggressive personality during the trials in the beginning. Even worse the author created a 'I am a bug, need to devour others to evolve' multi chapter sequence witch will probably never be mentioned again and only serves to give the MC abilities to progree the plot. This is a sign of bad planning and a wrong focus in pacing, which if I think back to the first challenge and just how much time was spent on it without any character progression or gain of information is characteristic of this novel. All those points are demerits, but no game breakers. This is a novel worth reading, but spending money on it would be foolish at this point. Waiting for it to be picked and after around another 40 chapters we might now if this is something worthwhile.
