Author has lost his way Well this one is a bit difficult to write as I had good time with this novel, however it’s time to address the elephant of the room. While the author’s approach to make fantasy words into more realistic is pretty neat thing same cannot be said about his characters… While it is fairly explaining why androids act such excentric way towards the protagonist the same cannot be said about the later cast,- who were written in a way to lack personal interests and goals solely/mostly focusing on main character whith all essential parts of the relationships and character growth happening off-screen. Alot of good ideas but extreme mediocre execution - I think the perfect summary would be a cartoon box with a caption „here be dragons” which tries to predict that it will get good one day, but in the end is still just a cartoon cube. Most visible issue during later chapters is the pacing or lack of it. Main Protagonist can be presented with a problem with no good solution just to suddenly solve it off-screen or in a span of 2 pages without any sort test of wits and more like angry player complaining to developer to nerf the debuff. As I mentioned before most relationships are extremely fast paced well past the point of them feeling unnatural especially during the multiverse arc which requires it own separate section, believe that! Another big problem is the multiverse arc… yeah… that was bad. The multiverse addition clearly shows that author ran out of the ideas on how to solve the current MC issues so instead he added RWBY into the mix do that he can add more „waifus”. The way it’s implemented lacks any sort of subtlely making novel lose it charms as it becomes yet another multiverse kingdom building webfic. Another thing is author critical errors in using characters introduced with multiverse, who often come as one dimensional, barely having any sort of opinion besides 2-4 selected topics and whatever MC thinks(although it might be an effect of my personal spite for whatever author did to Weiss character) I probably didn’t say anything other than what other readers already said, good idea but terrible execution.
