The first 20 or so chapters were good and I have nothing bad to say about it. The writing quality throughout the novel is excellent. Minor spoiler alert My main problem is with the MCs himself and the world developement. I dropped this around chap 36 mainly because this mc is acting cautious FOR NO REASON. 36 chapters in and there is no credible reason why he’s hiding his power, just ‘ooh let me use 20% of my power so I can get into this so if someone disagrees I can face slap them’, ‘I’m gonna go to this super powerful institute and act like a normal student so I can fit in’. When it reality the MC going to the institute is essentially holding him back from becoming more powerful. Now you might say, well young master what if he’s going there to make connections or enjoy the resources he’ll get as an elite student. Well sure, except HES HIDING HIS POWER TO THE POINT PEOPLE THINK HIS A GENERIC CANNON FODDER. Sigh if I’m wrong and the novel picks up after this just reply in the comments but I doubt it’ll get any better. I personally actually enjoy cautious MCs but this one feels like the authors just forcing it to happen and it just ruins the novel. Word development is sub-par at best, all we know is the generic ‘MoNsTeRs ToOk OvEr EaRtH wHeN tHeY mUtAtEd’ and it’s just lazy writing. Understandbly it is still early days since there’s only 50 chapters out at the time of this review but how do we know barely anything about the world. No teasers, no hints, no nothing. Feels like one of those novels where there’s gonna be a massive info dump in the future to make up for it and I am not there for it. To be fair I’ll probably read as a filler once the updates become more frequent since I do like the idea behind the novel. but I’m just disappointed with the way it’s turned out to be. Sigh

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... Disclaimer: I'd received a few complaints from some readers that my MC is not a real villain, and I have to agree; if you're looking for some complete psycho MC who burns random farmer villages down just for fun then don't read. The MC is a ruthless man who does evil things from time to time, but only to his enemies or those he considers to be true scum. He gains no joy from tormenting strangers. Also don't read if you want a story about buying s*x slaves and r*ping them, that doesn't happen in this novel. He will treat the women he wants to be with as if they were normal people, whether they're slaves or not.
