first let me tell you that this review contains spoiler ! is it worth your money ? ( coins ) It depends . If you enjoy stories without harem / romance / then go ahead . It's a gold . If you want a harem tag tagging along then it's a disappointment harem - no there isn't . I'm the type of guy who doesn't read novels if it doesn't have harem tag .. no harem ? drop ! . but the author doesn't come clean about if it contains harem and to find out your self . Remember he doesn't say that it doesn't contains harem and to find out your self .. which is a bait to capture more readers . Personal review - 1 -200 chapters all the mc does is train ,eat , sleep , have a mental breakdown , and the cycle repeats itself . I thought of dropping couple of times but went forward anyway . It's quite irritating at this rate . after chapter 300 it's quite readable and story continues to get interesting . And it made me forgot all the frustration I had previously . I dropped at 402 chapter after the protagonist wants to share about orgin of him and his teacher ( they are from earth ) and about the god to others . It destroyed the full meaning of the story for me and I don't like when the protagonist goes around telling others about his secret / Trump card / system / god / reincarnation etc .. what's the point ? it's the only thing that makes mc unique and, I think people who argue about it are people pleasers . whatever is the case I don't care anymore . . natural review- extremely well detailed story , slow I mean extremely slow story till 300 chapter and later story takes off . Interesting world background . Good updating stability . well though story and characters development . if you can handle till 300 chapters . .. you won't be disappointed .

i feel like you are being extremely unreasonable i mean i also like a mc who is unique and doesn't share secrets but those secret are not gonna help when you are dead or stuck at the same power level because you were stubborn about not revealing secrets to a confidant plus he revealed it because it was needed to get the person's support and trust.

I'm not being unreasonable 😑 first you need to understand that a novel is a imagination ( etc) of the author . ... author could've make many situations where he doesn't need to reveal his secrets 😶. author found a way to make mc reveal his secrets ... which is successful... and now you are the proof of that... you think that it is or was necessary to reveal his secrets.. where I can think of at least 10 ways to go around that ( progress the plot without revealing his secrets) and those secrets makes the mc a unique character .. like in some novels where mc believes his women 100 percent to reveal his secrets.. which proves to me that the author lacks interaction with women or doesn't have that much experience with women . Because in real life a woman is a emotional creature and I can make any of my cousins / mother / women that I had interactions with , reveal their secrets to me . They would even reveal many things which would astonish us to me after having some conversations... ( I'm not boasting , stay with me till end) Even many of my secrets would get revealed after me trusting some women with it . so from experience I can tell that women's shouldn't get trusted with secrets .. where I had many male friends who would get gladly beaten up for me but won't sell me out .. . I would do same for them .. so when I see a mc in a novel doing things like trusting women so much which is not okay... I can tell that author lacks experience... next - I found that the people who talks much about how much property he has or how many women they slept with.. or just reveals everything about him to me is kinda not good... for example , then I know all the things about him and how he spends his time makes him kinda predictable to me... so when I lose volunteered interest in him. .so if he is mysterious and has a lot of value in him, I'll make friends with him . Now when I thought deeply about it. .. the same thing that aroused his interest in me ... is his value and unpredictable quality . when it comes to a character in a novel, it is the imagination / intelligence/ skills / experience of author that projects into his novel. so when a cringe Japanese beta protagonist goes from earth to another world and starts showing off his cheat/ that goddess send him/ or he is from another world .. and try to gain to win girls, ( and it for some dumb reason works) . . he doesn't have his own hardworking achievement to show... is a huge turn off. there's nothing of him other than his cheat, he is worthless if he was a common character with common power of that world . it would have been great if despite being a common character he got to the top... but it isn't like that. now despite having a cheat if he makes it secret, then it would attract the interest of others. Being mysterious and unpredictable is the key. but typically the mc's goes around sharing their secrets for validation of women and other man . he thinks that it is necessary.. like in real world a guy says - I come from that family or my background is that.. my father is a billionaire etc. but if it remains secret , that gives it a unique charm and keeps interest of the reader's. and in the end they have similar mindset.. in real life or in fictional character . And author could make it that the mc doesn't need to reveal his cheat but author did what he felt is necessary.. like I said in the first comment... I don't like typical beta Japanese kind of mentality in fictional characters... so when I read about him revealing his - reincarnation / system / body possession / etc... it ruins for me because it's the only thing that makes him different from other normal character... imagine a system is given to mc which makes him unique but he is generous so he shares his system with his friends and family members .. he is not unique anymore, is he?

You dropped at the worst time you should have pushed on more, You act as if he goes about telling everyone about his background, And everyone makes mistakes at some point, Would you like to read a novel about someone who is always right and never makes a mistake?

very unfair review. just FYI he kills that friend of his just to keep his secret.as for mc being unique. honestly he is one of the most unique mcs in the whole thousands of novel I have read.I am following this novel now as of chapter 937, and the story never fails at getting better and better and more interesting. Sometimes, I will just laugh, pity, feel sad, and hate the mc.Just the fact this novel could make me produce emotions towards a fictional character is beyond impressive (I'm a person who has a heart like a stone, and it is super rare for me to produce any meanfull and strong emotions including and not limited to happiness, anger, sadness, etc...) and this novel did just that.

I don't think I'm that. It is just a personality trait. Mental illness, if you would like to call it. Also, you are the one who is writing a false and unfair review. So if anyone needs to go out, it should be you because you are making people miss what would have been an amazing read.

ok this is just telling me that you haven't even read the novel, women? no, mc don't got time for that, friends? fk em, dont need em they waste time, family?dont need em, they waste precious time which could be spent training this is the philosophy of the mc that has been through character development which was incredible and which you couldn't sit through and read so dont go around spewing nonsense and reducing the rating of the novel

Good plot, terrible execution. Meant to be a warrior in a world where magic reigns supreme, instead got an MC which focuses too heavily on his magical aspects. His personality ain’t so fun to sit through either. God gave him a crazy affinity which essentially permanately destroys anything it touches (slowly eats the world) and gave him control over beings which does the same thing, but like an endless army of them. Then, after that, story goes down from there. MC realizes that he could potentially be an enemy of literally all things living so he became nihilistic and apathetic. Killing innocents, killing children (Mage children obv) and doing anything to further his pursuit of power. He summons those monsters to get more powerful by absorbing the strongest one and then, without caring about the consequences, allows the rest of the weaker ones to just rampage around, leaving other people to clean his mess. Those monsters don’t care about what they be killing either, so naturally a bunch of villages with normal families also just get turned into dust. He ain’t shy in throwing the people who has no beef with him (and even somewhat help him) under the bus if they slightly do anything wrong or inconvenience him. Almost Reverened Insanity-ish but worse since such a personality switch was completely unwarranted, illogical and completely pathetic. I mean, while imprisoned, he taught someone how to be strong and such, but whilst fleeing from the Kingdom, he had to kill him to keep his identity a secret because he recognized him?? What? Why introduce him all together? To change the main characters personality to an unfeeling and uninteresting robot? (There is more to it but if you got to this part then you’ll know what I’m talking about) Honestly it is such a terrible excuse that after seeing no changes later on, as well as the quality of writing taking a dive (often repeating and worthless paragraphs) I decided to just drop the book. Going off in a tangent; don’t get me started on the personality on some of these mages either, despite the book saying otherwise, they DO feel like a hive mind - literally no human qualities on some of these guys, just feels like robots in general. I wish there was some form of rivalry or something with the Magic academy, or more Mage companions that sympathize with the warrior cause (or any new companions in general). Or anything to make the world feel more alive, but no we’re stuck with like 6 people, the rest he just kills off or does not care about them in general. Naturally I did not cover the entire book, and I did not want to either. I wanted readers to know what they’re getting into. This is not a valiant, brave sword man who would shoulder the pressure of the Magic world so that warriors before him may get stronger. But a cold, unfeeling, unholy Summoner, which so happens to have a pretty sword and strong body that constantly brings out an army of plot devices and throws the main idea of the story out the window cause the author himself doesn’t know where to take it. Perhaps the author wanted to introduce plot devices to make the story interesting, perhaps not. I could atleast understand the thinking in some of these decisions, but the story is just all over the place. I personally can’t recommend someone spending money on this book unless you dont mind the MC being a pseudo Calamity Mage with strange applications of Magic and the sword - with the occasional exaggerated panic attacks when he kills something with the slightest bit of significance, of course.

Review as of chapter 630. Might include minor spoilers but I'll try to keep them to a minimum. Short Version: Stop scrolling through reviews and just go read the novel! Long Version: I'll start off by saying that this novel is simply amazing. Stories like this are what keeps me from just deleting the app due to the sheer number of unreadable nonsense it has. Now for an actual breakdown: Writing Quality - The quality is simply top-notch. No grammatical mistakes, clear and concise sentences that flow into each other beautifully, as well as smooth transitions between different points throughout the story. It's obvious that the author has improved in this regard by quite a bit, compared to his first novel (Lightning is the Only Way), which was already incredible by Webnovel standards. Story Development - The novel is slow-paced for the most part, and especially at the beginning, but I find that positive in this case, since we get a better look at the struggles Alex (later Shang) has to go through to adapt to a completely new reality where his life is constantly on the line. There are eventual time skips in the story, which are unavoidable simply due to the fact that you can't become a Sword God without hundreds (quite possibly thousands at this rate) years of training. Character Design - This is the biggest reason for this novel's success. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is fleshed out in such detail that it wouldn't surprise me if the author one day revealed he has been studying the human mind for over 100 years. As for Shang himself, the many hardships he has gone through and the eventual revelation that he is, for reasons I obviously won't mention here, the enemy of the world (Opposer vibes 😉), have made him resolved to do whatever it takes to reach his goal. He will sacrifice anything and anyone for power. Updating Stability - Not much to say here. 2 chapters a day plus the fact that the author is an absolute legend. Broke both his arms at some point and somehow still pushed out chapters until he was eventually forced to take a small break. World Background - We get a basic understanding of how the world works and how the mages have complete rule over it early in the story and get more and more pieces of information in regards to the powers they wield, as well as the nature of the world itself, as the story progresses. Admittedly, there have been a few instances where the author goes into too much detail about something that isn't really relevant, but that isn't nearly enough to make the story less enjoyable, at least for me. Overall, this is truly an incredible story and I highly recommend it. Truly impressive work so far, Heat. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
