Review Detail of Vanaxity in Sword God in a World of Magic

Sword God in a World of Magic is a story about Alex/Shang, he dies in a fight against some robbers, and was chosen by God to be reincarnated into another world. For the God's entertainment of course. He is tasked with reviving the warrior legacy in a world dominated by mages. So, this is obviously made by a new writer, it's very obvious. It's fairly good for a new novel, but I feel like the author spent too much time on world building. Writing quality is mixed. The quality itself is decent, there is not many obvious mistakes or grammatical errors, however there is a terrible amount of repetition. The author has a very annoying habit to go off on random tangents that was barely relevant to the story. Furthermore, the author will spend a quarter of the chapter in explaining one of the main character's very minor decisions. It's annoying. (2/5 stars) As for the story development, I'm pretty mixed about it as well. It's kind of hard to solely focus on it, as the novel is plagued with issues regarding the character design and world background. The start of the novel was pretty good, but I think it sort of fell off when the main character went to the academy. Other than that, it's pretty bland. (3/5 stars) Character design is meh, I don't really like the main character. Hes a 20+ year old MMA fighter reincarnated in the body of a 14 year old. He constantly acts like a rebellious/angsty 14 year old boy who hates the world. Hopefully it gets better via character development. As for other characters? They are exactly what I don't like about isekai novels. The main character is constantly put into the position of ignorance, and every single character seems overly preachy. Despite all of this, the character have a logical flow. A very noticeable problem upon reading for awhile, is every character only has minor changes to their archetype, they aren't overly cliché, but all of them seem the same. (3/5 stars) The world background is arguably the worst part of this novel. Don't get me wrong, this has a very in-depth world. However due to the writing style it becomes less in-depth and more so fitting as many slightly changed cliché fantasy tropes in as possible. The author will go off on many random tangents to very precisely explain the technology of this world. For example, when they explained space rings it as both tedious as well as annoying. Tedious, because I can guarantee you very few people actually care, and I doubt it will become very relevant later in the story. Annoying because it was rather abrupt, and the person he asked just so happened to have very in-depth knowledge on the subject. Also, this might just be me, but this story has a tone similar to a grimdark dystopian novel, which doesn't fit in this novel. For this to be a fantasy world with magic, everything seems super constrained in tedious. I mean, you literally need receipts to the money you own so they know you didn't steal it? I can't imagine many powerful people doing this, and even if they have backers this is bound to cause many problems. This entire world feels super constrained with barely any freedom. (1/5 stars) Overall, from a superficial view this is pretty good. However due to authors habit of overexplaining things to the point of repetition, and intense desire to build the world as soon as possible, it becomes rather boring later on. (around chapter 130, sooner for more impatient people) Character design is rather mid, same problem with the author's previous works. I give this novel 2.8 stars out of 5.
