Goddess Helps me Simulate Cultivation is a story about someone, their name doesn't really matter considering the main character is irrelevant in this story. He unlocks a system that allows him to simulate another life in a simulated world and unlock rewards. However, he has bad luck so he never gets anything. So he forces someone else to do the slave labor for him, giving the other user small rewards while he gets the big ones. So, before anyone reads the premise and thinks "that sounds interesting", be warned, this is not a good novel. That premise was chosen so the author could raise the word count super easily. This novel is complete garbage. Translation quality is decent, nothing to be astounded by, but pretty good all things considered. (4/5 stars) Story development is terrible. First off, I wrote this review when there was around 120 chapters. If you wanted to, you could probably condense it to 30 chapters or less if you removed all the redundant text and useless information. It reads like a satire writing making fun of redundant writing/novels that focus too much on word count. It takes tens of chapters for a single point to come across, simply because we have three people who all have identical POVs/people discussing already known information. Aside from that, nothing is interesting about the story development. Not in the simulated world, and the real world is nigh-irrelevant. (1/5 stars) Character design is equally terrible. The main character simply doesn't need to exist. You could arguably written a better novel just by focusing more on the side characters and removing the main character entirely. I can't really say that the side characters have much of a personality, considering very little focus was put on them, and they aren't really interesting to begin with. (1/5 stars) World background is non-existent. Focusing on the real world first, all we know is that demonic cultivators exist, sects exist, itinerate cultivators exist, demon beasts, and a royal family. Not a whole lot that is interesting happened. Mostly face slapping weak mobs. As for the simulated world? It's just plain uninteresting. (1/5 stars) Overall, this novel is exceedingly awful. Nothing is really interesting about this novel aside from it's premise. You will find yourself not caring about anything really, mostly because of the sheer amount of redundancy in this novel.
