CRITICAL REVIEW- Read 107 Chapters. It's well, an unique story. It feels very wish-fulfilment, power fantasy, somewhat fanfic-like and uh the author's self-insertion shows. However, that isn't a bad thing. I only point these out because the story has a great degree in this regard. There are many such stories out there, but usually its something we acquiesce and use to. In this story, it's pretty glaring and maybe too far? But having said that, I hope people are not discouraged from reading it. It's enjoyable and has a story going for it. From what I've read, it's more of a slice of life about quirky, extremely powerful cast wandering around the universe. I suppose there will be very serious stuff occurring later in the story, but the pacing of the story is somewhat slow so it will take a while for that point. As for the mc of the story, he is okay. I don't like him, but I don't dislike him either. He just got lucky and was able to obtain an extremely powerful ability which makes him SEEMINGLY omnipotent. As a result, I find it hard to see him struggle later along the line. Yes he still can be considered an 'Ant' in the grand scheme of things (Because powers scaling is at the universal/omniversal/multiversal.) But the mc is like a walking Gary Stu and sure he has some internal dilemma which is his inferority complex but that can only do so much when you already basically a god. Not to mention the execution of the story shows that you shouldn't expect much in that regard to show development through his weaknesses. The main characters in the story are fine and I do like them. Nothing much to say, but I do feel they could've been fleshed much better. It's comedy so don't any seriousness. IA, however, was done quite poorly imo since her creation I feel has a lot to do with the Mc's internal issues. The story has a tone of references to other works and memes and what not. The characters all appear to understand these things as well, which kinda questions the realism considering each of their backgrounds. But yeah, don't take it seriously. It's done in a way like Gintama which of course is amazing. It's just par for the course. Hence, it may kill your immersion during the early parts of the story, it would just become the norm that you would enjoy (that is if you understood them). The writing quality is surprisingly good in terms of punctuation and grammar. Hardly any mistakes. Better than most webnovel quality. There was also surprising amount of detail when it came to the explanation of the universal structure. The author definitely takes that part seriously after all he claims to be Katake Kage Zenchi himself. His universe or whatever, naturally when it came to this part its all sorted well. Quite good. On another side, there were also many things that made me go 'Hmm...' I wasn't sure how I felt about things. For instance, a few times seemingly reiterating that the mc wouldn't show mercy to woman and such. Another time was bringing up the point specifically about a Chinese protagonist to which the whole cast was very reluctant to meet. I can definitely see the author's frustration of him having read many works as he tends to point out flaws in order to show that his work isn't like this, though the latter was shown as a way to point fun of. The point I'm trying to get with is that the author I feel doesn't execute this well despite the slice of life element it has. The jokes or points he mentions kinda seem immaturely executed. As a result of all of the above, I find it kind of hard to say about my feelings of this novel. It was a unique experience that was for sure. I enjoyed it but there were many instances that made me raise my brow. It's not like other novels don't make me do that, but the degree in this one is quite much. It's still a good novel, which you may wish to take a shot with if you enjoy a comedic slice of life of a powerful cast as they travel the universe unbound. There is potential. That is why my score of rating this which is 4.4/5 is quite high despite me seemingly complaining. Though I'm pretty lenient with reviews. No shipping here! Since it doesn't seem like the author intends to have multiple love interests. Not that it's a bad thing with how the author is developing the story. Just my preference.

I appreciate the critic review. I am well aware that my novel is far from perfect and I will work on trying to write it as best as my current experience and skills allowed me to be. As for IA, her character is being fleshed out whenever the scenes make it possible to do so, so in the later chapters, I made sure to give her as much screen time. And yeah, there aren't any other love interests other than the FL.
