Transmigrating to Modern Earth from the Future
I started to read this novel because I wanted a good short story between the often thousand chapters long chapters tales I’m fond of.
So, let’s go first with the one good thing about this book, the author has good grammar.
Everything else is a letdown. It is not a short story, it’s a supposed-to-be long novel that has been abandoned by the author, so it’s not a completed story, more a short road leading to nowhere. The original premises, a hyper advanced AI from the ten of thousand of year in the future, sick of its pointless existence, tries to self-destroy ends up in a modern Earth in a human body, is wasted. The main character (Lumen) is a generic isekai character who ends up a collection of tropes, appears quite stupid at the end. And I say Isekai purposefully, as in the first 10 chapters, the action leaves Earth for an unoriginal fantasy tutorial then fantasy world setting, with a system trope which is good at first but unexploited. Finally, the writing is alright at the beginning, but toward the end of the first volume, it starts to go bad, and for the second (and final volume of the tale), the storytelling becomes incoherent, sloppy, repetitive (filler), just bad to the point I had to force myself to read the last chapters.
In conclusion, this novel is a wasted opportunity, in character and setting (a cheat, as it almost doesn’t take place in modern Earth), the writing is awful and it is no wonder the author gave it up. My final verdict is a 1 out of 10.
P.S: I can’t even thank the author for the effort of writing this novel, as the last 10 chapter were a torture to read, and he did not even have the sincerity to say in the synopsis that it was not a completed tale, but one which would remain unfinished. I wasted my coins for nothing.
