Review As good as this novel is, it has a few fatal flaws, which will more than likely have me stop reading. The good: An interesting concept, elements of mystery, a decent amount of action, and some moments that make you want the MC to do some face-slapping. And if it weren’t for all the filler (described in #1 below) I’d likely keep reading. The bad: 1. If I can skip 5-10 chapters straight and not feel as if I missed anything, you wrote too many unnecessary events. And I have done this at least twice and skimmed so many chapters, which is terrible where you’re paying for chapters. 2. Almost 300 chapters and main plot is not progressing. The MC has barely taught anyone. So, the title and synopsis is misleading. Sure, there are elements of teaching, but it’s clearly not the focus. The author does something a lot of authors get wrong: focuses on the training. Training IRL is tedious… so, why would I want to read about someone training? 3. The MC seems too skilled in almost everything. And the nature of his powers vs the ones others have make it seem he’s just overpowered within his realm. We aren’t introduced to enough diversity of other powers to make the MC appear not overpowered but skilled in a select few things. So to be specific, it’s not about strength alone, but abundance of skills that can be the issue. 4. The author clearly hates short people. All the main characters are extraordinarily tall, and the short characters that are barely mentioned are described as gremlins and evil. Where is the character diversity? I can understand that the MC is very tall and if this is a harem, then maybe the women you want in it should be very tall, but unless everyone is as tall, this doesn’t seem realistic in terms of the people you casually meet. 5. For a harem, it’s a good novel. And the author does a better job than most harems in a particular regard, but still falls short. Where are the other SKILLED and decent male characters? There are other male characters that may be decent people (which is where this novel does better than others), but the male characters are often too average or only have their parents backing for them to be considered the cream of the crop. It’s either that, or the MC is so overpowered that we can’t tell if someone is actually decently skilled. Telling us they are good is not enough when we need to see it. What Id like to see: 1. While it may be too late for me, for others, I think you should tighten up the writing and excel the plot. 2. Diversify the skills so the MC doesn’t look so overpowered. 3. Add some regular short characters or average height characters that are normal, even if they aren’t a focus. There could be short characters but the author only mentions it for “gremlins”or for women that may be considered for the “harem”.

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... After writing over 750 chapters, here’s what you should know: 1. About the beginning: The early chapters are a bit rough. I'm not saying that it's horrible, in fact, I believe the story to be very enjoyable right from chapter 1. But, at the end of the day, this is my first original novel, and I stumbled in some areas, especially with the MC's attitude. He's too reserved and occasionally too "simpy" with the first female lead. However, the MC grows into a confident, powerful, and composed figure. No long-term cringe. He becomes the kind of MC you want to root for. 2. Quinlan’s morality: He’s not a cruel, sadistic villain. Most of the time, he won't even be acting like a real villain, only when pushed to the limit. Meaning he won't torture puppies or civilians for fun while cackling manically. However, he’s greedy, shameless, and opportunistic. If the lives of his loved ones are at stake and he can only save them by burning a city with innocents inside down, he’ll do it. He's ruthless toward strangers when necessary, but doesn't delight in cruelty. 3. Regarding slaves: Yes, Quinlan becomes a slave master. However, he treats all his women—free or enslaved—with care and respect. 4. More than smut: Every love interest has a real story, a real presence. No girl will be left behind. As of Chapter 750, Quinlan has 7 lovers and a few more "in-development" love interests. This is not a "catch them all" story, adding one girl every 20 chapters. I prefer harems made up of girls with richly developed characters over giant harems full of shallow ladies. Quality over Quantity. 5. Balanced storytelling: My aim was to create a work where romance, action, and slice-of-life blend together naturally. There’s high-stakes action, power progression, romantic developments, comedy, and some chill downtime to let both the characters and the readers breathe. 6. Weak-to-Strong Progression: Quinlan will become OP. But he rises slowly, not overnight. His journey will hopefully feel earned. 7. Not every female character listed in the fandom is a love interest: Some women are important to the plot but are not part of the harem or a planned to be, such as his two mothers. 8. No Yuri. No NTR. That's it, thank you for taking your chance on my novel! I'll make a promise to you, showing how much I believe you'll love the novel if you get over the somewhat bumpy beginning! If you read 750 chapters and hate the story even after investing so much time into it, then you may burn me alive!

The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion

[The System has arrived on your habitable planet, known as ‘Earth.’] [In five seconds, monsters from countless realms will invade Earth.] [Remaining Time: 5 seconds.] [You can now view your attributes, talents, abilities, and skills by simply thinking about them.] [Kill monsters, and you might survive.] “Monsters?” Damian’s breathing quickened as the pain in his chest grew sharper. On the day of the Awakening, humanity was forced to defend against an invasion of countless monsters from the towers that connected realms across the multiverse. While billions of people died helplessly, billions more seized the opportunities hidden behind the horrors spilling out of the gates. Leveling up, growing stronger, awakening talents, learning supernatural skills, changing one's very race, and even achieving immortality all became possibilities. But for Damian, who was suffering from a sickness that would kill him within a few years, the Awakening was a curse. While other humans awakened powerful talents, hunted monsters, and evolved, Damian remained talentless, a liability and a burden the awakened had to carry. Damian never wanted to be seen as weak or useless, but what could he do? He was dying. If only he had awakened a talent or at least possessed a stronger body, he might have been able to level up and cure his sickness. But he couldn’t. All that would change when a mysterious figure set him on a path that would lead him to his true destiny. Witness the rise of a warrior who would make countless men tremble in fear. Witness the rise of a monster who would force every race, every being, and every existence to kneel. Witness the rise of the Champion.
