so far...not bad it's a very interesting book with that urge to want to read the next chapter and the next though it wasn't state it's harem it's slowly going that route!

I have to say this is a good read and worth it to spend on. The mc is hard working and willing to learn. The world background is very original. I love the power lvl system as well. Its very unique and there is so much to it but in a good way. One thing i like for the mc is the partner system. It is a good way to have someone look out for his weaknesses and always look for ways to improve. makes it so that the story is always progressing and the is a clear path for the novel as far as the general area of where it's headed

books pretty good as someone that reads a lot of book titles, this is a stand out among many. With a speedy build-up in characters and an interesting power, it's really good how even with the novel being somewhat fast, you still get the feeling of not wasting time and that everything is there for a reason. all in all good novels, and I will be following it as it develops

I've now read 37 chapters and honestly I'm a bit lost, i wanted to like the story. the concept is pretty cool but it just never clicked. it's probably a combination of multiple factors, weird pacing, surprisingly little focus on the power system while getting stuck in the less important jazz of the citadels life that i wouldn't even call effective world building as it doesn't evoke any curiosity. The human interactions seemed strange (i know it's a stylistic attempt to create a structure that would inspire more immersion by creating something non standard but it falls flat imo) mc mostly seems like an empty vessel that doesn't get enough agency to feel like an actual person. ultimately, i felt apathetic pretty much the entire way, something that you never want to say about a book but alas it's true. I'm still a little curious about how his skill tree might grow but at this point i cant justify investing anymore time into this read. but make your own judgements. it may just not have been for me.

is there romance in this novel? please no it holds back the MC

It has potential, but it’s bland. The background and the concept has a large potential. I forsee significant world building, but the character development makes it boring. So far, everything seems to be fed to the MC. He’s winning impossible battles from the get-go, and the motivation for wanting to get stronger and his knowledge base is unexplained. There are a few trope-y elements. It seems the novel could’ve used some more time baking in its conception. Though, I want to note it’s not as bad as I make it sound, but I’m not off the mark. I got bored at ch 19.

Reveal spoiler

I'm gonna leave a 3 start review. I'll come back and change it later. But right now, I'm at about a 100 chapters in. And I'm very conflicted on how I feel about this novel, because it's an interesting premise. It's an interesting power system. But at the same time, I feel like the author doesn't know how to implement the power system correctly. Because every fight, the main character's in makes it feel like he's a weak bastard who always ends up in the hospital, even if he's victorious. But the only time that's not the case is when it's against other humans or a creature, an entire life power level below him, and it doesn't matter the reason that it's like, oh you know, he's strong. Who's going after stronger enemies when every single fight against one of the stronger enemies puts the main character in the hospital? For the most part, it makes it Not feel like a worthwhile read. So I'm gonna stick with the story because I am enjoying it. But for now, I'm leaving the 3 star review, I'll come back and change it once I've caught up with the current chapters. But yeah, my current thoughts are that almost every fight between monsters feels very Samy, and when it is a bit of an exception. Our character's strength isn't properly shown because we have no real gauge.Based on someone has power level and how strongly they're supposed to be

I want to give this book a 5-star. It somehow inspired me to write a new book. I'm still currently reading somewhere in chapter 27 so I don't have too much to say. In any case, the book so far is good. It just suits my taste. It's a survival world where humanity is facing the threat of monsters as they build fortresses to protect themselves. I think there are more citadels somewhere in the world, with more powerful humans and monsters.
