I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. I have been trying to read different Lord novels lately but the vast majority were complete trash, with authors completely forgetting many components of the story, terrible translations and more. This novel instead was a breath of fresh air. I’ll go a bit more in detail: - Story development This is where the story shines. First of all, the MC becomes a lord only many years after the first “generation” of lords, so there are many people much stronger than him. The MC has his cheat that allows him to grow faster than others, but it is not something overwhelmingly heaven defying like in other novel, causing him to have to face actual challenges. He is quite smart and maintains a low profile, allowing for a nice story progession. - Character design Nothing much to say here. Most characters have one defining quality, but not much development after that. - World background The world is quite interesting but I hope it could be developed more. Hopefully it does one the MC can travel long distances without issue. - Translation quality Honestly, compared to many other chinese novel translations, this is actually not that bad. Issues with gender are quite rare, except for the slime, whom I still have no idea if it is male, female or neutral. The main issue with translation is the names of the power system ranks, which are all over the place, but if you think a bit, you still understand. There are some sentences which are probably chinese sayings or jokes which make no sense translated, but they are quite rare. Overall, I would definitely recommend this if you like “lord” novels, but also if you don’t
