Review Detail of Arkard in Tempest of the Battlefield

Review detail

ArkardLv155yrArkard

I decided to take a look at this after having read some of Skeleton Wizard's other works (Tempest of the Stellar War and Battle Frenzy). If you've read any of these other works, it's the same parallel set up with the main character's journey to becoming a legend, the loyal non human helper sidekick, an anonymous alternative identity, working toward making that ideal romance work, great friendships, and a splash of humor. Despite the similar themes, it's a worthy addition to the Tempest trilogy and a good read. Bear through the first few chapters as the world building and the terminology dump is a bit of a turn off but it quickly picks up. Also be aware that unlike Skeleton Wizard's other works, the Starcraft references are not subtle in this one. It's to the point they're actually playing a version of it in the school competitions in between killing Zerg haha. I do have to be critical of two things though. The editing is terrible. I don't mean to be rude, but it really is. Every chapter is riddled with grammatical errors and typos. Clearly better then MTL but it still makes reading unpleasant at times. There's even one chapter early on with editing notes left embedded in the text. They're still there despite being pointed out by readers in the comments and it being half a year later. The second thing would be the stability of the updates. As some other reviews have noted, the pace has dropped considerably and is erratic. I think if you hover over the release rate it's currently averaging 4 chapters a week vs. the scheduled 10 as of the time of this review. Granted, real life stuff happens, but it is something to take note of. I would definitely recommend reading this if you've read any of Skeleton Wizard's other works and can deal with the negatives I've mentioned.

HI Arkard, would you please point me to the chapter in which the editing notes were left embedded in the text? As for the release rate, we are working on that, and the rate should pick up soon. There had been two translators back when the book was scheduled to release 10 ch a week, but now it's only me. So 10 cha a week is impossible without stockpiling ahead of time. Thank you for your review

The chapter with what I assume are editing notes left in it is chapter 134. As you'll see in the chapter and the comments, there's multiple instances of "[_Accepted suggestion_]" throughout the chapter.

Thank you. That is a chapter translated by another TL who had already retired from this novel; I don't have the rights to make any changes in the Webnovel platform. Sorry.
