It started out to be a story with good potential. The MC is going through the "weak to strong" route and there were lots of fights worth reading. The translation is okay as well. However, the issue lies with the story itself, by how it was written by the author. By the time it hit the arc where he was teleported elsewhere (not sure, about Ch200+ maybe (Volume 5) I realized that the wash, rinse, repeat in this story is so heavy and the "praise be the MC" reaction chapters so sickening that the plot had hardly advanced. Everything is about the crowd's reaction and disgust-turned-shame-and-respect. The side characters have flat personalities. There's a limit to how much an author can milk a story to stretch out the word count, and me? I've long reached my limit with this story. Sorry to say this, but after reaching till here, I felt like reading this story made me dumber. There's no advancement in the writing style even after so many chapters. My head is literally aching right now. I gave the story several chances to redeem itself. But sadly, I can no longer tolerate it. I have to drop this novel, not because of the translation quality but because of the author's writing itself. Ah, such regret because I do think that the mystery of the Painting is interesting and I'm leaving it when it's still unsolved.

Well put. This novel's trash. I think the translators would be using their time better if they dropped it and made a better novel selection.
