Review Detail of Vanja in Shadow Hack

I honestly do not get why people are so madly hyped about this book. Yes the idea is good but the way it's written leaves one either laughing or crying depending on your tolerance on crass to milk-machine excrement. I will continue reading this till chapter 25 in case it magically get's better but I seriously doubt it. Let me make a few examples: I have nothing against fairy-tales about reincarnation and cultivation but when a writer writes about a meteor that destroyed the continental structure and magically humanity survived without living in bunkers I get confused. (ch2) The dialogue reads like 2 computers imitating humans if the only source of information on human dialogue was homer Simpson-s "duh" compilation on youtube. (his convo with his mother in ch3, convo with Lin Li in ch7) Granted this might be a translation issue but since I don't have the capability to read chinese for comparison I will think that the translators are excellent and it's the origin material that leaves one hanging based on the quality of the rest of the story. The story is not consistent, some seemingly unimportant things are described in great detail while important parts are skipped like in ch5 he got a bit of experience and a warm feeling and then goes glowing like Darth-Goku in ch7 without any advancement in his skills. And lastly character development is abysmal, we have a main character who has been a good for nothing looser most of his life and then suddenly he becomes the hero of all? If a character with psychology like that, meaning one who has always done the bare minimum just to "get by" would achieve this power, I grant you he would achieve the awakened state the same way, but after that it would be back to ****itall land since "hey I get free money anyways, why bother?" A person doesnt change to a core because of an event, they may go into temporary fight or flight mode and achieve great things for a while, but when the threat is over they will fall back to where they were before unless constant pressure is applied to them. I would like to give this one star but since it has been updated regularly in the 3 days it has been out and the translation quality seems pretty good the score goes up.
