It's not completely unreadable. I finished the whole thing. I regret spending the time on it. It's longer than it needs to be, the characters are absolutely one-dimensional, the plot devices are re-hashed MULTIPLE times, the author repeats the same information over and over and over and over, and the plot armor of the MC could take a shot from the death star without a scratch. There's zero thought put into the actual measurements of...anything (a sword strike few thousand times the speed of light is apparently totally able to miss somebody that is ten TRILLION kilometers tall at point blank range. That's trillion, with a T. Also, TRILLIONS of years go by in the blink of an eye, multiple times. Also, the ending was boring enough I would find myself skimming the text to pick out key words. I love to read, if the end of your novel is less of a "what happens next!" and more of a "bah, I'm 88% in on this 1400+ chapter novel, might as well take the time to finish" then you've failed as an author. It honestly felt like he was trying to pad the novel length, rather than actually improve the quality. Sometimes less is more. However, the translation quality was fantastic. There were some additional footnotes added to explain several of the more esoteric mythology introduced and that was certainly much appreciated.
