A great novel that seems to get alot of hate for no real reason, it has alot of filler but that is something almost every novel on this app has especially some of the more popular ones, another complaint I see often is that there are too many fight scenes? Idk what these people are smoking but I think you're in the wrong genre if you want infrequent combat, the way the story arcs of this novel work are a long journey, fraught with dangers and fights, a midway rest where danger reveals itself and they are forced back onto the path, and finally a falling action point where the characters can rest, grow, and get their affairs in order. Unlike other sword and magic novels the MC is not a sociopath and actually starts out as ***** child that gets taken advantage of easily, it takes quite some time before he's able to deal with others without getting the short end of the stick.Also there is no "cheat item" his badge is actually a very weak damaged magical item which judging by the pilot chapter never gets repaired, it's only ability is to completely drain the energy of whoever is in contact with it and only gives an extremely slight boost to elemental affinity in return. As for combat applications he can only use it against an enemy effectively when he is in a group and fighting against an individual, as it renders him immobile as well, he can also use it as a shield as before it was damaged it was a very powerful artifact. The only thing that could be considered a cheat is the potion he drank to become a mage, but made him only able to use water magic and it almost killed him. He only survived when he met a grade 9 mage, which is the current strongest rank of mage in the novel, who was willing to fix the problems with his body.

LIKEIn all honesty even with the filler I wouldn't even call it filler, every fight seems to give them stuff important to later plotlines or sets up future conflicts and villains it's just that the pacing is really slow. But the pacing is nothing when compared to other novels on this app like cultivator chat group or library of heavens path both of which make this novel seem like a roller coaster in terms of pacing
Right right
