Before I say anything, I know when you write English words in Chinese they sound more than a little odd. But in an obviously western themed story, if the main characters name comes out as f@ck1ng RINC YOU SHOULD KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG. I usually hate writing a review before release, the main reason being that a "review" has to review some actual content. Half of the so called, "reviews" on qidian are just asshats who read the blurb, and ONLY the blurb and go "wow this story is great/bad/rubbish/amazing" It just drives up the wall as THAT IS NOT WHAT A REVIEW IS. Godamn, good books are coming out with 3 stars because of dumb stuff like that. Fix your sh1t qi. *end of rant Anyways, I've read the tl of this book on another site and it was great. I've really enjoyed it and the translation was good and you could see the translater actively improving their skills. That's why I've rated most of this highly (giving the benefit of the doubt on release rate). As for translation quality... I've got some hopes, but not many. The synopsis is already showing how green the translator is. And it makes my heart pound with worry. Too many stories on qi have just been utterly mauled and ravaged by inept translators and editors that don't even improve over the course of SEVERAL HUNDRED Chapters. I truly hope this one will be alright. Here is the synopsis from the previous site and you can compare it yourself: The number one magician in the game, Link, led his group to defeat the final boss: Ruler of the Abyss, Nosamax. Then, a cinematic appeared. It was a very ****** one. There was an endless void, and within the emptiness there was a self-proclaimed Ruler of Light — a dim globe of light. “Link, are you willing to save the continent of Feiloma from the envelopment of darkness?” asked the Ruler of Light. Of course, in reality, he wouldn’t dream of agreeing to such a laden mission. However, couldn’t he give it a shot in the game? “I am willing!” Link replied in deadly earnest. “Then go ahead.” And thus, Link was thrown into the miserable continent of Feiloma.

READ OR RUN?? TRANSLATION QUALITY: Between glaring grammatical errors, names being interchanged and the structure of the novel as a whole, it creates a difficult read. The grammar is ****** which, in theory, should make for an easy and quick read, instead weakeneds the story. The simplistic style highlights all the grammatical mistakes either the author or the translators have made. To be utterly cynical, it makes no sense for there to be as many mistakes as there are due to this being written in a language that is comfortably within the compass of a 10-year-old. They either need to put in more effort, have a new team pick this up or , heck, at this point I will take a freaking editor. All the pLinKesses are making me cringe. I cry bitter hot tears every time I read certain sentences. STABILITY OF UPDATES: Personally, I do not have much of a preference on this. 10 chapters a week is neither a large amount nor a small amount. BUT, there are translators whom push out more chapters a week at a better quality then what we are reading here. If the translation was better I would be more forgiving, but due to simply mistakes I have to give them a poor rating. I am a fan of quality over quantity. STORY DEVELOPMENT: The author needs to learn how to show NOT tell. The entire plot must have been carefully outlined, which makes for an excellent foundation, but fell flat in terms execution. The only details you will get is the author waxing a poetic paragraph over certain beautiful characters' appearance. And the story so far plays out like a paint by numbers or an adventure quide: After reading to chapter 50, I found my attention slipping. I knew that A, B and C would happen and then we would see X result. Then, three chapters later, A, B and C would happen again and then X would, yet again (shocker, I know) be the result. Little to no variation. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: And then there is the narration. Because the writing is not enjoyable, the narration, in consequence, is not either. Plus, I feel extremely disconnected from the characters, especially the MC. I find myself not caring about the circumstances he finds himself in because there is no suspense. No chance of failure. Each step in Link's character progression is transparent and, worse yet, dull. But not all is a complete waste, the author appears to have written himself into a corner with the MC's ability, making him too OP early on. To counteract this, he creates a system of magic where just because the MC gains the ability to cast spells does not mean he understands the logic and process behind his magic, placing a decent damper on MC's ability. Unfortunately, this is short lived. The MC gains knowledge and understanding at an alarming rate. If you thought the game system, in which, he could purchase spells (Including Legendary, Hidden, ect.)was an OP ability, you are sorely mistaken. The MC's genius level intellect is in fact his largest cheat skill; gifting him the ability to process, plan and react to situations (some life and death), understand knowledge from the modern world he had difficulty understanding in his previous life and recall all information he so much had glanced at in his previous life (such as the forums). . . Relatable, right. Whatever. Part of what makes s successful fantasy is the reader being able to suspend disbelief. If the MC either possessed the genius level intellect OR the gaming system, not both. Both skills balance each other out and compliment each other TOO well. He has no weakness. No faults. Nothing terribly interesting. WORLD BACKGROUND: I find myself more interested in the world, the MC has been transported to the MC himself. Similar to the MC, the reader is drooped into the middle of the story, unlike the MC though we do not possess years of knowledge from gaming. Very little is explained unless the plot calls for it, then we are treated to an information dump on every single thing they hope will distract you long enough till MC's plot armour activates and Houdinis his way out of whatever situation of the week he has landed himself in. I still have little idea how powerful a level 1 is compared to a level 2 or even to a level 3 or 4. Levels are thrown out like yesterday's underwear and I am left with no proper explanation on how powerful someone really us, not just because they possessed a higher number. FINAL ANALYSIS: Run. I would walk across the desert while eating charcoal briquettes soaked in Tabasco for forty days and forty nights than have to read this novel again.
