the main thing I find irritating is the overly use of "em dash" i think the author translated it with Ai that's why they are so many Em dash's, we are all it's pretty great it was a 5 but constant use of em dash turned it into 3.5.

this is one of the best reads I've come across in webnovel. I like the story line and the character development. if possible can you please avoid using the dashes to show system messages. some of us use speech recognition and when it starts reading dash dash dash … it really dos not feel great. suggestion: use << >>, {{ }}, (( )).
