the halfwit dunces

Probably better than most of the got stories.Dunces in the comment section who hate it probably should take a look at the name of the website

this seems like it'll be an epic drama my only issue is that you really repeat their names, like a lot. I can't tell if MC will be a shameless scoundrel or a calculating halfwit and honestly, I'd like a few more chapters before I can comment on style because it's a genuinely interesting read UWU. looking forward to more. *sets up tent*

MC is a bit of a hypocrite, anyone who uses women as tools are scum unless its him then its only natural to do so. Doesn’t fawn over every fairy he see’s which is nice but no matter how amazing of aloof and cold the woman is they because dunces the moment they meet the MC and choose to be his slave which is dumb but oh well. MC is like Changge from “I am the fated villain” except for this guy chooses to be borderline scum while Changge has to be because of his inheritance and system

Amazing world-building, distinct characters and the seemingly loose ends connect sooner or later which is just awesome. The only problem here is a halfwit p.o.s. translator who often changes words based on personal preference (trying to make things sound cooler, when it doesn't fit the mood, or using sanskrit for a chant even though there was absolutely none in that place in the original chapter) but most sickeningly, instead of "epiphany" or "fortune" or "chance" or "gain" or sometimes even "success" this scum of a translator persists on writing "serendipity"(beneficial/happy accident/chance event) in almost every chapter to sound sophisticated or educated, producing exactly the opposite effect. you need to stop that, it doesn't make sense most times you do that, you filthy scum, and stick the the meaning of words of the original work and not your moronic "it would be cooler if i wrote it this way" antics. you disgust me. i need to break sth to calm down

Not gonna go too deep and will try to limit spoiler. Havnt gotten far but kinda bored already and reason(s) are simple. 1. After a certain point early on in the story, no matter what happens, the MC doesnt give a damn about consequences cause he can always run away to a safe haven. This kills any suspense that might have even had the thought of being conceived. Though later in the story his safe haven can probably be threatened, for the first, id say 500~, chapters depending on how quick the author wants to progress things, there is no threat to the MC's safety net. 2. The MC is so utterly lacking in emotions towards others its borderline mental issues if not crossing that line in some regards. Look I get not caring about strangers but he literally saves peoples lives, makes use of them like good servants, but mentally is always thinking about how he gives no shits about their lives if it comes down to running away from a problem he cant handle. He could bring them with him, but the thought doesnt cross his mind cause...not really given a reason except cold personality. Which begs me to question why save em in the first place, but w/e, guess im not that big of a 'User' type personality. 3. Same issue in a lot of novels but MC is almost always in the Right cause everyone else is petty minded halfwit retarded sons of bitches (or daughters of bitches, gender equality and all that). A few characters have a brain that functions normally, but they usually end up as the MCs pet gophers that he could throw away at the drop of a hat. My current three biggest gripes, might add more later if I pick this back up. Some other things related to scoring I guess. Characters arnt exactly cardboard cut outs, but most of em arnt horribly fleshed out by this point (and who knows how many will be around in 100+ chapters?). Stability? Eh, dunno, picked up recently, put down more recently. Story - The pacing wasnt bad but im also not really sure how far along the cultivation system goes and all its stages, steps, and the like. It has some lulls followed by Actions Required Beyond Daily Norm segments. Translation Quality- Was a bit spotty and sometimes downright confusing but could also been the author instead of translator due to most words seemingly translated correct but some sentences just not making any damn sense due to location in the chapter. World - Not badly done so far but wish the 'power systems' were more streamlined. Currently there are 4? or 5? 'paths' of cultivation and three sets of terms for their tiers (maybe more after some more fleshing out for them). The world also seems rather large with exploration possible locations name dropped for the MC when he gets stronger or somehow wanders his ass over there.
