It was going off as nice as one would expect from a novel of this particular style and combo but then when the Marquis came and took his sister hostage but then the Marquis wasn't killed was dumb. The fact it gets blown over is mid, and made me drop the novel.
While this has been really interesting I feel the protagonist's iq is really below average. He went to the spirit city ran into the golden trio and expected no one would react when he looks exactly like bibi dong as a child and male. Why wouldn't he expect them to look for him? The fact he was able to escape and not a single Soul Doulu came to grab him, or Bibi Dongs notorious style of sending Crysanthemum Doulu out to grab him, specially if he looked like her. As it would've taken seconds for him to reach Ye Hao. So while this novel has potential I find it lacking and therefore dropping. As over 70 chapters in and we haven't hit the funny Bibi Dong interaction.
While it seems to be not that bad, I've never found forced punishment and systems to be a good story mechanic. It just makes everything forced specially when it involves a person's privates. This could've been better but it is what it is.
I feel like people are being generous, while this story has an interesting concept and execution I find myself like many others searching for the main character in what feels like a Sahara desert of writing. Nothing really changes, and instead of listening to the fans or even just adding a bit more. He focuses heavily on 'world building' there isn't much to build for him as he's copying for the most part straight from transformers. Then the other factor I find is that he while posting daily, posts the smallest chapters you'll find on this site.
While the story starts off fine, and progresses semi fast semi slow, it has a good breath of development. The only issue is how he is somehow always at the right place and right time to pick up everyone and anything. Then the whole riser power boost spit shining was beyond stupid, as he should've just cubed and killed riser with the shrine. The fact it evolved to riser gaining powers with god tier comprehension made little to no sense. While an ambitious take on the pieces given, they're assembled like a broken jigsaw puzzle.
As a story it has plenty of lore and flow, it may jump a bit weirdly and come off a bit sluggish. But my main issue is the grammar and choice of words making it feel what could be an amazing story clunky. The main character does seem to brown nose a bit to much, but otherwise a refreshing dynamic.
I feel like these pass few chapters could've been a single chapter. But the chapters feel shorter and are just saying the same information from multiple points of view and stuff. It's stalling for content.
Honestly quite mid, the chapters have been fine and all but this cliche possession stuff that throws all normal plans out the window just doesn't feel good. I'ma have to drop as possession is bad, and it's ruined the storyline for me. He's quite literally exposed the Kamen Rider to a place that has known spies for a lot of orgs and now it's known to everyone.
Overall it's a decent novel that puts to shame some of the others I've read from Chinese authors. The main issue outside of the poor translations are the things that aren't named correctly and that there are multiple 5 star ratings that are bot copy paste ai stuff as they all say the same thing but in a slightly different way using larger words then 95% of the other reviews you can find on normal novels.
It's not the worst one that I've read but it could use some warnings like heavy AU or off the rails plotline. Or something like condensed plot. As the Harry Potter world had it's story merged down to a month or less of what should've had at least 6-8 months worth of content. Which could've kept the same with time skips. Or by not 100%ing the side missions. Feels kinda bad when authors break plot lines in order to complete all their side quests they make for the points they'll end up using to make stuff overpowered.
