    Ten chapters and I can’t read this anymore. It’s just too tedious to go through and the ideas are not so original that I would want to stick . Good points : - The grammar is okay - The reason for the transmigration is stated and not thrown aside - The mc’s goal is stated early enough Bad points : - The pace is slow and the writing style is so plain that it’s hard to care about what happens. - The ideas are not executed in a unique enough way and even the transmigration reason is a bit cliche - The mc doesn't seem to have any personality ( I'm sorry but no. One doesn’t need to read hundreds of chapters to get an mc’s Persona. When a book is really well written , the first two to three chapters are enough to reveal your mc’s personality. ) - For someone who loved his sister so much I think the Mc didn’t try enough to look for ways to be reunited with her( don’t know if it’s still the case in the future chapters though.) - The plot doesn’t seem all that promising May God help you with your next book author.

    I'm dropping this book. But not for the reasons one would expect. In fact , the story is well-written . The characters I have seen so far( except Amelia) are interseting( even elizabeth’s adopted children), the plot is slowly uncovering and the aventure promises to be exciting! But that said , this book just has too many pet peeves of mine for me to be willing to continue. First , the annoying female companion trope. Really they are not cute! To me they just mess up good books . And the fact that they are reoccuring characters makes it even harder for me to get through a read when such a character is in. Second , the " oups! It’s an opportunity for the perverted ones~" trope. Creating situations to sexualize Mc or other characters just doesn’t sit well with me . It’s not funny, it doesn’t sevre the plot , it takes away some of the charisma of the characters... So I just don’t understand the reason why so many authors like this! As of chapter 23 , there had only been two such scenes. But it was enough for me to understand that the author would continue in the same way. Third ,"all the main girls are sexually/romantically interested in Mc "trope. This is the major reason why I'm dropping this . Seeing as they are in the characters sheets , I get that Elizabeth and amelia are proeminent characters in the story. But it’s such a shame that the author made them both interested romantically in the Mc( or is at least headed this way). That’s why whenever I try to read further and I see Elizabeth is involved , I' m just unable to continue because my heart aches at the sight Of the big wasted potential she is. Can’t there ,for once, be a female main character who is not the mc’s love interest but has a great friendship with him? Neo and Elizabeth 's first meeting , ignited this hope in me. But then they went to sit naked in the divine pond and it just showed the author's intentions. It’s not a bad thing . It’s the author 's choice . The problem lies with me so I'm only expressing my feelings so that others with such pet peeves can be fixed on what to and what not to expect. Aside from all that , I still recommend this strongly to anyone the afore stated things do not annoy. And for the author :May God bless your writing journey !

    I hope they become friends not lovers . Their relationship would be so wholesome if it were the case.🥹

    I really hope he doesnn tget in a romantic relationship with amelia( because she's dense and annoying) or Elizabeth ( because their curent relationship doesn’t need to be romantic. I believe it will be more wholesome if they are just friends or in a mother-son kind of dynamic. Also I don’t like their age gap).

    Whaoued then disappointed. This sums up my relationship with this book. At first( and even now), I really liked it. But now ,there  are just too much things I don’t like about it  to go any further. Pros : - The writing quality is great( I do not remember spotting any mistake). - The plot is intriging and the story is full of mysteries and twists. - You can jump  chapters without worrying about being unable to understand. It’s not like the author is redundant with informations , but when you read an advanced chapter, even without having read tens of chapters prior to it , you can still get the key parts of what happened and where the story is headed . - The Mc  makes plans to get what he wants( and there are unforseen variables to mess it up) - Thank you author for not having written Aoife as a stereotypical tsundere-girl-who looks-down- on- the -Mc-first( I like how the author made her reflect about her own strengh  instead of making her antagonise Julien in every ways , even if she thinks he is unworthy of being the black star). - Jullien is not a sidekick kind of Mc. He is not obssessed with keeping Leon in the limelight( contrary to Ren dover which is one of the major reasons why I disliked the author’s pov). - The set ups are good( was looking  forward to Julien meeting 'his' family) - The author doesn’t info dump us like he did in his other book. Cons : - The writing style is too melodramatic. One of the story’s main themes is emotions. But I don’t feel the emotions the author write about when I read it. I think it’s because there are expressed in a long-winded and overdramatic way. And it doesn’t help that the author always puts Mc through gruesome sufferings . - The Mc is always " on the verge of dying". The author loves to write about how Mc is giving his all in this or that situation but it’s hard to care about it the way we should when it happens everytime. It’s to the point I just feel annoyed each time he says he is on the" verge of dying". Sure it’s motivating to read about an Mc who is hardworking and pushes back his limites. But when things are always the same : 1. It feels like you do not progress at all 2. It’s emotionally taxing to read about someone's misery every chapter. 3.If there are no major / irreversible drawbacks to pushing oneself so hard , it just feels like plot armor. Moreover , the pace the author chose makes the reading experience even more tiring. -The rythm of the chapters is not that dynamic( in backstories especially). The book's pace is not a problem in general because there are many action scenes ( training or combat) and   we discover characters or hidden informations etc etc. But when we get into backstories... This together with the writing makes it hard to care( aside from Jullien and Leon’s backstories, the others just felt too tedious to read through). It doesn’t help that some characters are just far too less interesting to me , for me to read / care about their past( Delilah I'm sorry). -The characters feel a bit shallow. There is character growth for leon , jullien ,delilah, Aoife and kiera. But it doesn’t feel compelling to me. Maybe it’s because of the fact that Julien doesn’t interact with them much and in a meaningful enough way for it to feel real. I don’t really know. But they all( even julien) lack a little something to feel true. There are also characters like evelyn whom i and the story do not care about . - No breathing room between arcs: After each battle arc, there is... Another battle arc ! The only arc  that can be considered a resting one is the theater arc( and even if it wasn’t as high as in other arcs , there was tension ). I believe an arc can still be interesting even if the tension is not that high. Also , one of my most hated tropes is used during an entire arc: amnesia!!! - The power system  is strange : I don’t get why julien does not get any exp when he makes jokes. Conclusion? I think it’s a good book; just not my cup of tea
