1. The name Julien feels a bit strange to me, and it's inconvenient to read (I’m reading through a browser with Google Translate translating the novel into my native language since the app translates incredibly poorly and sometimes deletes paragraphs of text during translation. After translation, the name looks like a hard-to-pronounce French name). I hope the character is called something else later on; it’s not a big problem, just an inconvenience. 2. A damn cliffhanger in chapter 4—moments like these are why I leave novels until at least 100 chapters have accumulated. 3. So far, I like the plot, especially the fact that he didn’t pretend to be that woman’s son from the start. That’s a huge plus. 4. I’m one of those who read "VSOL" up to the ongoing chapters, and I enjoyed it. I’m waiting for the continuation, and I’m really glad the author isn’t abandoning that novel to start this one.
I haven’t finished reading Chapter 6 yet, but I’m already here to complain. Seriously, why is the main character like this? Throughout these chapters up to the sixth one, he feels like an analogy to a kid under the Christmas tree, opening his presents, overly excited, while his system is like an uncle who gave him the gifts and is explaining what they are and how they work. Seriously, he’s way too carefree. Then there’s the fact that after reincarnating, he didn’t even bother to simulate the behavior of the previous consciousness that was in this body. To everyone around him, he suddenly went from being a serious and mature guy to an overly excited child. I can’t judge the entire novel based on just six chapters, but it’s a bit disappointing.
Everything is written so strangely; there are many events happening at once, yet it feels like nothing is really happening. It lacks so many details, and the main character comes across as foolish because of his actions. For example, in the first chapters about the summoning: he’s summoned but doesn’t even notice, doesn’t realize he’s in a huge castle instead of a classroom, introduces himself without noticing he’s standing away from his classmates, and then there’s no description of his thoughts on being summoned or suddenly being in another world. He starts analyzing the people around him and the king, but no real information about his analysis is provided. During his first night in the castle, we get nothing about how he got there, his thoughts, nothing. Then this fox character shows up, and everything becomes too random. It feels like trying to retell a dream but without remembering enough details, creating a jumbled mess of random information. That analogy perfectly describes the first chapters of this novel, and I won’t be reading any further.
At first, it was very interesting and new, but over time, his indecisiveness became irritating. He wants his aunt to see him as a man and not a child, yet he continues to act like a child himself.
In this chapter, the author forgot that Mc stayed at the hotel and not at home.
LOL
Not every woman he could have sex with should be his; it would only be done for the sake of power. I predict that soon some super strong people will show up at his door, whom he won't be able to defeat due to a lack of strength, and to prevent that, he needs to increase his power somehow. I'm not saying that the way you've written his character is bad, but it irritates me to no end when the MC has the opportunity and potential to become stronger if he changes his mindset, but he doesn't. Also, you have no excuse for the situation with his vow of abstinence; it was just done because. After reading Cultivation Online, I've already lost all patience for such plots, but I wish you all the best.
The novella is good, but it contains something that irritates me endlessly in novellas: the author gives the main character incredible potential, but he doesn't use it fully. This is the most annoying thing one can see in a novella, and it's also the reason I lost interest and stopped reading. The main character often repeats that he needs to get stronger as soon as possible, and he has the opportunity to surpass all the cultivators on Earth in, well, a week or two at most. Here's how he can do it—two ways that the author, for one reason or another, doesn't use or ignores, explaining it with dumb reasons. The first way, of course, is to have s** with Xia Shenyi, but he foolishly doesn't do it because of some promise he made when he was naive. And now, even after realizing how much he needs power, he still uses this stupid and incredibly annoying excuse. The second way is something anyone can figure out after reading about his physique's abilities, and that is s** with virgins. With his money, looks, and strength, he could have s** with hundreds of girls in a week and raise his cultivation to the world's peak. And as for his seed allowing people to become cultivators? Who cares? Without techniques and help, these women wouldn't be able to become cultivators anyway. So, the only thing standing between him and power is his stupid restrictions, because of which, 100% someone close to him will suffer in the future. I'm not saying he should go out into the streets and find them one by one. He could have used a brothel, which could have made for an interesting storyline. He could have also used that sect of some flower people, whose master he saved in the ruins. There are plenty of opportunities, but they aren't being used.
This is exactly the type of novel I’ve been searching for a long time and couldn’t find. This novel is just what I like, but the only downside that disappoints me is that the 18+ chapters are too short. Yes, they are frequent and well-placed, but there are moments when I get really excited reading a certain chapter, and then in the next chapter, there’s no continuation, and I feel really disappointed. The author should keep the same style but occasionally make the 18+ chapters longer and more detailed. I’m not saying that every 18+ chapter needs to be longer, but sometimes, when more interesting characters or situations appear, like in the chapter with (SPOILER) the wife and daughter of his vampire subordinate, it would be nice to see more depth. I hope the author sees my comment and considers extending similar chapters in the future.
Chapter 113-114... utter foolishness, complete foolishness. 1. He knows perfectly well that you can't leave the sect until you reach the peak of the earthly kingdom. He does it, fine, but why the hell does he openly show his stupid face to the whole damn city right after leaving? There could be informants from the sect who could get him into unnecessary trouble. 2. Oh, it gets worse, he knows you can't show your dragon to anyone because they'll likely start hunting them, and what does he do? FLIES ON HIS STUPID DRAGON OPENLY ABOVE THE CITY TO HIS PARENTS' HOUSE thereby revealing both his identity and his connection to the dragon. (But flying over the city wasn't enough for him, he also had to meet with the elite of this damn city to talk and once again put himself in danger due to revealing his identity) Honestly, up until this point, there were very, very few complaints about this novel, and only this event blew my mind with stupidity.
