I gave a 3 for writing quality because its decent. Some things need to be reread twice but nothing horrible. 4 for Stability of Updates honestly just because I haven't read it in a while and had a stockpile going. 1 for Story development because of overuse of switching viewpoints that drag the story on. Its like Im watching an Indian drama where something happens and I need to see the viewpoints and reactions of every single character there. Something happens to the mc and we get this flashback and then another flashback for the other character and if another character happens to be in both in the flashback and in the scene then they also get a flashback even though its the same material. It gets really irritating reading this when One second i'm reading what the mc is doing and abruptly it changes viewpoints. This I wouldn't normally have a problem with but its done sooooo many times. Then you get a change in viewpoint to something that has already happened to the mc but earlier in the story from a side characters point of view. lots of information is being reiterated and Im paying to read content that i've already read. 4 for character design because I do like the characters that are in this story and even though i did say that the problems in the story development part makes it hard for me to continue reading it, it does add to the characters and gives them more life than what i've read in other stories. If the author could stop the repetition, stop the over use of flashbacks and switching viewpoints and progress the story clearer than I'd really enjoy it a lot more. 4 for world background. I think the author did well in showing the world the characters are in as they go from one area to another. Overall I would say read it, its good and the characters aren't 1 dimensional from what I read so far. I will probably continue reading it when I don't have anything else to read only for the reasons I put in the story development part so far.

this novel is just so good, credit to the author. the writing quality is amazing. the story development is super good and it will always surprise it's readers. the characters design is not bad, but I personally don't like the mc's personality. the world background is also good. the only thing that I didn't like is how slow the story was going in the first 40 chapters.

What can I say, this novel is a hidden gem among the cliche piles of wuxias and some boring isekais which are simply copy of each other. Here we got nothing but the fresh air in form of perfect writing, world building (which comes much later in the story), and character interactions. Also their stories and many moooore. All you need to do is... Get past the first few chapters since indeed it will seem slow after all the typical webnovel stuff. And adapt to this pace of detailed surroundings and process. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Got to chapter 5. Absolutely bored to freaking tears. I think the author has a great ability to write but there’s a tonnof inconsistencies with how the real world works. this whole being “chosen” and taking a subpar job offer when its stated he had multiple competing offers is so dumb. No person would even waste their time to be so insulted. Also, the team put together is so completely irrational and shows the author has never worked for a professional company that had made teams work together to accomplish a goal. Even real life archeologists dont have to deal with pseudo science personality trait testing bs ON THE JOB. Its irresponsible and downright offensive to the team members for the way the information was/wasn’t shared between each member. its just so stupid and im literally 5 chapters in with nothing exciting. ??????? Even a prologue or something showing some level of excitement wouldve kept me engaged. i guess you also intended for this to be more character driven instead of story driven. youve got too many murder mystery style elements for the overworld arching story to be the focus. Personally dislike this kind where the drama is between characters rather than man vs environment/world. idk i thoudght this would be an isekai with magic and stuff too but no sign of it by chapter 5. Not worth the waste of time.

Shameless Author here, with a shameless review. I wrote a novel recently, which is Call of Ring. It was my very first attempt at writing, and there may be some mistakes and errors in it, but I still feel extremely proud of it and enjoy it thoroughly. Please give my story a try and leave some comments for me. Thank you! https://rb.gy/5s05wc

So far, I liked the story. The detailing and character background are nice. The best thing is the writing style and the way the story keeps on unfolding. Keep up the good work.

Overall great book, an interesting crew getting deeper into mysteries that bring them into a fantastic setting, character development and design is pretty good, very very consistent and realistic. I would say that only the pacing gets quite out of place when you are going into and out of action and having very glaring cliff hangers that can take one or two chapters to finally see the end off, it's quite grating and even with all the nice and good writing it made me stop reading for a while due to getting out out of the immersion everytime the setting changes to a backstory in the middle of a climax... I understand it is important and will be nice character development but please don't ruin the climax and expectation to introduce it too soon... you can take your time with it once it all goes down instead of constant interruptions. Still I would recommend it if you got the patience to get past this issue, read a lot of stuff and this keeps bringing me back even with the pacing issue!

I guess this novel is supposed to be character-driven, not story-driven and this isn't my particular cup of tea. Overall, plot advances at slooooow pace, at least in the first chapters, with weird occasional flash-backs and historical excursions for world exposition. I take it the story is going to be isekai, but I did not get to that part, honestly. The writing style is too flamboyant for me, with animesque character interaction and bizarre world/setting contrivances. Say, when putting the exploration task force together FOR ARCHAEOLOGY, the higher ups also decide to play weird psychology matching game by limiting team leaders information about his subordinates; or, MC is blindly following his academia's assignment to a supposedly failed dig site, as if he can't disobey his liege decree, even though he is displease with the assignment and have many competing offers, and there are many weird logical inconsistencies like that. Basically, the author tries to create mysteries out of mundane things (like hidden secret "They" benefactors who "chose" people to find "hidden secrets" - really this is like a Harry Potter book), and it looks silly.

This Novel seems to be written by an experienced author or a professional one. Can't say more but I got a peculiar feeling that this novel is good and a hidden gem. Whoever you are, you're a genius author.

Honestly, im only around chapter 7 so far, but im already questioning when its going to pick up... From a writing standpoint, its good. Great even, but the author seems to REALLY be taking their time with getting this into motion, as it seems so far like the first 10 chapters are JUST introduction to the prologue, with a lot of repeated ideas that imo go into unnecessary detail. Idk man, I just dont know if i have the patience, especially when the (i assume) actual main story that the idea is centered around doesnt properly start for around 40 chapters. I guess we'll see though, and because it has promise im going to try to stick with it.

There’s not many books with this concept (archaeology) combined with an isekai vibe, so i applaud the author’s originality 😍 hope you can make more books like this, Ms. Chainslock!

I’ve been reading the other book (sustaining the king’s life) and switched to this. The transition from male lead to female lead is an enticing experience! The author is amazing to do both at the same time. There are a tenses issues but i believe it can be fixed by thorough proofreading. Overall greatjob
