Reviews of Tempest of the Stellar War by Skeleton Wizard - Webnovel

yes 😂 play games 🎮 with data military action

TLDR; Overall the novel fools you into reading meaningless back to back battles for 90% of the novel. So many filler battles My new review after finishing reading this novel. Here's the setting of the story as how I can infer it cause the author doesn't talk in exhaustive detail. Basically the ancient Chinese cultivators from Earth with their techniques and tech conquer the Milky Way Galaxy millennia before the story takes place with every human despite millennia of separation all(about 99%) share Chinese names as if China conquered Earth cleansing all other ethnicities for one ethnicity. Most named characters have a personality and the progression of the MC is satisfying. But after finishing reading this I can say about 90% of the novel is just the MC participating in Tournaments and anything outside of that like "Wars", training, or spending time with friends amount to a dozen or two chapters each time the MC takes a break from the tournaments which each can take up to almost 100 chapters which can get old fast, so I started skipping chapters for any other team or teamate that wasn't the MC as it didn't matter honestly. Until the last few rounds of the last tournament the MC is always looked at as the underdog just, so he can without fail cause an upset when he thrashes his opponent inevitably as the MC in this novel is never supposed to lose and even the author sets up a sure-fire lose for the MC the MC gets a lame-a*s plot armor to save him. Towards the last 100 chapters the author finally had enough and set the pace of the novel at light speed where after being quasi-heaven rank struggling and cheating death when being ganked by a group attack of 4 slightly weaker ops and getting railgunned from orbit he gets plot armored where after single-handedly holding off an invasion with his op last resort godly mech he hibernates to enter heaven rank where even being a new Heaven rank was able to effortlessly slaughter 3 opposing Heaven rank mech pilots with the reason being he understood a realm no other Heaven rank could making him "unfathomable" and feared by every other nation all within.

Some bad translations here and there. Every character has some personality that makes them stand out. There's occasionally some smooth brained face slapping incidents. Pretty satisfying rate of progression in MCs power. So, basically humanity with aid of "cultivation techniques" and tech has colonized most of the Milky Way Galaxy forming a number of Alliances, Federations, and Empires with the Solar System Federation made up of Earth, the Moon, Mars being the metaphorical center of Humanity's power. But due to some Galaxy Wide phenomenon caused by the balance of the galaxy being broken cultivation techniques went inert causing cultivators to lose their powers and go insane dying. Powers that weren't apart of the cultivator class stole the cultivation techniques hoarding them for their families and organizations. Moving on there's is some funny happenstances where every power that colonized parts of the galaxy building their own Empires over the course of thousands of years during the "Interstellar Voyage Era" are ALL ancient cultivator families hence 9/10 of the names for Humans throughout the entire Galaxy have Chinese names and if not then its some abbreviated version of a Chinese name or a nickname. Are we supposed to infer that the Chinese are the only ethnicity of the human race? Though looking back I remember an incident around chapter 500 on Titatitan Star where MCs " the 36D"(that's her nickname no cap) female squad lead was being harassed by a "dark-skinned" guy. What I'm getting at is that the MC could be meeting a human who originates from a power many light years away from Earth with genetic diversity that's been separated from Earth for many millennia's and still have a Chinese name. What, did the Chinese conquer all of Earth cleansing all so that only the Chinese remained lol? In the story whenever Earth is talked about it's always "mysterious" this or "ancient techniques of Earth" that like only the Chinese culture exists and is acknowledged on Earth.

The MC has so much plot armor, that it is already anoying. All the fights are the same. The MC wins the day, is being portrayed as someone with godly skill and all of that only 150 chapters in, while he has supposedly only the most basic powers.

TLDR; Great start. Slowly falls down in quality. Crappy romance. Rushed ending. This is a novel to avoid. I have read author's other work Tempest of The Battlefield which was also pretty crap but this one had a better start. It sadly became apparent that author was still stuck on his way. Now then, the first problem is the MC. He is a strawman punching bag that exists to faceslap people. If done right it would have been good but author concentrated more on insulting the MCs rather than the faceslapping itself. It doesn't bring the satisfaction of the face slap most of the time. Add in the fact that MC is Japanese beta male MC, its the worst of both worlds. The romance is bad. FM falls in love at first sight. Crappy drama about status and shit. Even the romance of side characters are pretty bad. They get together and breakup for no apparent reason. Harem is fake and is just trying to bait people that like harem. Finally the story. Dropping it after IG tournament is probably the best decision because the story will retcon itself so much that any advantages MC had is turned irrelevant since everyone has them as well. Unique cultivation? Illegal app gives them for 10k. Super soldier? Easily trained. Mech that can only be used by aliens? Train enough to use them as well. The story and setting is eating itself alive to give the MC more challenges. Worst still are the fillers, it has so many throw away characters. MC and friends are also always the underdog no matter what OP shit they did before. The Tempest series is a disappointment and Battle Frenzy might also be the same. I am not reading anything this author writes anymore.
