Horizon - Profile

Well you are in luck, because that’s all the book is about after chapter 180. It’s just constantly talking about his harem members, and there’s no support cast that isn’t, “possible harem member #” this story has the same cliched issue of “all friends are female, all villains and lackeys are male” there is not one single male character that is like a friend or respectable person. Everyone is a lackey or cheerleader for the MC.

At this point, the novel is just about his relationships and the $ex with his harem, with other stuff as side dressing. Like the author has spent more words describing how beautiful or how great the harem members smells/feel, than he does on the actual plot and events in recent arcs. I feel that there hasn’t been one arc where the author goes for more than 5 chapters without mentioning the MC and the harem doing something in bed. it’s tiresome and lazy. the good plot progression that was originally happening has slowed down to a crawl for this boring relationship diary on women who fell for the MC seemingly overnight and have the flimsiest relationship/chemistry. Another thing I dislike about this book is how the author fell into the same cliched habit of turning his character into this mute automaton. A lot of authors destroy their characters by making them be this silent person who rarely speak if it’s not face slapping. Like they think it’s cool to not speak and just have all the MC dialogue be his thoughts. If anyone acted like some of the MCs I’ve seen, including this book, people would think that they have some autistic traits. it’s just a boring lazy trait that makes MCs feel like cardboard robots that simply react to what’s happening around them without any drive or motivations outside of the most basic “get strong, protect harem”

Overall, I dislike almost all the characters in this story besides the MC. Each one is just constantly talking down the MC and his class. Even the supposed best friend is just constantly questioning him and acting as if he is some weakling despite already seeing how strong and smart he can be in a fight. This is the main issue with this story, the constant peanut gallery that for some reason needs to be given multiple chapters of worthless filler time. And this is further worsened by the fact that the author has this horrible writing style where after a situation occurs he goes back to the start of it but from the peanut gallery’s perspective. Its the most jarring thing and ruins the whole flow of the story because it feels disconnected and you are forced to try and figure out at what point in time this is happening. Another issue is how this story tries so hard to be some VR/game story despite already saying that it revolves around an apocalypse and human gaining powers. Like it feels like the author does not know where to take the story and is just mashing different things together. This results in super out of place or illogical world building aspects. Like for example, at the part I am writing this (ch 80) the MC is in a supposed competition for their school’s rank, but somehow, some way people in this stadium are unable to actually see what the competitors are doing or if they are struggling or not, they just see whether they left the rift/mission area they were assigned to. Like what type of competition is this? It had already been shown that it is possible to see into these mission areas so there’s no reason they can’t do so for this competition. Now the reason I’m harping so much on this one aspect is because even I (a reader) am not told what happens in this mission area! Like imagine, you are simply told how they went into a rift, what mission they got, and then have to scroll through dozens of paragraphs about the peanut gallery and how they look down on the MC, and then are just told the MC and his team somehow succeeded in their mission. Like no explanations or details, just a quick one paragraph blurb and it’s back to peanut gallery. This story is honestly frustrating to read because I feel that the system and premise could have been interesting, if it was actually written by a competent writer. I can’t in good conscience recommend this story to anyone. Like at most wait until it’s completed and read it then but don’t waste your time and coins trying to read this low tier work.
