The premise is interesting, the execution has some issues. The updates are sporadic, don’t buy priv., it’s a waste of money. The early chapters are fun, it was interesting seeing the MCs interacting with his mother. The FMC yandere tendencies are fresh for the personality. What is considered the young generation in the series makes little sense, being a student between the ages of 30-50 makes little sense. This is a transmog/reincarnation isekai and the mc doesn’t seem to exhibit much of his previous experience, at least not on a consistent basis. It gets worse in the academy arc.

I deleted the channel yesterday unfortunately.

As per discord Novel is now on hiatus. Author has no plans on ever coming back to it, due to personal issues.

I’m currently at chapter 1028. It’s rare that I get this far in a series and I start feeling that reading is a chore. No major spoilers but marking spoilers because I’ll touch on some elements. I’ll start with the Elements that will always pull me out of the story. Firstly throwing in characters like Jack Sparrow or the crew from One Piece, not even subtle about it, as welcome a sight as a dick in the locker room. Author did this in the first book as well. It takes away from an otherwise decent side story. This is a Harem story, but it would be nice if we could see the motivation of why these female characters are willing to share, though I suppose that’s rarely the point in these stories. What really pulls me out of the story is all these sex scenes. These issues might be non issues for most, but I mention them for people who would want to skip these stories. The biggest issue for me is that most characters are shallow, generally the female characters have nothing going for them other than being attached to powerful men. One of the few interesting characters, a minor character, is Lux’s adoptive grandmother. I’ve been paying for priv since day one, but today I’m removing the story from my library.

I was curious as to see if the book was really completed so I went and bought the last chapter. Author wrote that this was just the first arc in the authors note. So to win an argument he went and set the book as complete because he didn’t write anything in four months. At least nothing was posted on here. The short of it: Book is not really complete Book ignores minor and seemingly major events Book places children in situations that don’t make sense. If these are issues for you then you should skip. If not then go ahead and read, Webnovel has books for every taste

Strange Webnovel didn’t have the story marked has complete for me, it had not updated in four months. That is weird. I criticized the story itself and you attacked me. It’s not a lack of critical thinking that had me questioning how someone who seemed to come from a loving home and was wholly dependent on his mother for life, was able to get his hands on enough funds to purchase what seems like a major peice of tech. Not just that but also the callousness with which that he took his own life. Honestly I thought this was going to pay us off later in the book, either through introspection or something else. It was very strange to me how he was able to love his new parents so easily. I mentioned the perversity and plot points that seemed not to go anywhere, keep in mind I stopped reading during the guild quest, during the character creation bit it’s mentioned that the expedited creation which is used could have adverse effects. Nothing seemed to have happened and also during the process, one of his attributes was perversion. The issue was less with this perversion and more with it feeling forced. From your reply perhaps you’d benefit from beta readers, it seems that what you may perceive as unimportant others might not. I’ll also touch on the point I made of people that should know better putting children in situations that they shouldn’t be involved in. The father sending his son on an errand where he needs to drag a bag to the guild office. It was to heavy for him, this made little sense to me. Why would a Adventuring guild send a bunch of unranked kids to survive against a bunch of S rankers, generally in similar stories the unranked or F rankers are sent to pick herbs or kill rats to prove themselves before gradually being given more responsibilities.

From the very first chapter where MC suicides more or less, you start questioning the story. Why would someone dependent on his mother for 100% of his needs be able to order a suicide machine without his mother seeing the charge go through. The author has many instances plot points that either don’t go anywhere or are questionable. Author is forcing a perversion angle that has little basis in the narrative. Also putting the MC in situations that responsible people wouldn’t put someone his age into. Last thing I started reading was the MC starting a test to become an adventurer, where the organizers are essentially send this testees to guaranteed deaths. It just doesn’t make sense, also no releases in 4 months.

I took a couple of weeks to think about the story as whole The quality is there, it’s improved after the first book and it was good back then. I want to touch on a few things that a new reader might want to know. The author has a style of writing that feels bleak, he doesn’t go for a happy, optimistic setting. You need to know this going into this story. The other major thing that I felt reading the book was my dislike of the main character. He had very little positive things going for him, but he was designed that way, he’s not a villain mind you. I believe if you don’t have issue with these two points then you’ll likely enjoy the story.

Nah it’s still there

The translation is top notch, I didn’t even know it was a translation. At least 3 chapters translated a day so that’s a perfect score on stability. The most important thing to consider when choosing to read this is whether or not you can read a spoof of cultivation novels, you can’t take the thing seriously. That being said most characters are not very deep. Everything that happens furthers the premise of the story where the MC can’t die, this leads to some serious face slapping and shamelessness. It’s honestly surprising that I find the story as fun as I do.

This is review for the first 36 chapters. Barely introduced to the story but I’ll attempt a review. author mentioned the obvious comparisons to HP and sure there are some similarities but replaces the childishness with a bit more maturity. We’re meeting some potentially interesting characters. We have the bones of world that could bring the story up a few levels. I’ve never really been a fan of a world where mere words were all that was needed to cast spells, but there isn’t enough story to determine the nuances of spell casting yet. I’ll write a better review in 70 chapters

Apparently Author is going through some personal things. Will eventually start writing again. How soon I have no clue
