A clumsy attempt at writing a novel. Don't get me wrong, I liked the concept and I've been waiting for it to get more chapters before reading, but now that I've read about 50 chapters I'm just disappointed and dissatisfied. It has a unique interesting idea and throughout the story you can see what the author wanted to characters to be like. (Like how MC can do things impossible to do with qi cultivation or how a green haired mommy is a playful sugar mommy) The main problem with this story: 1- Exposition is not done properly. Author doesn't know what to give more information about and what to skip. Noah basically has no personality here while his previous body owner has a set personality, or how author kept using flashbacks at the start, or how we have no info on the Mage god Noah, or how we got too many useless info about irrelevant things. this is mainly cuz author doesn't know how to properly show us what he wants us to see. 2- Characters have messed up personalities. It feels like author just wants to add scenes he read in other works and wanted to have them attached to certain characters. (Noah is supposedly ruthless but acts kind to who he wants to. But here everytime he acts he's either flirty or teasing and when he has his moments it's not that cool, It just doesn't reflect an old man who's filled with wisdom.) (There's also mommy, she's supposedly mature, but she got over her sons death and gets blushing by Noah from day 1, there's no development, she's still getting over her loss, why would she feel a tingle in her heart just from some kindness? She's not naive, she's mature. So it doesn't make sense.) The relationship and feelings they feels towards each other just feel forced. 3- Author is dragging out what could be over and done long ago. He's adding new enemies just for the sake of it. A lot of elements here are pointless and don't add to the story. Dear author, think thoroughly before adding pointless drama and pointless info, would any of this be relevant after 30~60 chapters? I think not. It's just for added drama, but that just makes it as boring and cliche as other cultivation works.

Read till chapter 32. I'm disappointed and dissatisfied. I saved this story in my library since it first came out (only had about 15 chapters at the time). why? Because I liked the idea of a faithful power couple that are op with a nice dynamic. Now I finally figured it's time to read it, but I'm disappointed. MC is not even MCing, he's basically a sidekick and is boring, I'd love a twisted mc which was portrayed at the start but after 10 chapters he's pathetic. His decisions aren't that bright, and some events just made me want to quit. [Example spoiler: when he gets a free wish in the roulette, I thought he was gon ask for something long lasting that will be a cornerstone for his strength like a growth type skill or a useful talent, something like Regeneration or siphon or something, But no, he asks for a stupid one time use doll that takes a fatal injury in his place! stupid choice] Harem really made me not even want to read the story, cuz it took away the only reason I decided to save it in my library (power couple), but I gave it chance thinking that it will happen later on. But, it's only been a few chapters and I can tell that author is setting up mc to be together with mama Isabella. Seriously author? I believed you in your review that there's a reason, but now it just feels like you'll force a reason to make a harem possible. and her kid is always sleeping just to avoid having to deal with him? Finally, the plot is fast paced, but it feels like we're not going anywhere.

Update: I reached chapter 252 and now I'm dropping this story. Main problem is the romance. The relationship between mc and male lead is super forced + male lead is the type I hate. Male lead is the exact template of every other CEO type. All status and no personality. author, why force mc to like him? male lead gets angry when mc does certain things and gets jealous when mc doesn't give him attention, but when its looked at from mc's pov, he's just someone she was forced to marry, and she didn't care for him, all interactions between them were not positive, so by what right should the male lead get jealous or angry? and the worse part is that the mc is falling for him for no reason. Spoiler: the relationship between mc and elf lady is natural and was built step by step, I actually enjoy their interactions and wouldn't mind them getting into a relationship. But the male lead is just annoying, it feels like he's just here as a trophy (the big strong dominant baddie). MC is not weak, she doesn't need him nor was there any development between them, so why force their relationship into love? this is just stupid. and don't get me started on that scene where he gets jealous and uses a spell while she sleeps and he gets to do all kinds of stuff to her in her dream, just a huge red flag. and worse yet is that she blushes and likes it? that's just hella forced. by the way, the male lead does things like: - doesn't care about mc at the start - she does something and he goes "interesting, you caught my attention" - he stalks her after getting interested - gets jealous and petty over things he has no right to get jealous over - gives her a ring out of nowhere (as a sign of love) when there wasn't any development between them (simply delusional) I bet that in the later chapters he will see her naked or gets angry that she did something and then say "you tempted me, so bare the consequences" and then will rape her and she would develop more feelings for him.

I'm impressed. my first impression was bad, but then i fell for the story. - From beginning to the start of the academy, is boring as stated in the cons below. - From the start of the academy and beyond it gets better, and you're only left with the character being dense and foolish (I didn't find fault with it). - From chapter 55 or so it gets better overall and character personality is clear and better, and everything picks up. Pros: - great writing quality, with direct and to the point writing style. - great story progression overall, after the first boring chapters I just binged through it all till chapter 290. - Characters are well written. - I liked the direction of the story and where it's heading. Cons: - First off, the first 10 or so chapters are beyond boring, as in the writing itself is boring. very limited interaction between characters and info is spoon-fed to us, (example, the relationship between mc and his master, i never felt the weight of their bond and thought mc didn't care, but later on it turns out he cares deeply). - Too direct and reveals are sudden with no build up. it happened many times where secrets are just suddenly revealed. [SPOILER EXAMPLE: the first direct reveal that i found underwhelming is when ivika revealed mc's secret just like that as if nothing happened, even if that scene was planned to be direct, I'd rather have a build up, cuz I hated ivika from this moment, but then i started to like her] - Long fights when it's not needed, or long arcs when it's not needed. this became apparent in the tournament arc, from chapter 300 to chapter 380 just for a tournament is crazy. It doesn't add anything to the story to have all that detail with each match detailed and having multiple chapters to cover each round, it felt like a filler. i skimmed through it. - MC should be calculative and cunning, and while i can see that but it's only shown when he's dealing with his harem. I don't see any noteworthy strategies when he dealt with anything outside his harem. he just plans like any normal mc.

A novel heavily inspired by The Author's Pov. The settings are almost the same. It's an enjoyable read at the start, I read till 200 and gave up. I'm dropping it. WRITING: it feels like autocorrect messed up words, also the punctuations are placed wrongly. Noteworthy examples that break me "where/were/we're" author never gets it right. Some sentences are unreadable. PLOT: author adds things and changes things mid story, lots of useless characters introduced that have no added value to story, plot changes and information changes cause plot holes(SPOILER: at the start mc gets knocked from using a move and Sabrina gets a reward which is his soul for saving him and she gets it for the reason that mc will get possessed by abyss but the original owner had him take over for the purpose of this not happening, so it's all on big plot hole at this point), confusing reveals (where author had to add a note to explain what's going on separately). MC never actively trained to level up since entering the academy, and it's getting on my nerves, I understand the reasoning, but it's crap. It just feels like author forgot about it or didn't want MC OP all for extra drama. CHARACTERS: Traits given to characters are meaningless most of the time, example: MC is written as if he's a siscon, but from all the scenes with his sister it's clear that it's a mediocre relationship. Other characters were introduced as important but don't add value to the story and are one dimensional (I just can't care about them).MC: I like the mystery of MC, I just don't like the inconsistent personality (I know why it changes, but it felt as if the author just wanted a fun mc suddenly, or other times wanted a stoic mc, and so he added a reason for it). Fights: MC just uses spear when he should be super mana prodigy. big minus.
