Made it to chapter 2768 - oh boy...... The mc is basically somewhere between a psycho- and sociopath with ADHS, control issues and has a hobby as fulltime min-maxing internet-warrior that talks more about great stats than getting into real fights. He has to control everyone and everything. Countless characters get added, but they have no real depth/character or purpose- other then serving the mc. Even his two best "friends" are his servants and were not trusted till he had control over their lifes and deaths. None of the characters are treated as equals. The mc is constantly using, abusing, threatening people to get what he wants- even torture, violence and genocide is fine- but somehow he is a glorious hero admired by all. Really ??? After almost 3000 chapters there is no character-development at all. New characters constantly pop up and vanish as fast- after submitting to the mc ofc. Enemies get hyped up for how strong they are- just to get easily defeated by the mc. The mc is constantly op. The evil secret organization and big enemy in the shadow that is topic over thousands of chapters and supposed to be incredible powerful- all powerful figures basically get killed at once by the mc. The big evil plan that is supposed to doom the world for thousands of years gets stopped in days.... It is beyond silly... If "problems" pop up, they get solved a few pages later. Whatever the mc needs- he finds a few pages later. If the mc would need a nuclear weapon- he would find one at the marketplace as free giveaway..... There isn´t much story to speak of. Most of the novel consists of the mc building stuff and taking control of people - even if there is no point to it. No red line at all, constantly jumping from one thing to the next for no reason- like ADHS. The mc has seemingly no no goals- other than controlling everything for no reason. The chapters are filled with copy-paste infos about abilities and leveling up- even though there are almost no real battles- and if there are the mc always dominates with some new op feys, abilities etc. he just gained (surprise surprise), so 90% of the feys and abilities don´t get used... Hundreds of pages contain repetitive pointless explanations that add absolut nothing to the story-telling. On the other hand, the special abilities or history isn´t topic at all. He is a transmigrator, has 2 souls, a fey that is stronger than everyone else and a body and abilities that noone else has- no explanation needed, not need for the mc to find out about it.... There are countless transmigration-novels out there, but this handling of the topic is the worst I have seen so far. Why include transmigration in the novel at all if it isn´t supposed to be topic ??? the mc could just have been born with 2 souls... Even the consistency and logic is lacking. Example1: The mc takes over the Great Lush Federation. He is using violence to implement his own king, everyone not accepting this gets threatened/killed. The king is supposed to develop freely without much interference from the mc (because he is the good guy, right ;) ). This kingdom fully depends on overland-trade. The mc takes full control of it and gives the kingdom instead a harbor for international trading (without trading or ships going on at that point. so how do people survive ?). 2-3 years later, after the king invested lots of the countries resources into the enlargement of the harbor the mc is suddenly not ok with that country having 100% control of that harbor- even though it is on their territory and their only income left. The king gets threatened with death, loses 70% of the harbor and still sees the mc as benevolent character and hero and is happy... It is beyond stupid. Example2: peace is a homeless child that gets nurtured to rule a territory (for the mc ofc). Her wish is to find water and help herself and her people in a desert. She gets gets only feys to serve that exact purpose- water-production. But when she follows that way she gets dropped because she has no ambitions in other worlds.... She also suddenly sees homeless people as untrustworthy and dangerous - even though she was homeless for most of her life. There are countless more examples. Things are not thought through. Even names and numbers don´t add up. The mc is for example 18 years old, then 19, then 18 again, jumping back to 19 and 3 years later he is 21... Names of characters and factions get mixed up, explanations often make no sense and numbers get thrown around. For example: The war with the Iron Hammer federation. 10 million soldiers get captured by the mc, by himself ofc, then get turned from POWs to 1 billion inhabitants of the newly build city- with no wish to return. The Iron Hammer kingdom mobilized most of its people for the war, so should be pretty empty - but runs smoothly nontheless. The city has suddenly billions of residents- out of nowhere.... Trees grow 50.000 meters and animals are 20+ km big. Numbers just get thrown around and numbers mentioned before constantly change for no reason... [summa summarum: I really can not recommend this novel and do not understand how people can rate this highly... There are countless things you could use for rating a novel - but this one isn´t good in any aspect. The author seemingly doesn´t care about the quality and only cares about the quantity of pages- which doesn´t make a novel good

there is no power progression. There are almost no battles and the mc is always op- with one or 2 feys/abilities he just gained before the fight. The othr feys and abilities do not matter at all.

Edit: Dunno why it was arc 2 in my mind. I meant the End of volume 5 ofc, the whole winter-beast-thing. It was full with logical holes and sunnys behaviour didn´t match his behaviour shown before or after at all.... rereading that part still makes me wanna throw the book against the wall. Almost quit Shadow Slave back then... -.-

I am not a fan of the MC gaining godly powers. The novel was best at the point where the MC wasn´t that powerful at all and had to deal with all sorts of dangers, situations and characters to survive in a dangerous world full with adventure. The meetings were a bit boring and could have been skipped more. The story-telling, world setting and alot of the characters are great. The switch of setting and roles adds also spice and keep things interesting. In general this is one of the best webnovels I have read and one of the few that got me really exited to read the next chapter - but there is room for improvement. In my opinion it would have been better to start a new story without all the ranking/"leveling up" but with a similar/the same setting - so like harry potter but with this setting and an more brutal world for adults. The 18./19.- century-setting, following the demise of our modern society, in combination with mysteries and otherworldly stuff, outside the standard spell/magic-setting from fantasy-novels, was actually great. So 5/5 stars for the world background. There are other novels, printed books, with similar settings, that hat less depth (might me the number of pages though....). Regarding the story: I feel alot of build-up, world-building etc. was wasted in the end with the story itself falling behind. The whole end felt rushed and unfinished. The writing, design etc. was great- but it missed perfection. Still absolutely worth a read. Like I said, one of the best web-/online-novels out there :)

I don´t really like the MC being that OP, but in general it was still a good and entertaining read. Especially the weird/funny situations and character design saved this novel. If you have nothing else to read, go for it.

repetitive, OP character- No depth, no exiting stories or personalities. I dropped it after several thousand pages in. Seemed pointless to me to continue. It is btw. the same with the other novel from this author- it is the same all over. I do not get the high rating. This is not great work. It is mediocre at best.

I really don´t get the high rating of this novel. It gets nowhere close to Shadow Slave etc. There is no real character development or real story. You could read the first and last 50 pages and skip everything in between - you wouldn´t miss much. The MC is constantly OP- no matter what he does. Neither he nor any other characters have a real personality- other characters pop up and vanish as meaningless followers with emotions, intelligence and personalities of NPCs, meaning: none. The mother of his child has no meaning at all - at best she gets something from him. Same with his son- he is basically just the extension of the MC- to further show how OP the MC is, with his son also being OP, running around, using skills and talking right after birth.....riiiiiiight. The whole novel is based on leveling and rankings- with pretty much nothing behind it. AIs could create stories with more depth, emotions and excitement.... The whole setting is shallow at best. The character basically moves from bubble to bubble. He always meets characters a few ranks above him, dominates them, moves into the next bubble with some characters a few ranks above him, dominates them etc.- this goes on and on. Rinse and repeat or copy-paste. What happened to weak people with stories or characters far above him ? No matter what- the MC can do everything and is always the best- in everything. It feels silly, boring and like a waste of time. He just goes around spreading death to level up, no emotions, no challenges, no danger, no goals (other than leveling for no reason whatsoever). As if that isn´t enough- the little bit of character design that was done is also flawed. For example: the MC experienced how the water planet was destroyed- pretty much all living beings as well as the core with its own life got massacred. All the innocent people go down screaming, to their death- with the survivors in pain. Without any emotional involvement in the genocide whatsoever the MC goes after the culprits- why ? He befriends one- with no morale struggle. Afterwards he recruits her and seemingly instantly forgets what she did - slaughtering millions of innocent people....She was supposed to make up for her killing people - but just gets turned into his fallower, to kill more people.... With that lack of morale- why go after the culprits in the first place ? These are btw the only few pages with something resembling personalities, emotions etc.- so thousands of pages without even that... ;) Later the MC has zero problems destroying whole universes filled with innocents just to further level up- what is he even getting stronger for ? .. the destruction of all those lifes isn´t even a topic anymore when it is him doing it. really ??? I can´t take this novel seriously and it is the first I dropped after a long time. The writing itself is not bad- but everything else is. In general it is one of the worst novels I have read in a long time- if not ever. In my opinion the author should have ended the novel a long time ago and learned from it. Instead of improving the novel got worse over time with it getting even more focused on leveling up and everything else losing even the last bit of meaning- just serving as fillers in between [Upgrade]-notices.... Even real grinding of levels in games is more entertaining. So... to the readers: do not waste your time with this. To the author: improve and tell stories instead of spamming upgrade messages...

I have been reading this novel for a while. It is one of my favorites- currently only second to Shadow Slave. The world and characters are well build. The build of characters is somewhat realistic -meaning: no overly colourfull characters/not limited to only some specific personality-traits. There are no big enemies, fights, goals, no story of vengeance or shocking events. There is also no harem, but there are normal relationships. No constant pointless leveling, power-ups or OP-MCs - which is all great. It feels like a normal fantasy-novel you can buy in book-stores- but stretched out so that you can see more of the daily life. The story is in general really slow paced and the whole novel feels more like a slice of life. On the one side: it is relaxing to read it- on the other side: it won´t make you sit on the edge of your seat with the urge to continue reading the story as fast as possible. Sometimes I feel the whole story-telling slowed down too much over the years and the characters are not colourfull enough - neither will burn into your memories to be remembered for days/weeks/years. The overall writing is good though and it is a good read for in-between.

This novel is really well written and one of the best, if not THE best webnovel/online-novel currently out there. The Character Designs and World Building are great. The characters have different and interesting personalities. They change with the progress of the story and developments. The world is well build and makes it possible to sink into it. The Story Development is also good. Sadly I had to lower the rating for the story from 5 to 4 stars thanks to the ending of arc 2 (?) - the ending of the antarctic campaign felt like a brainf*rt from the author. It didn´t make any sense at all and destroyed alot of the build-up. The quality/logic-drop felt especially frustrating since the quality of the chapters released is in general very high- unlike most other novels published online this novel doesn´t need to shy away from a comparison to offline-books of well known authors. I just wish the author of Shadow Slave would rewrite that particular part- with the publication being online he has the unique chance to do so..... I have read the novel and I will continue reading it. I also reread huge parts- which says alot. I read alot - like (tens of) thousands of pages of novels every year and the books I reread, so far, have all been from famous authors like Rowling, Cornwell, Brown etc. Found the novel online and just registered here on the original (?) website to comment. Other comments with low ratings for this novel leave a bad taste in my mouth- especially with alot of other online-novels getting high ratings even though the writing is bad. I don´t get it at all. You can have a different taste, but you should be able to recognize great work. I get that Shadow Slave is written for online publication- but I can´t help feeling that it is a waste. I would have prefered to buy the hardcover-books in the store and add it to my collection. Big brainf*rts might also have been avoided with less pressure to publish new "chapters" every day, the money might have been better and the criticism more professional and just.....
