Can you add mtl? Thanks
Status in COO: 2126 chapters (completed)Review after chapter 273:TRANSLATION: The translator has done a great job but sadly most chapters are unedited and even the edited chs are filled with mistakes. It's fine for me as I've cultivated the art of MTL reading for years. I'm a veteran in reading and believe me this "wall of text"(Liners instead of paragraphs) is not the worst. I think it's because translation was done sentences wise (a technique) and chapters are also unedited. Also The translation is very slow and at this rate it'll take years for its completion lol.MAIN REVIEW: UNDERRATED. I Read this because i love Snipers. My favorite is kar-98k & AWM btw. That's why A mc who's a sniper caught my eye, read this and wasn't disappointed. The story is great. Sometimes logical and sometimes also illogical lol. Not anything revolutionary but this novel at least kills your time. The mc and characters are also decent. You should read this if you've already read pretty much everything top recommended or vice versa.The main character is a decent guy. No edgy, stupid, cringe behavior, simping etc. Doesn't shy away from difficulties. MC is a great Strategist as he was in army. He's also logical and cares about his friends. But MC is too OP so if you hate Over-powered characters, then you know what to do lol. The side characters are also ok. You might find someone annoying but don't worry author doesn't delve much deeper in any character's story arc.OVERALL a good read for me. You may like it or hate it. I'll say just enjoy the narrative if you can or find something else to read. Recommend to read this though. You'll enjoy it (a bit at least?). Take care.NEGATIVES: The dialogue is cringe sometimes, specially when mc is conversing with women lol (practice dao of ignoring to tackle it). There are plot-holes in say game's achievements or mechanics (ignore this as you ignore "millions of li of distance" in LNs lol).
I understand everyones feelings about the no paragraphs in the earlier chapters. I would like to address this. Ppl say its the translators/editors fault but i was under the impression that when ranobes stole this book from another website that they messed up the structure of them few chapters. I would also like to add that all these chapter have been fixxed atleast as of chapter 9
Man, thank god I have a Text to Speech app, the first. 28 chapters are a single block of text making it completely unreadable. You can read up to chapter 12 on the mangas if you want a alternative.Spoiler Holy shit dude goes from 17th century black powder, 50% accuracy at 40 meters musket to a modern day sniper rifle shooting at over 1,000 meters, and now instakills!
Can someone spoil me who he ends up with?I don't want to get attached to the wrong heroine.
Korean novel and 2070+ chapter and have a manhua intresting
Hate when a story has an editor and they still put out crap. It starts out normally then you get chapters that are one paragraph.
Sorry if my english is bas...The story could be good...I'll never know since I had to give up. You know, there's a reason paragraphs exist. The first chapters are large blocks of text without any organization, which makes reading exhausting for the eyes. In the end I had to give up my reading because of my burning eyes. It's really cool to translate novels, but if it's to do shoddy work then move on and find another job, it's frustrating to have to abandon a story because of poor text organization by a beginner.
I believe this had a manhua named "Arcane sniper"; give it a shot if u liked the concept.
Thanks, I will try.
Beware the large wall of texts...

I didn't really care or find a vibe with this in the beginning despite having themes and elements I normally would enjoy, but it seems the Novel was on an upward trend becoming better and better. I lament that by the time I really started to enjoy myself, I realized I had run out of chapters.
Pretty good, not bad. Nothing extraordinary though. Very well written

A great novel, good and very enjoyable, a must read. Summary :- So let's start this Review with little talk about the world. World :- 20 Years ago people start getting Uniqe skills and getting throw in another world with a system. System currency in Karma, it doesn't matter if it's bad karma or good one. Karma in based of what changes or events you go through in another world and what was your role was in those changes. By collecting 1 Million Karma you can come back in world. At the same time you can use Karma to power up yourself. System give you 4 perks, 1 allowing you to upgrade unique skill, allow you to upgrade your stats(hp region, normal attack, defense etc), like a game repeating same thing will give you skills( all people who goes become genius cause of it) and last, stop your age as long as you stay in the world. Max time to stay in a world is 20 years, if you didn't have enough Karma by then to return you will lose your Uniqe skill, all buff from system and will age 20 years in one day as age stop will be removed and become stuck in world forever. Once you return to earth you will also lose system but still have all buff. Time difference in earth and other world is 1:10, 1 year in earth, 10 years in another world. MC :- MC is 20 years old guy who lost his parents 2 years ago and become shut-in. He got Uniqe skill avatar that allow him to create a copy of him. When he was about to send to another world he know he will die, as even with all system buff only 20% people return back to earth. He tried use his Avatar skill trying to trick system into believing his Avatar is real him so he can be safe. It works and Avatar send to another world, but MC mind can't take time difference and he cut summoning. By this he somehow trick system into believing he return to earth without system help, completing a great achievement, getting so high amount of karma and ability to travel between world he was send to, and earth. Mc is not extremely smart but he is also not stupid, so far (350 chapters) no romance has been shown, he just hide in a place and do everything using avatars so his life is never in danger, as he can cancel Avatar summoning his avatar are also not in danger unless they got one shot. ( so far only 1 avatar has died). Story wise it's very good, although most of time MC plan never fails and get what he wanted. The world building is amazing, to get karma he first create a problem and solve it later, creating a Demon King vs Hero story to get high Karma, one of MC avatar become very strong at start as demon king but he is still not the strongest as Many powerful people exist in earth, who because Hero in another world. The main point of this novel is world building as MC using his avatar explore the world, side character are not 2D and very life like with their own personality. And story is very good and you don't get board, all avatar has different personality as MC give each of them one of his personality. This story is solid 4.5/5.
In all world power system is different but for some reason one thing is accepted in all world, "Transcended ". It's like a power level that is accepted in all world. MC Avatars(Not in order of their creation):-1. Hans :- Demon King, Skeleton, Transcended using Immortal Heart and Concept of Death. (Strongest Avatar) 2.Hainz II :- Vampire, Transcended using Blood Evolution. 3. Hainsrich :- Human, Hero, Knight of Light, Transcended using Faith. 4. Harly :- Mutant, Transcended cause of Life evolution, Ultimate life form. 5. Harris :- High Elf, Transcended after become one with Nature. 6. Hubert :- Human, Marchant. 7. Haward :- Dwarf, Master Blacksmith. 8. Heron :- Human, Mage-Fighter. 9. Huge :- Human, Martial Artist(Murim World) 10. Horas :- Dragon, Last Golden Dragon. There was one more Avatar at start Name Hainz, he was the 2nd Avatar and only avatar of MC who died. MC later created 3rd Avatar and gave him name Hainz II.
Something interesting that I noticed, I was accidentally the first to comment on both the last day of the year and the first day of the year, in this comments session.

Trash novel?
After reading the TITLEMy mind: ANITA MAXX WYNNWWWWssss IN THEE SCHATSSSSS
Is there any novel where mc is rational like He is rank 1 and his enemy is rank 5 and he is going to kill his loved ones ,if he goes back he will also dies ,so he decides not to go back and hope for plot armor to kick on (Understand his ability and doesn't hope for miracle)
I don't understand why death wants to kill it's love life.

With fame and fortune promised to whoever is willing to fight for the sake of the world it doesn't seem like a bad deal, there's just one small problem. Ben wasn't blessed with any magic or combat skills, just crafting and enchanting. While the skills themselves aren't useless they also aren't seen as being necessary to the coming war.

Will there be a romance or a harem, someone please tell me because I don't like reading something that has a harem or romance
there is romance, no harem
I'm not reading about no useless deadweight mc
He's not really a useless trash protagonist you'll sometimes see in a lot of light novels. He's just starting from level 1 while everyone else is level 50 or something. To make up for it, the MC levels incredibly fast and has a much better foundation than all the other reincarnators once he catches up. He even has a much higher kill count than most reincarnators despite being a crafter.One caveat you have to deal with is that the author loves to make the MC suffer and constantly throws into dangerous situations.
pretty sure the cube he worship is the same cube in hellraiser
The novel has potential in the concept, but downright trash in execution of the storyline!
This is probably the most uncreative Craftsman mc I've ever read. The dude didn't even make weapon to protect himself he's weak asf. Im already passed 100+ chapters but i didn't even see some magical technology as mentioned in the tag because this retard always bent on doing anything not related to his main skill. He didn't even use the advantage of having modern knowledge aside from making toys. It's disappointing man i really like this kind of novel but the mc is so not that creative.
Thank you fellow daoist, I was about to read it, but if Author and MC do not make use of main skill of MC what is the point.
Story started out ok but it dropped rapidly to scratching your head trying get through it
Ben wasn't blessed with any magic or combat skills, just crafting and enchanting.By which world's logic that works like that ??Logistics , equipment , etc are one of the most important things out there. You reach a moment where increasing your capabilities by even 1% becomes extremely hard. At that moment equipment can allow you enter a whole new level. Not to mention a country having a grade higher crafter/enchanter than another country can mean the difference between winning or losing the war.I am tired of seeing *obviously stupid reasons for the MC to become an outcast* just for the sake marginalizing the MC.
It just shows that the writer is a newbie. The writer doesn't know how to research things
Not sure I want to read a novel where the author didn't even bother to research anything about the main tag.
It's not about research. It's about common sense. Even irl craft are part of pillars of society: science, health, creating things, delivering things, entertainment. Even very little skill in these fields grant some respect in little groups...
the whole point of the countries summoning the humans and the other outsiders was because from the second they came over they would have 'awakened' or third tier skills which are like a step up from normal skills that are incredibly difficult to get. them being created at this level means that they are inherently at the level of the children of gods. the mc was summoned with completely normal crafting and echanting skills which although somewhat uncommon is completely worthless to the higher powers, they all have their various level nine enchanters or even awakened ones.. not only that but he isnt 'marginalized' he just doesnt get any offers from the kingdoms. no one laughs at him and even in the newest chapters he is hanging out with his earth friends
more like he's cursed with trash magic affinities, which ment in the begining that his enchanting is basically disabled. leveling in this book is a bit diffrent, by which I mean until you fulfilled certian conditions you can only level by doing your job, so combat classes can be power leveled but crafting classes cannot( you can't power level by comleting a craft above your level but you can do so with killing).

A good Fate/DxD fanfic that branches lightly into other universes with magic-like mechanics, it has good world & character building.The Harem isn't just filler background characters for Mc to f#ck, each member of the Harem has their own roles, history and character, and has nice fluff moments. Its not as though every fem Mc talks to is a harem member like some reads.Plot is good, though occasionally it feels like its bouncing around a bit with how much MC has on his plate at times. This leads to my main irk: Mc doesn't utilize what he has to its best. Sometimes it feels like he's letting his various abilities collect dust which is frustrating at times.
Super good original fanfic, its my favorite in webnovel.
Rank F-
Good story. Read on QQ, 3 chapters a week. While I enjoy this website, I usually read QQ stories there instead of here because 1. Usually fun community of readers in the posts under the chapters 2. Authors are normally pretty chill and responsive 3. Many times there are supplementary material like images, side stories, omake, etcFor those who don’t like it - harem, fan fiction multi cross, MC is not lone dark emotionless character
I got an email the other day "every time you m*sterbate god kills a kitten"What a coincidence every time I kill a kitten I m*sterbate

Fixed.
a very good read; a fizzy clean read!
Its kinda bring a fresh perspective as not many stories centered around dwarf..hopefully its good..
Do female dwarfs also have a beard? Wierd
Sounds interesting
Huh my first time finding a dwarf novel alright… any reviews on this? Curious if this will be any good…
Is there elf mc novel? Never found it tho except some stupid sex crazed bastard.
I mean I remember a half elf mc which is reincarnated with the strongest system, but I do remember a popular (If I remember correctly) manga called Enough with This Slow Life! I Was Reincarnated as a High Elf and Now I’m Bored I think it has a novel just not on here
Aaahhh i read that...its a really good and beautiful manga...i was talking about novel tho...it made me cry so hard
Srry man I am not too sure of any good elf mc novels, noone writes them nor does many really look out for it so yeah… unless you are fine with reading about the half elf one I mentioned which is reincarnated with the strongest system
I Am A Legendary BOSS
There’s a comedy on RR about an elf MC who’s system lets him tank only when hit in the balls.
There is one on here about an mc who's half elf called death world commando. It's a little f#cked because some parts don't get properly pasted on ranobes.
It's pretty good. Quite unusual and new, the plot moves gradually but not too slowly and the interactions of the characters are well written.

The Novel Is Only Half Uploaded Since It On Kindle Which Makes You Not To Read It But The Tag Bisexual Makes You Loathe The Novel
Thanks for the warning, didn't even notice that tag.
This novel lowkey got grabbed just a few days too late, since the majority of the first book has gone to kindle unlimited at this point.
Has the lgbtq and what not’s impacts come this far for a mc to become one? At least there is no harem
as the description says, he is bissexual but there is no romance, the only thing diferent is that there are scenes where he thinks how beautiful, handsome and hot some male character are, and thats it, literally no romancei think the author only decided to make him bissexual to make the mc a little more similar to him
a cover so misleading that its laughable, this mc “gimmink” is that he specializes in destroying most form of magic with items included, so him holding magical stuff is funny if you read itregarding the bisexual warning, small stuff that you can barely notice, think of it as mc that admires both a voluptuous woman and a masculine guy in the same way
"Bisexual Protagonist" tag scares me.

This site is absolutely filthy with reactionary, conservative trash. Racist and homophobic comments are everywhere. I'm honestly not surprised to see a "black people are shit" joke on a random novel, and I'm even less surprised to find it with more upvotes than downvotes. The trash who runs the site also seems to love that stuff, since he never deletes any of it.I don't know what it is with fans of translated asian media, but a huge chunk of them are the shittiest f#cks I've ever had the displeasure of interacting with. It's annoying to share the same hobby as the worst of humanity.
Why did the hyperbole get a job as your spokesperson? Because nothing says "insultingly overdone" quite like your presence!
Most mistakes can be corrected. You are the exception to the rule.
Thank you, it makes me unique, after all, it's better to be an incorrigible error than an unfunny hyperbole, as they say, life is only good when you're laughing, my friend, you seem quite unhappy.

It's good but theres too much filler and the MC's thoughts are most of the time ramblings that have nothing to do with the plot also it gets tiring to hear the same things for 100th time "Whitewashing" da "racism" da "gender stereotypes" its annoying
Well, I quite like this story. Keep in mind it is yaoi and I understand if people don't really like this genre, but I do, so don't flame me for it, please. So this story is about Jia Hyson going to different worlds with his system to fix the story. It has great humor and there's a lot of love and mature stuff. So if you don't mind smut and yaoi, you should try it.

The most capable magic users are raised up as Mages to serve mankind, further their cause, and defend them over the course of millennia.Tala is freshly graduated from the magic academy and determined to make her own way in the world. She hopes to pay off her massive debts, quickly, but still plans on living each and every day to the fullest. Too bad the Academy left some glaring holes in her practical education. Loath to let that slow her down, and with no patience for a standard, low-paid apprenticeship (intended to fill many of those knowledge gaps), Tala strives to learn and improve as rapidly as she can on her own. Her unorthodox methods for preserving her own life allow her to take greater risks in search of profit and advancement, much to the surprise of those around her.****Author: I do hope you enjoy this tale, but let me know what you think either way!

I appreciate a good female mc, emphasise on the word "good" because most female protagonists are just emotional bitches crying in every other chapter, that's why I usually prefer gender bender (even those ones lose their brains along with their male bodies sometimes
Seems like a good one but slice of life is making me hesitate, I mean most novels I've read on royal road with slice of life were boring, beware of chicken was one of the few exceptions
I really hate these kind of novel where the mc is a female :3
Then don't read female protagonist stories. Why bemoan in the comments?
He is one of those guys that enjoys reading how male MC f*ck women, not the other way around.
I believe he said these kinds of and not all female lead stories.This was a good read- a new world and magic system. What sours it for me, is that the fl is very much a Rey.She is told not to do things, does it anyways, and somehow comes away with a positive result. And does something that takes everyone else half a decade to do.To make more money, she acts like she is experienced, and joins as a merc. But has no idea what she is doing and gets into a lot of trouble. Would love a spin off where they all die because she did know now what to do.And this is not because it’s a fl. many other ml stories that are written in a similar fashion- and I hate them too.
What's wrong with female MC? Are you perhaps a mysogenist
im guessing he doesnt like female mcs
No I think he doesn't like females at all
most male readers do not like reading novels with female mc because they can't relate, I was the same in the past until I read a few good ones, so no need to call out the commentor.
As they say, you won't try, you won't know. You shouldn't row everything under one comb. The plot and the world should be important, not the gender of the main character.I read a novel about a woman who wanders through apocalyptic worlds. It was interesting, but I was killed by constantly repetitive untranslatable names of monsters. The same problem was in "the player who came back in 10,000 years"
which novel is this?
Doomsday Wonderland
i think he just dislike the combination of this book genre with fmls. Personally; male or female they btch equally and btchin in any genre is unwelcomed.
Unfortunately, I must agree in part. While there are many excellent FMCs is quite rare to find them in midst of the sea of eternally crying girls, pitiful dolls that exist just to attract the male leads (that are always full generic copy-paste of some other work character), or the 'you are a girl, so you can't' troupe.The good part is that the works with good FMCs tend to be damn amazing. To me, 'Kumo desu ga, nani ka?' and the novels from Vihyungrang (Royalroad) like Lament of the Fallen, are just amazing.
Kumo desu ga, nani ka not only did female mc really well, but they also did the male to female side character really well too rather than just make it a joke, which is always surprising. Surprise, some jokes, then acceptance and not really bringing it up too many times, like what'd realistically happen.
by ch 130 you can expect to read aboutSpoiler a different enough magic system , how humans need to hide in mana poor lands, outside a city defensive line everything is dangerous, mc attacks are gravity based, her defense and regen is well above average and she likes coffee, mc traveveling between cities as a caravan guard to make money, a teleporting bird that likes killing will join in her travels, no young masters or faceslapping
Don't forget this is free on Royal Road. You can support the author there (rate and stuff)
If the apocalypse don't get you, the student debts will.

I’m at chapter 12, and for now i really can’t fathom how in the world could this novel not even get a 3.5 rating. For now, i suppose it’s good enough to get even a 4
This is a really unfortunate Novel, it's bad enough to be a brain off read but gives me a headache even trying to read it.
It's decent, it's not the best but it's not that bad either and so far there are no r18, some possible members of the harem but nothing is clear yet.
How far through were you at the time of this review?
hmmm I made it after reading all the chapters available here.
What is up with the naive protagonist tag? Do not tell me he is really naive?
I was looking at the tags and... Carefree and cautious protagonist contradict each other so much.
Harem>>>
the first 5 chapters are decent but after that its bad, story is generic nothing new.
Based on synopsis and title alone, I just feel that its very generic and typical imo, any other thoughts?
I just want to give one star because of the synopsis

it was alright untilit was not the author slaughtered all the side characters like farm animals, at which point I ragequit because seeing them joke around was the biggest appeal of the novel for me
I love this novel. The author knows how to write, able to delve into the world much more easily.Story is slow, but I prefer them, once it touches later chapter, u don't want to put the book down.
I don't really get why folks praise this novel so much. Yes it is competently written, however that doesn't remove how boring the story feels.Or maybe I'm just completely sick of reading about young naive children as main characters. Either way, I do not recommend.
Perhaps you have read too many low tier fast paced novels that you started to think they are good but when a decent one does appear it’s to pleasant to you.But I agree the release schedule is slow
really good story. But sadly author only posts once per week and the chapters are only little longer than average chapters of other novels (2,8k words), and from the last chapter I read (currently 10 chapters away from the up to date but still it took 2 months) it doesnt look like it will end like korean novels with 200 ish chapter so the author probably plannig to do 500+ but just to get to 500 chapter with the current pace it will take 6+ years. Tbh I dont belive the author will be writing after that much time.
Op mc? Saw the weak to strong tag and I have doubts about it
so far not really op strong but by no means op far from it
should have a tragedy tag...
How tragic is it??? Please give the actual tragedies that occurs in snippets with SPOILER tag.
This is top tier xianxia. Before this, I recommend Coiling Dragon Ring Saga for newbies as even though it's not the best, it's "classic" cultivation story and is a decent enough introduction. But now, I recommend this, the only bad part about this is that it's not yet complete.I wouldn't exactly recommend this to veteran readers tho, but if you do plan to read it, it shouldn't be low in your priority, maybe mid or part of the next 3 books you'll read.
is Coiling Dragon really that good? I started with AWE and when I tried to get into Coiling Dragon a couple months after being into the genre, I just couldn't.
Coiling isn't good, it isn't bad either. I think the reason why it's recommended and respected is because it's one of the first titles to get translated. It's also one of the first that set a trend basically. If you've watched Nausicaa (really old Hayao Miyazaki film) it's the same logic, that film isn't good or bad (well, it's pretty decent) but that's because a lot of films already refined the formula that Nausicaa created and improved on it. TL;DR: Coiling dragon is decent and you gotta give it props for being old but still holding up better than a lot of other xianxia. There's also the fact that it's a decent execution of the xianxia formula that it's a good enough recommendation for those who are just starting to read xianxia web novels.
Excellently written, you can tell it's not a translated novel. What I like most about this novel is the character development and meaningful interactions between the MC and other characters. In many CN translated novels all side characters are just foils to show the MC's excellence, but here, they really do stand out and have relevance. This isn't an OP face-slap type of novel, it's almost basically coming-of-age cultivation novel so far. 4.7/5
Quite good i say! At start it seems no different than any other novels but it is quite nice read. 5/5 from my side no complaint about this novel.
starts out really cool but later on turns meh. his love interest right now is really weird and unfounded. the biggest issue i have is that he really doesnt act like his age suggests and is weirdly more naive after the big event happens. the world also doesnt seem to be that deep. another generic existential crisis in a fight against "demons" where the demons are fewer in numbers but have higher talent. an issue that isnt related to the plot is release rate and overal plot progression. as it is right now it will take a least a few years for the story to finish.

The tags scream "Don't read this shit!'
I will just copy review from novelupdates that can majorly describe how I feel about this novel:If I were to sum it up with one sentence, it isn't as bad as it first seems, but it also doesn't work hard to get good.It's basically a Chinese novel written like a Japanese would (but obviously with Chinese flavor, you know, face slapping and the like). It's basically a beta male + harem + fantasy + transmigration.In general, the protagonist is so dense that it's funny. Yes, just funny. At first you get annoyed with him, but if you endure it for 2-3 volumes, you just laugh at the ret*rd. Well, at some point the narration alluded to some past events that made him subconsciously reject all possibilities that someone may like him, etc., but he's still so very dense he should be capable of using black hole attacks. The explanation doesn't fully cover this, so the protagonist isn't really excused all that much.Other than that, the protagonist is okay at first glance, but annoying in the long run. He's a goody-two-shoes, and it's especially annoying when he interacts with some female characters: they're gonna act like a stuck-up b*tch, and he's going to laugh foolishly and let them step all over him or something. There's literally only one chick that's excused for acting like this because she's mental (literally, schizophrenia and more), but the rest is just annoying together with the even more annoying protagonist
Dense AND Naive protagonist?

At chapter 400, this is a slow burn one that is at very low heat and is set to cook for the next day(week), a really good read, powers and enemies get kinda repetative and easily predicted there is some innovative power usage but when that is done he just uses that Innovation until the next innovative idea.

The novel is a great read 4.4/5 definitely recommend. I came for the alchemy stayed for the town-building.WARNINGThis novel say it caters to niche of alchemy and it does, but it more of a city building novel than an alchemy novel.
Any romance in this?

This novel reminds me of a game called 'Potion Craft', in which you play as an alchemist.
A leisure read. Purely slice of life and as of chapter 36 no fights. Overall a good book
No way, Beware of Chicken v2? Obviously it won't be as good but it doesn't matter.
So it's near identical to beware of chicken?Also what's exciting or fun to read there? I started, didn't feel hooked and haven't continued since the visit to the FL's home village. Comedy was not as much as I was hoping for and the chapters had weird continuity.
I haven't read it, I'm just going off of the description.Beware of Chicken is something only veterans will appreciate. If you don't have 10000+ chapters of face-slapping xianxia cultivation novels under your belt you won't really see the appeal.

Ezekiel recognized early in life that he didn’t want to follow in his parent’s footsteps and spend the rest of his days as a mere farmer. No, his eyes are set on a grander stage, a place where tales of monster hunters, mighty generals, and benevolent heroes hold court — A world of Magic and mysteries.One day, the opportunity he had been waiting for arrives. Without a second thought, Ezekiel throws himself headfirst into the adventure. However, not everything turns out to be as magical as he had dreamt it to be…THIS IS A SLOW BURN FANTASY PROGRESSION LITRPG STORY:Even though you are not going to see blue boxes from chapter one, I guarantee you that this IS a LitRPG story. This is, however, NOT a pure «game world»! Instead, I have tried to integrate the interface elements of a LitRPG into a world with a very thought-out magic & power system, which will be explored over the course of the first book.This world doesn’t work like a game, where you can put '5 points in strength' and the body somehow changes magically into a stronger version of itself. It might take a couple of chapters for the world and magic to start to make sense, but I feel like a power system built on solid principles is a lot more rewarding in the long run (…and more IMMERSIVE!).RELEASE SCHEDULE:Regular release Schedule: 3 Chapters a week; Mo, We, Fr.

Is it worth reading? Sure. However, this is just a wishful story or a "fairy tail". This isn't really a cultivation LN. Things happen because they author says they happen not really due to rules of common sense or rules of cultivation and levels of power, they just "are". This is like a bedtime story you tell at bedtime.... It doesn't go very deep into the cultivation nor does i go deep into how the magic works. It has some depth into how magic works, but at the same time it seems to be completely ignored and at times you really wonder if that was even a spell or just the author claiming it's a spell. The MC goes up against monsters and the author never tells you what their power level is. Then the MC goes into a dungeon like place (old hidden ruins) that have all these monsters in there that should probably be powerful, but once again no power levels are ever mentioned, yet the very weak MC kills them without issues....SpoilerIn the old hidden ruins they find out that they were the ruins of a very advanced civilisation that specialized in mind magic, one of the tree magics the MC has a specialty in. All the knowledge of mind magic is horded away by the emperor and his family of mind mages and they don't allow other mind mages to really advance in real mind magic. So the MC decides to destroy EVERYTHING because the ruins old residence did a large amount of their research on unethical ways to use mind magic. The MC did not spend time searching for mind magic teachings and spells and training in the ruins at all.... No one outside of this crappy countries emperor has any real knowledge of mind magic and it's spells and they won't teach anyone that information nor their spells. Lets just destroy all of this FREE knowledge and not learn stuff that even the emperor of this crappy country probably doesn't know.. He doesn't have to use the stuff he finds to be unethical. There is so much more there than this unethical knowledge, but he just goes ahead and destroys it all..... This MC is stupid...
Great story. Before listening to the reviews saying it's bad, at least read the first 30 chapters and then make your decision.
All I can say is that this is a fantastic novel, I wish I had a better word, because the charm of this novel is wonderful, in the final chapter of 'B3' I could only shiver with excitement And anxiety, mark my words, it's going to be one of the soap operas that your mind won't have a choice in if you don't follow it, it may seem silly at first, but the more you go on, the more eager you are to see what the
Initially the storyline is ok....but it become bad, after the story is told in third person point of view it lacks character interaction it is all in narrative and spell formula is lacking, it says inscribed/inscription correct me if I'm wrong, inscribing the core with a spell is the way to breakthrough to become a True mage but what should be inscribed, there is nothing should they just inscribed intentions or inscribed geometric formula of the spell, runes, or letters....nah...it just so lacking . If you want for a pastime reading waiting for updates, then I recommend this novel but for serious Nah....just skip this one
story started out ok but it got freaking stupid later on
Novel seems to have some sort of weird usage of words that seems a bit off, not much character development honestly
When I wrote this review I was in chapter 44 SpoilerI have to say the author should stop calling these abilities of his spells, because there is no weaving of mana, no spell construct no manipulation of magic in anyway even the first two "spells" its was the same he should just call it an ability or skill matter of fact they should just give the MC a system because the way he is learning his spells is the same way people other novels with system get and level their skills by repeatedly doing the same thing till he gets a system message the only thing that's kind of unique nd is cool is the engraving of the "spell" in their core buts still I'm not happy... for that I'll give it a 2/5
Agreed. These "spells" don't even seem to be spells or magic in the normal sense of magic spells. As you said there never seems to be any weaving of magic or mana. The things that the author does is more like very limit or singular use of LAWS that you get in cultivation LNs. It is very oddly written. It seems more like a wishful story or a "fairy tail" you would tell at bedtime, than a magic/cultivation LN...
Really I really enjoy this novel, it's one of my favorites on the Royal Road and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday I'm always on time to read the new chapters. My comment is not a recommendation but I urge you to read this book. The author is a good friend of mine and he does illustrations of each character and they're pretty descriptive. Everyone who says that it sucks try at least to read half of the present chapters
2.5/5What can i say? It's forced. The characters are forced, not smart or intelligent.In the empire that mc is, elemental mages (fire, water, earth and wind) are more valuable, only because they are the majority and have further developed their techniques.Minor spoiler cap 5 where mc awakened / discovered your elements.Elements: SpoilerBlood, Mind and SpaceYeah, after of you know the elements, know that happens? MC is treated like crap and starts the famous bullying ARC. Anyone knows that the elements of mc are strong and have countless possibilities, but still, the author wants to make the ARC of bullying in his story and tries to give unconvincing reasons for mc to be treated like this.I don't know if the novel gets better later on, but I can't get past the beginning of it.
Wdym forced and unconvincing?There are plenty or reasons why Mc gets shunned and bullied and people don't think his elements are good. To start the elements he uses are employed by enemies of the empire and the earth, wind, fire, and water clans actively make it so that other elements are shunned and those with strong bloodlines of other elements are killed so they don't form their own great clans. Wdym " Anyone knows that the elements of Mc are strong and have countless possibilities"? No, not everyone in the setting knows that. You and I might know that his elements are strong with our modern day knowledge and knowledge of other novels and the fact that Mc is going to become strong in the future but in the setting the people don't know for very obvious reasons. Not just that but having a tri or dual affinity is usually a bad thing in the setting, and in the setting they haven't perfected knowledge of magic.All of his elements have limiting factors. One is strictly controlled by the royal faction and barely anything is taught about it, another is used by an enemy empire and spells aren't taught for it in the empire and it is also shunned because it is used by the enemies who are at war with the empire (his teacher at the acadmy literally treats it like a curse to have the element), and the other is expensive and not strong at lower levels as its easily counterable. Not just that but he is a commoner, with a tri affinity which is also looked down on, and only has elements that are looked down on. They all seem rather convincing reasons for the bulling and fit the setting of the story.
Ok, I understand you, but I have other opinions."people don't think his elements are good" - Friend, the mc had element Mind (same of King and your royal faction), no good? no strong?- Second element Blood, element used by an enemy empire, really no strong? It's impossible for the enemy empire not have others elements and only Blood, like earth, wind, fire and water are basic elements. Other point, if it's your enemy main element, you need study and understand all yours skills or abilities to win wars, and not ostracize all peoples in your empire who has this element.- Element space no good? Ok, here you might be right that i know with modern knowledge, but again, like a new element, need to be studied and understand its possibilities."having a tri or dual affinity is usually a bad thing in the setting"- as far as i read, only 2 problems that are time to train all elements and money. Not big issues for me.
mind- no good? no strong? yes because the imperial family want it to be no good no strong for anybody other than them and he can do nothing about it.blood- no good? no strong?- yes because the empire dont care about it. It knows how to deal with not how to use it.space- no good? no strong?- you figured out the problem yoursef.his situation is:he went to agriculture school in uganda but the only thing he can learn is rocket science psychology and playing rugby and he must learn all three of this subjects that they dont teach at the same time,and everybody in that school hates rugby players
Congratulations friend! You have succefully ignored one of the first plot points used by the author!Yes, the discrimination based on cores is cliche as hell, true. But the author makes a whole construction of the why, how it came to be, and the merits and disadvantageof the structure based on the 4 elements.And the two main reasons for the bulling were quite simple too:First, he is a commoner-born. Second, he uses a 'secondary' element as main (Blood) and one used by one of their enemy nationsSpoilerMain Advantages of the 4 'Main/Primary' Elements:-More spells created-Easy to find resources (element/energy stones are created naturaly in a respective environment. Ocean/Lake produces water stone and such)-More definined personalities (it was latter theorised and almost confirmed to influence the attribute of the core)-Existent structure (the main elemental families of the Empire already have their respective places in their nation. Army, intelligence, defence, and more, making easier for people to find their path)Main Disadvantage:-Limited fighting style due to the existent structure and heritage-Too used in dealing with their fellow 4 elements, causing a glaring hole in the training of future soldiers/powerhouses (except for the elements used by the nations currently/formerly in war, like the Light/Darkness/Blood elements)-Lack of actual development in many fields unrelated to war due to the fixation with what they already have (funnily enough, this blocks them from improving their military as many things made for/by civilians may as well spark a whole change in technology)While the plot point is VERY cliche, I ended up quite impressioned with how well the author developed it as the world expanded.
