It's just not worth the time, it's a novel focused on arrogant young masters and people being humiliated, the world building, the protagonist's past and cultivation levels are things the author just forgot, the love interest sucks, he's a cattle that kills the men just because he doesn't like how they look at him, while with the women... well, you get the idea
Never said it was bad that there were so many after story chapters but there's no reason to make it an after story if it's longer than the actual story.
That's like if I released a video game with 5 hours of playtime and then had DLC that had 500 hours of content. I just don't get it.
This is a must read! [img=recommend][img=recommend] The novel is well written, and have a great and detailed world background.. even though it's a little dark for me, it's very intriguing how the characters on the novel works. There are witches and furthermore, the unhesitatingly sacrifices... the appropriate mood and tone is also there which makes it more exciting for me. Great job well done, Author! [img=recommend][img=recommend] Your novel will stay in my collection, and I will definitely read your upcoming chapters in my free time. [img=recommend][img=recommend]
Swallowed Star is decent but nowhere near as good as Legendary Mechanic. Swallowed Star MC has a very kind and caring personality, personally it didn't feel as if he had a strong drive. Han Xiao was much better.
I initially thought this was gonna be a novel where MC is a hermit that drinks pure spiritual blessed water casually then blows the minds of mortals as he casually serves it to them. On the contrary, this seems like an actual cultivation novel. He actually sequesters himself to cultivate or practice his skills/spells to mastery stages ect. This isn't a novel where the system is overbearing or seems to be constantly present either. It sometimes pops in to give a mission then leaves for a couple years or something. Characters are also one of this novels strong points, with them behaving as real actual humans would instead of being cardboard cutouts of that same arrogant young master.
Not what I was expecting honestly, but seems to be very well done and has that rare quality where some actual thought seems to be put in by the author.
After reading many werewolves and/or system novels, I decided to give this one as my first review. I've read most of the existing reviews and decided to give my 2 cents.
Writing: Yeah, I can see why some people dislike it. The writing at the beginning does justify the negative reviews. I personally didn't mind it as much since I (slowly) skimmed through it. It got better for the later chapters and I can see the author's effort to improve. Regardless, the writing is nothing stellar but not horrible either (for the later parts that is). The use of onomatopoeias is pretty excessive for my liking personally but I understand the author's intention for the tone of the novel to be much more casual. After some amount of re-reading, it certainly has somewhat grown on me.
Plot: I think the story is fantastic. It doesn't have a strong start (after the main character got the system). I did not enjoy the school setting very much, but that's just my personal taste. However, things get increasingly more enjoyable as the story advances further. I really like the psychological mind games between the protagonist and the antagonists here, albeit sometimes it gets slightly dragged out a bit. Also, I would love to see some hints or appearances of the werewolf who killed his parents since it was the main antagonist after all.
Characters: The main character is the reason why I'm in love with this novel. Sure, he's certainly not the brightest sometimes, but I love everything else about him. Unlike most MCs I came across, he's not some ordinary high school twink who suddenly found supernatural powers. Even before the appearance of the system, the dude was an absolute menace, being in the military force against supernaturals as a normal human. He's very cunning and ruthless, which is extremely fitting for a werewolf. Other than the MC, the females are quite lacking. Harem is not my cup of tea so I'm glad that this one is not too overbearing.
World building: The setting is pretty good. The world building is not heavy as it adds bits and pieces as the story goes on through the MC's missions. I really like the war-like atmosphere with a magi-tech world.
Overall, while it is not the best, it is certainly very enjoyable. I am currently and will continue to purchase privileged chapters and support the author.
PS: If you are dissapointed with this novel, I HIGHLY suggest "The Harvester"
