The Chains of Time

This is one of the best webnovel, I've ever read. Sad that this was dropped from translating. Please webnovel its almost 2 years already. Please continue translating this 😭

this is one of those novels where a decent story is ruined by horrible writing quality, inconsistencies and toxic masculinity of the author. The story is about a guy who lives around a 1000 years into the future and humanity has expanded into space, discovered the cultivation of martial arts and expanded into space. The main character, Chu Nan, somehow gets a super analytical ability that allows him to get very precise real time information about his actions and that of his opponents. He uses this ability to become stronger despite being judged to be too old. It is clear that the author barely planned the novel and as a result there is very little preparation for the next step. Add to that that it is not uncommon for some chapters to reveal things about what the mc is doing in previous chapters. For instance Chu Nan gets beaten into a coma and his body is severely injured. The chapter describing how he woke up and how he recovered his body is described over several chapters. During these chapters Chu Nan's parents are never mentioned but several chapters later you discover that he has parents, that they went to visit him when he was in a coma and when he woke up and that he even has a sister. Not only did it take the novel around 150 chapters to even mention that he has parents that are still alive but that he also has a sister (almost as if the author finally realized that Chu Nan also has a family). And there are several similar situations where the author suddenly realized that what he wrote earlier doesn't make sense and than starts to backtrack to fill in the blanks, these are signs of a badly planned storyline and the low quality reparations done to cover this up. The world building is almost as bad as the writing quality. A lot of things that in real life we know how it works are explained in a way that doesn't make sense and are based on a very simplistic view of how the world works. And it's not like they suddenly became part of fantasy and therefor it's logical they don't make sense anymore. For instance the authors understanding of muscle growth is completely wrong but doctors and athletes do know how this works and it is completely different from the explanation in the novel. When you work out you go over the limit of what your muscles can handle and you slightly tear your muscles, this is also called muscle pain and most people know this feeling well bc they experience it the day after, sometimes a few hours, after an intensive workout. The muscle pain goes away because your muscles are repairing themselves and in the proces of repairing themselves they make the muscles stronger, bigger, longer, etc. In other words muscle growth comes when you rest after overusing them. The author is working under the assumption that muscles grow by overusing them and he ignores the influence of rest. There are several similar situations where the author assumes how something works and based the story on that.I also strongly suspect that the author originally planned to write a story with a more traditional Xianxia world building but somehow decided to change his plans. Too many times is a collection of planets referred to as a country and most planets only have one or two big cities. The total population of humans from Earth is around 20 billion but that seems to me far too little given how many planets are under the control of the Earth Federation. In multiple situations I have noticed that the scales at which things happen are in conflict with each other. For instance one of the strongest martial arts techniques in the real world can produce the same kind of power that a person in the novel with a 3rd level overlord body can achieve. I know the author didn't want the difference between normal humans and overlord bodies to be too big but because the author failed to do a proper research he failed in his objective because now the people in the novel that should be stronger than people in real life aren't stronger.The story itself is neither innovative or original but it has potential to be not bad (if the writing quality was better it would have been a good story to fill your time with)

awesome book .I hope author won't leave it mid way  and finish the book because it is always painful to see a good story not reaching an end. thank you

i love the eye powers however the fights seem abit complicated especially when he watches the fight between lunatic girl and the supreme saint guy i don't like when the author say "the eye in the void has primordial qi with celestial bodies around it"  like what is that supposed to mean and im curios as to why nobody knows the DU clan, but i want to see what the academy is like. Overall I WANT MORE!!!!!

Good story but too bad it stopped adding more chapters, good plot and character building. Way too short and it was left at a good spot so I'm a little disappointed
