For new readers who don't know, this novel translates into GravityTales until chapter 96 TOTALLY FREE! Webnovel seriously ... If I am personally going to read and pay for the chapters (not the 96 that are already free and here they are charging) instead of chapter 97 onwards, before that I will not pay anything. I feel sorry for GravityTales because the chapters chapters are a copy and paste of their translation and I feel disgusted with Webnovel, not for stopping the translation of the novel in GravityTales but for taking someone else's work to copy their work and paste it disgustingly while it is free elsewhere, they will charge for those chapters (5 or 6 SS minimum) You know, go to GravityTales, read until Chapter 96 for free and, if you like it, continue from 97 onwards, I don't think there is a reason to do so since they had at least a week to translate Chapter 97 into less
Water. Water. One water.
20% plot. 80% of the descriptions. This is not a novel. This is a game guide. The most detailed, which devotes entire chapters to a superficial description of the class. And then another chapter, which describes a part of the class skills. But this is only the beginning of suffering.
Describe skills, classes, battle systems ............... and do not show in the plot. Describe the skills and class, but in the plot show through 100-150 chapters this, of course, without forgetting 2-3 chapters to repeat the previous descriptions.
The main minus of the novel is that the author makes a guide to the game, not a novel.
And of course REPETITIONS. Repeat every 5 chapters as far as legends are cool, with a description of their coolness. And to say how MC is far from them. What for?
From the pros, MC. Nice world.
But the main minus is a huge amount of description. Literally describing damage calculation formulas. WHAT FOR? You do not play the game. You cannot manage this data.
I way prefer the whole VRMMO but now is a real world over the standard "VRMMO but go back 2 years". The whole 'this company spent millions designing content for only one player to get' or 'unfair advantages for the first player' or 'secret systems that no of the other millions of players think of' just are dumb. People aren't that stupid, and I appreciate it when an author doesn't lower the IQ of humanity by 100 points so their main character can dominate.
Personally, I find this novel a really fun read but it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. The author goes into a lot of detail about just about everything, especially with regards to the D&D type leveling system which some readers may find tedious. On the other hand it has an interesting main character who doesn’t always use having played the game before to solve all his problems and instead has to make plans ahead of time to succeed, an interesting world and story reminiscent of Night Ranger, and some cool side characters to flesh things out. I suggest giving it a try!
I'm not sure if anyone remembers me, but I am SaltyTank, the original translator of AD back on Gravity Tales. I have read a few of the comments that seem to bash QI for copying my chapters and making them premium while they are completely free on GT, and thus I would like to give my opinion on what they are doing.
Before I continue, do note that I willingly passed over the novel to the current translator and left QI for many reasons that have already been explained on my GT post.
QI has all the rights to my chapters (at least up to c90), so technically they're not stealing because I was paid for my work. The only grey area would be c91-96 because I posted them after my GT contract expired and wasn't paid for the work, but the chapters were still copied over (with very minor edits) to QI. I honestly couldn't care less at this point and I would have handed them over anyways if they asked.
Regarding the chapters being free on GT, I believe QI was supposed to take down the novel on GT once it hits the QI library, but apparently they couldn't be bothered to do it for some reason. So yes, enjoy the free chapters while it lasts, you never know when they will go down ;)
Anyways, that's all I have to say. I'm sure more chapters are on the way, and hope you all enjoy the series even though I no longer work on it. (I'm not a big fan of the premium chapters either welp)
One of the better written stories written in its genre.
Positives
1) Solid MC, who readers can related to on a human level.
2) Good side characters that are interesting and bring more to the story
3) Cute Sister who really helps drive the story, while also giving agency for the MC
4) Interesting World, and world building.
5) Cool battle and fights scenes, and nothing to over top.
6) Bad guys actually make sense, and some cool villans throughout the series.
I was sad when this was originally dropped by the first TLer. Hope this catches up soon GL and bless the new/current TL team.
Now all I want is someone to pick up Pursuing Immorality, and bring back the masterpiece...
