This Nyoi-Bo Stuido really does pick up trash. No offense to the translators personally, but more towards the business decisions behind them. They are being hired by QI to saturate the market with the same trashy cliche novels cut from the same cloth time and time again. Rather than focus their efforts on some quality content with a fresh air of writing, we continue to get the same regurgitated crap that already saturates China's online novel market. Yes. This is once again the same crap we have gotten time and time again, some of which have at this point have long since hit 1000+ chapters and continue to squeeze out half-MTL translation turds despite the lack of interest after the initial 300 chapter-same-bull**** plotline. Meanwhile, some actual fresh content novels with ACTUAL UNIQUE concepts of cultivaton in them continue to go on hiatus or get lower quality/less regular chapters.So over it.. And this is not a review targeting the authors or translators of these books. I do believe they deserve to be translated, however not at the expense of other content being put on the backburner just so QI can line their pockets with a little bit more cash in the short run. The review is noting the continued lack of quality DUE to this mindset by QI, as well as the lowered release schedules for older novels while translators/studios are forced to work on new projects.
It's a pretty bleh story. The writing isn't so great and although that is understandable for non native speakers, I'd have to say that the lack of character development, plot, and world design especially ruin it. A recent trend has been sloppily throwing things from popular fiction into a system and making the MC OP. It's easy to do, but the outcome absolutely sucks especially if there is no good contextual world and plot development. And the MC? An okay choice but the flawness of his emotions and personality are serious, making him a flat one dimensional "edgy" ****.I'm not really going to talk about OPness and realism as novels vary in the flavor, mood and focus. Novels with OP systems usually compensate the lack of rich plot with character development or humor. Author needs to find some aspect that is their own, that they can maximize the appeal of to the readers.My suggestion would be to go back and produce a coherent plot, flesh out the characters by 500%, and most of all, at least describe the things and "evolutions" with enough depth so that it isn't just "oh hey, I had X tool which conveniently solves this current problem." I think the merit of the novel currently is exploration, specifically with what is the next evolutions? This definitely could be a possible way of improving the novel, and I leave it up to the author to try and improve it in his own way.
If you are looking for something fun and a lot of kickarse action this one is def where you need to go to looking cause seriously one of the best villain stories period! I would look no further because you ain't gonna find anything this good elsewhere! ;3
