Pretty much here because I have been following Krune for a long time. The two chapters left me laughing at the end, so I think it's worth a try.
Another thing for those who follow Suiyan's work with the wisp for a long time is that you can see the difference between the time when he started wisp, and when he started this new book. Especially English related.
Suiyan, don't think that I forgot about those 100+ chapters with run-out sentences. Hahaha! Just joking. I'm happy to see the improvement in your writing. I'll be following this one from now on too. After all, I love comedies.
I hope that this new book goes well. Of course, above all, it has to be interesting, and the first two chapters were very good already.
From the first two chapters, we have a mystery, an awesome relationship between the MC and Death, a fun MC, and a hilarious setup. 100/10, excellent start to a novel. Can’t wait to see what the characters get up to in the future!
I like the story so far. It progresses at a nice pace. Neither too fast nor slow. Keep up the good work. I dont really know what else to write, so webnovel lets me post the review.
This review will contain spoilers but I recommend people to keep reading because the entire story pretty much gets destroyed around chapter 500; and I wouldn't want someone to waste his time reading up to that point.
Up until around chapter 500 this story was one of my favorite books on this site; the characters were interesting and the concept of having 2 main characters was extremely unique and entertaining.
Unfortunately, for some reason the author decided to do the worst possible mistake he could have done, kill off 90% of the characters and story-lines.
After introducing and developing many characters and storylines into the book, the author has decided to cut them all of all together by literally destroying the planet on which the story took place.
To me it seemed like the author didn't like what he built up to that point and thus decided to completely restart the entire plot line, leaving behind many unfinished side plots, and characters who were introduced but not properly developed.
To make things worse, after this "plot twist" took place, the main characters of the story who remained alive didn't show any signs of grief that should have taken place considering almost everyone they ever loved had died.
Considering I had a truly loved this book before the major "plot twist" took place, I implore the author to please explain why he decided to make such a unreasonable change to the story.
Thank you for reading this review, and sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes that might have been in it as English isn't my first language.
I read all the way up to 500 chapters, and i can only say that im disappointed. at first it was a funny novel with a new take on the cultivation worold, but then. THE WOMEN came
**spoilers**
One of the first interactions with malaka was that she tried to follow the twins, and she almost died. when they got to the sect she got taken in by a part of the sect that is only for women (pretty stupid) all of that blue orchArd divition girls were entitled brats who looked down on you because of your gender. all girls think they’re better but they scream when someone stream steals their plane panties. they were but i read through it.
Then they go to the profound abyss where they meet another brat which forced to help because of the system. this girl falls In lOVe with ROan then they go to the capital and rean is forced to marry a princesS he doesn’t like because of a MISUNDERSTANDING. she tries to R*PE him, but he just laughs it off. now we have 3 braindead characters following the MCs (they’re also braindead) omg i can’t put into words how horrible the story gets.
Everything is good but the MCs. Basically their interaction is meant to be funny but it isn't at all. It's was funny at the start but until when are we supposed to find their bratty dispute funny, One is god knows how old he is and the other is more than 30 years old, and they can't get over their first misunderstanding, They keep arguing and fighting with each other like some snotty toddlers.
Here I am, waiting for the next release, and writing this review in the meantime. I’ve decided to be succinct, so here it goes.
In terms of writing quality, it is not bad. Mediocre or even slightly above average. Compared to other novels I read on this site, prior to the creation of my account, it fares quite well, but not so well that it stands out. There are sentence structuring errors here and there and incorrect spellings for certain words/terms which slightly draws away from the experience. Not by much, but for a neophyte grammar critique, such as myself, the effects are significant.
In terms of consistency in updating, I can’t really comment much since I have been binge-reading up until this point, but over the past few days, I don’t think there have been any changes, although you are free to correct me if I am wrong. I have also not found any indication of the author’s update schedule or anything similar to estimate how many updates they are planning to make per week, which is fine, since some authors don’t operate on a strict schedule, but for me, I don’t find it particularly reassuring to not know how many chapters I should expect.
The story development and characters are by far the key elements here. They outshine the majority of the decent novels I’ve read in the past few months, even encouraging me to create this account for the sole purpose of reading it.
Both the plot and characters are unique and intriguing, the latter even more so. The experimentation of the dual-protagonist system is, in my eyes, a significant success on quite a few levels. The inter-personal dynamics were also highly well done. Especially in regards to the key characters and the main duo themselves.
Their decisions throughout the story are logical and more or less realistic, or at least in relation to a majority of other novels (I won’t mention any names) that allow their characters to go on multiple nonsensical jumps in logic to arrive at a certain outcome. Some might argue that there are too many time-skips in the beginning chapters and I will have to say that I partially agree. While I find it reasonable to skip over their infancy, the segment regarding the separation from the protagonists’ home town, for example, was done way too abruptly and glossed over in a few sentences.
The separation felt far too abrupt, even for me, considering the presence of Rean and his ‘filial’ sentiments.
That connects to the topic of the narrative’s world building. I can’t say the world building is average, per se, but it certainly isn’t top-grade, in my opinion. Of course, it is still leaps and bounds ahead of most other cultivation-type novels, but I feel that even taking into account the ignorance of the twins and their non-existent information network, the world seems a pinch too shallow in my eyes.
Also, I feel the need to applaud the author for not developing any form of romance. Thank you for that. Really, I mean it. Though, as soon as any semblance of romance shows it’s disgusting face, I will be forced to drop this series, unfortunately. I am sick and tired of romance. It’s like a drug. You get a fleeting high when you start to use it, but then with continued exposure to it, not only do you become immune to it, it starts to become a poison for your mind and body. At least, that’s what I have found out.
Overall, it is a great novel, but for whatever reason, it seems to be overshadowed by the authors more prominent work ‘Is that a Wisp?’, which I have not yet read, unfortunately. The pacing is great, and the balance between high-tension scenes and more casual scenes are very well done. The author has managed to find success where many promising others have found naught but failure.
In any case, I do hope for updates sooner rather than later. Those two are very interesting to observe.
