Fireworks Across the Border

Recommend: Reading. Not really sure about stability of updates, so I just put it at three. Writing quality, story development, and world background seem decent so fours across the board. Character design is three because there are characters I like, even if it's characters I like because I like to hate them, and also characters that I should like or hate but I just... kind of feel bleh about. Unfortunately, the MC is one of those characters that I feel kind of... meh... about at times when I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to just like the MC as a general rule of thumb. It's possible though, that this is just not my type of MC and others will like him. I do have a positive opinion of the story overall though, and I like most of it; even some aspects of the things I don't quite like overall, such as the MC... I don't hate him outright. This is why I would recommend giving this story a read. I don't think you'll come away from reading this with a feeling of having wasted your time. It's above average quality, in my opinion.

The story is decent, pokemon themed concept but the author hates the MC something fierce, kid made a down right stupid choice that from the world perspective makes NO sense. MC also chooses 'the road less traveled' to help fix his obviously bad choice in starting partners this would have been fine if the author had left the MC average or above somewhere else but NO. Mana capacity, refining, everything that defines this worlds cultivation cycle literally laughs at the kid. Yes he has exceptional willpower and discipline but gets him no better than last place. As the story progresses you realize that many of the decisions he makes confuse people, because from their worlds perspective it makes no fucking sense, why would you give up a MUCH better monster, try to overcome their peak by cultivating yourself so that Ashlyn can benefit from your symbiotic relationship, and deliberately hamstring yourself every chance you get? Next the romance tag, who the HELL lied to you and told you ANY part of your story was romantic or even implied the potential for romance when every female character either makes a smarter life choice and thus gets better opportunities, realizes this man has no life ahead of him since both he and his partner have no talent, or hate him for the very choices he makes?Okay so the premise is good, I love the life partners, the power structure, the female characters and other social interactions, the detailed and refined world setting, even the struggle the MC faces. But the impossible circumstance, tue severe lack of power progression, the lack of romantic progress, and the POS excuse for editing...I can understand that the writers first or even second or third language wasn't English but the editor has NO excuse for this horrendous attempt at a translation. Even after they took over it wasnt a substantial improvement as depicted by the difference between the first 10 chapters and the 11+, I personally took the time out to 'edit' the chapters and Google translate, my dog, and grammar lyrics ALL did a better job... constant changes in tense, consistent changes in gender, little or NO punctuation, inability to maintain proper names, completely mistranslating entire sentences, I mean come on really? Yes I've read worse translated novels on this site however my review of them was just as bad, if not worse, than this one is. The regular mistakes every once in a while like Solo Leveling are acceptable, but we now pay for this novel which means we expect better quality, congrats you finally get paid for your writing, oh **** now they expect better quality 👌 your failing friend.All-in-all the only reason this novel is even in the top 100 is because of the pokemon ripoff, the only reason its in the top  50 is because of its stable story progression, and the only reason I kept reading was its potential. From me? 2.6 at best ~

While I was down on the floor I felt someone pick me up and push me towards the exit.

He broke his posture during the following second, before making a quick thrust forward. The rapier's blade immediately guided the air around Haru, forming an extremely sharp wind blade that gushed towards the Lamia.

Stretching as I Got up from my desk and looked over there is about 12 building being built but are not progressing due to lack of resources as Stone and wood intake are not enough to keep up with the Building but they are coming along and also today the Sand should be coming in allowing us to build more complicated buildings.
