wtf is up with the title, and u said Korean so I'm guessing mc will get ntred here too right................................................................................................................
First at all,I don't think the author is using filler words and filler passages or even filler characters up to this point. The author has a nice way to describe things being not too superficial nor too detailed (both kinda a bit annoying if done all the time for me). I like reading this light novel. It's fun and there is a character development to see - socially (kinda totally upside down though, if the MC thinks THAT is people oriented... - but that's part of the humor I guess) and physically as well. The character is kinda mature and focused on what is important to begin with as he also needs to regard their finances. At the same time the Mc does not adapt and is kinda asocial towards others because of his system, without yet exaggerating it nor being too harmful or breaking the law, but staying at legal boundaries. The cultivation system is interesting and the system seems to troll the MC but the Mc sees this as an advantage as well, maybe the system has a plan and fits perfectly to him? While the Mc got OP in comparison to the classmates, he is mindful of dangers, if he would expose himself. On one hand he's creating distress to gainPoints for the system. On the other hand he stays low key and develops fast under the radar or possible dangers. All in all, a very funny and mindful read, with having slice of life implemented in it as well (which is not a filler in my opinion but slice of life - filler would be more like unreasonable action scenes popping up with no regards to the story for me)So I like it. This novel makes it into my top 3, where I don't differentiate what is better or worse.
Again this type of novel.Just no.Again this type of novel.Just no.Again this type of novel.Just no.Again this type of novel.Just no.Again this type of novel.Just no.
The premise is interesting: our MC basically trades his emotions and lifespan in return for the best talent with swords ever, and has only 5 years before he dies. He has to achieve his goal -- revenge on his extremely powerful family that wanted to use him as a cultivation resource for a cousin -- before that time is up, so he has to reach extreme cultivation levels in the sword. The story goes on past the point where he gets revenge, and his goal becomes achieving the highest level of cultivation he can. Pros:- the early characterization of him after he trades in his emotions as someone who is amoral and only cares about other people positively or negatively to the extent that they can benefit him ... is quite refreshing compared to the lustful and prideful MCs we might have seen before.- early on, the time limit seems to add a sense of urgency to the MC's development, and give the sense that the novel will advance quickly Cons:- at some point he decides that following his inner desires to punish evil helps his cultivation progress, so he starts acting more like a typical hypocritical MC; this goes away later after he powers up some more.- the author stops mentioning the time limit at some point, the quest becomes a typical power up quest, and the plot starts to drag on.- the chapters devolve into mostly filler in the later stages of the novel- the QI updates are too slow considering that most of the chapters are filler.I like the world, cultivation system, the original premise of the MC selling his soul (essentially) and having a hard time limit before he dies, and the MC originally not caring about how other people think or act unless it impacts him. But the author seems to have decided to drag out the plot and pad the story with filler, and QI's slow updates exacerbate the bloody-spit-inducing exasperation of the stretched out plot. Overall it's a nice world, and the plot is interesting. However the filler-rific nature is overwhelming, so I don't recommend reading this until it's been completely translated, so you can skip and skim as needed and don't feel the annoyance of waiting 2 weeks to get a reasonable 4 days worth of plot development.
To much convoluted and artificial plot. Feels forced. Let us try another novel.Next one ....................................................................................................................
Author, I really like the story so far but its sad to see that this novel does not get the recognition it deserves. Which is why I have a proposition. Why don't you try reuploading the novel? You might get more readers that way and maybe even get a contract earlier.
The story is exceptional engrossing to the point that I waste way too much money lol but it was so addicting I couldn’t put it down. The only gripe I have is the grammar but nonetheless, the novel was awesome from the first chapter to the last.
