Journey of the Eighth World

I loved reading HJC on That Other Site, and I am happy that this novel isn't going to get somehow lost by the wayside with all the shenanigans that happen. However, these first chapters uploaded here (729-731) are really bugging me - almost to the point where I think this would be better off getting dropped.Ringless Ground Purging Set??? This is one of the worst translations I could imagine. Hate-Ground-No-Handle is the translation on That Other Site, and not only does it make more sense, but it actually sounds cool. I won't go into the other irregularities, because they aren't as big of a deal, imo.If you are retranslating a book from the beginning, then you deserve the chance to translate however you see fit. But when you are picking up where others left off, you owe it to everyone to maintain some degree of consistency - especially when it's choosing to be consistent with the best parts put forth by the prior translators.

30 chapters review........First, why do people give it a low rating when this novel only had 3 chapters? Why even bother?Ok, let's begin, the mc is transported to an unknown world with the system from his game, though he starts at the lowest level he does have all the items in his inventory from the game. As in the sypnosis he is a hoarder with 10 year of resources inside his inventory.Scrolls (buffs, debuffs ect.), calling cards (Summoning card) and resources ect. In the novel is stated that he can summon a rarity unit (Basically overpowered) but doesn't do so as it requires enourmas amounts of resources and diamonds (Diamonds are the P2W currency most likely) so the mc didn't hesistate to ignore it.The mc just uses low-rarity common units.To get diamonds he needs to do quests that he get randomly depending on the situation.The mc himself is quite smart and cautious, from what I have read, although the mc refuses to use high-end units and resources, when his life is in-danger he won't hesistate to use it. Though for now he spams low level scrolls and items like candy to buff his units.Translation Quality: 5* (Nice)SoU: 5* (trial read)Story development: 4* (There is actually some action in the first 30 chapters! Also, it looks quite promising)Character design: 4* (Smart, cautious and a treasure hoarder mc with some emotion in the side characters.)World background: 3* (I mean, at this point every world background is getting 3 stars as there is nothing told except the east thing where people have black hair and such, also the destination.)Overall score: 4.2Personal rating: 4.4

i am giving it a 5 not because it's great, but because the reviews are overly harsh. As far as the "I'm Actually a Cultivaiton Bigshot" copies go, this is my favorite one, and I've read (and dropped) 4 others.

Not enough ratings? With all these chapters? This is an insult! Go forth my brothers! This novel only needs a small push! (Although I think nobody would read this review haha, and I'm saving chapters for a reading marathon, don't spoil me :'3)

I really wanted to like this, but I am fed up with this garbage.Firstly, the constant reference to manga/anime and the like is so cliche and unnecessary, while many might find it relatable, it's out of place, and doesn't inspire any confidence in both the author and protagonist.Secondly, the premise is ridiculous, he wasn't awake while every other single person on earth was... really? Then this supposedly grand being takes an undue interest in an otherwise ordinary, if not downright hopeless prospect. Why not groom someone who isn't such a pathetic fool? Lastly, the writing rubs me the wrong way, whether it's the first person narration, or transitioning to third person.  While, there isn't anything wrong with first person, it's unconventional, and it doesn't help when you alternate to third person. Then there's the dialogue, which when you choose to have the protagonist converse with God, you aren't helping yourself out. The dialogue doesn't convey any depth or intricacy as it pertains to the speaker, which can be a hurdle, but when you have a supposedly nigh-omiscient character, I can't help but find it odd when he speaks as though he is a fledgling preteen. Which is only made worse when you capitalise his dialogue, and also include exclamation marks. I can understand the capitalisation, but unless he is actually shouting, there's no need to insert exclamation marks. Frankly you could've have done neither, and highlighted the manner of speech, either amplitude or depth, with dialogue tags. Overall, terrible characters, terrible writing, the story is a joke, and though I didn't see much of the world, I can only assume it would also be poorly developed.
