1-the mc doesn't have any ambition when it comes to his personal power he is more of a teacher and scientist than a cultivator. As mentioned by author himself he is weaker than people his own level but his students become stronger way faster thanks to his teaching.
so if you are looking for a super ambitious and tryhard mc I recommend against reading this plus the first 10 chapters are a slow burn and frustrating to read but after that 10 chapters which is more like a prologue it will become better.
2- taking into consideration the quality of this book the world building is severely lacking we don't know about the cities that mc visit like population, culture, architecture.....no direction such as east, west.... no sense of distance, no means of transportation, geographical clearance, no language barrier btw different places almost everything is left to reader's imagination.
Thank you author for this great read!
TLDR
very nice story, with subpar writing and characters but is excellent for passing time.
1: Writing Quality: Let us be honest, the writing is garbage. The author jumps between tenses constantly and uses the same phrases over and over again. This sort of writing makes the story bland and often messes with my immersion. I would suggest the author to go and get an editor to help him proofread the writing. I don't mean this as an insult to the author, I very much like the premise of the story and I would love to see it executed well, writing-wise.
2: Stability of Updates: Not much to be said here, as I am not fully caught up.
3: Story Development: I love the pacing of the story. It very much complements the "War & Military" aspect of the story. I love Kingdom Building stories and I like when they are executed well. Plot wise and Pace wise, the author is doing a great job.
4: Character Design: I had this at 3 stars before but now I made it 2 simply because there is no one character in this story that is unique. I know this what you typically expect of a cultivation novel, but that should never excuse the author of falling into the same troupes. All, and I mean literally every last one of them including the MC, is one dimensional. Side characters that have no brain of their own: check, FL that is cold and strong at first, but turns into an extension of the MC with absolutely nothing to add: check, an ambitious MC that... you get the idea.
Character Interactions: This is a part of character design, however it is highly dependant on how well the author designs the characters personalities and such. So when you have all the same looking characters you get the same character interactions at every turn.
MC meets someone new, said person disrespects him, mc says or does something, said person is amazed. and just repeat the process.
5:World Background: The world has a very nice premise. It has been perfectly illustrated thus far. The rules of the world have also been stated, which means the various power dynamics are clear and make sense. This sets the stage for a very nice kingdom building developments. Nicely done.
To be honest I wouldn't have written this review if I didn't believe in the potential of this story. And to the author, if you are reading this I would like to say the following. This is your story and as the author/ creative mind behind it. You have every write to explore. Don't bind yourself to the troupes and limits that have been set. Explore with your writing, experiment with the characters. Make them awfully cruel, kind, brave and cowards. Or a mix of all of these, because one characteristic can never describe a human being otherwise they turn into caricatures. Try to make the world move even if the MC didn't exist, cus right now it doesn't feel like that. All I want to say is, experiment and go wild with it. All the best.
The grammar and writing quality, in general, is good, I had no problem understanding anything.
Looking forward to the next chapters!
The power system isn't clearly explained. I know there are numbered levels. There are knights, saints and sages. But what they can do or what's the difference between real is never explained.
The world is unknown. We know some countries and cities name but we don't know where they are.
The characters aren't very well constructed. What are their aspirations ? What do they like? They power up and that's it. It's just cultivating and nothing else. The MC is "smart" but he makes stupid decisions which works because the author makes him succeed. I mean, he is boastful of how quick he can make others cultivate and everything is fine because he knows others will see the benefits he brings, bla bla bla. But not everything is logical in life and you can't predict all things correctly. He shows too much while being too weak.
I'm sure there are other things but I stopped after 60 chapters. I was tired to see power ups being too easy and too fast.
