Release That Witch

OMG TYTYTY holy I never thought this would get picked up so quickly and it's like 14 ch/wk my prayers have been answered, the great famine is over (and to those who say that the TL is worse than an MTL, any MTL reader can tell that you're lying. You will actually develop  aneurysms and brain tumors from the MTL, and I haven't gotten any yet).

Well, on to the actual review- This book is amazing; however, the MC isn't (too) OP. He has a good head on his shoulders, and that's about it. He uses this head of his to slowly evolve his city and T-rekt all the enemies that stand before him. It has the whole package of twists and turns, and one of my top 3 novels overall.

Dear Qidian, maybe you should try negotiating with Seki to take over the translation of Release That Witch. Current translator does poor job at translating and editing RTW. Latest chapter(376) even has parts which were not edited at all, pure MTL were left. Person her/himself outside the webnovel.com acts like an immature brat, causing conflicts and insulting other people. I'm sure you are well aware of your current reputation and this person doing good job lowering it further.

Great story with some nice character designs and vast, interesting world but it has some flaws. MC has so versatile knowledge and superior memory that it's sometimes too much (especially given his normal background, no preparation time and zero "superpowers", it's impossible for any mechanical engineer or any other engineer to accomplish something even remotely similar to what Roland did in such a short time and without painfully reinventing tons of little annoying things and prototyping). There are some technical errors in "science" part of the novel but if you aren't educated in the field it's hard to notice and most inventions and manufacturing processes are believable. Time to construct (even with witches powers) and encountering almost no problems designing everything on the other hand is a little bs. That said it's one of those rare novels where you can often learn something new that it's applicable and used in normal world.

Another problem is MC depends on witches powers too much even when there is a realistic option to do it conventional way and because of that some witches are somehow doing exponentially more work than their magic power reserves should normally allow (Soraya ;) ). Some witches powers are a little too convenient to situation and what I think is the biggest flaw of RTW is smooth sailing syndrome. Encountered problems are too easily overcome and some witches powers (especially healing/regenerating powers) destroy any feeling of danger. There was one moment when I really thought Roland will lose his arm and it was such a great opportunity to make him grow, nerf his skills and depend more on other people, I was seriously so excited to potential interesting changes but we got convenient reset and downplay of whole dangerous encounter. Author don't like dramaturgy and it seems he want to keep novel ****** and light to read.

There is very little emotional growth for our MC and some characters seems a little blank (Anna) but others make up for it for the most part. Romance in novel is subtle, almost non-existent and slow paced. There is a love ******** but it seems it will be resolved one way or another, no harem in sight.

Overall it's a great read. I recommend it to anyone who likes unorthodox, interesting world, science, kingdom building as these are RTW strongest points.

Translation here is mediocore. Some choices were made to suit english  readers and I think it wasn't a good idea. Well, we will see. It's readable at least.

The MC gets transferred into the body of a Prince (yeah he's the worst of his siblings). He has no cheats, aside a different perspective and otherworldly knowledge. the story has been quite satisfying and realistic.

Wow, must be the most corrupt novel out there. Not only can you not watch ads to get the next chapter, the price to unlock chapters are 8 stones AND they have like 50 chapters locked. Just look at power ranking number 1, library to heaven's path. 4 stones or watch an add, and just two chapters are "locked"/"bonus chapters".

All this for a half-arsed story with too much reliance on modern knowledge and a boring mc that doesn't even have any real powers... Yeah, nah.

MC that kicks ass without throwing a single punch.

Positives
- Great Side Characters
- Epic World building
- Smart MC
- Narration and viewpoints from different characters and angles

Negatives

- So far NONE! Jokee
Ok the Technobabble at some parts is skip worthy, but if you are a Geeky kinda guy then scratch this out as well

I am offended by the amount of spiritual stones required to read this.....

The story is been amazing thus the rating.

Sadly, it got locked behind premium. I used spirit stones to keep unlocking for awhile, even to buying some using cash just to continue reading. Furthermore it’s 8 stones instead of 4/ads on other novels. Additionally it’s roughly 15 pages on handphone app, but others goes to 20+ each chapter and doesn’t do this (Be reminded the pages are in handphone app.)

But, at the rate this is going I think I will only have to buy more and more. Thus I’m sorry and am going to let this go.

Behind 30+ locked chapters and counting.

With regards,
An extremely disappointed reader.

So it begins. We are now being forced to buy spirit stones.

A decently well written and translated novel that has been hurt by the new premium system. I dont know how you can keep a super fast releases tag when all of those releases are premium only, with the none of those chapters pushing the free chapters along, leading to stagnant reading to everyone who isnt premium. I wouldnt mind the system if it coexisted with the ads, or it was actually possible to afford a single novel with natural spirit stones, but it isnt, and so i have to be harsher.

Loved this manga until I realized its not a monogamy and he marries the underage-looking girl for reasons that made no sense to me. :crycrycry:
