The Archaic System

Thank you all for giving my novel a chance. I am a very active author as I read daily on Webnovel as well. I will try to respond to all questions you have and appreciate any criticism you have that can help me improve. I hope you enjoy The Archaic System - A New Beginning!

If you are looking for reincarnation with fantasy and apocalyptic elements mixed in then do give this a try. I read all the current chapters in 1 sitting. Grammar is 5/5 as well. Have some spirit stones Author-san! More chapters please~

This is a nice novel! The story development is not slow and not too fast. So far, every chapter has  something that actually happened. Not like some novels where some chapters will just focus on his/her thoughts. I look forward to how the story goes. This is actually worth my stone. Too bad it's not included for voting.

This is definitely a must read. The pacing of the story is very well done. Not only does the author create a very believable world background, but builds up ******* and atmosphere that is expected of the genre.

The characters so far are lively in their own sense and there is no lack of conspiracies and back stabbing potential for an interesting villain and protagonist clashes.  Look forward to seeing this story through.

This is one of the best originals I've seen on this site and everyone should try to read it.

That being said there are two major faults with worldbuilding I'd like to point out. This shouldn't stop anyone from trying it, though.

First, the money. This new world works like a tribal society. There's no agreement between tribes or races to enforce the usage of gold and silver as currency. No one trusts one another, humans and non-humans. There's no reason for gold and silver to be accepted as currency to the whole world. At best it could maybe be traded by weight in gold, but even that is fickle. People need survivability, not precious metals from Earth that should have no value there.

The worst is that the author had the perfect plot device to avoid using gold: Essence. If people could exchange Essence between them, there is no reason for gold and it's pretty clear that, plot wise, essence is meaningful for everyone, no matter the race, and universally acceptable.

Second: Manuals. The world has a system where characters can level up stats or get skill from monsters they kill, using 'Essence'. Yet, the author added books that the MC would find and learn techniques, Wuxia-style.

That really didn't go well with his system plot. It would be far better for them to be regular skills from the system.

Like the dagger technique he got by killing a bandit, for example, instead of a book the character should have a chance to gain the skill of the target, monster or human, this way he would have only the skills the Author wants him to have in the end.

Like I said, overall this is a very good novel, but these two points stuck like a sore thumb for me. I'd even advise the author to rewrite them. It'd be a pain, but worth the hassle.

I really like the world you've formulated here, very interesting take on the rebirth/isekai genre. Seems like a very good start to an interesting story! Please keep up the good work, we'll be in your care!

I really don't have a thing about perfection, but hey it suits the story very well and you really did it. Not like it's totally flawless but I just can't give you less.. I.. I just can't. It's really great, excluding the update stability which the world of readers really wants. Nice work anyways hahaha Hope you continue giving us great story development. See ya in your next updates ^^

The plot so far is going well! There are mysteries, lucky encounter and hardworking-protagonist vibe and other possible developments I hope it remains that way and there is no unnecessary plot drags later. Giving some power stones.
