I don't always write reviews, but I feel like I had to for this novel. Despite all the praise this novel received, I couldn't even read past chapter 20. Here's why.First and foremost, the translation and update stability is top notch. Now to the main problem. The story have way too many plot holes. For example, he came from Earth to another world that is only similar to Earth, yet he assumed that everything is the same, especially herbs and other ingredients. He's a scientist, yet he magically possessed the ability to make realistic drawings of different herbs. Moreover, events just popped out of nowhere to force the plots. A beggar telling you he's good at making drugs, so you just hire him without any testing, make him your chief drug refiner, and give him a 50% share of your business?The MC is a normal scientist, he got pickpocketed. He got helped by someone to catch the thief, then he suddenly invited him into making a business contract because he can smell herb from that guy? Not to mention his follower literally got pulled away against her will to become an immortal out of nowhere. Two paragraphs later, it's as if he's already forgotten about her, and everything is back to normal. Was this so the author doesn't have to bother writing about the interaction with the girl?All in less than half a chapter. Does that even make sense? Then some assassin tried to poison him with the poison from a tree with heavy smell? He, a normal person who just suffered from a fail attempt at opening meridians, was careful enough to smell a cup of water in his room before drinking? Moreover, just as the Lords were talking about how to deal with him, he showed up for absolutely no particular reason. Why? There are no reason at all for him to show his face. The author was too lazy to write something like "the lord invited him
Having read halfway through 60 chapters of this novel, I would like to say that it is really an interesting one... However, the author's way of writing it is making the story line way too predictable. I would expect to see harem happening soon. By the way, good job to the translator for changing the way of translation and saved my eyes from the enormous amount of 'young lad's used.
