1: Deal with a lot of science and a fair amount of Psuedo science. Don’t get me wrong, I think author does a pretty good job of staying accurate. But its still fantasy. Some suspension of disbelief is still required.
2: info dumps. Omg so many info dumps. They are usually cool so I have enjoyed them. I generally like detailed novels over fast pace and lacking content. This novel would be pretty fast pace without the info dumps. I think it strikes a good middle ground but if info dumps are a no no for you then this probably isn’t for you.
Overall those are my two warnings! If those aren’t a problem for you I 100% recommend trying this novel. It’s not #1 of those Im currently reading but it’s definitely near the top! Oh also low romance. I like this but if you need heavy romance or harem this isn’t for you at least so far.
The writer has a good hold of his writing style, and is very consistent overall. I like the story progression and generic motivation behind the MC. However, there is a glaring plot hole that is not covered at all. There is absolutely no mention of edged weapons at all in the academy time, but it was mentioned during 1st mission. This implies that they exist in this world. MC or his friends never encountered swords or other weapons when MC said that the land expansion of humans using gunpowder weapons was in stalemate. With the world low on technology, but still very much developed, it seems weapon forging would have been a great boon to humanity.
Making this a complete martial arts novel is cool. Depending solely on flesh and bones to survive and excel without armor and weapons is a very good concept, but projectiles should be included. Humans created shields and bows of wood before metal, and it is established that trees are plentiful in this world.
Cultivation without any energy to depend upon is very challenging and I commend the author to make it this detailed. Maybe they introduce it later on. They are already hinting at lightning, wind attributes, and whatnot, and if they do introduce energy/mana/qi I am curious as to how they incorporate it into a story without much foreshadowing. Overall at this point, I am bored of highly detailed martial art and want some exciting flexs instead of reasonable disapointment.
I want to read it but I have some questions
Does this story contain vulgar metaphors like other cultivation stories such as young masters, face slapping and repetitive events?
As for the power system, does it depend on experience and talent, or on the nonsense of medicines, pills and of the Dow?
Finally, are the side characters alive and have ideas, or are they brain dead characters?
