Leveling with the Gods Chapter 220 Discussion

Status: Dropped

I considered this a 4.5 star novel from chapter 1-100.

Dropped at chapter 220

Pros :

Great world building. Unlike SLR this is more consistent, two novels that has a lot if similarities but the other ones chockfilled with plot holes. This one, not too much which is good.

Enjoyable, I found this a lot more enjoyable than something like Omniscient Readers.

Great Characterization, as someone who is actively into myths, the way the author slots each character into each roles perfectly serves the story.

Author makes the mundane interesting, the ones without the fights or MC just going out and grinding are probably the best parts of this novel.

Cons:

Translation goes downhill at chapter 80. By 110 every chapter has atleast 5 gender mistakes. By chapter 170 every chapter is interchanging names [Hephaestus >Hefestos, Sun OhGong (I hate this) , Sun Wukong, Ash Eyes > Cinder Eyes, Holy Fire> Sacred Fire] There’s many more and it changes back THEN back again.

Fights are probably the weakest link, I could accept the MTL quality translation but fights is where I drew the line. It’s one sentence the paragraph break. Exhausting to the eyes. Kills the momentum, intensity, tension, and everything else necessary for a blood boiling fight. Oh and the pattern is mostly pokemon like [Yuwon uses thunder bolt] [Zeus resists] something like that. Did I mention how much I hate the one sentence paragraphs?

At chapter 220 it because too self serving. There was basically 5 chapters mentioning how Son Ohgong is HERE! Dont worry he is HERE! Yes he has come to save us!’ It’s too corny and the novel has lost its magic at this point.
