The novel has good points but also serious cons, it largely depends on how tolerant you are of certain aspects.I really like the writer's ability to craft characters, although it's sometimes slightly inconsistent, the MC is actually intelligent. He has real-life intelligence instead of novel-irrationality.ML is a very decent person, not the cold-CEO or borderline Yandere, he's your average guy with good morals and a broad range of emotions.My three stars are all for the characterisation because the rest is not that great.Cliché, the stories are just extremely cliché, basically the ones you find in every QT ever written, mostly in the same way. Remark: In the same way. That part of the sentence is there for a reason.That's the point, they go in exactly the same way, MC's solutions are the same 1k other MC's have used.Read through QTs on jjwxc and at least half have the same solutions. MC isn't different, how he tackles the worlds is the standard in "realistic" QTs that have been popping up in the past 5 years.Maybe it's new for people who don't often read non-translated QT, but if you do, the "cliché" in the title means exactly that, everything from the worlds to the MC and his solutions is cliché.Don't expect variety or surprises, but if you only read translated novels, then maybe it's novel and interesting enough, there don't seem to be many similar works being fan-translated.Unnecessary filler, the first arc is 40% online comments, in the second they recap the whole damn arc in addition to general information no one needs to know about a QT world.Sometimes 3 or more chapters can be completely skipped without you missing anything important, and this repeats several times in every arc.They are around 40-50 chapters each of which 20 to 40% are filler.The system and task aspect gets mostly forgotten around the end of arc one, in two it was basically gone and the writer even forgot certain facts about it.There's a serious problem with inconsistency that's caused by dragging out arcs and shifting the focus from transmigration-tasker to virg*n Mary MC saving the people.MC's immense protagonist halo is another big con, it adds to the inconsistency because it contradicts not only his background (professional singer with no background or higher education) but the transmigration aspect of the scum having the biggest MC-halo possible.This aspect too has been totally forgotten after arc 1.Some minor points that seem to have been done just to break the general BL standards but are so in-your-face that it has the opposite effect, like most women being inherently good while 99% of men are evil.The writer obviously has talent and skill when it comes to characterisation, but their storytelling and execution are very poor.It's worth a shot if none of these bother you, generally like QTs with decent MLs, and have read the best ones already, otherwise there are better options.
