I don't normally rate things 5 stars unless they're truly perfect, but since I'm the first I wanna give it a boost. Thank you Titan Translation for the hard work.First off: Harem tag. So far this novel is heading in the direction of a "true harem ending" where all the girls know about each other and willingly share one man. They are all "incomparably beautiful" each with her own charms. The only negative in my opinion is that their feelings and actions are somewhat metaphysically influenced by his power. Not to the point of mind control, but more like induced lust which is conflated with love.Second: MC. He's not unlikable. However, he often makes baffling decisions, which make it hard to really like him. Most egregious is his repeated tolerance and forgiveness to his enemies. These people are actively hostile and pose a legitimate threat to your life, livelihood, and family. But because he's more powerful than them, he turns the other cheek, again and again. In addition, he's the least h**ny teenage harem protagonist in any CN novel I've read. Not quite JP novel levels of dense and sexless, but close. It's frustrating, but I think he's not clueless, just taking his time.Spoiler
It's actually kinda funny though, when he turns down a NTR situation by healing the old dude with ED instead of imp**gnating his wife.
[collapse]Third: The powers. They aren't laid out in clear terms., which allows them narrative flexibility. At the same time, they aren't terribly overpowered. They don't make him a genius, they don't give him money, they don't make him automatically know how to handle every situation. They make him stronger, and they give him some control over nature, and that's basically it. However, he's able to use those powers in interesting ways, which is what makes them fun to read about.Finally, I wanted to mention that it's modern-day. This isn't actually made clear for a long time. He's from a village, which means there's no mention of computers, phones, internet, cars, etc, for many chapters. With the Fantasy and Xuanhuan genres, and the "Fantasy World" and "Sword and Magic" tags, it could easily be misunderstood, and I found it a bit confusing at first.
