Dissapointed.

Even if you can get past the not so great translation quality, the story itself isn't all that great.

First of all, literally every "chant" he uses is "Hoi hoi hoi no hoi *spell name*". Wtf is that?! That s**t is so freaking annoying to read! It's like he has eighth grade syndrome and a mental illness at the same time!

Next is a point that was already brought up and it's that the litrpg elements are just a defect in the plot, not only does it annoyingly quantise everything but it also makes it so that all the power the MC could've had from all his years of research is severly limited because of the s*upid titles. Now he only amounts to a really good magician.

Lastly is what happened just before I stopped reading. So the MC want's to help the villagers whose well has dried up. You would think than someone who's been doing research for 5k years would come up with a clever idea like using earth and water magic to locate and create a new natural well right? Well you'd be wrong, because for some cocaphony reason, water magic can't be used without being near a water source?! Yet for some other even more cocaphony reason, ICE MAGIC CAN BE USED NO PROBLEM! The MC then proceeds to launch a giant ice chunk into the old well, chop it up using sword magic, and melt it using fire magic, lather rinse and repeat until the well is full and then problem solved UNTIL THE WELL GOES DRY AGAIN AND HE HAS TO REPEAT THE PROCESS! 'Clever Protagonist' my ass!

You know I wanted to give this novel a 3 star out of fairness since I've only read up to chapter 5 but the more I think on it the more I feel like it deserves a lower rating especially after the manga got my hopes up for nothing.

Finally Merry and Julian are married. I literally loved how he welcomed her and everyone adored her, and the way he introduced to his parents and ancestors. I loved how Julian shared his pain with her and their steamy hot romance. Also I would like to see more of Victoria and Justin scene together.

I’m giving up, the story just goes round and round. Torturing, killing, sex, hospital… I also skip other chapters and just read what is interesting. Just kill madelyn already and lets see what zach would do. :/

Great. A story like this leaves you asking for more. Recommended!

I don’t know how or why you figured out how to make something painful to keep reading but somehow you managed it, definitely not worth it.
