This novel reeks of crappy webnovel writing.In a novel where you are regressed into another world with information on what's going to happen, the balancing between precarious situations and everything going the protagonist's way is very important. After all, no one wants to read about a Mary or Gary Sue that is omniscient, saving the day as a hero over and over again.This novel basically does just that. Our MC is extremely OP right from the beginning, and there are rarely any, if at all situations that make him exert a lot of effort. He's got the most extensive set of abilities he basically has be ability to do anything. Alright, that's fine if you know, the enemy is also just as OP. Except they aren't. The MC's plans always come to fruition, and nothing ever goes wrong. The events that he predicts always gets thwarted without much effort. There's not really any information gathering, prelude, or worldbuilding that goes into the disastrously events that the MC prevents. It's more like: he knows what's happening, and stops it with his OP abilities and connections with other people.Ok, but what about the characters? Typical from a novel where the MC knows each character from a game, the MC basically knows the personalities of all of the characters, and thus, it really does feel like he's playing a social simulation game with them rather than interacting with them as equals. Plus, all of the characters LOVE the MC. No one ever questions the MC on how he knows what's going to happen. Even if they did, they just trust him enough that they don't care that he's hiding information. The powerful gods and deities also don't try to get in his way, instead they just help him as much as possible without prying too deeply.So the end result is that you have the MC preventing a bunch of incidents over and over again with no big story arcs, with a slice of life sim game with the MC knowing the personalities and thoughts of everyone, and NPC characters that put unceasing trust in the MC for no reason.I know the translation quality jumps, and it's extremely erratic, but that's not the reason the novel is unreadable to me.
