This is basically a chill slice of life novel.The novel starts out pretty good. The author settled up some really good world-building and the novel is pretty decently written. Unfortunately, everything just became really boring after that.The plot became uselessly slow, a lot of the happenings can definitely be shortened. And despite them being longer than they should be, barely any of the happenings actually contributed to the overall plot at all. To take an example without spoilers, the plot goes somewhat like this: MC needs to to this certain castle to find something --> MC got the castle and surprise! Bad guys the MC needs to beat are there! --≫ MC defeats bad guys, and find out the thing he is searching for isn't there, instead he finds the CLUE to the thing he needs to find. In other words, nothing happened in this arc, which is actually pissing me off because I just used my time reading literally nothing.I don't know why the side characters are introduced. Some of them are just there for no reason other than to react to the MC's power. A lot of them are suddenly introduced and are incredibly forgettable. They barely have any personality that you can remember them for.For example:Spoiler
There's this adventurer party that was introduced in the first dungeon arc. Their personality can be basically summarized like this: A kind elf girl, a rogue who served as the comedic relief except he failed horribly at it, a mage girl who likes adorable things, and a warrior who for some reason is there even though there is no reason for him to be there at all. All very generic.
[collapse]Also guess what? After the incredibly boring first arc, there is barely any progress made to contribute to the plot except finding the clue for the next location. No character development, no amazing side character introduced (instead generic side characters are introduced). Nothing happened. Ain't no way!A lot of the previously enjoyable plot are also used so repetitively that it became boring. For example: the describing the MC eating food for the 4324235 times.Besides the things mentioned above, the author did very well at adding description and setting up the world building.The world-building are set up really well. It is immersive and have no plot holes (at least none that I can find). The efforts behind the descriptive words can also been seen.The fight scenes are written well. They don't give you much emotions but they are written decently and descriptive enough unlike much of the generic op protagonist novels where the fight is basically one three sentence paragraph.In conclusion, the main problem of this novel is its slow and unengaging plot, and shallow and weak characters, while its strength is its very good world-building and descriptive language.You should best read this novel while you have nothing to read. Or you just want to chill and waste some time.
