Generic. Snobbish. Poorly written.Overall, a 5.5/10. The writing itself is 3/10. No humour found, at least for me, which is a massive minus (There's no Comedy tag to begin with so I'm just being unreasonable lol). No real personality found in the characters, 1/10. The plot too generic and cliché, not that I mind it. The MC is quite similar to the MC of Demon-limited Hunter, nonchalant to the point of being out of place. Quite evident that the author is a newbie. Translation is good though, so keep it up, lads.Here are the detailed rants if you are interested in reading more lol:1st person pov. The bane of my existence. Although there are great novels out there successfully use the 1st person pov, this novel isnt one of them.The MC is a complete block of wood. I cannot sympathized with any of his emotions, or maybe there isnt any to begin with. He's too nonchalant, to the point that it breaks the immersion.Scenes where he should be scared, however slightly, is glossed over. His excitement with only described with a few words, or just some generic, paraphrased sentences, without bringing out any uniqueness or, perhaps, humour and intrigue. Show, don't f*cking tell.Spoiler
My reaction when he got his second cheat is just some 'Oh. Cool.'
[collapse]The pacing is f*cking terrible. His first f*cking week in school is tens of chapters long, almost to the point of being fillers. Then, BAM! Timeskip to midterm. Hello? What the f*ck?The action scenes is meh. I maybe biased and influenced by the 'flat' atmosphere of the story, and thus cannot really immerse myself in the scenes and feel any suspense. The fighting scenes is moderately described, but some just end abruptly, wasting the f*cking chapters-long build up.SpoilerHis first minor boss (?) is just headshotted suddenly. Like, where's all that talk about surviving for some minutes and second phase powerup? I expect more struggle bruh. And after finish killing it, you don't even celebrate and just talk some sh*t about the reinforcement being late? Bruh I cannot feel any sense of accomplishment or relief. Also the godamned villain training arc lol. Talk sh*t about how easy it is to wipe the floors with other students only to be gangbanged and failed to protect your objectives. Where's the cautiousness? You are just being arrogant bruh. And I expect more tbh, considering there's less than 10 chapters in this so-called arc.
[collapse]The heroines. F*cking hell, Chinese heroines are even better than the ones in this novel (I may be too extreme). I wont even bother ranting about this, as some of the other reviews already did. Just know that they show romantic interest in the MC too fast. One is just being so from getting headpatted, one from dueling/sparring, and one from being beaten up. Well, maybe the last one isnt to that point yet tho.Oh yeah, and those f*cking unclear mentioning. 'That incident'? Go kys. At least don't make it so f*cking obvious that you are trying create a sense of mystery lol.
