My god what a waste of time, what even is this novel, how is this thing even rated so highly? What's up with this recent trend of having dumpster-fire novels being highly rated? Does the rating system even mean a thing anymore? Is novelupdates suffering from a review botting wave?The first thought that crossed my mind after reading 142 chapters was "this novel reads as if a japanese author tried to write his first cultivation novel and failed horribly"The novel is all over the place so at times you won't even know who is talking, because most chapters are filled with meaningless conversations between two or three people and some of them are chapter-long! Imagine reading hundreds of chapters worth of random yapping and childish jokes.. By the end of the novel you will be eating crayons and drinking glue because of the lack of braincells.I started reading thanks to the synopsis but the synopsis is a huge bait, because the dumb, braindead, beta-like MC literally goes to enlist as a guard to make money on the third chapter.. No, you didn't misread, the author does some cringeworthy mental gymnastics trying to justify how good of an idea joining the guards to make money is.I'm convinced that this is a japanese novel disguised as a cultivation novel because it has the isekai novel starter pack, which includes: beta MC, author being obsessed with femenine men, idle chatter, forgettable characters, s**tty generic female companion, MC being dumbed down just for the sake of annoying the reader, nonsense blushing.If you consume and enjoy isekaitr*sh, then you'll love this turd, if you don't, stay away from this thing, as far as possible.Oh wait wait wait, almost forgot about the translator, my god the translator..The dude won't shut up, you'll see infodump-like notes irrelevant to the novel all the time, also the classic please give me money comment, overall a terrible reading experience
