The author loves repeating things over and over. Although the chapters are already short, each new chapter contains repetitions and infodumps. The more lore there is, the more author repeats it. He treats you like an idiot who can't even remember basic concepts. I can't say I'm happy about it.In addition, characters are a bit too flat. Each is, at best, a set of some basic character traits combined with a favorite hunting style or lack thereof. I think the author is just inexperienced. He keeps missing great opportunities to flesh out characters because the story is mostly told from MC's POV and it's done rather passively, like some summary. I'm getting tired of it.Spoiler
Let's take for example the latest translated chapter. The tribe is undergoing a groundbreaking change, but MC is just "I detect magical power in girls" which was followed by another boring grandpa-infodump about lore, and it was a repeat of what we already know. Why be so blatant about it? Why the author won't shift the POV and show how the kids experience awakening of magic? Flesh them out. Turn it into a magical happening.
[collapse]Also, I don't like the power creep. I'm afraid there won't be any tension or suspense if MC will keep collecting miracles like pokemons. Although I'm glad the novel isn't about cultivation (+1 star for just that), the story still feels shallow, like most other Chinese novels do. I'm not ready to read another 500 chapters like that.
