This, by all means is an objectively bad novel. It has all the bells and whistles of what could be the single most blatant attempts at plagiarism I've ever seen. Arifureta is the original, I guess "source" material for this novel. The starting plotline, where the MC gets yeeted into the nether because of traitors is the same- albeit with some touch ups on this novel. The massive jump in levels and amount of skills also holds true in both cases. And, not to mention the blatant ripoff of the mana characteristics when crafting being crimson lightning. The similarities continue far and deep into the novel, however, it does just enough different to not be under the scrutiny of legal authority (at least, not that I'm aware of).As someone who's learnt how harmful plagiarism is the hard way, I legitimately do not want to support this author.With that being said, in a vacuum, where my perception of this novel would have been without the disdain for the blatant, blood curdling skirting around the border of complete parsitisation of another work. I would've enjoyed this, I'm a sucker for arifureta despite my lack of enthusiasm for harem novels. And this would've served as a good time killer. Sure it doesn't have any rigorous grinding or actual thought put into skill selection, but that's a decision to streamline the whole thing.If arifureta is your thing, you'll feel right at home here. Well, granted you'll have to make a pilgrimage over the corpse of ideals to even even get as far as I have.
