Good concept, mediocre characters, horrible translation.

It's a mix between I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire and Eminence in Shadow.

Although the concept is good, the characters are really mediocre, I can't even remember the MC's name, other than the times when it is specifically mentioned. The backstories seem contrived and pointless, and the author drops random people into the story at random intervals. Author has introduced over 10 characters, yet only 3 matter.

A thing that the author never does is name the character, and it's really annoying, they all refer to the other party without a name, so it get's confusing who the hell is talking 90% of the time, flashbacks are random, and make zero sense in the context of the matter, and just generally s*upid.

Now, let me talk the translation. It's just plain horrible, it seems to have just put it into Deepl and uploaded it onto his website without the slightest proofreading or editing. alot of sentences are cut off into -'......', which is s*upid as it's always midsentence so I have to spend half a minute figuring out wtf the author meant by that. The grammar is horrible, the writing is convoluted, the website has an ad that stays on your screen for the entire time whilst blocking 1/8th of it. It's just plain lazy overfilled with annoying ad's that has almost made me want to copy paste the text into docs.

TL;DR Horrible translation and website, alright story.
