I dont like rating novels 1 star because I understand how hard it is to create a story (and have over 11 novels) but at the same time, the ruining of such a interesting premise makes me unable to look past the efforts the author made. There are not many Asian hard sci fi novels that I find (ones with spaceships and planets etc) So when I first came across this I binge read 4 volumes before finally realzing the hard truth. THIS IS LITTERLY A TERRIBLE ISEKAI RESKINNED IN A SCI FI SETTING. It's worse then most isekai I have read to top it off. Ill make a quick list as to why I hate this novel for tricking me into hours of reading this thinking its a cool sci fi story.-MC takes advantage of vulnerable women, even a literal homeless teen that was about to get r worded. This is probably the biggest issue I have with this series and why its worse then most isekai. 3 volumes in AND THE PLOT IS STILL PICKING UP GIRLS FOR THE HAREM, THE AUTHOR EVEN HAS A MINOR TRY TO SLEEP WITH HIM (with a side plot of getting more s*upidly op, more on that later).-The sci fi element is almost worthless all things considered. The entire series could take place in a isekai world and the characters would act more or less the same. As a sci fi fan, I would be fine with all the harem nonsense but the sci fi lore and plot is a background and not the focus of the series. The author does redeem himself every now and then by adding cool lore, such as the food date chap, but that doesn't make up for the entire series. The COMBAT is the other thing that really upset me. Unlike in me, her, and the ballistic weaponry, (a much better sci fi adventure novel you should read instead) the spaceship combats scenes (imo) are boring due to how over powered the MC is. That isnt a bad thing if done right, but the combat is just bland. "Im rich and I have a op ship and max sheilds and max guns blah blah blah enemies all dead, whelp time to get 500 morbillion dollars." In MHBW, even though the MC is op-ish, the author for that puts effort into creating a setting that feels alive, like "beam jammers" and electronic warfare being a huge part, not to mention the BISHOP system. IN THIS NOVEL however the author does nothing creative at all just generic "my lasers and sheilds better then you so I win."-The money game and opness of the MC is boring. Theres litterly nobody he runs into that can even hurt his ship, and he never is even poor enough to consider doing somthing intresting to gain money other then blow up ships. 4 volumes in and theres no real over arching plot that is even a threat to the MC either. "Just read more it gets good" 4 VOLUMES IN AND THE PLOT IS BEACH EPISODE WITH A MINOR WHO WANTS TO JOIN THE HAREM how am I supposed to keep reading when nothing indicates it will get good ever.Tldr; read "me, her, and the ballistic weaponry" instead. It is actually creative with the sci fi element instead of copy pasting isekai tropes and making it somehow worse then normal isekai.
