agree with exzeal + was an ok first look into chinese culture as well. or retrospect the "martial-something' or was it war or even worse iirc combat? lol cringe translation like combat king xddd was/is super cringe. main remark. other than that ive also read like 1.5k+, the chapter have gotten so short and the peanut gallery is dominant. good stuff is mc being like talanted in cultiuvation and sometimes guiding others~ - relatively interesting and not too common a concept - at least for a non teacher\master focused kinda story and even for those the depth of mc insight is abit remarkable - id maybe go so far as to say maybe author main if not only strenngth, i guess. other ok points is male companions - not romantic ofc but like freinds. it also has female companions which at some points are seperated cuz idk why lol cuz they like a mysterious background or something. even cute\cool dog companion - the classic dare i say big yellow... another annoying aspect worth remarking is power reset completely effective relative to locals after ascension. he can absorb stuff to gain their chars -early he absorbed bird and got wings but after that he absorbed wings twice more lol but in upper (mid\mid low?) realm he couldnt fly for some reason lmfao...
mount and blade fanfic basis? early there's no magic or even info about magic except the system in all it's magicalness. there's no power progression for Mc. but. system enforces forces quest with penalty deducting lifespan and no ability to refuse quests. disgusting. I wanna curse at the author. blashpeming mnb.
love the power system detailing of stats and explanation of strengths in terms of stats numbers, and how much stats each skill adds etc - calculation levels basically unseen in novels let alone cn wns.
about plot being abit worse, abit repetitive - maybe... the bit about time inconsistency - yea, but I think it's not a big deal. Anyway to me the power system and detailed power leveling is what's important and it's execution here imho is awesome.
however sharp/random end. I wish it was 2~3k ch.
Also major issue - it's under urban life genre - alright there's some urban settings but atleast tag it as fantasy or maybe marital arts/xianxia/xuanhuan or some of these together so when I look for stories of these genres I won't miss these kinda gems~......
I rate 3/5 cuz I don't wanna be too critical... but I wanna rate it 1 cuz I like game system (tho prefer not in game but like game world turned real like tlm~) but these kinda vrrmmorpg +regression or like in general regression with no interesting description is too common and too cringe. also those where Mc is betrayed by BFF and gf xd. also to my taste - the points brought up by others - cringe sister story - lol, like u expect us to care off the bat? is that a sister con lure~ plot~?.. but as I'm reading this I hope it's good parts if existant will overshadow weaknesses.
Also boring standard game system especially considering it's created by God lol...
also alot of nonsense irl
Also op talent but doesn't seem to focus too much on leveling it - focus attack speed and that's it? I guess has plans to kite for long range etc but if he just does normally it's prolly faster to level then do that low level when high lvl~ etc
messy and unclear confusing writing be it in world, power system/s, cheat/GF, action. also this is like significantly a fanfic mix of wow power system and dnd like setting but unclear and isn't stated - u just barely understand it thru the poor writing after a long while~... but it's like it's one pro wow player transmigrated telling us what happens and if we're also wow veterans
this is unfortunate cuz the setting situations is kinda nice/has potential and the cheat/opness idea is cool, potentially, if somewhat overturned in the execution and to be clear - confusing/unclear...
first story in a while that I read continously without some bits here and there that make me feel aversion (significantly) and wanting me to stop reading or such where the story falls off~.
overall there're occasional like writing quality issues I'd say where the author just skims over some topics or writing is abit worse - but even with those for a webnovel if rate it 4 stars for an objective rating (5 stars is my personal taste).
a couple of slightly annoying issues for me personally is in the beginning me is weak and somewhat opressed by his dragon mother and sister but he overcomes his sister and, well, as for the mother - atleast, like, she doesn't hurt him and could be said to be bearly ok as a mother - for an chaotic evil chromatic red dragon...
the story focuses on adventure and relationships - there're a few women - coincidently dragons heh.. - but while it's harem it's not too heavy and well enough crafted I guess/I'd say. author doesn't rush it and develops relations and character~ before any action comes around... Mc also has male friends/ aquinteces/ [named/recognized individuals] subordinates/ trading partners~ etc... so it's not like surround urself with sexy female chars... tho towards the later parts he also has his mom and sister working for him - no romance/incest bs tho for dragons there's no genetic decreases or cultural limits~ but from human influence he doesn't wanna -
-
to which comes aspect of internal conflicts of Mc - human VS dragon - some depth - nice/ok ('ok' - if u don't really like it, I guess - like, it's not too heavy/main a topic~... balanced...)
There's also force building and later even outright kingdom founding~.
Mc is basically immortal and can grow slowly without risking it atleast after certain points yet often like goes out of his way to risk it, especially after joining sect. like cmon u could've joined one, stayed there for a long while and went to another if afraid of ur age being figured out. also constantly encountering trouble at the graveyard and has to play the hero/do alot of action (combat~)... also comedy my ass. plenty of drama/tragedy~ sorta, too. also military? nah lol..
short, it seems, but fast paced?
If u like slow growth, gradual, cautious Mc - this is the opposite of that, I guess...
I'd say that for a webnovel - the quality is so so - yet at the same time - to my taste - there aren't really like massive off putting points that'd I was disgusted by (so far...) (and with how rough/light~/shallow(?) the plot is, I don't really expect there to be much space for such... xd...)
ok like brain rot to let time pass while listening to it (tts) kinda thing I'd say as a sum up~...
translation overlapped/messy - but I don't deduct points for that.
start seemingly interesting - to my liking - ancient chain like feudal~ setting~, Mc starts in small org - ok, some internal intrigue - ok... Mc has interesting cheat - ok, nice, cool - seemingly so far! (for the cheat) but later it's shown cheat only basically let's u learn techniques quickly and nothing else - not even practice them quickly - u have to do that manually... that could've been interesting if like maybe for example techniques had pitfall and system helps resolve them or something but no... also later it's introduced that system can help Mc increase spiritual power - which is something crucial for everything and especially using cheat for higher lvl techniques etc~... but then it's shown to be kinda buggy and ultimately at the same time in the plot Mc finds the super rare and valuable technique which is the foundation for the major power to exist - that allows for increase of spiritual power...
with that said, additionally the power system is so so at best? not much depth - to my taste - like details of meridians or whatever...
Also Mc personality - kinda un-cn xianxia Mc-like - kind, repays debts etc, but imho it's a Lil bit wussy... crying at death of crush - who's crippled~ (epileptic) whom he met like twice?.. also another person died later and he also felt emotional for him - ehm, don't u wanna kill off chars near Mc just to trigger emotionality? also Mc trembles for a while after starting killing people for the first few times... that's kinda ok/cool by me - reasonable, natural... but doesn't really benifit plot? nor grow much further.
other than that the writing - prose - is kinda good? better than avarage cn.
btw it's wuxia start, slow growth, and hints of xianxia level powers - yuan Ying - aka nascent soul...
plot wise there's alot of 'plots' in that escorts beuro he starts in... kinda meh, idk. once twice ok, too much focus/slow setting change~
