Hmm, the novel isn't bad, exactly. It just feels like the author didn't really know which perspective to write from. I read the first 10 chapters and at least four of them were dedicated to one person's POV (point of view), even though that person wasn't the MC. Another thing is that the author makes the MC extremely unrealistic. Lots of MCs are unrealistically powerful, but I think most of them went through a grueling process before getting so OP; like in "Genius Doctor Black Belly Miss," the FL went through a lot before she could get her title as a genius doctor. The MC here just reads a couple of old books and is suddenly able to concoct amazing potions. It isn't a terrible idea, but it definitely isn't great, either, and it certainly doesn't make the novel more interesting. It would have been more interesting if the novel started with the process or something.
