The Chronicles of Blood and Bone

I am writing this so I can get SS nothing more. I have been reduced to a sad excuse for a human being. But it needs to be more than 140 characters so I guess I have to keep going. How are you today? How are you doing? Me, well I’m doing well. I actually like this story. It is fairly decent.

Right. This story is amazing from chapters 0 to 50. If you like funny comedic stories with a good plot this is worth a read. Now let's talk about the bad news.After chapter 50 the MC leaves his village behind to take some exams. At this point in the story, all the people in the story excluding the villagers, a couple girls, and some examiners are cookie cutter personalities. For some bizarre reason, the main character is villainized by every scholar in the two cities we visit for exams. What's even stranger, is that everyone regardless of background does this. On top of this, almost all these "Scholars" start behaving like muscle brained men. There's a really bizarre contrast to this story. When the MC walks into a room everyone is speaking poetry and elegance. Then they notice the MC and suddenly it's bravado and taunts... There's no poetic taunt, or historical story to outwit the opponent it's pure I'm better than you smack talk. Naturally, this means the MC is the only one quoting poetry and making metaphors in the face-smacking competitions. But it's bizarre because these people are all scholars. They memorize this stuff for power! I know for a fact if you read enough wuxia you start getting an urge to use these foreign sayings in society. But yet these "scholars" do not behave this way in the story and instead only mock and laugh at the MC. Finally, I am pretty frustrated because I do not understand the MC's goal. He wants to take the imperial examination but for some reason can't signup for that exam. He has to take several easier exams first and these exams don't test your knowledge they also test combat capability... Against groups of your peers. Meaning ten guys could team up to knock you out of the competition if they so chose to... So here are my stars:Translation: 1 Star. (it's fine like 95% of the time and then there's a word that's a completely wrong word and changed the entire meaning of the sentence. that makes it REALLY hard to follow the story sometimes.Updates: N/AStory Development: 3 starsCharacter Design: 3 Stars (Decent MC, Father, Mother, and some villagers. Everyone else is crud (barely tolerable female lead)World Background: 2 stars (There hasn't been an explanation of the world yet. But from what I can see its a terrible world. In a world where literacy grants power there are actually illiterate people. Also for some bizarre reason, there are two villages like 45 minutes away from each other by a fast walk being forced to share a food supply by hunting and they don't plant crops. Also, there are demons... Yeah. Dunno crud about them just that the MC randomly punched one unconscious no explanation. Also, there are vicious beasts that somehow have DAO powers without reading. Oh, and demons don't have to read either! They gain DAO powers from eyeballs in their forehead... Wait so this is a world where reading is power for everyone BUT animals, non-humans, and other species? How on earth did humans survive?! Reading is NOT an easy skill in the beginning! Also where did those books come from!?

Pretty standard IET novel, atleast so far, it's a lot like desolate era was in the beginning so if you like that, give this a try.CKtalon is the sole translator now and the terms used aren't frustrating like some of us worried about when we saw GGP as a translator.

Dang. This novel seems pretty interesting so far. And honestly, it's really tough for me to actually get into a novel unless the plot, characters and pace of the story is good so I it's awesome in that aspect.The translating and editing of the story was good too so it really helpes immerse myself into the story. All in all, would recommend this story to anyone looking for an interesting read :D

AuajajjajajajhahajahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahauahahahahahahhahahhahahahahhahahuauauuauauauauauauuauauauauuauauauauauauuauwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuuwusuYou know, vamp system is trash, but still people like it (at least it is well written… “sort of”)This book is bad tbh and this star rating is objective but if you like bad things you can still read it, you wont die, you ll get a stroke at most.
