The Herb King - Reviews

absolutely stunning work, although it's wild to me that he was already basically a god at 3yo lol

read 41 chapters at a time (the chapters are not large) interesting, even though the hero is dumb for his age............................................

English is not my mother languaje but here we go, i hope its readable.

This is a novel that could have gone big, but became bad.

The world in itself seems interesting but...

I can understand that you want to make an OP mc. Okey good, but if you do it, do it with logic.

Make a progression so the readers can enjoy how he gets OP. The way is done here is too fast, no development at old. Feels rushed.

Many cliches used in a bad way, it feels forced and boring.

The mc is supposed to be reincarnated from an old man, i cant feel any maturity in his way of thinking.

Even with all this issues i congratulate the author for keep going with the novel.

Its not my cup but if you enjoy it keep going.

the writing quality and story line development made the novel more interesting

I really love the concept Herb King and the focus on that instead of sword fighting, face slapping and killing.
The introduction is also really good and makes you want to read the novel.

What killed the novel less than 15 chapters in is how the main character is written and his interactions with other people.
The MC is not written consistently:
take for example the intro: the impression of the MC is that herbs and being a doctor is his passion and he actively seeks rebirth due to his regrets in life.
Read the first chapter: the impression of the MC is that he reaches the rebirth tree due to plotarmor(i kid you not: it was mentioned multiple times that he managed to reach the tree with the help of some "mysterious strength". The mysterious strength could have easily been replaced by passion, curiosity, willpower, etc and it would have given a better impression of the MC as that strengthens the intro about him). The MC ate the rebirth fruit without further thought and reason aside from that he saw it and felt a bit hungry. The following chapters are also showing the MC in quite bad or unimpressive light.
Another issue is the MC's mental age: Either the MC is an old man or a 3 year old ignorant dumb kid. He can't be either. No real human is both and in the novel the MC constantly switches between these depending on what the plot currently needs.
Another thing is the character interactions: The interactions between the MC and parents(dialogue, actions) is too short. It's like the reader is getting a glimpse and then the novel moves on. This glimpse is too short to give the reader a real lasting impression about the MC and his parents.

Cons: Story Development has huge holes which can't be explained by plot armor. To give examples: MC is able to level super fast and has infinit resources but stops leveling without any reason - could be killed any time by some of the hidden forces. MC creates a clone and does not use it.
uploads are only one chapter at a time... we have seen better. World background is shallow but Overall setting is good.

pros: Charakter Design of the Heros and sidekicks are great. Currently the bad guys are not deeply developed. The just pop up with standard bad guy behaviour.
writing quality is good without any fancy wording. Easy to digest for non native speakers.

Easy-going MC, OP, non-thrilling story development, non-sensical storywriting at times.
It's not a bad book, it has good grammar, but overall, it's not really that special, it's just not bad.
