Don't be fooled by the summary, our MC is a hard working black Smith. It is well paced, a bit slow when in comparison to this style, but unlike those, the plot is not based on stereotypes. The characters are well developed, a worthy read.
If you ignore the obvious logical fallacies every few chapters because the book wasn't preplanned in the slightest (for example: it took like 15 chapters after breakthrough to reveal what True Element mc cultivated. Until then it was just described as True Element) Then it is a good read when you want to turn your brain off and read how a guy pubstomps noobs then this is for you. Idea 8/10, execution 4/10.
I’ve read until about chapter 30. So not especially far. As the author warned, if you can’t handle LGBT, you won’t want to stick around. 30 is a point in the story where the focus seems to be more on LGBT issues than the story. I can handle, and even like stories with Yuri. Yaoi is out of my comfort zone, and that’s where I have to draw the line. The writing (w/o the LGBT agenda) is top quality, and if you can push past that, it is a great book. Sad to say that I won’t be continuing though.
The story inspired me to unravel twisted knots in my life and find my own true purpose on why am I here on earth, what I am here for, and for whom I am here for.
