the book was interesting and different from the start, there was so much potential and then the last chapter is just... the end, was disappointed
Keep updating.
Yeah I'm liking the book so far, it is a little confusing though as it jumps from one person's perspective to another without warning or comment, so you end up having to figure out who's talking or thinking And then re reading. But still I think this has a lot of potential to be a really good read.
A very nice simple story.
Good novel
.Its seems very interesting.
Do you struggle with the "mild desire for trashy system web novels" syndrome? Perhaps you were diagnosed with an unusual variant where you get frustrated when the system is overly powerful? If so, this book might pique your interest. The system in this novel ranks among the least OP, so just let your mind go on autopilot and avoid analyzing plot development or the main character's cognitive prowess.
Alternatively, you might find the experience more enjoyable after a hefty dose of alcohol beforehand. The first 20 chapters are a gradual buildup, although they're short and engaging enough to keep you hooked. The subsequent 60 chapters are a blend of kingdom-building and tournament arcs, with minimal complaints despite their average execution. The events themselves provide a refreshing change.
However, the story takes a nosedive after the tournament arc, entering a messy and uninteresting "Three Kingdoms" section. Chapters are filled with numerous unappealing characters and aimless plotlines without substance. I wouldn't recommend this to most readers; it might be suitable for a 12-year-old seeking a casual kingdom-building read.
In summary, the first 80 chapters are decent, earning around a 3.5-star rating. After that point, it becomes a painful ordeal, barely deserving of anything above 2 stars.
No a little below
Tf wrong with you?
Is the mc a merchant or mercantilism play a big role ? I am looking for a kingdom building/ mercantile story
why it's repeat two times every chapters
The book is an enjoyable, low-thought-read, offering a tranquil portrayal of everyday life with an overpowered protagonist. The only downside is the extensive cast and subplots, which could be overwhelming. However, I actually see this as an advantage since it allows for multiple revisits to fully appreciate the characters and their stories.
I believe I should address a few points that seem to be frequently overlooked in the low-star reviews:
1. The setting has a high mortality rate, upwards of 70%, for those who are not wealthy, skilled as an exorcist, or reside in the capital. This harsh reality affects the protagonist.
2. Our main character (MC) experiences frustration and anger, but he restrains himself due to understanding the characters' nature. His passivity stems from acceptance of their ways.
3. The MC is quite vulnerable, easily at risk of harm when displaying negative emotions towards the Family. His lack of strength or training prevents him from improving, as evidenced by his underprivileged background.
4. As a servant, he has undergone brainwashing to suppress any rebellious thoughts towards the Family; however, it appears to have little effect on him.
5. Many reviewers criticize the MC as a bland, predictable character, but they seem to misunderstand his motivations. He acts solely for self-preservation, feeling guilty for manipulating others like Shiro and having mostly sympathetic feelings for the heroine, driven by a desire to prevent their tragic outcomes. It's akin to finding oneself in a bleak story and wanting to improve it.
In conclusion, while the story may not be exceptional, it's not entirely bad either. It suffers from excessive information dumping and missed emotional moments. Objectively, it deserves three stars, but personally, I'd give it four, considering I've encountered much worse.
