intresting novel
Arifureta holds the dubious distinction of being the first novel that comes to mind when discussing the worst on the platform. It's not just poor; it's shockingly terrible. Calling it trash would almost be a compliment, considering trash can still serve a purpose, but this... "work" offers none. The only reason it received a single star is because it's the lowest rating possible.
Let's briefly acknowledge the few redeeming qualities, if we can call them that:
- The initial arc was tolerable. While I'm not a fan of betrayal and revenge narratives, I can appreciate how it might have had potential if executed well.
- Technically speaking, it's a novel.
But beyond that, the negatives far outweigh the positives. Here are some examples:
- Terrible plot development: The protagonist, after losing an arm and being surrounded by monsters, uses magic to create a railgun from available materials – rocks and water. This stretch of logic becomes absurd when he later pulls out a waterproof submarine from thin air, seemingly without any relevant background in navigation or shipbuilding. It's a deus ex machina moment.
- Awful character writing: Halfway through the main storyline, I couldn't connect with any of the characters. The protagonist vacillates between antihero and hero, coming across as a moody teenager who alternately saves lives and spouts offlines. His harem is equally unconvincing, with some members following him simply because he demands it.
- Lack of depth: Characters exist solely to support the主角, with no genuine growth or development. The villainous plots feel contrived, and the world is a clichéd dungeon-and-skills setting, with the characters' incompetence serving to highlight the protagonist's supposed superiority.
- Predictable action scenes: The battles involve unrealistic stunts, like the MC riding a magic motorcycle with railguns, effortlessly defeating monsters while his harem cheers him on. It's all too fantastical and lacks any sense of tension.
In conclusion, the author appears to have vented their frustrations into the story, which ultimately feels disrespectful to readers. While there may be a post-story segment that offers a glimpse of a different side, it's questionable whether it's worth investing 179 chapters into mediocrity to find it. If you enjoy extreme examples or need reassurance that your own work isn't as bad as this, then perhaps give it a try. Otherwise, it's best to avoid this literary dumpster fire.
Good novel and well written story
I have no words to say ..the MC is a loser...
Cant do a single thing right...
He belives everyone ...even after being betrayed
Multiple times... and gets f... d...
... you are a brother from a another mother dragussy
An Orthodox cultivation novel, a nice read as a break away from the more unique ones.
Reading this im reminded somewhat of desolate era and ATG.
The mc's cultivation speed can be considered average when compared to other series but of course his protag priveledge manifests as immense combat prowess.
Nothing super out of the world in this novel that would surprise anyone.
