Very interesting, most especially the fight scenes. The mental picture created when reading is what makes it very interesting. Keep it up and I'm hoping to read more chapters in the subsequent months to come.
trigger warnings: sexual assault, sexism, cringe, and run on sentences.
First, this novel doesn't deserve the high score it has. After reading Doomsday Pillars ( same author of Earth's Greatest Magus) I like kingdom building apocalypse novels. While I can forgive a few mistakes in writing here and there, the constant run on sentences make it difficult to read. Add spelling and grammar going out the window, and you've got a novel that feels like it wasn't even put through a basic word processor.
Next, characters. MC is a typical OP dude, which I'm not against. And from what is being built in the narrative, a potential harem. Also not an automatic bad thing. But if your romance interests are literal prizes for quests who accept being kissed by a stranger they met not even a few minutes ago, I'm gonna have to call sexual assault. And no, having them resist at first then melt into the kiss doesn't count. That doesn't happen in the real world.
The MC is cringe and bland. Even jokes about him being cringe fall flat. Let's not leave out the fact that he separated the men and women of the families he rescued to see if any of the men were "dead weight" by tossing them into the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Sure, he gave them sniper cover, but it really gave off a vibe of just letting them die till he remembered his new girlfriend might get upset at him if that happened. Even the men comment on this thinking it's fine that their lives are hanging by some random dudes want for his write in girlfriend. Did I forget that he literally wrote in some spam-esque survey for the situation of the novel and the love interests were just some celebrities he wanted to bang? Just "Who do you wanna be your girlfriend? Oh, XXXX celebrity cuz they are hot. Great! Here you go!"
World-building is terrible. First, it was three months till the apocalypse. Then, it was 3 days. Then it was three hours. In total I think a little over two days went by till the apocalypse started. I say I think because it's hard to keep track with the terrible writing taking up brain space to decide what's going on. What could have been a great opportunity for setting up a novel where the MC has to be clever in gathering supplies, people, and other stuff to set up a good base is wasted. It feels like the author had an idea but didn't want to bother writing it. So we just get some random off screen reasons on why the timer goes down instead.
TL;DR skip this novel. I've read better trash than this and still dropped those novels.
Its good and I like it personally.
Sentencing and paragraphing could be better but this is still better than mtl.
I read something like this some months ago, but didn't get picked cuz of webnovely reasons, so I hope this one get picked.
Okay, it’s not like I’m being ruthless, it’s just... a mess. I’m usually very accepting of novel ideas, but this is just a terrible assortment.
Can’t make any sense of it, at first you can still enjoy it but it just keeps getting more and more out of hand.
It’s the first time I felt that the author had absolutely no plan for the novel and just kept throwing in ideas as they came and hope that they fit together. Well, they don’t.
I’m really disappointed because this actually had potential. The characters at least are reasonable. Oh well, some people have said that this is a good novel to pass the time while you wait for updates on your favourite novel, but for me it’s just a waste of time, you’ll end up feeling disappointed and frustrated when you drop it.
Enough said, it’s just my opinion. Hope some people can still enjoy it.
This Sovereign is in a good mood so i gave thee fivestars, Be grateful mongrel
This novel has no ending, don't read if you don't want to be disappointed.
Deathblade translations are no joke. You can always expect a quality translation from his hand. I love this series since the MC is hilarious. I mean VERY hilarious
Have been following from the first book, definitely beautifully written without a doubt, the author put a lot of thought and effort into the novel. can't wait to see his sister
The story was developing in a good manner but nowadays due to bad update schedule the fun seems to be gone. please make the update schedule regular. been waiting for the chapters for a while
Cliche overpowered MC. Cliche plot buildup. Not interesting enough. Writing feels contrived. Romance falls flat. Sigh. Got through the first fifty chapters give or take and didn't really feel anything at all other than disappointment.
if someone told me this was a spinoff of legendary mechanic I would've believed it. But at the end of the day it doesn't matter as long as it's good so give it a read and if you guys want more of this type of novel just read legendary mechanic.
