Love this story!The MC is such a sweet guy and love the fact that he isn't handsome that was new for me and such a fun surprise! He is still hardworking reading medical books and he doesn't get mean or despite full cause he's average looking! Easygoing and fun really love it!*.*
This is one of many Pokemon-esque series where an MC randomly transmigrates to a parallel world and has OP pet-identifying abilities for no reason other than the author said so.The MC is an adult who transmigrated into a teenager's body in a world similar to his, but they have magical pets and monsters. The transmigration adds nothing to the story, and the MC fits in as easily as if he spent his whole life there. He doesn't have any incongruencies to struggle through, so the transmigration is a pointless feature that could have been left out altogether. It doesn't contribute to the plot at all.The MC is a mature, intelligent, hard-worker. He hasn't shown any character flaws so far, and he hasn't had any character or personality development in the free chapters. It is nice that he has a family, even though no one is shown to have any depth to their character designs either. Weirdly enough, although the MC claims to have no interest in beauty, the writer undermines this by giving him a pet that will eventually evolve into one called "Limitless Beauty" and eventually "God of Beauty."The MC has an OP ability and an OP teacher and an OP resource and etc. from the very beginning. It looks like he's going to become overwhelmingly OP quickly.The pets train and evolve like pokemon as they grow stronger. Even their attacks have the same names as those used in pokemon. I love monster evolution, so it's fine with me. There are a limit to how many pets a person can have, so each one is precious.HOWEVER, these pets are referred to as "it" rather than he/she, even when the gender is known. Furthermore, the translation team eventually stops from referring to the lowest ranking pets as "servants" and calls them "slaves," which has a completely different connotation in English. There are also many other odd nuances that don't work well in English and distract readers from the narrative.The action isn't vivid and lacks details, so it doesn't give me any adrenaline rush. It's just not exciting. That said, the fast pace of the writing can keep it going for awhile. Unfortunately, the writing quality just isn't enough to stand up for it. Where's the conflict the MC is struggling with? Oh, there isn't one. How did the development and culture in this place differ from our world? What about the technology? Oh, it's all the same. Are there people capable of taking on the MC in the future? No, it doesn't look that way.This series is interesting and would have potential if it were reworked with a focus on character depth and development with world-building. At the level of the free chapters, though, I only see it as being good for a free casual read.

Well, I guess this novel is very nice. This is underrated. The story of this novel is very interesting. . ....???????????????
It's not very good. The english is broken and it's too difficult to read.The power system isn't clearly explained. I know there are numbered levels. There are knights, saints and sages. But what they can do or what's the difference between real is never explained.The world is unknown. We know some countries and cities name but we don't know where they are.The characters aren't very well constructed. What are their aspirations ? What do they like? They power up and that's it. It's just cultivating and nothing else. The MC is "smart" but he makes stupid decisions which works because the author makes him succeed. I mean, he is boastful of how quick he can make others cultivate and everything is fine because he knows others will see the benefits he brings, bla bla bla. But not everything is logical in life and you can't predict all things correctly. He shows too much while being too weak.I'm sure there are other things but I stopped after 60 chapters. I was tired to see power ups being too easy and too fast.
This novel is an absolute KINO work. I'm not fond of writing about what isn't in a work, but rather, what is in a work; however, it should first be established that LoTM is devoid of most of the commonplace tropes you find in CN novels. Of course, if you examine it closely, you'll find that it does indeed adhere to some frustrating qualities. Namely, the constant "SASUGA FOOL" and the mental gymnastics Alger especially will go through in order to achieve the requirements for a certain plot point to occur. Nevertheless, these problems are, for the most part, unrealistic at worst, but still within the scope of being believable. All of the major characters in LoTM have well-established traits and personalities, along with motivations. Derrick has his naive-and-steadfast character, focused on freeing his home-city from its foggy jail; Alger has his mature and experienced, sometimes overthinking personality; and of course, Klein with his constant lampooning. Also Klein's stepping counterclockwise four times. And also his tapping his glabella twice. An especially noticeable trait about LoTM's major characters, in comparison to most CN novels, is that they all progress. Not just in terms of their "cultivation" (named Sequences in this novel), but also their personalities. A fault I do have to give, however, is that the development is extremely slow for many of these characters. Of course, that's a given, given the length of the novel. Still, it is somewhat irksome.In regards to the story development, LoTM excels in this regard. There is never a moment where you feel that one scene or event is out-of-place, and you receive a sense of gratification when Klein, or any of the characters, really, manage to piece one event with another using in-world knowledge that was previously already provided. For the most part, the story has either action sequences, or sequences with Klein/others planning/thinking/conjecturing/lampooning about matters. When you have the odd occasion where it's a sort of "filler" chapter, you don't really feel that it's out of place for the most part, as most of the "filler" chapters are there to relieve the reader out of the constant action - and when not doing that, to develop a character some more. And I use "filler" in quotations because, later on, almost all of these chapters will 100% not be filler, as they will have some meaning later on. This is a writing technique used by the author I've never seen before in any other webnovel, in which he uses even "fluff" chapters to insert meaningful information that will tie in together. It's amazing.As for the world building, this novel has one of the best I've seen in my entire life - whether that be in regards to web novels, light novels, or even well-acclaimed stories from the West. It's hard to summarize without an entire novel to write, but in essence, LoTM's lore really does make you feel as though you're reading about the story of a person who is actually real, in a real other world. All the sects/churches/gods and their supernatural backgrounds and lore tie in very neatly, and if you check out the wiki, you'll find that there is boundless amounts of information about the world that was very obviously all planned out by the author from the start.Another incredible detail about LoTM is the amount of settings in which it contains. The story takes place in many different locations, from your "atypical" victorian-era city which is actually full of secret supernatural gangs, churches, and pirates, all the way to the City of Silver, which is separated from the rest of the world and at the technological level of a medieval age. This is in most part due to the varying amount of main cast members in the story, as well as another major point about the MC which I won't talk about because spoilers. And just in case you're worried, none of these locations are forgotten about. In LoTM, there is no "other region" full of more advanced versions of previous characters like in CN novels. Characters of all varying power levels, straight from the middling novice Sequence 9 to a Sequence 4 (already beginning to enter Godhood) can be placed in the same city. This means that the main characters in LoTM will regularly go between new places and old places in its world.Lastly, I should talk about the thematic elements in this story. That's right, thematic elements! Unlike many other online web novels (I know I've said this many times), LoTM contains actual themes and ideas around its narrative. The first volume, "Clown
I love sports! The drama, the anguish, the joy, the success, the failure, the hope, the determination, the pain of both athletes and fans. All of this was captured throughout this story. I lived it and breathed it. The attention to detail was amazing. The details of matches and fights were so intricate and descriptive. I know the world of Glory. I know the guilds, their strenghts and weaknesses as well as those of the Pro Alliance.Bravo for a truly compelling story that left me wanting more. It had humour, action, suspense, drama but for me it was all underlined by a sense of loss. We started with a protagonist who lost his place and was betrayed.Watching players sacrifice friends, their names, their pride all to win was so realistic and also really depressing, particularly for those who were running out of time.I have lived and breathed sport all my life both as a player and as a fan but nothing has made me understand (or care to understand) the players, fans, owners, press as much as this. There were no villains here, everyone had their own struggle and reasons.Ye Xui was our protagonist but there was only one time right afyer the final match where the reader was allowed into his emotions. We read his thoughts on planning, on players, on many things throughout the story but his emotions were closed off to us. He was as enigmatic to the readers as he was to the fans. We could only guess how he felt about his betrayal, his resurrection, his family, his future. I would have liked to learn more. The author did that so well with characters like Qiao Yifan and Chen Guo and even Zhang Jiale and Liu Hao but we got nothing from Steamed Bun (that would have been a riot) and barely anything from our protagonist. I would also bave loved to meet his father and see more of his family situation. Anyway, these are minor quibbles in the greater scheme of things. Regardless of any problems, this story left suvh a big mark on me that anything less than 5 stars woukd do it a diservice.
I don't really write reviews since I'm not a writer myself and can't really comment beyond basic factual information in the novel but gave five stars because I don't agree with some people just dropping one star ratings for a novel that isn't that bad. I'll agree this isn't the best novel out there but if you came here your probably just looking for a good to decent novel and that what it is, exactly what you would expect and I don't find a problem with it.
And thank you for doing Jace and Cathrine’s ! Hope Aaron’s gets audio as well. I just love listening to your books all the time !
good so far
What happen to the rest of the book
