very interesting premise, nice execution. what else can I say, it's good.___________________________________________________________________
Attention !!! I will give you 3? Unsatisfactory, Every chapter the stats names change, the numbers change without any reason. Not only that, but he act like some degenerate version of others MC of the genre. This also resembles MLT more than regular translation.
Pretty decent actually
While there are plenty of great novels out there, and quite a few on this site alone, I would call this one special. I don't know if the current quality will continue but I'm looking forward to finding out. Here's what's so attractive about Commanding Wind and Cloud:1. Characters. Despite having some generic tropes, the quality of the characters is a step above similar novels. It's not because they don't fit the usual archetypes (archetypes are used for a reason, they work), but there is more to them than the defining personality trait. Simply put, there's depth. Without spoiling anything with specifics, the characters evoke emotion, intrigue, and find a place in a novel that could ignore them for the sake of letting the protagonist power up and move on to brighter horizons.2. The main character grows powerful at a rapid pace, but as I said above it doesn't rush the story. In fact, it gives him the appropriate weight one should have when you've grown quickly, and helps push him towards his goal, driving the story as opposed to muddling it.3. Story driven. As I mentioned above the novel is very story driven. The main character has a method that helps him grow quickly (minor spoiler or absolute genre certainty?), but it doesn't become so central to the story that it becomes the story. In fact, it's done tastefully, giving its own flavor without ruining the world building and character development needed in this type of novel.I could continue to talk, mention good points (and bad, let's face it every novel has some negative attributes) but it's not necessary. I'll simply say this is a novel with balance, and if you like the genre you will appreciate the elements you've come to love and appreciate the focus that went in to keeping everything on track and presenting this story well. At least as of now, though hopefully, it thrives throughout.
I've read up to chapter 100 in this story before dropping it. The pacing of the story is slower than a slug. By chapter 100, only about 48 hrs. have transpired within the timeline of the story. This is because the author rambles, a lot, when he is explaining things, and he also goes into long winded inner monologues of the MC, that repeats a lot of the information you've already learned earlier in the story, and he does this frequently. This made the story very boring, as well as annoying for me. The other thing I didn't like about this story, is how the author makes the MC out to be this godly player, when at the beginning of the story the MC is only a Tier 3 Aquamaster at level 35 (8-14 levels below the high ranked players) and equipped with below average gear, which even gets described as "absolute trash". But yet, the MC can: 1 - Cast Multiple different spells at the same time, which apparently don't have a cool down. 2 - Manipulate his spells whenever and however he wants, like splitting a spell apart and changing one half into a different spell. 3 - Has godly custom spells he created himself. While at the same time, the hundreds of thousands of so called elites and professional players are made to look like a bunch of newbs, who: 1 - Can only use one spell/skill at a time, which have cooldowns. 2 - Can't manipulate their skills. 3 - Have no, nor know how to create custom skills. To me, this is absolute BS, not to mention the author doesn't show the MC's stats until like chapter 23, doesn't show MP cost or any other relevant info about most of MC's spells, nor does he even explain how MC acquired his spells or how he made his custom ones. This lack of info becomes quite convenient for the author however, like in the mini boss fight that takes place after MC joins a party. In this fight, the MC cast dozens of spells just before unleashing is ultimate custom spell, all while never replenishing his mp. And if you do some calculation based off of what little info you've been given by this point, it's obvious that the MC wouldn't have enough mp to cast his "12 frost rampart formation" spell even if his mp was full. So, although the author tries to makes the MC look witty and strategic in this scene, he contradicts the logic of the world he's created to make the MC look OP. Because of this, the MC, at least to me, is like the protagonist of some low rate action-shooter film, were the hero's guns never runs out of bullets. Overall, I feel this story is poorly written, and I doubt that the author has ever read or played a game that would fall within the genre of an MMORPG. This story might get better after chapter 100, but I have no interest in finding out. Other might like this story, as for me, I wish I never tried it. I give the 100 chapters I've read so far a rating of 3/10.
I don't understand how this got past the voting phase, like it only has 8 votes………….........................................................
Honestly speaking, this is a good book. It touched my interest as I, personally, loved reading and watching stories about Cultivation. So believe me when I say give this a shot! If you don't like the story then you can just grill the Author. Don't worry I'll join you :D
curious about the continuation of this novel? You can read the MTL version first on : novelraw.blogspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Novel yang bagus dan menarik!!! tolong lebih sering update, karna aku disini mendukungmu Hohohoho~~~Siap? tangkap~~ saya lempar batu hahaha ~Dan apabila nanti akan ada character wanita, jangan sampai ada Harem.Karna itu akan seperti menaburkan sampah!
Not that good. the mc looks like a naive brat. .........................................................................................................
Such a shame, the book started out as having great potential and the world building and character development was good, everything was great apart from the cardboard cutout stereotypes that were the characters and the fact that the MC never really fought until it got really annoying for the readers, and then the author just stopped updating. I looked at his profile and I think the last time he was on the website was like a month ago or something? What a waste of potential and such a big cliffhanger.
Read to ch 19. So far the world is explained pretty well. It merely states the location not any description tho. Story arc rn seems to be school. There has already been some action. The best part of the novel so far is the characters they seem realistic and have life to them. (At least the ml and his buddy’s, side do have some to a lesser extent) And last but not less the ml seems to be smart. Don’t think ml will be a evil one base on what I know. This appears to be one of the better ones out of this batch. If Any1 know mtl or raw of this piz reply in the comments :)
