The main character has interesting abilities and the plot is intriguing. I'd also say that it's well written/translated. I can understand how so people wouldn't like it though especially people who aren't familiar with the genres. Personally though, I really enjoy not having my time wasted being spoon-fed information I already understand perfectly. I also agree with the people who said it's better after the MC leaves Earth. There were definitely a few of events that made me grit my teeth a bit. I honestly don't care for his father... more>> at all. I was a little disappointed to not get more information about the MC's brother and the "Human Hunter" but I imagine the MC will eventually return to Earth. <<less

It's not bad, and has a great idea, but the problem lays in the execution :

  • way too many concepts added in the story
  • characters and their behavior could have been made more complex
  • felt more like a manga than a novel

Tried to like this but it's truly a sh*t show, I can't say it's bad but I can definitely say it's all over the place.

The plot simply doesn't has a sense of continuity, just like a kid who can't decide which food they want to eat and in the end the kid bite all but finish none of them.

One of my eyebrow was lifted the whole time I read this. I.e saying he has good poker face and calm attitude when faced with absurdity but when he was kidnapped he... more>> didn't tried to read other's info when he talk to them? Pardon?

Spoiler

And does his mother has virg*n Mary complex or something????? Want to bear the child of higher being but still wants to marry other man after that??? So that man can take care of your child from other man? Huh???Is he Jesus?

Two stars because of the premise of the story. That is all. This web novel doesn't have any direction it wants to go. Interesting characters are introduced or rather half introduced (leave things out to retain a mystery about the character) and that is all, you will never hear anything about them not even the mystery part. Just gone and a new character gets a half introduction. Repeats the same.

There are 3 chapters about main character playing a game, all to say that he is an avid gamer.

Maybe it gets... more>> better after a lot of chapters but right now it doesn't amount to anything. Nothing comical or fantasy-like or great plot about it. <<less

I really don't know what went through my mind while finishing this novel. That too, while it was still ongoing. It's the literal definition of a dumpster fire. It's so unbelievably bad that even the author probably doesn't know what they were trying to do.

If the story was trying to set a carefree tone, I'd understand. If it were the emotional route, I'd understand. If it were something else, I'd still understand. But this is just an amalgamation of anything and everything. 😐😑 Again, I do not understand why I read... more>> this a few years ago. 😐 <<less

I... uhh... got bored at vol 2. I'm sorry. But when the story changed to RPG mainstream leveling up, it really bummed me out.

But let me tell you this. This story, is not confusing at all. I don't get why people thought this story is a mess. Sure, you need to know around the genres. You need to know sci fi, folklore, mecha, chinese power system (such as cultivation and transendence) and now RPG leveling up system. But aside from that, this novel has been very easy to understand. It's... more>> like Zankyo no Terror anime. You just need to concentrate to know whether this POV is from the current time or a POV from a flashback.

This novel is full of info dump tho. And I got super annoyed at how the author cannot stop singing praises toward Celestia. Like, I get it dude. She's pretty, beautiful, and gorgeous. Can we move on now??? :/

Also, warning. In chapter 65, Celestia almost got raep. If that's triggering to you, please skip to the last two paragraphs.

This is a story about a normal boy with a not so normal ability. He could see words on other people's head; that included name, title, and their feeling at that time. When he was a child, he got a recurring nightmare.

That nightmare mold him into a person that he is today. Calm, not easy to anger, and wishing for a normal life. Unfortunately, that did not happen

Spoiler

Because his mother was a famous witch with a lot of enemies and his real father was a God that rule over a world. Later, it'll also be known that that nightmare is in fact was his father's memories. It got transferred to him after the guy's death. Why, idk. I didn't read vol 2 :'D

[collapse]

MC's life is in danger now. So, his father send him to space. Where he learned a fact that there are multiple Earths out there. Alternate Universe and Alien exists here.

The story sounds stagnant most of the time, even with all the culmination of genres, because, hm, how to say this? Cutscenes came to MC, and not the other way around; MC is not the one trigerring the Cutscene (do you get what I'm saying?). But this can be easily explain as well.

Spoiler

His mother was a clairvoyance. She knew that MC is going to be killed if he stays in earth. She also knew that if MC stay in THIS airship, enemies will come to attack. It'll be dangerous, but it'll also be an opportunity for MC to awaken his hidden power. That's why MC didn't have to do anything else because the problem will come to him anyway

[collapse]

Weak to Strong troupe, and fortunately very consistent so far. No powered up bullshit, or last minute energy charge or smth

Spoiler

MC got a skill of Random Buff whenever he pilot a mecha. That sounds like a plot armor, but it doesn't, really. If he's super unlucky, that buff will be nothing but a glorified title, after all lol

[collapse]

Still, I didn't get to read till the end of vol2 because of its sudden change of genre. I don't mind RPG leveling up, because most of the manga/manhwa that I've read are like that, but what kinda ticked me off is because of the Status Window. MC's skill is looking at other people's name and title (and also level, in vol 2). But with a Status Window like that, bestowed upon selected individuals and all, MC's skill is not a unique thing anymore because, well. They have Status Window now. They can see other people's name and title too. It kinda ruin MC's uniquness, imo

Maybe I'm wrong tho'. Maybe no one can really see other people status window and I'm just being too hasty :'D

And I don't like it how MC regressed. At the end of season 1, he can control his enormous power just fine, but at the start of season 2, he's back to being a beginner? Like, why???? Author tried to justify themselves so they can create a new training arc for MC, all while being bullied by the people who were supposed to be 'stronger' than him. I don't like it. It's literally Phoenix Wright Justice for All. A.k.a game want to do a tutorial so they gave Phoenix Wright an amnesia. That's so dumb

Anyway, Vol 1 is a good read despite all the info dump and I suggest you check this out if you wanna spend your free time. Maybe I'll come back to this novel too someday '3' <<less

Decision making. Many creators, even when by mistake still go on for it and try their best to create. Creators.

But then we have a very simple *this all sh*t and this all advantages to the MC*, so very-very simple. Yet can be ruined just as well. To ruin something so simple and easy to follow just for the sake of putting on a lot of info on any-- ANY chapter written to appear more consistent and solid (how unusual, barely a few hundred chapters and lot of spaces between text,... more>> first time seeing this in korean novels fahshur) ; yet the presentation is but a 'potential story got shounen'd' and then I'm just gonna plot twist in a worst way that a very renown shounen, guilty crown. Like- how bad does it have to be to just by reading it, making me feel worst than Guilty Crown's ending.

Also,
Spoiler

in a universe where the whole galaxy has earth's duplicate from original earth (100 to be exact), but every single person (and rare entity) only speaks korean. There is a mention of a global translation for everyone on the ship, that doesn't mean they actually call someone CAPTAIN-NIM, GREAT SAGE-NIM, SQUADRON LEADER-NIM. Jesus f*ck this is so korean, at least japanese honorifics are only when names are mentioned and only when they are more or less of close relationship or status. F*ck. That's just the beginning.

Oh and author decided to tarkov it all away, yes it did a whole wipe on MC everything for s1 ending, have fun you crazy maso f*cks.

[collapse]

It's not about incoherence, that's a way to write something, is just not telling that you need to constantly move your jaw and tongue to eat properly, so b*tching about that is really pathetically childish.

Just not gonna recommend this clown-show. <<less

Its like an orchestra...

So many good instruments. But they play it out of the place, not caring the timing or the tempo.

A grand stage. But all the player seated randomly.

So, from the beginning I read this novel, what I feel is like listening the sound from that kind of orchestra. A very irritating kind of sound. I only last for 100chapter, and quit before damaging my mental health more severe.

Go ahead try it if u want, your choice mate x_x

Ok, I read the reviews and I read the first 20 chapters.

The best way to put it, it's like reading a novel about Gintama. In Gintama, you get Samurai, cowboy, alien, robot, etc... All mixed together. It's kind of the same thing. Except there wasn't d*ck jokes yet.

It's all over the place, but it's not bad by any way. I'm really enjoying it. Don't know how it would go from there, but I can't wait to see it. (read it)

Go in expecting a suprising weird setting and it's should... more>> be bereable. And sorry for my bad english, I'm doing the best I can!! <<less

It's like what could have been good was ruined by incoherence. There are some solid foundational plot ideas here. The MC has an interesting power, interesting family relationships, and there is an interesting world setting.

The problem is that things jump around too much. Part of it is the perspective, but it's not just that. The author just doesn't seem to complete a plot point or encounter before moving to the next one. Every time I think there is something interesting happening, there is some kind of scene skip and it... more>> just gets dropped. Slow the f*ck down! Let me finish reading! Don't be in such a damn hurry to reveal everything.

It really, really disappointed me to have such potential wasted without properly exploring it. <<less

So I tried to make it past the first 20 and get to 30.

But I really couldn't force myself anymore, there was too much information being thrown out there and too many identities being slapped onto the characters that made it all seem messy.

I'm not saying that you wouldn't like it, but only people who are really bored or are looking for something that just throws out 'new' things constantly are going to like this.

weird and kinda quirky? I rather like it.

the characters are actually fairly well written, there is individual plots for most people and they have at least cosmetically different sounding styles of talking

this statement above SHOULDNT be a high praise, but it is. author is trying and it seems like the translator is doin a good job too.

the actual plot is kinda op MC gag style fantasy mech sci fi insanity... but it meshes pretty well. the father and insane spirit goddess thing on Earth might be minor characters but they... more>> set the stage for a limitless wacky story... cause even the side characters are op in their own way. aka the main character isnt the only super duper special one. <<less

I read the first season and I quite enjoyed it and I thought that the novel will end after this season but 1 or 2 chapters before the end the author decided to make a Plot Twist and makes the MC lost all his powers so all the Thing and the experiences he gained disappears and the story simpley countiued in a second season which absolutely ruind everything so I just couldn't continue reading anymore and just dropped it. I think the story it would be much better if the... more>> author just stopped after the firts season and filld the holes of the story with extras. <<less

It makes no sense.

... more>>
Spoiler

Basically, in the beginning, the MC is trying to live a normal life and out of nowhere a magic girl and alien appear, along with a mu*derer. There was really no point in introducing the mu*derer because she had no effect on the plot, it left me disappointed.

[collapse]

The plot has so much potential but the author rushed it leaving many plot holes and a sense of dissatisfaction.

Spoiler

After just a few days of school, the MC gets kidnapped by aliens, well technically his "dad" sent him off. And why did the magic girl tag along?

[collapse]

Whatever, it just got really messy and chaotic that I had to convince myself multiple times to give it another chance. I really liked his abilities though. It did make me a bit mad when he revealed them after trying so hard to keep it a secret.

I just didn't like it. There's so much more I didn't like but the content is so ridiculous it's hard to describe.

Spoiler

For example, an old man wants two people of superior bloodlines to make a baby so he can possess that baby and be a super baby? What's even dumber is that those two people AGREED. Like what? One is an imperial prince and the other is a literal angel and yall are fine with an old man killing your child's soul and possessing their body?

[collapse]

I just wish it made more sense. The story is also extremely word-packed, so if you don't read well enough you're going to find yourself going back to see what or why something happened. <<less

I usually like to read pretty far before rating, but...

It seemed to start nicely at first, with a bit of slow pace that was somewhat understandable. Though as it progressed it got out of hand, especially after 20 chapters.

The reader is thrown all over the place with too much going on to take in. You got all sorts of people being mentioned and with so many names and descriptions it starts to bleed together and look like you are reading some type of gibberish. Like the author lost all sense... more>> of pacing and just threw out whatever works to readers, without properly informing the reader of anything in regards to that.

I am sure some will say this just gives it a bit of a 'complex' flavor; but there is a fine borderline between something being complex and something being very hard to comprehend. As for AYH, it crosses the borderline and goes beyond with things being hard to follow/comprehend.

I did like the concept, but it is poorly executed. If it indulge a bit more slow pacing or took time to give readers info in bits and pieces than trying to shove everything down one's throat at once in the first few chapters (I consider anything under 50 first few) then it might be more of an approachable and enjoyable read. As for now, I dropping this to avoid personal headaches in trying to make sense of things. <<less
