oh my god. It was good at first, but then he started adding every female tom, dick, and harry who showed up and was decently powerful. At som epoint it went from MC genuinely loving his little harem/ Lita mainly to like just f*cking whoever wanted to f*ck him. Like come on, what's the f*cking point if you're just gonna knock up every woman you see?

OK, OK, so MC becomes god. A little bit of a stretch from being someone who wasn't noticed, and the ending was just starting to rush. Like have the sh*t that happened towards the end was like accelerating at 100mph on a 20mph school street; it just didn't feel right.

Speaking of not feeling right, MC does this one thing I honestly can't comprehend. To sum it up, he meets elves. They serve him. One dies in war, a female elf (forgot name). Not so bad, right? F*ckING WRONG. We know next to nothing about this static ass character who dies off, but MC revives her when he becomes a god. Not really a fault, but THEN HE ADDS HER TO HIS HAREM. Like, why? You bring someone back to life to f*ck them, and they never even explicitly expressed that much affection for you other than excessive loyalty/faith? The addition of this elf + the wolf girl who just wanted a strong man's seed felt so irrelevant it made it feel like everything I had read until that point was a waste.

And then, and then, HIS OWN f*ckING CHILDREN are trying to get laid with him. Some are kids, sure, but some are LITERAL adults. The ending as a whole disappointed me to no end.

This was the most frustrating one. This is a "harem" in what I think of as the Japanese sense of the term, basically every woman he comes across wants the MC and is willing to do just about anything to have him, while he is completely oblivious to their advances. One relationship (liera, first/main girl) achieves a pretty high level of intimacy (they cuddle and sleep together) early on however their relationship barely moves from there the entire novel, until she finally makes a move on him in the only saving grace for the relationships section. The other 8 women (of literally millions by the end) who are on the wiki as his spouses and most of whom have been trying to have a relationship with him for 250-300 of the 350 total chapters of the novel, go nowhere. Their relationship is not defined, they don't have romantic moments, basically nothing changes or grows throughout the entire story (there is a side story of 4 chapters which ties up these ends after the novel)

The MC is fully aware of what types of tropes and stereotypes exist in the kind of storytelling / stories that this novel is, and repeatedly 'predicts' future events by understanding the cliche story arcs that are likely involved. When people who should know far more about the subject tell me a certain event will be fine or won't happen he confidently tells them that's a flag or foreshadowing that guarantees it will happen (and it does), when he fights the leader of some dungeon or faction and finds it to be 'too easy' he stops his companions from celebrating and confidently informs them there will be a hidden boss and the event is not over. It would be cute, except it happens hundreds of times in the novel and ultimately only goes to show how stereotypical and cliche the plot actually is: Just because you are self aware or acknowledge how cliche and tired it would be to do something, deosn't mean its fine to repetitively do it.

Breathless in the sense that there is never a break, and repetitive in that even though 'different' things are happening in each arc, it's really obvious and quite tiring to repeat the same formula. From basically the moment the story starts to the end the MC will fight some enemy / save some people or whatever it is, some tense situation where lives are at stake, and then immediately afterwards he will return and start preparing for a future fight, often literally the second he returns he will turn around (use an OP time stopping item) and start crafting upgrades for himself or others with his freshly found materials. The second he's done handing them out and maybe training an ability (and when the time stop ends) he runs off to challenge some new crisis. This is partly related to my earlier point about romantic relationships never developing, there's almost no chance for them to regardless of the MC's personality. He's like a video game player who has theorycrafted and min/maxed the most optimal way to get powerful in a game in the shortest time and win. After a point in the novel the pacing is frenetic, he's never just walking around at an auction finding some rare metal or something, he's constantly on the move.

This is an issue in the early/mid point of the novel moreso, and compounded by the way the story is told. It's explained that the way a person levels up is by killing enemies who award XP (and record), but it quickly stops feeling like a korean novel and starts feeling like a korean MMO, where the MC is grinding 10s, even hundreds of thousands of monsters for a quest or to hit the next tier. At one point the MC enters an 'abandoned world' filled with dragons who are between 100 and 150 levels higher than him, and between the experience he gets and then the quest to actually unlock the next higher tier, he ends up killing almost 50, 000 of these creatures and still, even after all the experience and levelling, is over 100 levels lower than some of the mosters he killed. How anyone could level up in such a world beggers belief, considering you would need millions of similarly leveled enemies to level up (and so would they).

If instead of merging and compressing worlds into one planet, he made multiple planets in a singe or more solar systems (since there arent any aliens in that universe) it could have been more logical.

Its hard to imagine thousands upon thousands of planets merging into one. I mean where do you put all that land and sea, not to mention population. If one fused that many worlds, its impossible to compress and will result in a planet billions of times larger than a super nova. Its more logical to just destroy the dimensional barriers separating them and join in one universe butdifferent planets instead.

what was up with the obsession with pile bunkers?
