After chapter 50 the MC leaves his village behind to take some exams. At this point in the story, all the people in the story excluding the villagers, a couple girls, and some examiners are cookie cutter personalities. For some bizarre reason, the main character is villainized by every scholar in the two cities we visit for exams. What's even stranger, is that everyone regardless of background does this. On top of this, almost all these "Scholars" start behaving like muscle brained men. There's a really bizarre contrast to this story. When the MC walks into a room everyone is speaking poetry and elegance. Then they notice the MC and suddenly it's bravado and taunts... There's no poetic taunt, or historical story to outwit the opponent it's pure I'm better than you smack talk. Naturally, this means the MC is the only one quoting poetry and making metaphors in the face-smacking competitions. But it's bizarre because these people are all scholars. They memorize this stuff for power! I know for a fact if you read enough wuxia you start getting an urge to use these foreign sayings in society. But yet these "scholars" do not behave this way in the story and instead only mock and laugh at the MC. Finally, I am pretty frustrated because I do not understand the MC's goal. He wants to take the imperial examination but for some reason can't signup for that exam. He has to take several easier exams first and these exams don't test your knowledge they also test combat capability... Against groups of your peers. Meaning ten guys could team up to knock you out of the competition if they so chose to... So here are my stars:
Translation: 1 Star. (it's fine like 95% of the time and then there's a word that's a completely wrong word and changed the entire meaning of the paragraph and the two following... that makes it REALLY hard to follow the story sometimes.
Story Update Pace: N/A
Story Development: 3 stars
Character Design: 3 Stars (Decent MC, Father, Mother, and some villagers. Everyone else is crud (barely tolerable female lead)
World Background: 2 stars (There hasn't been an explanation of the world yet. But from what I can see its a terrible world. In a world where literacy grants power there are actually illiterate people. Also for some bizarre reason, there are two villages like 45 minutes away from each other by a fast walk being forced to share a food supply by hunting and they don't plant crops. Also, there are demons... Yeah. Dunno crud about them just that the MC randomly punched one unconscious no explanation. Also, there are vicious beasts that somehow have DAO powers without reading. Oh, and demons don't have to read either! They gain DAO powers from eyeballs in their forehead... Wait so this is a world where reading is power for everyone BUT animals, non-humans, and other species? How on earth did humans survive?! Reading is NOT an easy skill in the beginning! Also, where did those books that give power come from!?
Let's start with the MC. He is characterized as a cunning, shameless, scheming, a bit cowardly yet valiant. When he was 6 y.o, he was presented with a chance to make himself famous and known as a prodigy, and most likely gain the support of the empire. But he instead hid his talent because he was afraid that it was a trap and the villagers he grew up with would PROBABLY think that he is possessed. Granted that it WAS a ploy, but a ploy concocted by a 5 y.o. I could think of some ways to get out of it, and I'm no genius. So already we have a forced plot obstacle.
Now the MC hid his talent and abilities because he was afraid, until one day he decided he shouldn't be afraid anymore, then he became a show-off. But he also repeatedly claimed that he wanted no trouble and only wanted to become a lowly official, build a family, and stay and bring prosperity to his little village. Then he went and caused havoc everywhere, even lied, schemed, and cheated so he could top the imperial exam. He just had to have a full mark on every exam and beat everyone at the battle exams. It's already been established that the MC is willing to hide his abilities to avoid trouble, so why did he go out of his way and created trouble to to top the exam when all he needed and wanted to do was to show a little bit of what he could do, gain a minor position and none of the troubles/enemies? Does he want to be lowkey or does he want to be famous? Well, the answer is it depends on the author's mood that day. Already, the MC's motives and characterizations didn't make any sense.
Move on to the support characters. Everyone keeps underestimating the MC, even after the countless "miracles" the MC able to pull out of his ass. For example, at the age of 7, the MC able to create a divine formation that helped the village, destroy a huge boulder with a single strike, and kill a spirit beast king! A king! When he was 7! Yet the villagers kept on saying there's no way he could do this or that, Every. Single. Time. The parents weren't any better either. They kept patronizing him, doubting his every word when he said he could or would do this and that, scolding him, when he's practically a walking talking miracle factory. It's a forced drama. A horrible one at that, and it goes on throughout the novel. Except for a very few people, every support character in this novel acted this way.
Oh he's a scholar that top the capital exams, unbeaten in every fight, and in possession of a sacred sword that could level a city? Oh he's going to face the "genius" #7768 from so and so mysterious family who owns a mildly famous technique or weapon? Oh there's no way the MC is going to win. He is a nobody, a commoner, too young, too s*upid.
Every. Single. Time.
So, prior to the MC's meteoric rise, there was a genius so great, the commoners and scholars practically worshiped her as a goddess, the generals had to listen to her every word, the princes tried to get on her good side and even gain her allegiance, and even the emperor had to show her courtesy. Then the MC came, did everything she did. Showed even more superior talent, and everyone's reaction is to hate him and even tried to kill him because he's too dangerous. Too talented. W.T.F.
Their reasoning is that he's gonna upset the balance. Upset how? He's a hillbilly from a secluded village, never shown his political preferences, didn't know anyone in the capital, didn't even have the chance to step into the palace? He is an unrivaled talent, instead of killing him, it would make more sense to try to gain his allegiance first. If that doesn't work, THEN you could kill him. But no, let's just kill him. Just because.
The only explanation I could think of is the MC is probably the owner of the most punchable face in the world which explains why everybody wants to kill him merely seconds after meeting him.
So now, the commoners have no respect for him, the scholars envied him, the officials afraid of his meteoric rise, the princes wanted him dead, while the emperor, when he realized that the MC got a hold of a powerful sword, used ploys and schemes to snatch the sword away from the MC. Would you want to be a servant of such empire? The MC would. Because reasons. If I was him, I would take my talent to some other empire/kingdom then destroy this shitty empire to smithereens.
I could go on and on, but you get my point. Weak characteristics, confusing motives, no rhyme and reason to what everyone does. Everything they did is only for the sake of advancing the plot.
