FINAL:
I'm dropping my star rating on this to a 2, and dropping the series as well.
In my previous review, I mentioned that the quality of the story started declining around the 3rd phase of the sanctuary. I have to say now that that decline has turned into a steep nosedive. All the cons noticeable in the previous parts of the story seems to be highlighted (immersion breaking fillers, erratic / wandering storyline, super plot armor), while the stuff that made it good / bearable (the boss "raid" / "raid" preparation, interesting beast soul usage) are nowhere to be found.
SUMMARY:
- Kinda slow at first, school life is boring, but beastly soul usage is an interesting premise.
- Story hits the peak when MC starts encountering the super god gene / super god beasts. 4 rating.
- Story goes into a steady decline after MC gets to the 3rd phase of sanctuary. Not recommended to read at this point.
PREVIOUS:
Have read up to
the latest chapter of the RAWsc1461. There's good news and bad news.Good : The story becomes REAAALLY interesting once the MC starts encountering the titular Super God level of genes / beasts. From the name itself, it's a level up from the God level that was previously thought to be the top of the hill - encounters with them are incredibly hard, needs a lot of planning and luck. There's a lot of tension involved, and it sometimes reads like a fight against a raid boss.
Bad : By the 3rd level of the sanctuary, a lot of the tension just gets pulled out. Instead of hunting for the genes required to power up, the MC just gets them from plants. Plants! Eat a couple of fruits, and he's received benefits that he would have gotten from a satisfying fight from the previous levels of the sanctuary. The super god level that provides a lot of the tension gets trivialized as well.
More Bad : The author has this tendency to put in really annoying filler in between chapters, stuff that obviously doesn't further the plot in any way or build on the MCs character. Just. Annoying. Filler.
It's kind of a shame actually. With a bit more polish (and editing!), this would have been a really good story - personally I find the concept interesting.
I would give the story up to the 2nd level of the sanctuary 4 stars. Once the MC gets to the 3rd level tho, it runs out of steam IMO, and I would rate it a 3.
- Entire plot lines are dropped at random. Characters who were very important, and have pending actions just disappear.
- The translation is... sometimes a bit inconsistent. For example, the often-used term Jadeskin randomly switches to Ice Skin, then later switches back. The term "primitive beast" switches to "ordinary beast". Names are misspelled or separated by syllable and then later put back the way they were before.
- Sometimes there are wildly inconsistent bits within a few paragraphs of one another. For example, in the arc I'm reading now the MC has been carrying around a baby for quite a while, and then he finds a sword that's too heavy to lift with all his might. Ten paragraphs later he's carrying it like it's nothing. No scabbard, no effort, nothing, and it isn't even mentioned. And a chapter or two later he's fighting with that sword AND another one in his other hand, and the baby is... in the ether somewhere? He always has enough hands to do four or five things. Similarly, the author has no concept of scale. The MC WALKS hundreds of miles in an hour or two. He has a hard limit on some of his powers, sometimes a few minutes, sometimes a few hours, yet he chases people for DAYS with the active power the only thing letting him keep up. What happened to his limitations? Well, they were inconvenient for the scene, so they were ignored. They'll be back later.
- The MC is hypercompetent. There's never a sense of challenge. Sure, he occasionally loses out on some treasure. It'll be taken by a companion and eaten, or he'll have to flee due to unforeseen circumstances. But in general, whenever there's a "he's going up against the best of the best" moment, I have zero doubt that he'll not only win, but win in a total curbstomp smackdown to make everyone ooh and aah about how awesome he is.
- Similar to #3 above, there's some word-salad inconsistency. Sometimes the MC is overpowered because his "fitness" is so high that it doesn't matter how good someone else's skill level is. Then a chapter or two later he comes up against someone whose fitness is far higher than his, and he smacks them down because his skills are higher. Then later you add in other dimensions like super-spirit body, beast-soul armor or weapons, and so on, and basically he'll win in every instance because ONE element of his is better than his opponent's even though just a short while ago he's denigrating someone who has that element superior to him because he has a different element superior to them. It's rock/paper/scissors where he wins no matter what he casts.
- Some/most of the characterization is very flat. Partially it's because of the MC's hypercompetence, but it's also because everyone else is very one dimensional. They are either good or evil, and everyone is VERY FAR toward the ends of those scales. For example, his girlfriend is a total b*tch... and then thanks to the story's inconsistency she's totally in love with him and Best Waifu with basically nothing in between. He doesn't see her for literally years at a time and yet nothing changes. She's a completely static prop, essentially a pet. Anyone who ever wrongs him (from his perspective) is an enemy forever, and so's the rest of their family, and when we see things from these enemy's perspectives they're always scheming villains.
- It's repetitive. The first arc we see the MC go from wimp to superhero, starting out barely able to kill a primitive creature and later slaughtering stuff three tiers higher, something nobody has ever done before. And then he evolves/ascends to another plane and starts over from scratch. There are new elements in the second world. Spirit shelters, super plants, smarter beasts. But it's the same story. And then he ascends again, and starts over from scratch AGAIN. New elements again, but the same story. I'm assuming this will just continue. By the point I'm reading he's about 2/3 of the way through the third tier, with at least one and probably more tiers ahead of him.
The internal inconsistency is by far the biggest problem with the story. I almost dropped the story around chapter 150. But the worldbuilding really is interesting. It's basically Monster Hunter plus Warframe plus Dune plus every kung-fu cultivation story plus celestial Chinese philosophy plus aliens. Of COURSE some plot elements... more>>
