I’ll rate it 2 stars instead of 1 for having an interesting premise, though it’s like gold wrapped in dog sh*t at this point. Typically I’d only actually rate a series after having read at least 30 chapters of it, but currently, what I’m doing isn’t even reading, it’s skimming.

The novel from the start is almost incomprehensible due to the murim naming sense that’s used. They attach a bunch of adjectives (Great, Heavenly, Demonic) together with nonsense like Grand Sky Mantra to create the Heavenly Great Grand Sky Mantra which... more>> is then repeated several times in a row throughout the chapter. Every. Single. Word. For every type of martial art, magic, or whatever else there is. It’s clunky, it’s annoying, and it quite frankly makes my eyes feel like they’re burning trying to decipher what the hell is actually going on past a certain point.

It also falls into the common wish fulfillment tropes that, personally, I can’t stand. I wouldn’t mind the protagonist having the most “talent” in all of his past lives. It’s pretty clear the talent was just a base in those lives and that he actually had to work to get stronger. However, in his current life, while none of his talent transfers over and he’s only supposed to have a good face mind you, he’s capable of taking on people at “first-rate” within 30 seconds of reincarnating using just some nails and mana, which his body didn’t even have until literally just then.

Then there’s the thing that pissed me off the most after the damn murim names. The MC either takes the house of one of the guys he killed or moves into a hotel (it’s never explained in detail making it damn confusing) which for some damn reason has some sort of “Spirit Vein” or whatever that lets him reach first circle in magic within a week is so good that the martial artist and mages of the other world, who’ve crossed over to earth but are losing out due to the earthling’s systems, would be able to overwhelm the earthlings with its use. In some random hotel. Like HUH?!? And it’s not even elaborated on after that?! Like genuinely, what the f*ck? How has it not been discovered before this, and how in the f*ck did MC stumble across it? Coincidence can only go so damn far.

Anyways, my point is, this sh*t sucks. <<less

The setting of the story has potential, so I'm giving it a higher rating in hopes of seeing how the different genres/worlds in the story interact down the line. However, I really don't enjoy the main character. He doesn't have much personality at all, aside from being strong/smart/good looking. It's very much a story where things just happen to the MC, MC reacts, other characters react to MC being super awesome, other characters then move the story forward while MC is dragged along. I think it could be worth a... more>> shot to read based on the blending of different novel genres, but if that aspect doesn't get explored then there isn't much else going for the novel.

Also, the translation quality can leave something to be desired. There are things like pronouns getting switched around, names for places, things, powers, etc. Switching between an English translation and Korean name, general awkward formatting at times, etc.

In retrospect a 2.5/5 would have been more appropriate. <<less

MC has a needlessly convoluted and confusing series of past lives. They serve only as a weirdly long pseudo-prologue and chapter interruption filler flashbacks as the MC constantly thinks about "how does this thing in front of me relate to one of my past lives?" Then he goes into a third-of-a-chapter-length internal monologue/flashback while maybe 30 seconds pass by in the actual story. Fight scenes take too long since they explain things like an homage to classic Speed Racer.

MC has so many layers of stacked plot armor and genre hybrid... more>> fusion nonsense. He's a pro gamer, an archmage, and a martial god rolled into one quite literally. Those were his past lives, and he can't stop having flashbacks over and over and over. And he's going to keep telling you about it. A lot.

Then other reincarnators are thrown in because... uh... why? It seems like it's for the sake of genre fusion itself. Except it wasn't really done correctly.

He refers to the murim world as being in the distant past. Like, uhhh... you really think they had magic and could fly back then? Why do webnovel authors like to conflate being in an entirely different reality with time travel? If you reincarnate in a world that looks like the 1880's, but they're flying around with magic on top of swords, then you haven't time traveled. You're in another dimension or branch reality, bruh.

MC reads like a classic Chinese manhua protagonist character in an "I became the villain" story, except he's the bumbling idiot Original Protagonist with an infinite number of plot armor contrivances he can pull out his ass.

Usage of onomatopoeia is inconsistent and redundant. Why have TAP TAP DRIP DRIP bullsh*t at all if you're just going to describe what it is immediately after? TAP TAP means nothing. It can be quiet knocking. Maybe it's raining. Is the wind hitting an object outside? It might just be someone actually tapping. Who knows? Why leave vague information there only to make it redundant immediately after? What's the point other than being annoying? Useless redundant filler?

Dialogue gets long without identifying who is speaking, and the characters don't weirdly call each other by their full names or have consistently quirky/unique speaking mannerisms. Like other webnovels, lines of dialogue don't follow turn structure in formatting. Sometimes the same person occupies two consecutive lines and messes up the formatting order. Probably a translation thing since I see it a lot in other works, but it doesn't make it any less bad.

Other than the above gripes, consonant and syllable pattern of a lot of the names are so similar that they blend together without referencing a character list.

TLDR: confusing mashup of the lesser parts of better stories, names sound too similar, akin to a kitchen sink approach to story-writing, weirdly inconsistent formatting at random <<less

Story is quite interesting, but it's very hard to read because it's very obviously a hardly edited MTL.

Pro

  • MC is powerful and doesn't care, it's kinda refreshing.
  • The world building is interesting, especially how the MC views the "system".
Con

  • The translation. It's frankly awful. The dialogues/thoughts are hard to follow and stiff, it's way too literal, mixes past and present tenses, genders, first and third person. At least it's edited but this is clearly MTL. It needs someone to edit everything and make the English more natural.

Amazing novel so far, its fun seeing an op MC recover his power while teaching a bunch of walking anime tropes, it breaks the "isekai formula" a little while still being the same style, if you are into OP MCs give it a go.

It had a good start but it lacks a driving force. The author after having set the MC's background grabbed of bunch of different genres and cliches, put it into a bowl, mishmashed it together, and called it a day. Other than his past lives, every new element and event is forced, has little sense in the progression, or is blatantly ignored.

Spoiler

Why is he stranded on this academy island? It was first stated the humans here were too s*upid too know about the spirit Vein, but later says the Academy is situated on it and that they are now on a island that's only an Academy.

What about his evil family? Why tf has there been nothing of it yet?

Why is he even at the academy and in public? He was literally being mu*dereda while ago and now waltzing around when he just got a little bit stronger, not wishing to have his life screwed over yet crippling and killing people a few pars later.

Even though he killed some Villains, there's no events afterwards. One FL character says "Oh I see" and that's pretty much it. No news, no trouble, no et cetera.

[collapse]

There are so many lapses in intellectual ability despite the MC, who is going to be a professor later, the author fails to notice and adress. It brings real college professors to shame.

I just can't continue brainwashing myself that I'll like it and continue reading, my iq ain't low enough to read this with the randomize factor set to max on the possibile ai bot randomize factor function

If the author skipped all the baloney, and went from the prolonged to a straight transition into the academy, this novel would've been great, but it transitions into multiple sub genres and different trains of writing/plot styles, really suspect ai writing being used tbh <<less
