Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel.

[The Birth of a Hero].

[The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent.

I became a part of that novel as the trash of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located.

The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, are destroyed by assassins.

The bigger problem is the fact that this stupid trash who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp.

“…This is going to be a problem.”

I feel like something serious has happened to me.

But it was worth trying to make this my new life.

*Warning* This is a pretty meaty review so here's a TL:DR for those who don't feel like reading all of it:

- The story has boring dialogues, and side characters that drink the kool aid from the MC's d*ck every moment they get. And most if not all of them are there to work as a fix-it-all for everything the MC might need, so he has no need to lift a finger himself.

There's a complete lack of personality in every character in the story, except for maybe the Crown Prince.

There's no... more>> crisis', no impending doom, no sense of loss, and nothing to drive the MC to improve himself or others. The MC is a weak 'slacker' who's entire (imo lack of) 'personality' is being indifferent and aloof in every single situation he finds himself in.

Even though he's supposed to be a normal human from our world, who's suddenly in a high fantasy setting with dragons, magic, beast people, elves, dwarves and all kinds of things that nobody 'normal' has ever experienced. And the MC is indifferent and bored throughout it all, he literally watches a fight with superhuman powers and finds it boring, which is just ridiculous.

Review:

A story about a completely indifferent MC who -no matter the situation- always stays cold and aloof. He literally watches superhuman battles being fought, sits through an entire 4 day long torture session, and speaks to royalty and basically everybody else; like he's not afraid of any repercussions for him speaking out of turn or being and arrogant piece of sh*t. All without it having ANY effect on him personally nor to his surrounding. And we learn absolutely nothing about his past, to make it even slightly realistic to have such a personality.

Characters:

Every single character that is not the MC, are only in the story so they can suck the kool aid out of the MC's d*ck every time he does or says something. Everybody is filled with respect and almost undying loyalty for him, but he has literally not done anything to deserve such loyalty from them in the first place. He shows no respect for anybody, but earns it himself in spades. Yes he helps a few of the characters, but all of it is for his own gains. And they know he has an indifferent, cold and calculative personality -or at least it's supposed to be known, but he doesn't have much of a personality in the first place- but they still love him for no reason.

All the side characters have 1 of 2 purposes:

  1. Work as a fix-it-all for any shortcomings the MC might have, just so he doesn't need to improve or evolve as a character in any meaningful way.
  2. Sucking the MC's d*ck every time he stays indifferent and aloof, or does something that really isn't impressive at all. Just so we as readers get a feeling of how amazing and 'smart' he is, although he really isn't. Everything he does is based on his omniscience gained for free by reading 5 volumes of a book.
None of the side characters have any personality either, so there's not even a reason to write anything in depth about anybody but the MC in this review.

Story/plot:

We know absolutely nothing about how or why the MC suddenly wakes up in the body of a character from a novel he's read 5 Vol. Of. There's no explanations, nothing about him having the memories of the count's trashy son, no mention about the body feeling odd, or weak. There's simply nothing for us to interpret on our own. It just IS, and then the MC goes on his merry way without a care in the world. I mean really? This is just so the MC can abuse his deus ex powers of insight (know it all) he's gained from reading the books. Which is an awful excuse to give him ridiculously OP knowledge he can abuse; right from the start. That's the only reason we learn it's a novel at all.

In the beginning I thought the premise was kind of interesting, I would've loved to see a calculative son of a count building up his fiefdom, and improving their county with out of box thinking, interesting ideas and well planned politic stratagems. That would've been very interesting when put into a fantasy world setting; but that's not how the story goes unfortunately.

It's basically the MC using his deus ex machina knowledge of every easy-to-get power-up he can, none of which takes any effort on his part. There's no sense of loss, no impending crisis, nor a feeling of impending doom and he doesn't lose anything important; his family is incredibly rich, and powerful so he doesn't have to change anything, nor improve himself or others in any way; which leads to him lacking any driving power at all.

Everybody else caters to his every need from the beginning of the story till were I currently got to. This just makes the story incredibly boring because he has no real goal, besides being a slacker, which is frankly not an enticing nor interesting character trait for a MC to have.

There's no threats looming in the background, no mysteries that sucks you in. The only antagonists in the story is some unknown organization which we know nothing about; we get no POV's of; we learn none of their goals, characters or anything which could've otherwise made the 'mystery' interesting. Also the MC knows about them from the beginning. So that also removes any intrigue we might've had.

Writing Style:

It's written quite poorly tbh, the conversations are boring because every character in the story lacks personality -MC included- and all of them worship the MC's every move. They keep giving him 'meaningful' looks when he doesn't see it, to showcase how much kool aid from his d*ck they like to drink. Even the cute 'animals' in the story have no 'cute' personalities either, and all of it shows in how it's written.

Closing words and thoughts:

Over hyped boring slogfest of a story, which had the potential to be something great and different. But instead feels lifeless, hollow, and uninspired. It has a theme that could've had amazing writing, well written dialogues; insightful and flavorful monologues. There could've been some very interesting character, and personality shaping POV's that gave us a reason to give a crap about the characters.

Unfortunately this story has none of that. So i'll give this a 2 star rating only because 1 star is for the truly horrible, and awful stories; which this story isn't quite. But it's not far from it either. <<less

My favorite webnovel so far, updates regularly. No hiatus (so far) filler chapters are very rare as opposed to most chinese novels.

It takes awhile before the context of the story reveals itself of which there are many. One example is that the main character is a Tsundere (like) person. Something I admire about the novel is that it doesnt try and explain every single detail to the reader instead integrating the information with each chapter. The touching moments are amazing.

Best thing? No stupid idiotic harem

Worst thing? After about a few... more>> chapters (20 or so) it becomes an addiction <<less

In my opinion the novel has a big issue with "show, don't tell" aspect. The MC tends to spoil everything in one go, and the novel tends to put in too little effort on developing the story and characters properly, making it feel too fast. Too little content is placed in to make it feel more like a slow burn, as the author skips around with describing certain scenes. It really makes you not care about the side characters.

  • Spoiler

    The chef that's actually a torturer seemed interesting at the start, but it feels like the author didn't put in enough development for me to become invested in him. Same with those cat children, interesting premise, but it fails to keep me hooked because the author didn't seem to intend to develop them very much.

When I first read the title and synopsis of the novel I thought it was going to be one of those read when there is nothing else to read kind of novels. When I read a little further and saw his self-described lazy and "only wanted to live peacefully" attitude I thought I'm going to hate this. However, I felt myself getting drawn in more and more. Granted there's only 25 chapters so far but the story telling in my opinion is pretty well done so far. Jass's review has... more>> a fair point when it says that some of the side characters aren't really fleshed out yet. The author seems to forget some of them in favor of introducing new side characters every once in a while, but for the most part each of the characters plays some kind of role and I believe that some of these forgotten characters will have much bigger roles later on. I really enjoy the MC. At first I thought I would hate his lazy attitude, but the author does a good job of progressing the story and adds a fair bit of conflict and intrigue. The MC has an attitude of avoiding trouble and not really trying to get strong. Even though he strives for a peaceful life and he himself is pretty weak, he will inevitably end up becoming strong based off of the characters around him as time goes on. He doesn't want to be a hero in fact he does everything in his power to not be the hero, but still finds himself in exciting situations. Instead of brute forcing like many other novels, he embraces his limitations and plans certain things accordingly and thoroughly. His being reincarnated has almost no influence on the story so far. There is no implementing future technology or government reforms, it's literally just there to set up the fact that he has read the story that he was reincarnated into. Background wise there really isn't any. We get told of some places, but the locations haven't been flushed out by the author yet. Likewise the different species inhabiting the world and the overall countries and demographics really haven't been explained. In many of these novels the author spends time setting up the different gods or kingdoms, etc. But there isn't much if any of that yet. The translation quality is superb. While reading, I couldn't find any mistakes and there are no clunky phrasings or anything else like that added. I look forward to future chapters and have really enjoyed the ones released so far. Thanks miraclerifle for translating another quality story.

UPDATE: Ch. 193

Still loving the story. Many of the issues that I had like the side characters and world are being addressed. They are a lot more fleshed out as expected after almost 200 chapters. I find the story still enjoyable. One thing is that the MC turns out to be pretty powerful. He still is super lazy and mostly plans and relies on his subordinates so it's not just a one shot enemy situation. The situations are still very interesting and the translation is still one of the best. <<less

Trash is my replacement for Death Flag. And unlike Kazuki/Harold, our trashy young Master Cale actually makes use of the people around him instead of being a stubborn moron who insists on walking alone. To others, Cale is a helpless weakling that needs their help when in truth he’s a manipulative simpleton.
Spoiler

I mean, his obsession with gathering Ancient Power to protect himself actually has him interact with key people from the Plot. He treats powerful people well because he doesn’t want them to have a reason to hold a grudge against him. He doesn’t avoid confrontation and begrudgingly devises plans to derail the villains simply because he doesn’t want to be responsible for the lives of the innocent.

[collapse]
He’s such a failure on his role as trash, I can’t help but laugh at him. What a tsundere. This cowardly trouble magnet can't do lowkey and that's what makes the series so funny.
Spoiler

I bet he'll encounter those crazy mermaids and the Whale Tribe on his "sightseeing trip" after the events in the capital.

The negative aspects mentioned in the few stars reviews do exist.

MC knows what'll happen, so every time he goes somewhere new we, the readers, are being told what is supposed to happen here. And the plot will go "wrong" since the MC's actions change the story he knows. That's what I like. I like seeing him think "I don't want troubles to come my way, I'll be still" then watching troubles get in his way and how is is "forced" to act. Because no matter what he said (don't want... more>> to be noticed, wish for a peaceful life) this MC don't let the people around get injured. He doesn't realize how nice he is and always justify himself ("Ok, I may be acting now, but it's for xx reason, it's advantageous on the long run"). Watching him like this is fun for me, but that won't necessary be the case for everyone else.
And I really like the dragon. Anyway, reviews are quite subjective to begin with.

22/10/19 Edit: I've been reading this novel daily for a whole year now, and the story went above and beyond my expectations. The authors is a god at foreshadowing future events with details you don't notice. We went from a nice show of a MC who knows the future and tours the world, getting powerful all in order to be a slacker, to an epic tale including all the powerful leaders and foes of a world with a rich past and lore. But all things Cale does is for the sake of his slacker life!
The story is very self-centered on him, yet the side characters get to have their own personality and development. You cannot not ending up loving them. <<less

Got really disapointed with this novel and it really doesn't deserve the current 4+ stars. My one star is for balance.

To sum in a few words this novel has too much foreshadowing and too much tell but don't show.

MC knows what will happen and who the important characters are, so EVERYTIME he is going somewhere or doing something, you'll read about what a certain place is and how it's important to the PREVIOUS story, then when he meets any characters the same will happen, a long exposition about that characters... more>> part in the previous story.

This will leave very little room for any actual story where the current MC actually does something. The information about places and people also gets repeated every few chapters, which makes it even worse.

Added to SHORT CHAPTERS and several useless conversations (like the MC trading pleasantries with nobles one too many times, or talking rubish with his butlers or even having descriptions of one too many meals) this novel becomes quite annoying to anyone following it daily.

So, although I really liked it at first, after 54 chapters I realized this pattern and how the story doesn't flow and is always locked in this tell but don't show routine about the previous story instead of focusing on the current one.

In all these chapters we already met several characters and places (in the dozens really) but very little happens in these places and with these characters. So little that you could sum it up in a paragraph. The remaining written content are the examples that I gave above, talks about what that character or place meant to the previous story.

If you are bored I can advise you to read it, but for fcks sake, don't do it one chapter at a time like I did and be warned that it will be a slow burn kind of story.

If you have a lot of chapters you can at least speed though them while ignoring all the foreshadowing, but if you read one chapter a day, only a few lines of actual story will remain.

Reading this one chapter a day was a really disapointing experience for me so I wanted to share. <<less

This novel is a hidden gem!

Everything from character development to the execution of the plot flowed flawlessly. With the addition of a hint of underlying humor and sarcasm, this novel is beautifully written.

Character:

The MC, as suggested by the title, is a Korean who transmigrated into the body of a trash noble in a novel he was reading. The goal of the MC is to live a peaceful life as a wealthy hermit and avoid all conflicts. But in order to do that, he needs to avoid the hero of the... more>> novel, who had beaten up the trash in the original storyline, and find ways to protect himself. The MC is a very rational individual who values his life above all else, so he ends up looking for ancient powers to protect himself with as well as earning money, because money is the only reliable thing in the world. Along the way, the MC picks up the hero, who is another transmigrated Korean, and ends up raising the hero to be a pretty upright gentleman. The MC also helps the hero gather his strong sidekicks ahead of time in the hopes the hero would leave the MC alone, but of course, the hero starts to get attached to the MC (the hero is like those full of justice type of characters and feel the need to help the weak) as the MC ends up saving people and animals left and right. Even though the MC comes off as an aloof individual, he is more of a softie as he time and again display his caring side. The MC is not op, but his companions are very op, like the hero, black dragon, beast people, etc. Despite the fact that the MC is the weakest within his group of companions, the interactions between the MC and supporting characters are very amusing and heartwarming.

Plot:

The storyline is fairly cliché with the MC's trashy personality turning into a cunning character as he grows stronger. From saving the kingdom from terrorist attacks to helping the beast tribe, the MC is embroiled into an epic conspiracy that he slowly unravels. Despite the fact that this is your typical "the unsung hero's adventure" type of plot with the MC pulling the strings from behind the scenes most of the time, there is no romance or harem! I repeat, there is NO romance or harem! It is so difficult to find a good transmigration story without romance or harem in it, so I am very satisfied with the development of this story so far.

Overall:

This is a great novel that completely stole my attention away. I finished all chapters within a single day because I was that addicted to it! I am eagerly waiting for new chapters to come out, so it goes without saying that I highly recommend this novel! <<less

Trash of counts family is kinda representing how are the downfall of most korean novels in NU.

It has amazing start, pretty good premise, n interesting MC. But slowly, the lack of main plot development, the repetitive plot progression, the lackness of challenge/tension, and the shallowness of supporting characters traits, tookover and ruining the novels.

Trash of counts family, The Novels extra, EER, Tutorial is too hard, LMS, n so many awesome korean novels suffer and ruined in later chapters because of those aspects. I am kinda sad because I actually really... more>> love all those novels before their downfall. <<less

Of the first few chapters, the prologue probably was the best. What waits afterwards: redundant or very awkward dialogue, unnecessary repetition, badly placed descriptions, et cetera. This author lacks some basic writing skills. A big black mark against the novel.

The first little bit of story didn't impress me, but it wasn't bad. The protagonist knows where the overpowered character will appear, and provides for him in the hope that he'll profit off of it. I liked how the overpowered character was suspicious of him and didn't feel like being indebted.... more>> Imagine: you lie in a remote dark alley, hungry and tired. Suddenly someone approaches you and says he'll feed you and invites you to come with. Reminds me a lot of a white van and delicious candy. It shows some promise in this aspect: the accent does not lie on violence. Something others mentioned already is that in this novel, conflicts are resolved through other means. It's probably the strong point of the novel, but...

Ironically I still have a problem with smaller elements of the story, tying in to the writing skills again. The way the writer writes about the protagonist's actions is awkward. The author can't pull off dialogue all that well. No, it isn't because he just transmigrated. It's specifically the way it's written. Also, this novel frequently infringes on "Show, don't tell" as another reviewer pointed out. Another black mark against the novel.

I really liked the premise, but execution was sorely lacking. I rarely do not give a novel a fair chance, but this one I really couldn't read any more of. Portraying actions adequately and writing dialogue well are necessities for any self-respecting author. Two stars, because it has redeeming aspects. I've read bad translations and repetitive writing, read through real dumpster fires, but I couldn't stomach this. I don't trust the author to design an excellent plot on the long term either: writing a transmigration story well actually isn't easy. <<less

Definitely over rated. The story itself is boring, every problem is easily solved by one deus ex machina or a convenient super rare item that is specialized specifically for the problem hes eventually going to encounter. The author gave the main character a op deus ex machina dragon servant which trivializes every conflict he ever enters. The main character's personality has the potential to be interesting if developed, but instead the author chooses to fill the novel with worshiping the MC. The supporting cast is boring and lifeless, I see no potential anywhere for interesting developments.

The plot so far is boring and predictable as the author reuses the same storyline over and over. The MC gets some treasure, then a problem happens that requires this treasure, then he gets worshiped by every character in sight until the next treasure appears. Repeat about 5 times then that explains the plot of chapter 1-100

2/5 stars

I can see why this novel is ranked No1. I can understand the criticism it gets. But I really really enjoyed reading this novel. There's something really charming about it.

It's not a perfect novel, at some points it has plot holes but the author put a lot of work into creating a world and characters. For me it was a smooth read. I'm really glad this is not a harem novel. The relationship between all the characters and the care they have for each other is really charming.

Goddamn, finally a super awesome novel who diesndo have HAREM in it!! And actually focuses on building loyalty through friendships.

It feels like I just came out from s kindergarden event and came across a refreshing, calm and mature breeze. That's how this novel makes me think after reading so many similar genres.

The plot is absolutely thrilling with no loopholes so far, everything naturally connects and the charatcha growth of each and every person are logical and mature. It feels great to finally be able to read a piece of Art... more>> that is intelligent and doesn't just follow the popular demand.

I do hope that it will continue like this and not turn into some shabby harem with everyone at the Beck and call of the oh-supreme-one.

I actually not only FERVENTLY WISH for it to NEVER have harem, but I also think that it should continue without any romance as well.

It's really a very refreshing and exciting read!

I hate this kind of story. MC is a pushover choosing hard way involved in all short of problem he didn't have to despote expecting to lived a peaceful life. I don't know if anyone saying MC character is 3D shit, in my opinion autjor forcing the story goes with all kind of MC's confusing monologue which absolutely contradict everything MC done. Reading the story so far I cant find any uniqueness to either the story or the character presentation. It just reincarnation story where the reincarnated became absolutely flashy... more>> and advantageous.

Honestly I feel it rated at 3 star. But I just rate it 1 because the undeserving high rating. <<less

I'm loving the story so far, but it wasn't until about chapter 15 that I got really into it. I would suggest you stick with it at least that far before deciding to drop it.

The novel is still in the very early stages, so it could go bad, many novel have a good start and later turn to garbage, but I'm optimistic about this one. The novel is very well written and well translated.

The MC is very interesting, very manipulative, but not in an as*hole kind of way. He just... more>> wants to live a comfortable and peaceful life, so he tries to give side characters a helpful push into the glorious path of becoming heroes, while trying to remain unnoticed, but it looks like fate might have other plans for him.

I can't wait to see if the novel lives up to my expectations, I will be back to update this review in the future.

------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: So far this novel is a "feel good read" there arent many enemies for the MC to confront, so far it feel like a story about an MC traveling the world making friends with important or powerful people, collecting them like pokemon. This isn't a bad thing per say, but im hoping that the stakes are raised in the future. It is still relatively early and it feels like something is brewing in the background, but we only get glimpses of it, so I'm still optimistic.

------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT 2: Lost interest. The novel has some cool moments, but the build up to said moments is bland, and the dialogue gets repetitive making it a tedious read. I may come back after more chapters are translated to speed read the boring parts. <<less

A lot of repetition. They say that the MC gets beat up by the story's protagonist four or five times before it actually could happen; and when mentioned it's completely unrelated to what's currently happening in the story. Seems as if the writer thinks the readers forgot about it the first two times.

Most of the story is telling the events of what already happened in another story. And the little that does happen is just the repeated surprise of people towards his changed behavior. The actual events of the story... more>> are boring because there is no risk or challenge since he already has knowledge of the world from reading about it. What's the point of isekai, of transporting to another world if you already know everything that's going to happen? Wouldn't that be boring?

Repeats that he can be shameless because everyone already has a low opinion of him and that that is supposed to be a great thing. He could still do that even if everyone thought he was great. The truly great thing about being shameless is not caring about what people think. I think the writer was trying to say that but wanted to be more original.

The first volume of death flags was interesting because the MC and his family were basically evil, so he had to right wrongs without being found out that he had changed. While the MC of this story revels in being lazy and staying out of the way. Which one sounds more interesting for a story and main character? <<less

Wow. This is a novel where the MC is subtle and clever without the author stopping for half a page to explain things. Of course, that means you might miss some clever moments, but I personally prefer this. The author doesn't tell you, he shows you.

Having said that, there's a lot of people claiming the opposite. However, they seem to be missing the point. The story isn't about the hero's original journey, although the MC mentions it a lot. It's about the MCs careful social manipulations.

English is not my native so keep this in mind.

4 - is max rating for this novel and I can explain you why:

Plot itself is good, characters are good, MC is kinda good. When you read it and you feel like its a really good novel, despite the fact its about another one transmigrator cliche, but you begin enjoy it really well after you survive constant reminders of MC, how he got beaten by another MC in novel, so if you survive 10 or so chapters without rejection then you... more>> will read it till the end... or until you will find out shoking truth:

Spoiler

THERE IS NO ROMANCE IN THIS NOVEL AT ALL. Not like MC has to have romantic relationships, its totally understandable if author doesnt want MC have any girfriend\wife\harem etc. Its okay to be whatewer MC is because author is korean, so I assume MC will be virgin forever, but the problem with this novel is that nobody in this novel has any romantic relationships at all, even some distant side characters.

When you realize it, you wont find this novel entertaining anymore, like it was when you started to read it. And now you cant unsee my spoiler.

Basically we have here a world, where author did his best, but forgot essential points:

  1. Half of the world problems were because of womens. No offence here ladies, we all love you and thats why sometimes we do some crazy sh*t here and there, because love or lust or libido or whatever there is making our IQ decrease by 30-40% minimum. But exact same thing making our life fun and entertaining, colorful and bright, happy and blissful. None of this represented in this novel, except some funny moments on kindergarten level.
  2. Since god knows when noble families always planned future of their heirs, and marriages were MAJOR instrument in their disposal. Here we have MC, who by 18 doesnt have any fiancee. Ok he is\was trash, but even so, he is RICH trash, his father could find for him someone even for political marriage etc. I just cant belive it imo.
  3. OK, I accept the fact that mc`s father is richest man in the world and he doesnt want more money or power, and our MC is korean, so s*x and this there overall wasnt in his vocabulary from the start. But where gone all those poor nobles with their daugters, golddiggers, nobody wants to have silly rich young lord who seems to easy to manipulate? nodody wants to "upgrade" their status and become a noble? Nobody comes to our MC with that intentions. how "lucky" he is.
  4. MC have curious little dragon, who looks after our MC 24\7 for about 1, 5 year and there wasnt even one funny moment when Raon could see MC polishing his spear. Probably because our MC has monk class or because he is korean.
  5. Imagine a world without internet, where tiny gossips always transforming into huge news that all folk discussing. Secret lovers, shameful brothel stories and so on doesnt exist in this novel. So nobles are pure AF and the dont even talk about any dirty gossip so far. Yep, another one unbelievable fact here. Author is either child himself or this novel dedicated for audience between 6-12 y.o.

I was immediately hooked due to its similarity with The Novel's extra, and I really enjoy this. I find that most of the characters lack certain aspects that would make them memorable, however, there is a solid foundation so that they can develop with the story.

Although at first I was taken aback due to the MC's constant "spoiling" of the story, I soon came to realise that this is no longer the story of the Novel, but of his adventures. So anything the MC may say shouldn't be taken at... more>> face value as within days of his "transmigration" the story of the Novel had already changed drastically.

I really enjoy this premise of someone entering a Novel's world, or Game world and would recomend this to people who enjoy The novel's Extra, The Breakers and also The Rise of the Shield Hero. The editing could use a little work, just simple mistakes like a misplaced letter, however, overall the quality of the translation is amazing compared to some I have read before.

Also,
Spoiler

the way that the Stories' characters notice the chamge in the MC is, in my opinion, hilarious, and the fast pace of the Novel leaves me in anticipation of how the story will develop in the near future

Its... okay. Err... how do I explain this? After a while it just gets... boring? Its not like anything is wrong with it, it just feels like things start to drag on longer than necessary. The most interesting parts being the ones that involve the 'elemental powers' the MC received/is receiving while everything else just feels kinda dull and makes me wanna skip.

Maybe it needs an actual love interest? Or maybe not making all the emotional parts that don't include the dragon feel so... forced and unnatural?

Idk, I have complicated... more>> feelings about only giving a 3 when I used to enjoy this novel so much. :/ <<less

I will be honest and say that the premise of the story isn't exactly a one of a kind nor is it the best of it's kind, but it is enjoyable to read, which could be argued by others, and the the character development isn't completely dull. One thing it lacks, NOT a negative just something I wish it had, is that I want to what goes on in the other characters minds, but not too much pov just at certain moments. I believe this would help give the characters... more>> more character and lay a foundation on how the characters behave. The only problem to this is that a lot of the authors that i've read that have done this seem to jumble the characters personalities making all the characters have similar personalities or just make all of them inner perverts to make up for the lack of character. I am not saying the characters are dull in this story, but rather just a small curiosity on what and how the other characters think. Also, having characters show a different side to themselves, without them breaking out of character would be a nice touch. Other than that there aren't really too many complaints, the way the setting is introduced to the different abilities are displayed are something to be admired. Power in this world can't be explained through simple math because it isn't a game world nor does the MC have some heaven defying game element, which is a plus sense it allows the readers to challenge their imagination, but it would be much better if the MC has some way of measuring a person's power instead of using powers that "might" be able to destroy a continent when the person could only just destroy a building. If you've read this far than please do read this and support this novel, I might have criticized it, but that's just to help other curious readers to know what to expect and help them get over the bitter feeling that his novel is missing something and instead actually enjoy the positives in this novel because it certainly is a good novel to try and read. <<less
