TL;DR: It's really fun. MC is very overpowered, so that will probably be the deciding factor of your enjoyment of this novel.

When I started this novel, my first concern was how the powerscaling would be handled. As the title suggests, our MC has god-given talent that can do a lot of things which really strain my suspension of disbelief. However, if you enjoy getting to see crazy spectacles every arc, then you'll probably enjoy this novel. Allow me to emphasize that this novel is fun and exciting, placing it far... more>> above many of it's contemporaries that fail to capture any of my interest.

The power curve is steep, MC is just a big fish in a small pond at the beginning. But at some point, the plot powers struggle to keep up with what the story demands of him. So, he does get deep into the action fantasy training grind while showing meteoric growth (ofc) that's never quite enough to surmount any of his obstacles with complete confidence.

To anyone hoping for romance: don't hold your breath.

Anyways, the last few chapters felt super rushed.

Spoiler

It blew past about 4 years and killed so many characters off screen I thought the novel was going to have a bad ending.

[collapse]

However, it was still more satisfying than the worst of endings I've read. I read the end while still riding off the high of the arc right before those chapters, which was my favorite of the novel, so I'm just glad the author didn't drag things out in a boring dull arc only for it to come to an obvious end.

Unfortunately,

Spoiler

none of the mysteries of why he came there or who the god who put him there were solved? Ig he was just isekai'd to make a sick novel out of the cool stuff he did lmao

[collapse]

Additionally, I found it a bit frustrating that a lot of conflicts could be very easily resolved if he just asked one of the many extremely powerful characters he knows to do stuff for him. They address this in the novel, but it's still quite annoying to see him putting in more effort and sacrifices than he needs to.

Overall, it's good fun, but I won't reread even for all the thrills it gave me, ending was just that bad. <<less

The pacing is weird, may just be the writing style.

MC becomes an extra with OP sword talent. But then spends 15chs like showing off and restating it. Three different times he went "I'm talented" to different people, queue reactions. Training is loosely brought up and the sword systems arent too explored.

I bored myself reading this. But it has potential to be good.

It's mediocre. The MC did not seem to be interested in developing his talent. He was too focused on surviving and planned to rely on other characters instead.

There's nothing wrong with that but the characters introduced so far are not that interesting.

It's 2 star for me. It's actually fckn absurd. Wth. The MC is s*upid af. He knew he has the super talent as a swordman and yet he keeps on chasing external help. I understand him wanting to get powerful subordinates just like any typical MC and whatnots but WTH man, why don't you just focus on your training instead? Level up your body and sword skills. Goodness. Now he's blaming his body for being weak. He should focus more on himself.

Whenever I read the worser knockoffs of the transported to novel cliche, and compare it to "tr*sh Of The Count's Family" it is hard to enjoy. Even before comparing though this novel is just really generic and dull n writing. Translation is sometimes messed up too

I found the story really enjoyable, a 5 star, up until the last few chapters. Then, it was as if the author had to finish the story quickly when it was at the 3/4 mark. Instead of taking 50+ chapters to finish the author used 2. That's right, 2 chapters. It went from a fully fleshed out story to what was basically just an outline. It gave the necessary information of who died and who lived, but nothing more. None of the ongoing questions were answered, and after such a... more>> fun story the last 2 chapters rate about a 1 star. Since more than 90% was really fun I just lowered it to 3 stars, but for those considering reading be aware that the ending quality is garbage. The plot of the ending is fine, but the writing quality is one step above a list. <<less

Now, I read this and it was really good. Until I read the reviews, usually, I am a person who'd enjoy these novels. But I also don't like them. First of all, THE GOD? Sigh please, for GOD's sake just reveal the reason. It was the main reason I started this novel... Second, NO ROMANCE??? I love romance... Third, I HATE when main characters are killed off like flies, and it was probably passed off as "It was a necessary sacrifice." Ugh.

It just the start but it makes my heart beat eratic. The novel is a story about the journey of the MC from weak to strong that all I can say because it only had 12 chapters translated available but you can vidently see that this is a beautiful novel full of actions and a pinch of mystery, I wonder who is the unknown god is it the fan that gave him the book in his first life?? Well I leave it here and just will wait foe more update... more>> from translator san because I don't want to mtl-ed the novel 'cuz I know it's not 100 percent correct the translation if it's mtl. And thats all_ (:з」∠) _ <<less
