It is indeed a slow burner, no wonder it can't reach 9 points. When I was watching it, I had to stop and start watching in batches. The idea is good, the system is comprehensive, and there are no major plot holes. It's just that the plot is hard to keep up. Without a strong plot, it would easily score around 9.2.
To my surprise, I had high expectations after reading some reviews, but it got better and better as I read on. At first, it was a bit... Well, a bit... Ridiculously silly, which was slightly jarring, but I got used to it. The grand world-building in the beginning was a little mind-bending, and some might find it hard to understand, but I really enjoyed the writing style.
A classic villain and protagonist combination. Villain: 1. Has lofty ideals and ambitions. 2. Never slacks off to achieve goals. 3. Works hard every day, using every means to realize dreams. 4. Frequently collaborates with a team. Main characters: 1. Lacking clear goals for the future. 2. Believing their life's purpose is to prevent others from achieving their dreams. 3.
Keep it up! Although the beginning was a bit rambling and nonsensical, you pulled it back very well later on, making it a really good read. I can't wait for the battle to begin!
It's very well written, with a Western fantasy feel to it. This story leans towards a darker and more serious tone. There are some lighthearted moments, but they're not particularly lighthearted. Then it's also a book that requires some brainpower, and you can't skip certain parts directly because there are various foreshadowing elements. If you don't read the foreshadowing, you'll feel confused.
This book is quite good, though not at the level of a masterpiece; in fact, it's quite ordinary. It's a great book for relaxing reading, though the pacing is a bit fast. At the end of the first chapter, I felt that adding another chapter to the daily life section would have been even better. I confess, I underestimated this book. This book is divine. @TeacherKonglingjun, please update more! Other readers will do anything.
This is really fun! It has that anime feel to it. Keep up the good work, author! It would be great as an anime too! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Genre: Western Fantasy Light Novel Keywords: Western fantasy, light novel, harem, intellectual battles Scoring criteria: 10 points maximum Plot: 8.5. Overall, it's very good. It uses a light novel-style episodic plot with smooth transitions between volumes. There are a few slightly rushed parts, but it's not a major issue. Overall, it's excellent. Character portrayal: 9 points.
Five stars! This is a rare gem among light novels on Tomato Bookstore! The author's writing is absolutely fantastic; it's easily in the top three of all the light novels I've read on Tomato Bookstore. The word count is still a bit low, though. I'm planning to read it for a while after finishing the first volume. Author, please, please, please don't cancel it! 💕
This is a masterpiece! This book is constantly digging and filling in plot holes, but not a single one is left unresolved, and it's not the kind of forced explanation. You can figure it out yourself. The part about the medicine at the end that increases the probability of encountering a demon was shocking. I suggest reading one volume at a time. Keep up the good work, author, don't abandon this book!
