It's a pretty good piece of work, but the beginning uses too many modifiers and transition words (maybe it was run in AI and not polished?). But you can see that the author is gradually improving and revising. The plot progresses smoothly without any major flaws, and the protagonist's growth is very much in line with expectations without any power level inconsistencies.
This novel strikes a balance between Cleveland, the Victorian era, and entertainment. It's quite readable, and you can tell the author's skill is constantly improving. While the power levels don't increase rapidly, the battles are fast-paced, with events unfolding one after another. The protagonist usually finishes his battles quickly, without any drawn-out descriptions, making it quite enjoyable.
It looks good, but why are there no quotation marks around the dialogue? From the moment the protagonist acquires the demon bloodline, the rest of the story has a strong AI feel to it.
It's really well-written. Although the combat power was somewhat restrained, the narrative flow is excellent, except for the first few dozen chapters which lack semicolons.
The only drawback is that the dialogue lacks punctuation marks like "".
Maybe it's just my imagination, but this AI vibe is a bit too strong. 🙂
It's alright. A few chapters had a lot of extreme elements, but the author revised them slightly, which improved things considerably. Also, the author likes to emphasize how rational they are as a game designer, etc. If you can tolerate it, the story is actually quite engaging.
The subject matter is great, the plot isn't outstanding but it's still good, and the acting is satisfying without the constant hiding and playing the fool. However, my past life's experience as a game lead designer tells me that the work has a strong AI feel; based on my past life's literary appreciation skills as a lead designer, I believe that removing most of the unnecessary modifiers would…
It's quite exciting. The protagonist is ruthless towards people, from a sewer rat at the beginning to a fledgling eagle now. The system is also a source of greed. The character portrayal is good, especially the greedy and foul-mouthed three-eyed raven, Murphy, who goes from being sarcastic and obsequious at the beginning to obeying the protagonist as he becomes powerful. The author updates too infrequently, but it's still quite exciting.
It's well-written, but the dialogue and content aren't separated, which affects readability.
