The Top Student Cardmaker

The urban dragon king disguised as a genius card-making master is out of here.

The author has given the card-based strategy a unique feel, the kind that leaves you completely bewildered.

Goodbye, author. The beginning was unique. But this part reverts to a hero rescuing a damsel in distress trope. It lacks the fresh, unconventional feel of the earlier parts, and there's a bunch of pointless dialogue about the villain…

I thought it was the kind of academic superstar card-collecting story described in the synopsis, but it turns out to be a rebranded version. If you're only reading it because of the synopsis, don't bother reading it; it's pointless.

The protagonist's initial efforts to improve himself ultimately rely on the system's abilities and rewards. Was the protagonist's learning simply for the sake of creating a sense of ritual?

The book starts to fall apart from Chapter Four, where the protagonist resorts to the cliché of hiding his true self or facing a miserable future. The concept is good, but the author seems to have read a lot of novels ten years ago and hasn't read any in the last five or six years. The book's tropes are stuck in the past, making it simply poorly written.

The system novel uses a clichéd conflict-generating method from five or six years ago, giving me the impression that the author hasn't written or even read web novels in a long time.

It's great, it instantly brought back the feeling of reading novels 10 years ago.

Renaissance, a dream of the past 😂

All I can say is that the subject matter is good, but author, your formula is the worst of the worst. I'm outta here.
