Nice. noice Nice Read till chapter 3 and absolutely dissapointing. The mc is apparently a heaven defying genius who can almost calculate the soon to come future, only by how smart he is. He comes to an ending where he is tortured. He knew this would happen along with the destruction of his family however he let it be. The author desperately tries to describe it as the mc believing in karma and this was his fate. And the mc by doing nothing he may have avoided it. The author is contradicting himself here. Can't the f#cking mc calculate what happens if he does nothing? How did he know that by doing nothing, his family wouldn't be destroyed. Even if he had that Unlucky Star title that doesn't explain anything. What am saying is, a being like that would have NEVER, in any chance arrive at such a low point in life. In conclusion if there are so many loopholes till chapter 3, I don't want to see what happens on later chapters. Also check my comment on chapter 3 if you need more reasons not to waste your time on it. I am being so critical on this, because the author tried to write a novel that he doesn't have the capability to. Also I had my hopes up from the other reviews..... A review based on 3 chapters is not a review. Even if the novel is bad, you can't judge it just with your own opinion and perspective with less than a dozen chapters. An example of this is Grasping Evil, if you judge only by the first 100 chapters, it is something horrible, I say this because I thought so too, but after the first hundred, It was so good that it entered my top 5 novels. It is a rev even if its only the first 3 chapters. Could it be to little to be helpful yes, but does it means its bad/wrong? No because fist of he begins with having only read 3 chapters(instantly giving away how much he knows) and secondly it already can be used as a somewhat basis as to whats gonna happen, should he have read more or is his rev not good because of that? Likely, does that mean it isnt one? No it is. Also if a novel becomes good on chapter 100 than he has every right to call it trash since thats like 2 books(here it would be 4) to become good(even if it is 9+/10 after that in my opinion as a whole such a novel would at most get 8.9-10) . Even tho i think his rev isnt very valuable since its to little to be very relevant. Reviews serve multiple purposes, but their primary function is to provide a comprehensive perspective on a work, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. This is intended to guide potential indecisive readers, allowing them to gather additional information without being exposed to spoilers. A review based on only three chapters proves insufficient to fully evaluate the work, covering, at most, grammatical and stylistic aspects that can significantly evolve in subsequent dozens of chapters. Such evaluation not only deprives potential readers of a potentially captivating work but also compromises the integrity of the evaluation process by neglecting crucial elements such as plot, world-building, and character development, essential for a comprehensive assessment. The notion that any text can be considered a review undermines the value of this profession in real life, which is also remunerated.Regarding your perspective that a work takes hundreds of chapters to become engaging is garbage, I respect your opinion, acknowledging the subjectivity in this realm. However, I would like to point out that such a statement may be inaccurate when applied to the work I mentioned, "Grasping Evil." This is not an inferior quality work in its early chapters but rather a narrative that gradually builds its plot, providing clues and information throughout its chapters. When I read it, the lack of development hindered my ability to fully interpret and comprehend these elements, resulting in an initial negative assessment. A similar example is found in "TLM (The Legendary Mechanic)," a work generally recognized as excellent despite its considered monotonous beginning.In summary, a review is not merely a matter of personal opinion; it is a fact that requires in-depth analysis and an impartial approach. While extreme rigidity is not essential, it is crucial to read enough to substantiate conclusions about the strengths and weaknesses of the work before issuing a meaningful evaluation. Will nobody continue to translate this book? Good start. Let's see where it goes. I need mtl I've read up to the current chapters and I must say, the writing is great, almost no errors from what I can see, the plot is Interesting, the worldbuilding has a lot of potential and mostly, I feel that finally an interesting anti-hero is about to be born.Note: imitating my dear friend, I will rate this novel: Rank C+C+ because of the small amount of chapters, but even with that small amount, it has great potential, I recommend reading it.
