The Mass of Eating Melon Seeds
Medieval-esque setting with bamboo growing everywhere. Almost burning freaking stone castle with fireball. Knights empowered by mystical qi. Killing for a toilet design. Royality everywhere. I can forgive mc being a cheat. I can forgive mc being an muscle-brained idiot or vilain without soul. But i can't forgive no logic being put into world building and zero repercussions for mc moronic actions. Zero research being put into work before sitting and writing silly things.
I finished reading the raw, and up to the ending, the story is not bad. It's not the greatest work, but kept me engaged to the end. Fyi, there is NO harem. The MC only has one love interest and stays faithful. This story is about a transmigrator's journey to becoming a wizard with a Diablo 2 twist. Early on, the MC gains access to the abandoned world of Diablo 2, which provides a springboard to the MC's growth, all the way to the end of the story. The MC is intelligent, ruthless when necessary, loyal and calculative against enemies.
Abel is a master at every occupation and everything is handed to him. He can randomly fire off a spell during practice and discover a priceless artifact on the ground. Zero thought is put into development. Just as an example, Abel becomes a master blacksmith, trains to be stronger than his teacher, rises to a level 2 wizard, learns the most complicated language (elvish), and is an adept runesmith. I'm positive I missed some other accomplishments. How long did all of this take? less than a year. Abel is 1e when he goes to his mentor, and is still 13 after all of the advancements. And this is before he unlocks his magical camp location that slows down time to help him train. It just gets more and more ridiculous as the novel goes on. The author needs to learn to let the novel breathe, or it just seems like a list of accomplishments without having earned anything.
you should have near infinite suspension of disbelief to enjoy this story. mc walking down street a bird poooped on his head what ? this pooop has the essence of immortality. mc tripping in the library what ? this random book have the weaknesses of all my enemies. mc picking up a random paper what ? this peice of paper teach me all languages in the universe mc was a bodybuilder so as expected he can hunt beasts, knows all martial arts ( btw taichi number one ), knows how to craft and smith, play all musical instruments, a professional calligrapher, won 100 nobel prizes, and all the othe good stuff as expected from a professional body builder.
Greetings to all, to start I want to say that I have read up to chapter 1000 in its original language so that you have an idea that some things that I am going to say next may have some spoilers, although I am going to try not to affect them much. I mean it was disappointing as the author completely lost the thread of the story, I have read many novels on the internet and there are few that really disappointed me. When I started reading Abe the Wizard it was not difficult to understand that I was not in front of the best novel I had read, but it was not the worst either, a perfect example of a novel to read and have a nice time. but as the story progresses the development of everything becomes so illogical that I couldn't read any more, I'm going to try to list the things I don't like to make everything a little more organized 1. about the horadric cube I have nothing to say, it is extremely op but I understand that the whole story has its foundation in that, so I don't put much problem for that either (ehem OP OP OP OP) 2. the character is literally a genius in everything, when I say everything is everything, and it becomes worse when he discovers objects in the devil's world that allow him to be better still, he can do anything, it is impossible to fail any type of potion, As difficult as it is to make it and as it were not enough, he makes the potions with the most basic alchemist formula, the most mediocre and clearly all the potions are excellent and with the cube he makes totally incredible potions 3. Returning to the previous topic, the same thing happens with blacksmithing, there comes a point where it is literally simply doing things op and op, the essence of alchemy and blacksmithing is lost. 4.the development of the characters let's say that it is fine, nothing remarkable shooting mediocre, some are somewhat stupid and make totally idiotic decisions, there are some characters that seem to be very important in the story but in the end they are unnecessary and do not contribute anything. 5.To not further this, my main complaint goes at this point, the subject of the cultivation of the magician and the levels, literally became a career in leveling up, the creator of the novel took an option with the sleeve which the main character can receive energy to level up and reaches a point where it is totally unreal, in 10 minutes he did what a magician "normal genius" takes 100 years but be careful we did not finish, as if it were not enough he went back up another level in about an hour. also the funniest thing of all is that the character is terribly weak, because in history he always meets opponents with whom he cannot deal and absolutely in all battles depends on his summons or his creations as bombs, the magic system is totally useless in the main character, the only spell he uses is to teleport, then it turns out that the main character may be a dragon and not content with that he can practice 2 types of item magic when at a certain level you can only choose 1
This is a story you would expect from a Chinese amateur writer, it's very annoying. The mc doesn't show any signs of growth both physically and story wise. The author just dumps overhyped achievements and abilities on him without letting us see the mc growing to fit these achievements. When one writes a story and the setting is let's say mediaeval time the content of the story must be close related to medieval times, so you don't just write a story and the setting is in mediaeval times and the content of the story is like Chinese stuff example in a story he was like the mc bought qi condensing pills or potions, stuff like this you know that the author is an amateur Chinese writer. And that's one of the major bads I have all about the story.that's why I wanted to write I was just winded story I was like I'm not getting the story understand the MC is a 13 year old and he has a past everybody in that you don't give him time to go physically and make their the power still look right to him so yeah story is very frustrated really frustrated that every time have to complain about it. the idea behind the stories amazing .
