5 STARS HAVE BEEN SPAMMED! The story started good but turns BAD around chap 60~ At chap 157, it has completely transformed into a cliche harem chinese novel. PATHETIC!! i had high hopes for this😢

In the beginning I thought it had a lot of potential and would develop into one of the better stories I read here but the further you get the worse the quality eventually the mc is just mastering abilities that are part of a new magic system that was never introduced while fighting like a God but other people are able to make it just as far into the catacomb world as him without any abilities.
Ill be honest here. The story started quite good and seems to have lots of potential and youll have fun reading the first few chapter but when you come to chapter 50 orso it turns realy bad. the transalation Quality drops alot and it reads like a child was placed infort of a pc and asked to write a story. as You can imagine it turns realy bad and it basically scews up the story. The logic that was there is ignored and things just appear from nowhere. worst of all The chapters untill 40 a free and are quite good, than its pay to read and let me tell you its not worth it the child takes over and the whole story is like a crashing airplane. do your self a favor and read the Somthing els
I've read 170+ chapters into this (not all on this site) so my review will be based on that. Before anything though, a warning: this story is not strictly a translation. I guess its more a rewrite than a straight translation. Not a very good one either. It misses and skips a lot of key events. Personally I thought the concept of the story was pretty interesting and found it relatively entertaining. I didn't have high expectations and was mostly looking for a fun read and I feel like I got that for the most part. Problem is that somewhere down the line, probably around 70+ chapters in... things start getting messy. At first I thought maybe it was something lost in the translation but the further it goes the more pronounced the issues. Then I checked out the raw version of the story with google translate to see if I could spot anything abnormal. I was surprised to find out that actually this "translation" skips a lot of chapters, a lot of events, encounters and some pretty important story milestones. Now if it stood as its own story, that's okay. Problem is that despite the translator changing so much of the story, they don't adjust it to cover up the changes. Like the MC will suddenly have an item or power with no explanation given as to where it came from or when he got it, it just appears. I assume because they were brought up in chapters that the translator left out. Anyway maybe it gets better in further chapters but personally I couldn't get over having so many "wait what?" moments that kept making me feel like I missed something because something was left out.
The concept is new and exiting but litteraly everything else is trash. World building? Non existent. Characters? One of the flattest protagonist I ever read about. Translation quality? They do not even try to deliver an acceptable quality. The tranlation could be measurable improved by putting the text in Word and accepting all suggestions.
Plagiarism at its worst. It’s like the uploader can’t decide between being a mediocre translator or a terrible original writer. Translation quality isn’t good but I tried to overlook it because the story is fun to read. Then chapters with important story milestones start going missing, replaced by boring original chapters inconsistent with the earlier storyline. That, I tried to overlook too by google-translate-reading the few chapters from the original. Only to later be caught by the plot entirely deviating and made purely of ‘original’ content that are not only uninteresting but painful to read. Basically, it’s not a translation anymore but a completely different story with its first half stolen from someone else. Way to ruin the whole thing. I wish someone else would have just pick up this story and tranlate it instead of turning it into a garbage ‘original’ work.
At times it feels like we are missing entire chapters and things get brought up that weren’t mentioned before and we never even heard anything about the first regional channel competition after mc slept through it?(Time was hard to keep track) for thee days then lucky bags pop up with no explanation as well as multiple charm spells.
This story is okay however there are 5 changes i would make. 1 There are way more chaps On other webSites 2 i Dont like how big teams can be as oP as sOmeone with a system that tells him what To do 3 the Lord system is weird af later kn i read mlt* 4 the world iTslef is kinda shadey 5 so many copies some a kinda better 2.
To balance the over inflated 5 star reviews that have nothing to do with this book/ translation is bad and story is very boring. Chapter titles explain pretty much whats gonna happen and the mc gets things that he needs way to easily for instance, mc gets a grill and machete blueprint, then right after that mc finds a monster that is easy to kill with a sword aka machete, then mc gets its blood which is good for luring monsters and he gets a Heart that can make a Meat Farm but needs a live monster to do it, then mc opens a chest not that long after that gives him a cross bow and meds that can knock out a elephant. This ALL HAPPENS in around 3 chapters, very predictable, very boring and horrible to read.
