a generic Chinese novel unnecessarily too much infodumps( really unbearable). mc with an IQ similar to a one out of a Korean pornhwa( like really dumb asf) forced plot literally everywhere. was really impossible to get past a 100 chapters while trying to ignore the stupidity in plot ,made just for the authors convineance.
New Concept of Cultivation and System is always appreciated. WRITING QUALITY--- One of the in my collection!π STORY DEVELOPMENT--- Very Good pace and there are many Plot twists as we move further. π CHARACTER DESIGN--- This is one of Best Asset of this Story.π£ UPDATING STABILITY--- It is Regular and Timely. βΊοΈ WORLD BACKGROUND--- Very Nicely arranged and described.(also my favourite) It is not like those Complicated Ones and It is quite easy to understand this one.π ADVISE--- [READ IT NOW BECAUSE IT IS WORTH IT] π
This novel is like a new genre of cultivation novel [for me] as I never read anything like the glory of the 'Eternal Thief.' Till the chapter I have read [63] i found very few cliche troupe but I won't call then cliche per se as author only used them as a bone rest of the flesh and blood of the plot is different [I know very wierd comparison] all in all its been a very intriguing as well as very fun read for me. And I hope the author continues to write and doesn't drop it and thank you for writing this novel.
The premise is great. The whole idea of a boy opposing heaven and stealing from it is also quite fun. The problem lies in its execution. The grammar and flow are all over the place with little to no flow. It makes reading a struggle completely pulling you out of the novel's world and stopping you from getting immersed. Flow is unfortunately a concept in writing that takes time to perfect even for native English speakers so it is just something that the author requires more practise at.
A book in the more unknown corners of Webnovel Eternal Thief starts leaving a decent impression on me starting with a very typical start of a cultivation novel that doesn't lean too hard into "HOW DARE YOU TRASH" tropes that Chinese novels tend to start with to try and build motivation for the reader. No, this novel gives you decent story and context for the reader to start becoming invested with the looming idea that the system is coming. The system does arrive with fanfare but the mc is hesitant to accept the cursed power at first showing some actual character. It has easy to understand themes of thievery and despair strewn throughout never asking the reader to deeply invest himself in the story but throws enough out there to keep me interested in it. The world is also rather interesting for a cultivation novel showing the humility to not have humans be ranked #1 in power and building a fully believable world filled to the brim with greedy humans vying to take the #1 in power. The weakest aspects of this story are the author's rare spelling mistakes of certain words like Warrior which he spells as Worrier and also the weakness of the character of the female lead it's not that her motivations aren't explained it's just the author doesn't introduce it the right way (mostly too fast and too reliant on hormones lol) to get me invested in the female lead beyond her attributes (looks, personality, etc.) but these are minor and I have built up a tolerance to this in lew of the things I like about it. Overall I am proud of this author for being able to hit a good bar for his first story
1st mission: βPenalty for failure: Deathβ The story is great but the author really has no idea how to create tension. Every single character will be railroaded into a forced path and there will be no decission making, you will always know what will happen next. However it is at least an decently interesting path. Great story and concept. But the author just never leaves any possibility for alternate paths or βwhat ifβ questions. Anything important was always going to happen the exact way it happened because the author only left one path for the story to continue.
I am surprised this book has so few reviews. It is one of the few books I am not bored of even after 400+ chapters. It doesn't contains too many cliches usually present in the cultivation novels and provides a fresher take than the usual cultivation novel. I personally liked it and would recommend others give it a try.
This hidden gem, need more readers Good: -Unique novel i dare to say the novel build new genre... why risk yourself fighting them if you can defeat enemies by stealing them? their fate is worse. than death to them!! i myself get tired from all this alike novels Transmigration, Reincarnation, Sexual Cultivation. -Nice MC grow over the story the story begin with coward MC and inexperienced which is understandable because how young he was, eleven i guess? he will get better as he grow Bad: -Harem Sadly most What's lack the novel, only one girl (that was confirmed mutual love) and she will not around for unknown time... -worldbuilding The continent of first book was kinda boring. Hopefully the second book fix this two.
This is really a good story. The world is vast, there are many races but the focus will be on humans for a long time, the system is very interesting, there are many mysteries and secrets, the protagonist is not an idiot. He is very young at the beginning and learns from his mistakes. By all indications, this is a work in which the harem will be good, it will not be forced with love at first sight and beauties to bring down kingdoms by throwing themselves at the protagonist's feet wherever he goes. The MC won't have burdens to carry, getting in his way or saving his partner from some lecherous young masters (at least for now). To be honest, the MC path is pretty lonely for a long time, don't expect a protagonist with friends. The MC is not a nice guy who goes out to save people, but if he can help someone and if it doesn't get in the way of his plans, he will. I didn't like it (with mini spoilers): The author tends to exaggerate the information and explanations about some things and some people. Sometimes it gets a little tiring. About the first harem girl... it was weird. A 17 year old girl with a super seductive body falling in love and even setting up a scheme to "marry" a 12 year old boy. It's okay if he or she were 15, but that's not the case. The cultivation world is very cruel, we all know, but in this story, a good-hearted cultivator is a heavenly treasure. The quality of writing needs to improve. 5* :-)
I seriously thought that story would be better with a MC who has a little bit of a dark side. MC has too much plot armor from the start and first chapters are a little bit hard to read because of MC. Story gets better after the first 40 chapters and the characters become notable. It's a new concept and I love to read very much. It is a good novel nonetheless.
The story is good and interesting..there are some scene that i felt funny making me laugh seeing how the person react after being robbed clean by MC lol. All in all its a good novel and i enjoyed it.[img=recommend] Just one thing though... sometimes the author had some error in vocab n grammer and on how the word in a sentence are being used (one error i remember is sedative when describing a woman..i should be seductive). So i think author should take note of it.
