Place of Belonging
Translation quality: decent, mechanically speaking, but the terms are inconsistent. Everything is inconsistent, actually - one chapter the MC will be at the peak of the highest realm, then the next chapter (or even later in the same chapter for that matter) he’ll be back to the middle of that same realm. There are multiple “tiers” of everything, and even after the MC auctions off a ton of tier 5 everything, tier 4 is still awe-inspiring and tier 5 is shocking. Updating stability: WN has this listed as “completed”, so despite this review coming as of chapter 168, I’ll count it as very stable, I guess? Story development: all over the place, rushed, and nonsensical. Things are introduced and abandoned, the system the MC has is inconsistent, and even treasures that are extremely common (specifically spatial rings, which are used by everyone) suddenly become unheard-of when the MC auctions them off. Plots are introduced and abandoned, beast pets and side characters are the same, and so on. Character design: uninspired and lacking in … well, everything, basically. None of the characters are anything more than cardboard cutouts of circus caricatures. World background: random, inconsistemt, incoherent, and pointless. If you think you’re seeing a trend here, you’re right. EVERYTHING about this novel feels rushed, inconsistent, unplanned, and ultimately pointless. That’s especially so in the world building category, where the inconsistencies really pile up and end up making everything worthless. Final verdict: drop it like it’s hot. Or better yet, don’t pick it up in the first place.
Honest reviews are here.. It is a typical Chinese novel where transmigration MC possesses the trash young master and hate by all member in his clan and suddenly gets a system to become a strong cultivator so fast that everyone thinks it impossible EXCEPT this novel rather focus on auction than cultivation/fight.. The novel title "trillion rebate" got nothing to do which the novel.. As I read until ch.154, the highest rebate MC got is 10,000 times rebate.. But there are no truth in author calculations. It is a random algebra with nonsense calculations.. For example, "500x rebate low rank 5 beast will give MC high rank 5 beast" or "5000x top rank 5 weapon will give MC top rank 6 weapon" or "10000x top rank 6 pill will give MC top rank 9 pill"??? I'm not sure how the author calculated all this random multiply.. It totally nonsense.. But if you are looking for OP MC, you might like it a little bit.. MC has many strong skills, techniques, and cultivation, but the author rarely explains about it because this novel really focuses on auction.. The author also makes the MC stupid by letting him fall in trap MULTIPLE TIMES even when MC knows it really a trap.. MC has stealth skills that make even the higher realm powerless and can even one shot his elder clan, but he is just playing with him to the point that the small trouble becomes incomparable huge trouble.. Maybe the "trillion rebate" will happen in the last few chapters?? Well, only people who read this novel to the end know about it..
I would say this is a series with great potential. but the writing quality sucks. The author expect us to read without giving background information such as cultivation levels etc. The writing sucks too. Giving me a cringed feeling. I am not sure whether the problem is with the author or translator. You guys can have a read.
