Chemical Substance
So I cannot review the translation quality of a story with no chapters but I managed to find the raw and read up to chapter 44. However, based on the fact that he's called "Smith" and not Chen Ling worries me that the translator is going to @#$% this story up like another recent story and try to make him American. Based on the raws so far : Story is pretty interesting and bland at the same time. The main character starts off pretty decently, but at a certain point the construction and general effort that goes into his business is left in the hands of others and he becomes a salted fish only responsible for the attributes. That aside, the attribute business and how that all has been handled so far was very interesting to me. So despite the salted fish of a MC, I'm hoping to see this story released and translated properly. Fair warning : There may end up being some nationalism/racism in this novel. The dude builds stuff that have attributes, this does not go unnoticed. Foreign countries do seem to be getting involved and the MC does start being overseen in a way by his own government. It's obvious the MC is going to support China. This may be why translators are switching nationalities of MCs when they translate recently, so it'll be Americans being racist and not Chinese.
This book is actually a magical comedy book. The MC is basically Bob the builder. There is no world-building, secondary characters are steps to comedy. The author in fact knows nothing or very little about the civil construction process. It's basically a book to read in a medium-sized bank row, it's going to get some laughs and that's it.
This novel is good if you were to read the raws but the translated version is worthless the names the content and everything is changed, this is unacceptable if I wanted an original novel I would have read one why would they change a translated novel? It is not like they are making it better So 0/5 for translation and 0/5 for story
I got it wrong in my previous comment (thought it was a shop novel, at least not yet), but I have to sayyy: It's really good!!! You can clearly see it was edited (unlike those other novels), other than Barett's name changing to Brett sometimes (which is not really bothering), there's no problem. The story is really funny aswell, had a good laugh in the early chapters. I recommend it!
