Reviews of The Mech Touch

Reveal spoiler

Story Developement: it doesnt really "develope", there isnt proper cause and effects, No initiative earned, mc doesnt steer the situation. The different Arcs acts more like seasons, and since theres not much character developement either the MC just reacts to these seasons. So how does the story developes? It comes in the form of incoming settings or contrived events and system handouts, the system is the real mc and you get to see how Ves the fake mc fumble through the season with his gifts& handouts. However creating improved mechs has always been the sole progression of both character and story; unfortunately mech creation is almost handled somewhat like a stop gape in between long events most of the time. writing quality: Author doesnt know how to use 3 dollar words at al. He forced in words he doesnt fully understand for no apparent reason. Descriptive words such as ubiquitous or innocuos, inconspicuous should be used as an expression, extentuation, or subtle exaggeration instead or commonly thrown out for no odd reason: he should just use "discreet"or "obvious", "common" "harmless" instead. Unfortunately when its actually time to use the 3dollar exaggerated words as expressions however the auther used translated french words instead for no reason?? je ne comprende pas¿¿ Is the author trying to break english with style? The writing itself is exactly like a gradeschool textbook. If the quotes, action, story progressions are the textbooks diagram and illustrations that are easy to understand; then below each "picture" is a boring lengthy commentations, statements, and grossly false claims such as "all humans are based heartless creatures". eg. mc says after almost having his company taken over "i forgive you this time but if this happens again ill fire you!" after this quote you get bodies of text on how firing him a "bigshot of some kind" would be bad news so although how blatantly beta the mc is there is a self consolation. Almost as if the author knows how beta it is and tries to do immediate damage control. Then he goes on a tangent on mcs pov on that statement alone. Then theresva claim on how "all humans are based greedy animals" and explains why this guy try to take over the company and hed do it again... etc etc drags on... other novels may just mention whats on mcs mind how he will deal with it or organise his thoughts, and react in his mind then execute it slowly. whatever doesnt leave the readers in the dark, treating readers like streetmarket bystanders. world background: a lot of varied backgrounds, a smudge of imagery shown in each at best. a paragraph of adjectives no more for every new setting.. its not enough and feels more like a canvas. chacter design: character doesnt grow, he started off as a hopeless beta with nothing and a thing for taking hits. In fact tve story progresses by the different things hes taking hits from which he does nothing to fix or change himself. taking hits from society before system, the system itself, his cat, business partners, engineers and other designers, bureacracy n gangs, politics n nobles, his mother,master, his famiky, his wife, his kid?. its his system that got him through everything or others doing it for him or telling him what to do. its below average book but the effort made it a story still. Theres obviously no plot or any storyboarding effort. *to the gradeschoolers* story and plot doesnt mean the same thing

Starts out great for the first few 100 chapters, then the war starts and the story drags on and on and on. It's like the story before the war, and when the war starts, are two separate stories. It starts as a system/business story then becomes a space/war drama. There's also a lot of fluff and overly detailed writing that breaks away from the main story, making a decent chapter stretch to two or even three chapters. Very disappointed in the direction the story is taking. This arc will probably last hundreds of more chapters unless there's a time skip, because the war will last for years.

this book it 60% filler 20% designing of mechs 20% MC doing crazy stuff

like this novel but so much expensive on the SS per chapter vs amount of release per day. realease more and lower ss to about 6-8 per chapter. 140 140 140 140 characters.

Its a really good story with so much space to develope when i started reading it was Just beca use of the genre but once you read a couple chaps you need to keep going so if the author ever want to translate it to spanish please let me know

Okay. I just finished reading the first 41ch. I must say that I'm impressed. The author really has experience writing, and the subject is very good. I never thought that I would read 2days in a row a story about mecha :)). I think this is the best original SF of the year. If the author manages to rise the count of ch to 100, fast, it will attract attention, and this hidden gem will shine on the power ranking. Good story, very well writing, i just hope for more ch.

Read it it’s reaalllllly good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This book, started great, refreshing plot, and MC is not a fighter he desings mechs, and author was on FIRE, but just for his 2 first original desings, they were detailed just enough so your imagination could set of fireworks in your head, and 5000 chapters in, I can remember them in my mind lividly. But then somebody, someone or something killed the artist. None of his mechs bore any detail, he started typing filler chapters( What could be said in three sentences you drag on for several hunder words.) The romance plot took noosedive, author probably had broken up with someone, beacuse his wife just had angry words for him, no love, no kind gestures, just fight, maybe thats how his parents were who knows. He planned his children lifes for them not giving them much choice. Through whole story he ridicules any kind of faith, but then he becomes God himself. Generally is is uniqe storry, much better then the rest out there, he has good plot twists, but this author appeard happy to me when he started the story, and then he just spiraled out. This could have been masterpiece, easy ranked number one, sad to see it go this way. Best of luck in life author san

Gloriana ruined this novel. I’ve never seen an author obliterate his own work in such an easily avoidable way. He literally went out of his way to make an annoying character and then imbeded that character into the heart of the story. Everything about her sucks. It’s genuinely tragic to read thousands of chapters into a book just to have it ruined for no reason.

is it me or it's just too slow from chapter 1137 to 4800 I read over 3600 chapter and ves didn't advance to senior mech designer [img=Speechless]

The story is really well written and the world is really creative and interesting but all the characters are horrible people that I hope die horible deaths. How the author ever thought it was a good idea to turn Ves into the most impulsive and obnoxious character I’ve ever read astounds me. Like if he ever actually becomes a star designer I fear for the safety of the human race. There are literally no lines he won’t cross, I’ve read a little past chapter 4,000 at this time and the only reason I’ve stuck around is because the world is so interesting and because I only have to read it for like 15 minutes a day. The story peaks just before the war arc. I can’t even remember the last time he has used the system. The only good thing is that Glorina isn’t as overtly obnoxious as she used to be. I still very much want to punch her in the face but more recently she’s been largely ignored. The plotline where he blackmails the Aduc Family is what really sent me over the edge because at least before the bad things he had done were at worst a retaliation to a minor slight even though he usually blew it out of proportion and got a lot of innocents involved in the crossfire. With the Aduc Family though he went out of his way to hurt a business partner that went out of there way to work with him and we’re nothing but respectful. Not only did he blackmail them into giving up their family secret techniques but he used his unique abilities to create a design spirit that all but brainwashes them. I guess this demonmstrated to me that any hope of Ves being a good person going forward or just not the villain is completely gone. I pity the members of the Laekinson clan and wouldn’t be surprised if in the future if he kills and harvest’s his daughter for spiritual ingredients.

The story was being good, I was liking the MC until the MC became a wimp.

I had a lot of fun reading this novel. But after the author focused on esoteric things, the story got very frustrating. Certain things are forced on the reader to accept, with twisted logic. It totally broke my immersion in the story. The first 300 chapters is the best, after that the author destroyed an incredible story.

I have so much love and hate relationship with this novel. On one hand i love idea of designing mechs, I love how spirituality works. Its truly unique take on "crafter/builder" genre. At the same time I hate how slow and tedious pace is. MC accomplishes so much, for author to write in just next chapter, that all those accomplishments don't mean much because hes not Journeyman/Senior/Master yet. MC makes millions of credits just to learn that its equivalent to weekly salary in 1st state country XDXD I just cant ... Why didn't he design mechs in 1st state country then from the start ???? Its like ... you want to make money, but you live in poor part of africa, so you design cars made of wood and sell them cheaply to your fellow African friends ... or you know, you can go to USA and make millions in 2 years. All problems that MC faces feel so much artificial. They are not mentioned ahead of time. We learn that his mechs are worth nothing only after he build some of them... MC could use system about 10 times more, but instead he focuses on some stupid issues and despite having system he grows at the speed equal to other brilliant mech designers. And its all explained that "he hides his power" ... MC goes on some life risking adventures, just to get some random rock out of it. And its described that "that was high risk, I could have died at least 10 times during this adventure, but it was worth it" ... This whole story has good idea, but is artificially extended, just to pump more pages. And stupid actions MC takes are explained as "it was all worth it, because I'm hard person, much better then those mech designes who sit all day and design!" meanwhile his system REWARD HIM FOR SITTING ALL DAY AND DESIGNING MECHS. If he simply stopped going on all of this stupid adventures, and focused on designing mechs, and released them to virtual market, he would make sooo muuuch system point that in 2 years he would be master. But no. Lets waste 7 years on stupid missions and adventures that dont benefit MC at all.

MC has no real conviction or direction and basically does everything either the System forces him to or others force him to. Really like the concept of the world but having an MC that is spineless makes it a chore to slog through the chapters.

A good novel, it has a nice universe with faction, families and organizations, but im rather annoyied by the fact that the author like to nerf the system, also his math/foreshadow have issues. Is not the best novel i have read about mech, but i still can recommend it.

PRO: This is a great premise for a WN. It's just fresh and interesting. While most stories would choose a main characters that's the pilot of a mech and goes on to fight heroic battle to save his home, the protagonist here is a mech designer that is just starting out and has to navigate the difficulties of actually building these mech. Things like problems in supply chain, license fees, design criteria all have to be figured out and overcome. The main character is interesting as well. He's not someone people are constantly fawning over, and has to fight and struggle to climb his way up, though he does have supporters they're not shy about criticizing him or sharing their experience to help him make an informed decision (instead of the usual "the boss is always right, everything he says is always perfect" trope you see way too often). Finally, the writing quality is excellent. You can tell that it's not just the first draft that's posted as soon as the last sentence is written (though if it was, that would be even more impressive). I don't think I've noticed spelling/conjugation/syntax mistake, which might seem minor to most people/writers but take away from the overall enjoyment of reading a story. CON: I have would be that it would be nice if he didn't have a system. It just seems overdone lately. If he had been a regular guy who got smarter/stronger on his own while succeeding in his business that would have been nice. Still, I can understand that it's necessary for the story to progress at a fast rate, otherwise he's still be stock at the starting line. Finally, this is a problem with all WN, but the development is just so slow! I feel like the author spends a bit too long overanalysing and explaining every action the MC makes.
