    The novel showcases a protagonist with eternal life, yet all he does is lay low - for a whopping 300 chapters! Yes, 300 chapters of him hiding out. Unbelievable. Along with that, curse magic is introduced, a destructive force that's dependent on the user's lifespan, making it limitless for our immortal. Yet, bafflingly, he barely uses it without constraints. The novel has about 10% of gender pronoun errors too, making our MC a 'him' and then a 'her'. Maddening, especially for audiobook fans. But what truly grinds my gears is the complete mishandling of quotation marks. It's like they have never seen them in action before! The constant flip-flopping of pronouns and the misuse of quotation marks simply pull you out of the story, ruining the overall reading or listening experience.

    I am reading your comment to decide whether or not to read this shit, and it turns out you helped a lot. A fucking ruthless MC made into a goody-two-shoes a few chapters in. Why? I am not asking for a Reverend Insanity but chaotic evil with a level-headedness that doesn't care about anyone but themselves and their interests. That couldn't be too hard to ask for, could it? Either way, thanks for pointing out the landmine; sick of this garbage.

    The author didn't plan anything ahead, making for a super shallow plot, character and world-building. The story is about a transmigrator with an eighth-grader syndrome. He is constantly picking fights here and there with the cliche of being beaten down to by the end of the chapter standing up with OP power. Every four or three chapters, we are thrust into fights that we know he will never lose due to at least four plot armour devices, making everything he does so very dull. Do not read or approach with a 10 feet pole.

    Maybe my comment was too harsh, but I meant you copied concepts of the novels and not the whole plot. That would be ridiculous. And honestly, the other reason why I was critical of the novel's grammar was that it was mostly fine but at random a jarring times grammatical jumps in disrupting what I was engrossed in reading. A Grammarly account would probably solve this issue for you, and frankly, your writing was terrific. If you can pm me, I can share my Grammarly account with you to help out. Hmmm, honestly, talking to you made me want to give the novel another chance. And I'll do so in time, but I can't stress how essential descriptions are. I was thrown out of sorts with how fast the plot was progressing when I wanted to explore the MC's situation and environment more. Again, I realise that I might have been too harsh, but I was pretty upset as I loved the concepts of the novel but didn't enjoy the execution of it. No author is born pro, and no one can be perfect, but I hope that I came off as critical in an effort to help rather than throwing around insults.

    Honestly, the MC has an eighth-grader syndrome going on, he's "silly" and garbage of that sort despite reincarnating as a f00king ADULT; harem members are IMPLIED to be the MC's love interest but are thrown to a planet and are seen but occasionally. Oh, he does "text:" them, so that's all the "romance" you're getting here. The novel's development rocketed, and the pace was not that bad, but the emotions, world-building, the "cheat", and the like nothing gets a detailed description. I would not recommend reading.

    Pros: Early on, the author attempts to write a coherent plot with several memorable harem members. The MC has an attraction to women who are already in a relationship and explaining that he broke the hearts of many girls when they started to leave their boyfriends for him. Because once they love the MC, he no longer has any attraction to them. Now that's a useful plot device. Cons: The author sucks at writing *** scenes, and I'm honestly more inclined to read his description of how the MC does things rather than anything he has written about ***. As a reader, I felt dissatisfied, but I continued, and here comes the number one reason I dropped the novel for good. The MC SUDDENLY cures his disease, saying that he can get the same satisfaction by making men drool over his women. This means that whatever was interesting in the novel was killed. And to add to this, the author forces the MC to reconnect to a few dozen relationships he had cut off, and this makes it so every two chapters, a new harem member is being introduced. This made it so the novel becoming a Pokedex of harem members more than anything else. Conclusion: I would not recommend the novel, as honestly, if you want sexual relief, ANYTHING else would work much better. And if you're looking for a plot, then you've come to the wrong place. Cheers

    Pros: The novel plot gives the "feel good" sensation that doesn't wear off with comedy hints every now and then. The premise of the novel is that a lucky guy got reincarnated, and his system gives him funds. The funds can only be used for his company etc. Meaning he can't use the money on himself. But there's a loophole, that is, if he can finish all the funds the system gives him in X amount of time, then whatever the MC draws becomes his own. However, things rarely work for the MC's benefit, and as such, he's stuck in a cycle where he creates businesses that he wants to run to the ground, only for them to become exceedingly successful. Any money from an enterprise funded by the system can't be used either. It's a decent novel, but it has its shortcomings. Cons: The MC is too fixated on losing money and finishing X funds before the Y time period. And as always, he has to fight with his business becoming "too successful" before the Y period of time ends. This was entertaining once or twice, but repeatedly for 290 chapters. The whole shtick becomes tiresome. Another complaint is the lack of emotional attachment the MC has to anything. It's like he's following a script, a robot, really. There's no variance in the story, and it's always predictable. Conclusion: I would recommend this novel if you've some time to burn. But don't expect too much.

    His actions such as calling Shield to clean up after every fight and the like are disappointing. But again, I only read 400 chapters.

    Oh yes, a thousand people killed a year due to police brutality alone is "within" reason, according to you. America loves to pretend to be the beacon of freedom and so on, but it's just a facade; I thank my lucky stars every day that my great-grandparents migrated to Australia instead of America post WWII.

    Review from 410 Chapters: Translation and editing quality: Let's start the review by saying that this novel's translation/editing is by far the worst I have seen from non-original works. It is so much so that the translators went OUT OF THEIR WAY to use terms that are not familiar in Wuxia and Xinaxia settings, despite the novel being set similarly. For instance, Qi deviation and demonic possession are just described as "demonic illusions." And Death, Life, cultivation suppression/aura is termed as "impose" or some garbage of that sort. Confusing and wholly unnecessary. The translators/Editors are either trying to make everyone's life difficult, or they are just trying to recycle machine translated text as fast as they can. It gets worse since the grammatical errors are too numerous, and I am usually VERY forgiven when it comes to grammatical mistakes, but this takes it to another level, especially in important chapters. The novel: The plot is not very dissimilar from Hail the King, the start of the novel is refreshing, but it goes downhill 40 chapters in. With the Diablo system only getting unlocked gradually. The novel became really stale because the author started focusing on either the "grind" to make X or Y items or farm this or that. All the while neglecting to build the characters of basically anybody, the Mc included. To summarise, there's a plot but absolutely no substance. Hail the King is far superior in that aspect, but it still has it's shortcomings. Conclusion: Wizard Abe is NOT recommended.

    That's what people who don't live in America think of their police, a bunch of killers. And they wouldn't be far off Tbh. Here's a list of Police killings by country 2020: Brazil – 6,160 Venezuela – 5,287 Philippines – 3,451 India - 1,731 Syria – 1,497 United States – 1,099 Nigeria – 841 El Salvador - 609 Afghanistan – 606 Pakistan – 495 https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/police-killings-by-country

    Pros: Reincarnation, Marvel world before the Marvel shit started. And a Detective system. I honestly thought it's another cliche garbage, but this shit is well written and not dumb. There's no excessive patriotism or China #1 stuff, and the whole novel is really diverse and, for the first time, not racist. Highly recommended, but I would rather have you save up for this novel. Say start reading at 1000 chapters because it is SUPER easy to get engrossed and finish 400 chapters. The whole thing is entertaining and worth it. Cons: The MC gets too "OP" too quickly, with no imminent sense of danger. His identity is mostly "good." I honestly wished for the author to use the evil org in the Marvel world, make use of them and the like and become "Chaotic good." He also always sides with Shield, even though Shield itself has traitors and the like, which remains unexplored. Another con is that the novel's timeline is tough to follow; since we are in Marvel Alt-universe, things get a little confusing for people like me who don't have the faintest clue about what company X or Y does or when X technology comes into the mainstream. The author had some semblance of cohesion early on, but it is starting to get very loose hope he works on that. Cheers

    If there were a book that I would have to burn for warmth in case of poverty, this would be my first pick. A childish plot with an ANTI-SOCIAL MC that is made into a god. Where he always fears that breath will kill this or that. The MC seeks **nothing**, but the plot throws problems at him, and he has to deal with it while REPEATEDLY telling us how he doesn't care and how the whole thing is not worth his time or effort. I genuinely hope no one gets the displeasure of perusing this abomination.

    Terrific novel. Needs a little push so that people can see it for the gem that it really is. Highly recommend giving it a shot for mystery/detective work genre lovers.
