...if the highest known talent is an A, how do you know it goes up to SSS? Come on teacher lady, at least explain your sources for inexplicable knowledge!

The insistence in poorly westernizing names is pretty annoying, admittedly. At least you usually don't get four different translations referring to the same character, though.

Don't you know? Most trial reads use Google Translate. You can tell, because if you go to the chinese version and use Google Translate, you get the same quality.

The description you're looking for is "blatant plagiarism". Qidian is not shy about it, they literally steal novels and change just enough to be legal all the time.

I'm far more inclined to believe that this is actually a Faloo novel, and so Webnovel is butchering the original plot like it usually does by plopping in random mechanics that never get used to "differentiate" it enough to not get sued. That seems to be the most common reason for nonsensical power scaling in trial reads these days.

I mean, that would be the logical reason, if we had seen any indication whatsoever that nonhuman polities existed and were also somehow offended by being called "people". It's not like the word is somehow exclusionary like calling general morality/sapience "humanity" as we do sometimes.

Do we have any idea what the raw is for this one? Because it's quite clearly a totally different story(or possibly two or three) which the editor has randomly smashed into unrecognizable trash with the consistency of diarrhea. I'm quite interested in finding out just how terrible this editor is at this by reading the free chapters of the raw, even if it's faloo.

Also actually, he's not actually powerful yet. For some ungodly reason, the author decided to bill this as a "max level character" and then totally decoupled level from all forms of power so it would still make sense. Instead people gain stats exclusively from gear and achievements or something. It's extremely dumb.

No, legit the second chapter said it was explicitly vr, it just showed people playing it on pc immediately after that. I'm assuming it wasn't in the raws, and that's just what webnovel decided to change from a faloo novel or something, because otherwise this makes zero sense as a novel.

That's the fanfic part, of course.

So clearly, this author is taking heavy notes from King's Avatar. Considering Webnovel gets most of its new novels by butchering popular faloo releases these days, I wouldn't be surprised to learn the original author didn't even have it as a vr game or something, since people can apparently watch the "screen" somehow.

Protip, he isn't going to be more intelligent about them in the future either. The translator arbitrarily added the soldiers in to cover the changes he's made elswhere(large ones, like the MC used to be an aoe spamming mage), so don't expect them to get much screentime.

It's actually relatively good, as trial reads go. Be warned however: large portions of this novel will be nonsensical or unsuited to other parts of the novel. Examples include the nonsense that is his only attack skill, the fact that literally nothing he does costs any resource, his obsession with equipment over skills, the general lack of sense with stats, and the entire setup surrounding those stupid "death soldiers". This is not the author's fault, but rather the fault of the transcriber, who has changed major portions of this story and added random stuff in to pad out the differences in order to avoid copyright infringement while copy pasting almost literally everything else without regard to whether it makes sense to leave it that way. In the original story the MC actually does have an SSS talent which removes resource costs, is a mage who can fuse skills together, and doesn't even posess a system at all much less a horde of soldiers to murder his enemies for him. A lot of scenes will make much more sense if you keep in mind that the original author didn't have him as an invincible tank with an army.

I really can't enjoy this. It's entirely too much forced idiocy just for the flimsy face slap at the end. Seriously, "oh noes, the summoner is winning with his summons, the basic core feature of his class! What a wimpy trickster!" It even mentions in the chapter the flaw in this logic, but literally everyone else doesn't even think about it before randomly trashing on the MC. Probably gonna drop this if it stays this shallow and empty.

Why do you keep using the term "being" when "people" or "person" would be much more natural? It's terribly immersion breaking.

If it's that bad, why is your rating 3.5 stars?

Why would he put all his points into alchemy when Cultivation Talent is a stat that he could max instead? Especially right after he admitted he doesn't know how to get more. 100 cultivation talent and 90 alchemy just seems like it can't be worse than the reverse.

This particular complaint isn't about the MC, it's about the ridiculousness of such a self-righteous stance from a country that feeds death row prisoners to a box. The MC is actually fairly down to earth about all this stuff. Side note, having read quite a bit of this after my comment, I can say that the author is in fact definitely NOT that bad at worldbuilding, but I still think not!china's decision on how to deal with these nightmares is incredibly dumb.

Hate to break it to you translator, but pyramids are, by definition, not conical.

I'm just going to ignore the first half of this chapter. It's baseless self aggrandizing nonsense from the MC bragging about his "writing". He must have been a pretty serious history buff to be able to accurately describe topography from three thousand plus year old archeological sites half way around the world though.
