You wont even get to the point it gets better because the premium chapters kick in beforehand.

In the first 35 ish chapters the characters act and talk somewhat normally then suddenly they talk and behave worse then in a chinese cultivation novel. MC can fight a whole wolve pack slightly in a lower realm then him with barerly any experience but cant solo a monster slightly in a higher one. Girls walk over a hundred kms into a mountain range with beasts yet they are too scared to fight off the ape they encounter. Girls are chased by bandits and the first thing they do is start a fire in the night. The list goes on, i only red 50 chapters but every chapter broke my suspension of disbelieve more then the last one.

Kicking rocks to make them fly faster sounds absolutely stupid not to mention "almost" coating rocks with lightning

Why does the 16 year old boy talk like a edgy zoomer that watched too much anime

So he can fight 8 wolves, multiple in the arcane stage 1 with less experience but can only defeat a arcane stage 2 beast solo? Makes no sense.

Why is it written that the mountain is hundreds of km long when that is impossible and how can the kids get that far into the mountain range without encountering hostile beasts or humans

Unless the difference between the second and third realm is massive it doesnt make sense that the bandits would lose. Grey has no combat experience and is alone.
