    First 130 chapters are decent enough, but at chapter 131 it becomes machine translated garbage. Just total jibberish with names changed and extremely poor punctuation and grammar. I cannot say how much I despise the trend of a novel starting with a good translator before swapping to machine translation.

    The first 40 chapters were very good but again its another bait and switch with awful machine translations from chapter 41 onwards. Gives me a headache just trying to read the mtl chapters.

    From chapter 100 onward it switches from a decent translator to machine translation and becomes a garbage mangled mess, bit of a shame as I was quite liking it until that point. I just can't rate mtl as anything higher than 1 star, it gives me a headache to even try reading it

    First 40 chapters are done by a good translator, but chapters 41 onwards are complete garbage done by a machine translator with so many spelling and grammar errors that its give me a headache just trying to read it.

    Birmingham Palace? Have the brummies been hiding a palace I'm not aware of? I presume you meant Buckingham.

    Looks like the translator changed between chapters 40 and 41. The new translator is much poorer than the original translator, which is a shame as I was really enjoying this story. I hope the translation quality of chapters 41 onwards will improve.

    The first 390 chapters were translated very well. But it looks like the original translator stopped and then another translator took over later. The new translator has changed the names of everything (sprites seem to have become elves) as well as having appalling spelling and grammar. Honestly chapters 391 onwards reads like it is machine translated and gives me a headache. Sad really as I liked this book.

    The problem with this story is how much it repeats itself. You have the story told from the protagonists perspective for 2 chapters then the next 2 chapters are the exact same story told again but with other characters reaction added. This gets tedious pretty fast and results in a glacial plot pace.

    This story suffers from pacing issues. You think your getting to the hype part of the story and then there is a ten chapter long aside which does nothing to advance the plot and kills all the excitement you had.

    Really enjoying this novel so far. Its actually refreshing to have read a novel with such a high level of grammar. Looking forward to seeing where this story goes.

    The grammar is just appalling, even from the very first sentence. The author frequently uses full stops where there should be commas. They also use a lot of very long run on sentences, that you have to read twice to understand. The grammar is so off-putting that I can't bring myself to read any further.

    This story has such bad grammar, that it actually gave me a headache trying to read it. It also jumps all over the place and the story setup just makes no sense.
