    I have to admit... I misread it as "pubic images" at first

    "T-thank you! You save me not once, but twice! I am so sorry for attacking you tentacle monster! I am in your debt!" She quickly bows down onto her knees and folds her palms together in a prayers stance. Well, that was fast, I thought gaining her trust was going to be harder.

    I see... so I must go online shopping and find a sword...

    A sword is not just a man's weapon, it is a man's ambition, and without ambition, a man is merely a coward.

    debatable

    In order to be a hero or a villain a man must have ambition. The difference between the two is where that ambition lies.

    let's see... two of them are probably gonna be women competing for his love, the third will be an arrogant dude who tried to steal his secrets, is impersonating him, and is now dragging the clan through the mud, so he must be removed.

    Ling Han shook his head, and said, "At this moment, I have no intention to take on any disciples." In truth, Zhu He Xin’s talent in the field of alchemy, in his opinion, could only be considered ordinary. In the past, he had taken on three disciples, and all three of them were exceptionally talented.

    Yooooo. this translator should get a bonus

    [1] ED/N: It’s unclear whether the Yellow grade alchemist guy is surnamed Zhu or Ma. Sometimes raws say Zhu 朱, sometimes they say Ma 马, and yet they clearly refer to the same person… Ma appears more often, especially in the previous chapter (fifty-fifty in this one) and was first, plus while this Zhu is different than the higher-ranked alchemist’s surname, it has exactly the same pronunciation, including the tone, hence it is possible that author confused their surnames and even then made a typo or something.

    "Ao-!" Even if his cultivation was at the fourth layer of Body Refining Tier, it didn’t matter—he would still be unable to have the ability "iron balls", and this kick had hit its target solidly. Zhang Yuan suddenly dropped down onto his knees, both hands gripping his crotch as large droplets of cold sweat appeared on his face.

    Currently I have read to chapter 65. The story suffers from info dumps, the main character (not to be confused with the Author, or the protagonist, Kevin) is passive, and the meta analysis is not well implimented. Writing quality could be better. The intricate character descriptions are repeated unnecessarily. Fight scenes need some work. One spelling/grammar mistake per chapter. Story development is not very good, slow because of info dumps. Character design so far is good. The characters are clearly meant to be different from each other, they have complex backgrounds and story arc frameworks, however, it isn't always shown in their dialogue and character interactions, especially when the MC isn't engaged in the conversation. The strongest point of this novel is the thorough world building, as evidence from the lengthy info dumps. My most critical complaint is about the main character (MC). He seems to have an INFP personality type. He is passive and indecisive. When given a mission where he needs to assassinate an evildoer, he will hesitate and struggle with his values. When he knows an event where many of his fellow students and future pillars of humanity will be massacred in their sleep, he makes plans to watch from the sideline with a bowl of popcorn. The reasoning behind this decision is illogical. He wants to have as much control of the plot as possible, yet his mere existence is causing a butterfly effect which he has already acknowledged. He makes his decisions with regard to himself and not others. Indeed, he has no one to care about since even after 65 chapters we haven't met his family and he hasn't made any friends. Lastly, the purpose of the premise of this book is to vivissect writing and storytelling aspects while serving as entertainment. Omniscient Reader handles it far more maturely, the trick being that the main character thinks less, does more, and thus the readers infer that there is a vast well of knowledge in his brain. He overcomes a challenge with this knowledge and reaps rewards from a hidden task no one thought was possible, pushing the story. The MC in this book explains his vast knowledge via info dumps at irrelevant times, then proceeds to get bad grades in school because his knowledge doesn't actually work. Also he got one cheat skill with that knowledge, then he has to grind in order to be barely ready for the next event. It feels like he is lagging behind the story. It is unfortunate that the MC analyzes his situation with all that knowledge, then preserves the status quo... well... everyone else's status quo except himself.

    Stop. Just say their names. Stunningly beautiful is not specific at all. Frankly, I don't even remember characters by their appearances, otherwise I would read manga and not books

    It's mostly because the MC's motives are all over the place, all of it passive. He is lawful neutral. He doesn't like killing, but he also won't save anyone's lives, both of which are for his own benefits, the killing for his grade, and managing the plot because he doesn't wanna lose his knowledge of the future. He's not going anything for the greater good at this point, just his selfish lukewarm values.

    Just the thought of me killing again was causing my hands to tremble uncontrollably. I was not ready mentally to go through such an experience again...

    "psy" is the root word meaning "mind" so it also makes sense. it is kind of a play on the word psion, "ion" meaning "light". I don't mind the change, since we can also use psion for the scientific phenomenon and psyon for the magical equivalent.

    "Mana is nothing but a bundle of elements, fire, water, earth, wind, light, darkness, and so on...Mana is essentially a package that contained all of the elements, and those said elements are what we now refer to as psyons."

    Awkwardly smiling, I lightly waved in Amanda's direction. I was hoping she would take then hint and leave me alone, but it seemed that my action only further increased the intensity of her stare.
