This is a reposted story. There are three exactly the same stories, one in russian, one in chinese (where I guess this translation is from) and the other under the name "billions of rewards". For the record, the last two have 882 chapters. Billions of rewards is a machine translated version, which acknowledges that it is only a translation. Its grammar is only slightly worse than this, so a human had to go over the version on webnovel, but they did a horrible job. 99% of text is the same, only the routine "replace words" tool is used. It is annoying to read, two sentences completely contradicting each other. Besides that, there are a lot of unexplained chinese references, like saying 666, poorly translated proverbs and all that. Would not recommend.
the first story, where the antagonist has way more plot armor than the MC. I am really getting annoyed with this. First, you have 20 chapters just about this fight, only for it to be completely pointless and without results. This can make the reader feel like they just wasted time. I will admit, it was a fun read, but all they hype turned into disappointment as soon as it ended.
They felt pity for the monster? WHAT? Excuse me but this... Look, the monster is destroying their village, killing their friends, eating their families, annihalating their home and what do they do? They felt pity for it? WHAT. Even the kindest of people would wish death and endless suffering on it, yet they do the opposite.
Yeah, but from what I remember, he was a 22 yo, working in a zoo. This still means he got basic education. And unless you are in a country with no schooling regulations, you should still be able to learn a surprising amount. And supporting logical thinking is at least attempted. Even if it wasn't, he had a long time to come up with something. People always underestimate how much thinking you can do in a month. And even if he didn't have that much time, he should at least not sleep for so long. If he didn't hibernate for weeks on end, he would have come up with at least a decent plan, regardless of his intellect.
Not as in a scientific way, but as a magical spell. I doubt that there are no spells that can tell you the age of some things. And what better target than the building full of mysteries you are in? And I doubt carbon dating would even work. It requires carbon and stone has none. There needs to be something else to work. Science could find the answer, but it would probably take far too long to develop such technology.
I was referring to the ecosystem. If it was there for millenia, it should have devolved. I know that others don't know that sort of stuff, but he is giving them the books to learn about it. After a few years, all things would click and the lie would fall apart. And he should know that already. His lies wouldn't keep up for long. For example, what if there is a spell that tells you how old things are. Somebody learns it and scans the building. It returns, that the building is only a decade old. The one who casted the spell, would think it strange, but chalk it up to some magical seals. Then he would start looking for those seals and see that there are none. If this spread, others would be intrigued as well and start researching. Some time later, the lie would collapse and his secrets exposed. He might be strong enough at that time, but why not prepare for the future? Dunno.
I read until ~ch 20 and skimmed the rest. Romance takes way too much time and the author has some strange ideas about it. Over half the story is focused on it and the rest is the MC spending time with his family. There are a few chapters out of this formula, but all in all, it is boring and uneventful. The MC doesn't think at all and all of his 'reasons' for being strange are idiotic. His wishes are dumb and make for a bad story. Yes, he got a lot of power, but the god character imposed some superficial restrictions on them saying that they are too powerful, yet ignoring the other, far more powerful wishes. All in all the story isn't thought out. The MC has access to all power systems, yet he chooses Naruto and Harry Potter for most things. He could have just used some cultivation world power, where you can become a god after a year. This wish was far too broad and made the story pointless. I hoped that it could improve, but it didn't. Infinite possibilities bring huge plot holes and require lots of thinking to fix. And the author did none of that. I also read a few other comments and he doesn't respond to criticism well. How are you supposed to improve if you don't listen to others ideas? Don't you want to better yourself and improve? Dunno, that is just my opinion. Do whatever.
