    Its translated by endlessfantasy translations, I don't think I need to add more to this review with their reputation. Never read anything by this translation group, it's all MTL with zero editing. In 13 chapters, we know nothing about the MC or his background other than his name. Side characters are just there to exist to kill or use. Story development: There's a story? If I could give a 0 rating I would. World Background: Cultivation is a game I think but also real life. I don't know, this novel makes no sense.

    Sure seems upset for someone without emotions.

    'Are you f*****g kidding me?' he couldn't help but scream internally. He had felt like was making some progress, but he was back to step one.

    It's a fun read for a short while but after awhile, the corny jokes just get stale. The poor grammar doesn't help as well since a lot of times, it ruins the flow of the story. It's obvious with dialogue, the author attempted to create something similar to Xianxia novels but the dialogue really falls short. It's uncreative, poorly construed, and awkward. Story development and World Background is very generic to Xianxia novels so there's nothing wrong with it but there's also nothing unique either. Now, poor grammar can be fixed with sites like Grammarly. Dialogue is a bit harder but character design? All the characters are so similar, they all seem to have the same traits except for one point which the author shoves down your throats. There's nothing interesting about any characters and most of the time, the author forces a random character to do or say something stupid or out of line to for no reason. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed up till about ch. 80~ but then it just felt like a chore to read from stale jokes, to awkward dialogue, to forced drama. It started strong and died.

    Why is he caring about this now? He literally flew to the city with many people spotting him.

    If it were not for him fearing that him using his sword to fly, causing the Raging Flame Sect to find out he was the one who injured one of their elders, Xuan Hao would have used this method to catch up to the black robed man after he failed to catch up to him at the start.

    It would be awesome to be Lin 420, sucks to be Lin 666

    From Lin One to Lin Infinity, it can be considered as a mark of their arrival in this world.

    1000 gram / 60 people = 16.7g, what? Get their loyalty for 16g of beef! Sign me up. If loyalty was so easy lol....

    Soon, 1kg of beef was distributed to everyone. Even though the size of beef each of them got was only that of a beef ball, they still ate with relish as if they wanted to engrave the taste of the beef into their minds.

    Very average, the things bringing it down the most is the awkward dialogue and the poor grammar. It seems like when the authors putting their thoughts into words they sometimes miss words and it's a pretty frequent thing per chapter. It's obvious no proofreading is done, maybe later on but early chapters have way too many noticeable mistakes. A lot of sentences are too longer as they are just constantly extended with multiple commas. Character design, average. Not much to think about as they're using characters from anime but it seems like a lot of the characters are a bit 2D. Main character is a pretty boring individual with supposedly high morals, not really though as he randomly has s*x with a girl he met while reading a p*rn magazine. World building is strange, it uses the dorm from Sakurasou and I guess what the author thinks Tokyo is like based on anime. I can't speak from experience as I've never been to Tokyo so I can't judge that.

    This had potentially to be a pretty interesting novel with a unique idea. Unfortunately, it's been completely ruined by poor grammar, poor dialogue and poor everything, only thing good was the concept. First of all, this author has attempted to copy dialogue from all the chinese novels out there. They've failed badly; it's clear the author has never even had a proper conversation with a fellow human being. The grammar is awful, the interactions are just awkward and they try so hard to sound profound but the author doesn't know what they're typing so it just sounds stupid. The author has tried to make the MC talk like how an elder in let's say a cultivation novel talks, sounding profound and all except it doesn't here, it just sounds stupid because it makes no sense and it's filled with bad grammar. Even without the grammar issues, the phrases don't flow well anyways so it doesn't matter. It's obvious the author spent a bit of time looking over the first chapter and then started speedrunning through the rest without proofreading or editing.

    Too fast paced and filled with grammatical errors. Author doesn't know when to use plural or singular forms for verbs. The synopsis itself is filled with errors and is poorly written. An unoriginal novel followed by a completely ignorant and boring MC. World building sort of exists but barely. It feels more like events are made up along the way rather than occur natural. Very forced. I don't have much to write about as I barely got through about 10-15 chapters before I gave up.

    Sucks, barely any character development or world building. First few chapters you can tell right away that world building is almost non existent. Character is bland and not very interesting. Plotlines are forced and so often played out in other generic novels. 'Blessings' are barely explained, rifts are barely explained, the world is barely explained. EVERYTHING IS BARELY EXPLAINED. Emotions are dead, all characters 1D. Yes, 1D. First time, I've reviewed a novel and judged characters as 1D because I don't know what's worse than 2D. Vocabulary and general writing skills? Non-existent, it isn't grammatical incorrect but the writing is at such a low level; I struggled to keep an interest in reading this. I didn't even realize I started skimming through the chapters because of the simplistic writing until I realized I was missing some minor details. Also too many redundant words and phrases used. Author google pleonasm. It's sometimes used by authors when writing in details but this novel doesn't have details, just poorly constructed phrases. I didn't realize this was written by the same author as Infinite Mana...or else I wouldn't have touched this. Somehow the author regressed in this novel making infinite mana better. That is pretty sad. Yes, I am being harsh only because it's a clear sign that this author refuses to improve in their skills, choosing to stay at level 1 forever.

    Also the way the synopsis is written makes me think I'm about to read a children's book with narration style. Synopsis is very important on how a person perceives a novel. Too many times, I've seen synopsis' filled with grammar and spelling issues and I don't even bother with the novel especially if they already have 100s of chapters. If they state they improved in their writing skills yet they don't bother fixing the synopsis, it makes me doubt they improved.

    I usually read a good bit before I make a review but I couldn't even finish chapter 1. Reading it was like reading something an elementary student had written. There weren't any grammar or spelling mistakes but the writing quality and vocabulary was so low that it somehow hurt more than reading those novels that can barely be considered English. I've seen people compare this to vampire system, which I also dropped and it was very obvious right from the get-go. At least that one I got through a fair bit of chapters before I dropped it. First impressions are always important and when a reader sees chapter 1 and its glaring issues that to this day remains unresolved, they'll turn away. Not everyone will see your message that the novel improves later on, and even if they do, they may ignore it. Webnovels quantity over quality mindset is infectious.

    100+ chapters and we still know nothing about the MC before reincarnation. It's interesting but a lot of events are just dragged on and on and they all feel so forced. There is no real unique idea in this novel. That said it's not bad but after awhile I just started skimming through the chapters as everything is dragged on and on and on. The novel is more focused on the game and maybe has 1-2 chapters after like 60 chapters of the real world. Needs a proper balance, this ain't good. 100+ chapters and apparently in the real world barely a day has passed. If you're at 100+ chapters and only a day has passed in the real world, things are clearly being dragged on to make the novel longer. Quantity over quality.

    The more I read the lower the quality of the chapters get, this seriously needs proofreading as there are parts that have words missing or spelling or grammar mistakes. The beginning was really enjoyable, I might have jumped the gun with my review but you can tell the story started getting more and more mediocre. That is not to say it's not enjoyable but the quality has really gone down. At this point, a lot of different plotlines pop up before the main goal of the MCs and even the wine store has become a forgotten story. The author did try to bring it back but it feels really forced like they didn't have a choice but to do it. Also did the chapters get shorter? Webnovels quantity over quality has clearly infected this novel.
