Review Detail of Exodian in Omniscient Reader

The good news? This translation is actually of a decent quality. It was clearly done by humans able in both languages. There are quite a lot of mistakes still, but they are mostly not impacting the reading by making you guess what was actually in there originally. Compared, for example, to all translations from Chinese that I ever seen (all of them - edited machine translations, made by unenthusiastic people), this is already remarkable. Bad news? The setting lacks anything new, it is merely a slight reshuffle of some extremely popular ideas. The plot is extremely primitive. Unlike other characters, which are relatively well done, MC isn't easy to see as an actual human, he is more of a plot device with Path to Victory. Which... makes no sense. He has no such abilities, only a limited knowledge of future events in a world where his decisions made no impact. Yet, he doesn't even ever stop to plan, but gets everything perfect. As if nothing unexpected can ever happen. It reads like a walkthrough more than anything. Really, it makes absolutely no sense - the guy is acting like there is a ready script before his eyes at all times, despite intentionally severely violating the original timeline. And there are absolutely no significant butterfly effects despite his actions. Moreover, while on the surface level the characters are done very well, they don't act like like real people who are capable of reacting to new circumstances. They feel more like bots, forever stuck in some prescripted mindset. Again, on the surface level it seems like they somewhat change, but it all falls apart if you stop to analyze the scenes. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it takes a turn to the better in future, after all, I only finished about 45 chapters. But 45 chapters actually contain quite a few lengthy episodes already. With them all tightly adhering to what I described, my hope of seeing an improvement gradually faded.
