Review Detail of Yorbin in Guild Wars

I, like many others, dropped it at chapter 30, here's why: First of all, chapter 30 was bad enough that the author decided to rewrite it. However, I wouldn't call it an improvement since it introduced some inconsistencies. You'll know what I mean when/if you get there and read the comments. Clearly, the author wanted that chapter to be completely different but gave in to the complaints. Now, the contents of that chapter do not bother me, since I have read, far far worse (trust me). What bothers me is the cliché justification of what happened. It's something you see a lot in stories that are geared towards a certain audience. It does not work in those stories and it certainly does not work in this one, which doesn't even aim for the same audience. The author shifts the responsibility from one party to another as a sort of plot twist, but this is misguided. Actions have consequences and things like infidelity have devastating consequences, more often than not. The same thing happens in a different novel and the cheated party commits suicide (just illustrating the aforementioned devastating consequences). Aside from that, I had many minor complaints such as the cliché back and forth typical of cultivation novels, the long info-dumps and the boring crafting chapters (at some point he spends around 6 chapters crafting weapons and potions), plus, the outright massive rewards the main character gets throughout the novel, but that was not enough for me to drop it. However, that's different when the main conflict of the story gets "resolved" in such an unsatisfying and misguided way. What I did like were some comedic bits such as the main character's narcissism, how he roasts the monsters, the way his relationship with his generals changed from one timeline to another and how they end up joining the monster roast sessions. That was pretty funny, but unfortunately, not enough to keep me going. The author says it gets better but I highly doubt that, considering my major gripe with how the conflict was resolved. Still, I wish the author good luck with this and the next projects and that he continues to improve his skills.
