Review Detail of Cloud999 in Pocket Hunting Dimension
Review detail
I don’t know why this novel has such a high rating, it’s god awful. Zero character development, zero plot, zero world building. All there is to this story (if u can even call it that) is power leveling and ass kissing. Every chapter there’s “He’s so handsome”, “How can he be that powerful?”, “I wanna have his baby!”. Clearly written for 8 year olds or ppl with low IQ who can’t follow a real storyline. I get that it’s a satire making fun of stereotypical Chinese webnovels, but in the process it becomes one that’s even worse. The attempt at comedy is forced and repetitive, and it becomes not funny if that’s all there is to his novel.

I do not really agree. there is a plot: the choice of a university. there is a construction of the world: space under the supervision of more powerful ... it's not original, but there are ... Be careful, I don't say either that the novel is good or that I recommend it (this is not the case anyway). but this criticism seems to me exaggerated on these two points. otherwise, I agree with the development of character and the absurd idealization of the hero.
You consider “choice of university” a plot? That’s like saying “what should I eat today” is sufficient enough for an actual storyline. I also don’t consider “space under supervision of more powerful whatever” to be actual world building. That’s like stating that Donald Trump is the president of the USA. It doesn’t give any real insight into what the world is like. I stand by my statement: This novel is too shallow for a real storyline and world building.

then if you want a more global description of the world. it seems to me that at that time (chapter 40), we already know that humanity has reached the space age. that it is protected by a higher civilization. that she is hostile to a number of other races. and all that is not world building? for the stud, I grant you that it is rather light ... but is it not often the case? in all the beginnings of apocalyptic stories, the scenario is "to survive" ... in all early reincarnation stories, it’s ("how will he get revenge") the number of secondary intrigues increases with the passage of time ... on the other hand, it is true that at the time of reading, some should have appeared more clearly ... the only one that I can see in chapter 40 is ... harem?

Nope, that is not world building, not even close. It’s merely a single paragraph of info dump. If you read something like Lord of the Mysteries or Supreme Magus, you’ll see what real world building is like. At first you don’t know much of the world, but as the story progresses, it gradually reveals the complexities of the world and gives you a sense of what it’s like to live there. From the different countries with its own culture, style, customs, and agendas, to the different kinds of beings and different systems of magic, religion, and factions, to learning about the history of that world and its relevance to the overall storyline, that is world building. Good world building is like moving to a foreign country and experiencing life there. None of that is even remotely present in this trash novel.

thank you for this wonderful response that I absolutely cannot deny! myself, I place great importance on the coherence of the constructed worlds ... (I have not read LoM, and it does not interest me; on the other hand, I have read SP, although I stopped recently because I found that it was losing interest ...) but you point it out yourself ... at first we don't know much about the world, then it develops ... moreover, my argument was different from the start, I'm not saying that there is a great construction of the world, of good quality and original ... I'm just saying it exists ... and what I read of this story does not contradict the fact that the story progresses as you described it ... different countries with different races should have their own cultures (we guess several: the elf race, probably peaceful, a hegemonic insectoid race) I will now quote you: "I stand by my statement: This novel is too shallow for a real storyline and world building." yes, this novel is superficial ... but we are at the beginning ... after I agree that if a novel has not given an interest in reading beyond the pay-wall, then ... and anyway, I really liked your last message which gives an interesting definition of "world building" for my part, i define it differently: "It is the fact, for an author, to define rules for his novel, and to stick to it; to remain globally coherent: no new rules should violate the pre-existing ones" probably our initial disagreement comes from a difference in definition of the terms mentioned ...

that's pretty much what he said tho it's just 'how' that actually matters. what they described was good world building what ur giving is the actual definition. because info dumps obviously point out that the author is just bad or lazy and looking for easy money
