I was a bit disappointed by this one. The components for a good story were there, but the power dynamics system really let me down. It's stated that 80% of Ability Users awaken strength, 15% awaken speed, and 5% awaken some other random ability ranging from maths genius to ice control. Our main character awakens speed, which is basically a hard check to non-defense types since nobody can keep up with them without special tactics. In theory, 80% of ability users are worthless, which is already kind of lame. Speed users are also unkillable unless trapped or chased down by another Speed-type. Basically, the distribution is all messed up. 15% of users are OP and 5% are moderately OP with everyone else being worthless in theory. I think more variety would have been more enjoyable. That's not the only issue. The other issue is that the author doesn't even adhere to the power system they introduced at the beginning of the story. For some reason when the main character is fighting non-speed types, they are able to keep up with his movements. Now keep in mind, our main character is moving faster than the speed of sound at the point I've reached. It is also explicitly stated that you need special equipment to resist the force generated by sonic booms when moving at these speeds, yet not only are these random non-speed type people moving their bodies at speeds that can threaten the main character in fights, they are doing it without the equipment! If they can really move at that speed, then they would basically have speed-type abilities by default just by cultivating, and you would see every ability user flashing around at the speed of sound, and strength type users would not technically be hard countered by speed users when they are higher ranks. This basically invalidates having strength or speed type abilities so it is also lame. At the end of the day, it's just a big plot hole. Now I suppose it would be fine if I were given some sort of explanation, but I never was, and I was becoming growingly frustrated with the flimsy rules and design of this power system. The other elements of the story were alright, but I was mainly invested in the power system and ultimately had to drop because of the inconsistencies.
