This book is really promising novel utterly distroyed by lackluster main character. (dropped after 100ch) It has imaginative world that spans entire galaxy, some combination of Eastern cultivation and western fantasy magic system. This mix seems to have some potential, but in the end it doesn't matter. The spell system and history of the world are never explained in full instead world building is overshadowed by the Mc and other characters that share the same flaws. The characters are incredibly dull. They have no agency and feel like a puppets. While it is stated by Mc that his ambition in to obtain revenge and power he doesn't do much to obtain those goals, instead they are given to him on a silver plate. He has a lower B rank potential, but no need to work around that, have some ultimate cultivation technique. You have lost an arm, you'd expect that it will be an costly issue Mc will have to pay out his meager contribution points in academy for a healing spell. Again, no actually it is barely an inconvenience. You recklessly involved yourself and your friend in battle with thugs that outnumber you, no problemo there is a Knight Squad established literally couple lines later to save both of you from cruel fate. Your savior turns out to be a monster ready to suck out your life force, (out of nowhere without warning or build-up by the way) , easy just tap into your bloodline you have no idea how to do so without a potion but really that must be just fighting for your life. You didn't do that before did you? There is many more moments like that, like knocking out enemy combatants in a batte for survival with a sharp sword? How? Not specified? Why? Cause I feel a faint connection to people that want to kill me obviously. The lack of logic behind characters actions is what kills the experience for me. Overall my critique is, things just happen to Mc, and he just reacts. It doesn't help that his reactions are simply dumb and everything just works out. Overall a frustrating read and wasted potential.
