Review Detail of Mathro in Sacrifice: Time of Mine
Review detail
It has a very interesting and cool concept and plot, but…. Most of the important things aside from the plot are poorly explained/difficult to understand. Any term that is key and repeats very often is included in that. The novel starts with mentions of ‘elesk’s and ‘elesp’s which weren’t very clearly explained if they ever were. I only saw that elesk was short for elemental skill, could probably just use skill insead or don’t shorten it at the start. The Power system I’m not a fan of. Eeh = E Dih = D Cee = C Bih = B Ey = A Es = S The rule as to how they are spelt either isn’t consistent or the accent referenced to spell them wasn’t the most widely spread. When it hasn’t been listed but you have three ranks that begin with ‘E’ it makes it very confusing. It is mentioned that it is alphabetic, however I shouldn’t have to say what you have written out loud a few times in order to understand what it means. I do like that it isn’t just done E -> S but not how the author did it. Yeah…. makes me think that the author has E as their favourite letter or something. You then have 5 things that are repeated that all start with E and aren’t explained well. Not to mention the new existence of a rank ‘Eybi’ ??? Where’s the comparison for that? How people get stronger or improve hasn’t been explained well either. The only thing I remember is that people grow into a level based on their bloodline? Nothing else was really mentioned, nor was the mc actually shown asking how to improve. The MC didn’t really ask about anything regarding strength. He just started doing physical training and then technique later on. When the MC is shown to have an element via the assessment but doesn’t do the Body Strengthening that it seems everyone with an element can do it seems stupid.

There’s a comment on chapter 147 that explains the power system better. Around that point or a bit further on the key points are explained better and clearer which was nice. Still don’t like the Es. Instinctually it is read as meaning more than one E, or Eeees. And then you have Eses or SS which instinctually is read as S’s (more than one S).
JhiThan_Ser:To try and save my butt a little, I think you missed some key points but I guess that's the author's fault for not being clear and consistent. Furthermore, the reason why the ranking is that way is that there are some Elementalists with two or more elements. Each element is ranked differently and combining them with syllables instead of just letters would create a new unique word, instead of compiled letters if it's the latter. I believed it was explained somewhere in the early chapters so I wouldn't explain it further. Overall, thank you for leaving constructive and helpful criticism. :)
