Review Detail of Sorata in The Magus Era

With the completion of the novel, I decided to re-read from the beginning (again). Read up to chapter 762 (previously stopped at 1136), took a break for a few hours, and then BAM! What do you know--every chapter beyond 122 became locked behind a pay wall. This seriously kills the experience for every current or future reader. Lets do the math! 1,901 Chapters total - 122 chapters free = 1,779 chapters locked. Let's round it to about 8 spirit stones per chapter. 1,779 x 8 = 14,232+ spirit stones needed fully unlock the book. ...What? (Someone calculate how much money this is.) Okay, done with the ranting. Time to talk about the book so far! The translation quality is excellent. You might encounter a few mistakes like the spelling of someone's name is wrong or a letter is misplaced, but it's not often you see it. Great job! Stability of updates? Well, it's already completed so no need to worry about that. Story development! If there was any problem with the story, it would be the beginning. In most of the reviews you will see on this book, most people stopped around the beginning chapters. Given that there are 1901 chapters, it's pretty hard to determine when the beginning of the story ends, but if you continue to read, the story becomes beautiful and amazing. The issues you encounter in the beginning will not appear during the later parts of the story. What you will see throughout the story, however, are the exaggerated distances & measurements found in other xianxia novels. The author has a grand imagination--characters facing off millions of miles away, enemies 7 meters tall, traveling billions of miles in days/months. Seriously, how big is this world? You might get annoyed by it, so just ignore it and focus on the story itself. The power system is definitely unique. The only thing is that it's not explained too clearly so I will try to summarize it. Up to what I've read, there are only a few realms compared to other xianxia power systems. The power one holds in each realm is extremely wide apart, so don't expect the MC to break through 2 realms in one go. However, it is still possible to "realm cross" with weapons & treasures. Our MC, like many other MC's, is eventually able to do that. The humankind in this story are extremely weak (bottom of the food chain). Despite the power-ups the MC gets in the beginning, and how it can say that his power upgraded by 200% or something, think of it like this: MC Current Power Level: 0.1 MC After Upgrade: 0.2 Current Enemy Power Level: 0.5+ (This issue only applies in the beginning of the story, so persevere! You can do it!) This is a story about how a human who traveled back in time after death, goes from a weak individual to a peerless being. The MC's rate of growth is exponential, so you don't have to wait TOO long until he starts trampling his enemies. The battle scenes are also amazing and great food for imagination. Some are just plain amazing. Lots of details in this book, so try not to skip chapters. Some are not relevant until hundreds of chapters later, so you might forget. As for character design and world background, they become good once you pass the beginning (I know, this is getting repetitive.) I can't express how much I love this book. Unfortunately, I have to finish it elsewhere due to the paywall. This is my first review, and I probably missed some stuff to address, so try not to bash me too hard!
