Review Detail of PatriarchExplosion in Badge in Azure
Review detail
Novels like these are the reason qidian needs to give us a preview chapter in the voting system. So basically this seemed like a cool new cultivation/western fantasy from just reading the synopsis however after first 12 chapters I can tell you it is a rushed pile of sh*t. So we start of with some random mages being described and then straight to our protagonist who is apparently from some fallen clan, typical beggining stuff not great not too bad. And from then the story goes downhill, cultivation is handled poorly we are not showed how did he feel or do his first casting of a spell, which is told of in a one sentence. Next comes a timeskip and before even fully describing what happened author does another timeskip. After that more time is spent with stupid dialogues about rule of the jungle than basic world building. I will not describe everything but these first 12 chapters were simply unimpressive, which is weird since author should show the vision for his novel in early chapters. This story might get better but i doubt it, however the translation quality is good and as for update stablity it is too early to judge.

You know? I was very happy when the time skipping parts came. I am so tired those novels that the author stalls for 50 chapters before something actually important happens to the story. I think that he is going in the right direction as at this moment the most pressing thing is the character and world build. Though I have to agree that the transition from the first to second chapters was very poor. That the matters regarding his family are very shady, I think it is because it is going to be something very major in the future. But 15 chapters is really too early, as many things may happen in the next 1605 chapters might change your mind.
My problem with that transition is how sudden it was. We got barely any explanation about what mages study when suddenly he reads 2000 books in half a year. I think this half a year could have made a chapter or two where he explains the magic system as he learns it from books. Skipping story is something i associate with series that are releasing 500th+ chapter and we know enough about protagonist to not need everything to be mentioned. I definitely agree that his family and first chapter were foreshadowing future story. And you are right that the story may get better in the long run, I just dont feel like continuing reading this one but I may check it out based on reviews. There are just too many dissapointing chinese novels, its often like finding needle in a haystack. Btw if you are interested in mage stories my reccomendation is Throne of Magical Arcana and Sorcerers Journey. Although they are both story heavy so keep that in mind.

" There are just too many disappointing Chinese novels, its often like finding needle in a haystack. " So true! Haha. And about sorcerers Journey has a too bad of a release rate... :(

Good recommendations, I'd also add Release that Witch and The Experimental Log of The Crazy Lich, if you don't mind W.uxi.a world I'd recommend the Korean novels The Breaker, Book Eating Magician and I Reincarnated For Nothing, though the last one I'm a tad less enthusiastic about
