Well this novel is fine in mine opinion not too good because of pacing. But good point is that mc is ruthless when he needs to be and is smart. You will see fights later on in story maybe after chp 100 or so. So anyone who has patience read it. It is good

As a passionate enthusiast of the anti-hero genre, I had high expectations for this story. Initially, I patiently allowed the narrative to unfold gradually over more than 50 chapters before reaching the exciting parts. While there were minor concerns regarding the quality of the translation, I became engrossed in the story for several hundred chapters. Despite hearing others describe it as a comedy, I personally failed to find any humor throughout the entire story. Instead, it primarily revolves around action, with a few early attempts at comedy that didn't quite hit the mark. The story revolves around a man who mysteriously finds himself in a different body and world due to time and space travel. However, the author doesn't delve into a comprehensive backstory or explanation, leaving the reader somewhat disconnected from the significance of this event. On the positive side, the story can be highly entertaining at times. It features numerous battles, incorporating elements of magic, strategic thinking, and hand-to-hand combat. The main character exhibits a cold and ruthless demeanor throughout most of the story, with his personality gradually evolving as his responsibilities change. Although I personally found the significant shift in his character somewhat jarring, I appreciated the author's attempt to develop him over the course of the story. Additionally, there are plenty of mysterious powers introduced, keeping readers eagerly anticipating their revelations during the first half of the story. However, the side characters in the story mostly remain two-dimensional. The author fails to invest time in fleshing them out beyond the main character, leaving them lacking depth and complexity. Another drawback lies in the depiction of the originally useless System, which gradually gains power throughout the story. This development undermines the impression of the main character's intelligence, as he often relies on the System to think for him. The repetitive pattern emerges when he asks the System to repeat itself in simpler terms, frequently ignoring its advice or attacking it out of frustration, despite the System consistently being proven correct. The translation quality of the story presents several issues. While the beginning was tolerable, the latter half is plagued by broken sentence structures that require careful consideration to comprehend. Furthermore, the translator occasionally presents confusing phrases such as "shallow yet deep" to describe a cut, which becomes a recurring occurrence in later chapters. It is plausible that the latter half of the story underwent machine translation with subsequent editing by a non-English speaker. The story's geography becomes confusing as distances and travel times fluctuate inconsistently throughout the narrative. Travel durations vary greatly, sometimes taking days to cover vast distances at high speeds, while other times it takes hours to reach the same locations. At times, foot soldiers seem to possess teleportation abilities, adding further confusion. Despite mentioning the directions of countries, the actual shape and layout of the continent remain vague, hindering readers' understanding of the world's geography. The number of enemies the main character kills rapidly escalates in the latter half of the story. Thousands perish within seconds, yet their deaths seemingly have no impact on the enemy's forces. Regardless of the thousands slain, countless more enemies emerge, creating an endless horde. These foes possess special powers that require growth and specific training, but their limitless supply defies all logic. Apart from the enemy country, all other nations portrayed in the story are depicted as powerless and solely concerned with preventing their neighbors from growing stronger than them. The enemy relentlessly invades these nations, with only the main character capable of standing against them. One of the most glaring issues in this story is the inconsistent naming of characters. This extends beyond occasional confusion or name changes that can arise due to different translators or editors. The problem is severe, with names frequently changing within chapters, often replaced by the wrong character's name. Readers may find themselves bewildered by the sudden reappearance of certain characters, only to realize it's a different character entirely, as the translator or editor failed to notice or address the issue. Despite repeated notifications and months passing, no effort has been made to rectify these errors. Overall, despite its flaws, I do recommend this story. I personally found it enjoyable enough to warrant reading despite the issues mentioned.

I came here to read some well cooked magic but. . . it's sh*t. I couldnt even go past 50 chaps due to forced jokes and 8th grade symptom. I read some reviews below but they were giving review in n/a chapters so anyone who gives it a try, (save your braincells. ) still best of luck.

Well, first of all, the ending?? chefs kiss, it feels kinda sad but hey, it's good and I don't really mind it being that way. The system? a lot of people didn't like it, and although i am not really a huge fan i think it really adds up to the story, being the cheeky b*st*rd that it is and all. And well the characters and story?? characters? 10/10 , i have cero complaints but the story could be better, it has some issues of it being inconsistent but not a lot, the biggest issue i find with it is that sometimes ir just does things out of nowhere, like "oh yeah, i got a power up yesterday" and doesn't mention it before, it just feels cheep, and although that thing doesn't really happen a lot there are some other stuff that do and it just feels wrong. Honestly, i give this novel an 8. 5 out of 10 it's a really good read, but it has some problems of pacing and argumentative ones, also the translation is kinda rough at some places, but if you can stomach that? def read it

This is a novel for those who want a main character that isn’t delayed with romance or harem. There’s no wasting time saving female leads and doing ridiculous things to get their attention. The plot is well written

honestly one of my favorite books I've read so far. I honestly really liked the ending as well for the story idk it just kind of seemed fitting. The whole book felt a lot more realistic and the ending left some questions unanswered just like reality I guess?
