Wish fulfillment power fantasy #363615. A generic novel that appeals to the lonely and edgy anime loving teen, which I assume is 95+% of this entire site judging by the quality and types of novels that get upvoted. Seriously, one chapter in and the author is s*xually describing the MC's little sister from his own perspective, and he's talking about his little sister's body, height, and boobs. Who calls their little sister "petite"? The only way you can actually enjoy this novel is if you've yet to ever touch a girl in your life and hold immense amounts of teenage angst in your heart while desperately wishing for some magical superpower to befall you like it did the MC and make you the main character.

I tried, but I can't read this. Maybe I've eroded my tolerance with translated novels, but the author constantly uses poor, awkward, and wrong word choice EVERY PARAGRAPH. It isn't a sometime thing. 'Definitely' is wrongly replaced with 'definitively' every single time. The combat sounds like it was written in Chinese and passed through google translate and uses phrases like 'attacked my waist' and 'brandished my weapon to kill X'. Look, you don't brandish things to kill anything. Brandishing is the act of raising your weapon and displaying it threateningly. It doesn't mean, explicitly or by connotation, that you hit something with your weapon, which would be necessary to actually kill it. You got attacked in the waist? What, does the rat have a hatred of belts? In English, you get attacked in the stomach, or the side, or torso, or practically anything else unless you're geriatric and you broke a hip, which is still your HIP and not your waist.

Maybe I'm being too harsh or maybe this IS a translation, in which case it's right on par with mediocre translations everywhere, but this guy apparently has two other stories and still hasn't learned how to use the language well enough to avoid obvious malapropisms. I'm going elsewhere for my fantasy fix, possibly to a different site, because this does seem to be the standard of Scribble Hub.

Great story, but partly wrecked by the choice of name for the male MC of Jane - this is a girls name throughout the English speaking world so every time I read HIS name in a chapter I have to do a double take to realise the author is writing about the male MC.

Otherwise, other than an occasional typo or odd word choice, the writing is easy to read, flows well with a good level of description, i.e. Enough so you can picture the scene without so much it bogs down in endless descriptions,

Plot is interesting and well paced, both with the action, character development and the adult content in balance. Things happen, stuff gets done, story progresses without feeling like it is rushed but with enough slower moments to explain what is going on and allow for character development and not just lurch from one action scene to the next - but that is what I expect from Aidka, they are a good author and  know their craft.

I like Aidka's universe of immortals and laws from Fourth Prince.  Think it's an interesting way to frame celestial beings.  Having that applied to the modern dungeon setting opens interesting story possibilities.

As always, Aidka's characters and world are well described and interactive. There are some grammar word choice booboos here and there but nothing major. Plus the level of smut is well written and fits the story.

Another good tale, with some tail, from Aidka. ?

An awkward story. The character is naive and never punished for it. He's respectful to everyone EXCEPT the immortal who saved his life, changed his fate from powerless to unlimited potential and gives him 24/7 support and training. Instead treating this immortal like a burden and for some reason this almighty person never actually punishes or gets angry he just rolls over for the MC because he's renting a room in his body? -_- 

Jane (A big strong manly man with a woman's name) has little to no personality. He's dragged along through the story and only knows two things: 1) Excessive worrying and whining about his worries even when an immortal is calm saying "nah ur good with this man, stfu and do anything other than crying your fears out"

2) he SMILES WRYLY! Holy hell trust me when I tell you that for every chapter there's at MINIMUM one instance of "I smiled wryly". And that's the minimum! A recent chapter had him "smiling wryly" 3 times all within 100 words. Let me stress that he never...  NEVER has any other expressions or thoughts. He smiles wryly, and his friends smile helplessly. That's it. He never once does anything other than straight face or smiling wryly. I'm going insane.

Even though I disliked the fact that a bunch of people super overpowered with foresight powers are flocking the MC I really liked the characters, the MC is a good balance of naivety and intelligence his adaptation is cool as well. The lemons are good they mix well with the plot it's nice to see the MC's development to adult life with his experiences and the demon's help. About the NTR drama, It's already explained in the story so people that are still adamant about it are just stupid. I hope you won't drop it was a really good read.

I don't know what to say, once again I get duped by the popularity and rating of a novel.

The grammar is alright for scribblehub but theres some awkward sentences and typos.

The world is what attracted me to this novel and it seems to be alright from the little that I saw but everything else is poorly done. The whole thing reads as a b tier anime, the characters don't talk like real people, the power system doesn't seem to mean anything. Stuff just doesn't seem to follow any type of logic, I thought that maybe its just the early chapters before it gets smoothed out and the author never came back to edit, but the dialogue and the way the characters interact just took me out.

Maybe I'll give it another try when I get bored to see if it gets better later on since theres a 2-3 yr gap between the first and last chapter but for now I'll leave it at that.

Compelling setting, the world, the magic system, society's reaction to it all being introduced in a modern era.

The fight scenes are done well and using magic/skills creatively is prominent through the story, without cliches such as people forgetting their powers for the sake of making more drama.

The comedy aspects are just ok, but may seem worse if only by comparison to the above mentioned parts of the book that shine.  Early on there's a reliance on common anime gags for character interactions that thankfully faded away as the story progressed, hopefully to never return.

I don't like this story.  It's a story of our little MC running around passively and horrible things just keep happening to him.  It's boring just seeing the character, figuratively speaking, getting poked and prodded by the author just to see him dance.  Next to that, the setting is generic, think 'My Hero Academia', throw in a Cultivation-Grandpa-Soul, and you are there.  Then there is the uncanny valley English going on in the writing, it is seriously weird.  It does not feel like normal translations woes, the writing is >95% normal, except when it suddenly and jarringly makes a word choice that is both understandable yet inappropriate. Give it a go if you want, there are for sure some people who like it.  If you are not one of them, don't fret over it, there are better stories out there.
