/ Games / Card Apprentice Daily Log
Synopsis
Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life.
The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects.
Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures.
Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction.
Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons.
A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles.
While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities.
This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion.
Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival.
Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices.
Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world.

The premis is great but there is too much unnecessary information. Almost a thousand chapters but the story hasn’t even broken two weeks. The chapters are short and honestly most of the time you’re going to get anywhere. The story has great potential and I’m going to continue reading, but yeah.
Story is way too rushed. It has potential but it is ruined by the fast pacing. Everything is happening neck to neck with no break in between. As such, there are many plot holes left.
The story setting is really fun but it's a typical novel of this type. The MC doesn't have to put in any effort to learn to create cards, just automatically being able to 'tell' the best way to make them. And, of course, recipe's come just as naturally to him as breathing. No build-up or effort means no satisfaction from the result, which means you might as well remove the crafting part of the setting and just make it action. Character's don't act like people, and they don't interact like people. Conversations are stilted and unnatural with a lot of author self-inserts that cause the conversations to jump from one point to another. The way they communicate is really hard to stomach. It gives me second-hand embarrassment. It just makes it impossible to be engaged with the story. It's unfortunate. I love crafting stories. But this isn't a crafting story. If the author reads this, this would be a good story if you made the crafting something the MC worked towards consistently over the story's timeline and you improved the way characters interact and communicate. Those are the two points that are really dragging the story down.
the only bad thing about this novel is when a character by the name of "Anna" appears in the story: a hoe over 80 years old with a high card level (aka higher cultivation level) who was sleeping with thousands of people over the years and taking the MC hostage for more than 300 chapters because she liked him.
Fillers! Fillers! Fillers! to the point of madness. I sort of like this book but also really hate this book. Never seen a story being so blatantly stretched out (maybe there are more out there but I never stuck around long enough to experience it) But I do like the book and it has potential but it could really do without the word salad to meet word count
This book name should be how to become omnipresent within a month. It's been crossed 1400 chapters but he didn't cross a month in the novel after his transgression.
the cover is awesome lol....................................................................................................................
I like the concept of the story, but it’s become difficult to read. - Punctuation and grammatical errors are common, and the writing style overall can sometimes be confusing. - The story gradually becomes so convoluted with various conspiracies that it takes away from them individually. Also, the MC monologues internally about society too often and for too long; it gets boring and repetitive fast. - This is just a personal preference thing, but too many of the characters are terrible people. I’m convinced at this point that 80% of the people in the city are just sociopaths. Too often, their reasoning for treating others like metaphorical and literal punching bags is just because they can.
30 out of 70 is MC's Progress. 70 is explain here explain there info here info there, even side characters will explain everything about him/her even it is not needed. Do you know the feeling of eating food but its hard to swallow? like eating rock 😐 We appreciate that you want to give us good to reading story but sometimes so many BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH isnt good thing.. it gets booring.
The mc turned evil too quick. It said humanoid not only humans so ogres goblins and other card summons could have worked.
The story is too much slow paced. Thing that should take on 3-4 chapters, author stretch them unnecessary to 15-20 chapters. Too much unnecessary information. Unnecessary stretching of information only makes reader frustrated.
I like the novel, but at the same time get really annoyed by it. The writing style consists of repeating itself and going in circles which causes very little progress is made in a lot of chapters. The MC is arrogant petty and once showed his superiority by basically argueing with a 5-year old by being more childish. Overall: I like the powersystem and the world but the writing and characters not.
So far I have read up to chapter 1000, and I can say this novel a decent read. Pro: lot's of chapters, plenty of different characters, logical story line and interesting plots. Author goes into plenty of detail which can be a bit tedious but gives good background etc. The medical surgery scene was pretty interesting. Best part (imo) is he doesn't have an overly OP cheat ability, just a slight advantage + his prior knowledge. Cons: author will spend an entire chapter just in the thoughts of the MC, all the important characters surrounding him are women chasing after him, moderately dense MC that doesn't act his age or really reflect his background prior to migration. Author starts to get political at some points even writing a whole paragraph about how terrible the Republicans are and how corrupt the Democrats are. MC has background in Engineering yet the author clearly has no background in technology. Author needs to learn how to use commas and possessive grammar rules. Overall, it's probably not the best thing on Webnovel, but definitely a good read for while you wait for other stuff to update.

I can’ believe it hasn’t been even two weeks on novel timeline even though the novel is past 1000 chapters. And it is still the first arc. Writing quality is good but lack of timeline progression really bothers me.

Recommend: Reading. Not really sure about stability of updates, so I just put it at three. Writing quality, story development, and world background seem decent so fours across the board. Character design is three because there are characters I like, even if it's characters I like because I like to hate them, and also characters that I should like or hate but I just... kind of feel bleh about. Unfortunately, the MC is one of those characters that I feel kind of... meh... about at times when I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to just like the MC as a general rule of thumb. It's possible though, that this is just not my type of MC and others will like him. I do have a positive opinion of the story overall though, and I like most of it; even some aspects of the things I don't quite like overall, such as the MC... I don't hate him outright. This is why I would recommend giving this story a read. I don't think you'll come away from reading this with a feeling of having wasted your time. It's above average quality, in my opinion.
I like the novel but the chapters are so short that almost of them are fillers! I'm choking on fillers! I'm slowly losing interest and my enthusiasm on this novel is waning.
after reading quite a few reincarnation novels, this one is quite refreshing. unlike the classic OP MC with a cheat item or ability, our MC wyatt have indeed a better than normal understanding of card creating, and inherit a deviation of a OP card (but still dormant), however the story still starts with a progressing slope which he have to overcome and its just refreshing. especially was nice to he his first attempt only gave a E card and not some crazy sss+. the side characters are also well descriped, and will be interesting to see the future of susan the world feels alive, but, i hope "screw-all" attitude there sometimes come up, slowly will fade. Wyatt seems more rational and logic than stoop down on kids level :) i cant wait to follow this novel in the future, with hope of continued awesomeness. easy a favorite so far
