/ Fantasy / I Can Copy Curses
Synopsis
WPC APRIL WINNER 2024
Orion had worked hard his whole life, but success always eluded him.
He couldn’t cross the threshold that required him to and got plunged into the abyss of despair because of it. However, life gave everyone a second chance. Orion also got one, and he put his soul and sweat on it, but he still failed to grasp that chance.
As a result, he died.
But when he thought it was all over for him, he found himself reincarnated in the world of fantasy, where every individual boasted super talents and devastating curses on themselves.
He also had a talent, but he didn’t know what to make of it as his talent was “Copy Curse.”
He could only copy other people’s curses.
“Why? Why, god, why? Why do you have to reincarnate me and give me this shitty talent?”
As if God had heard his plea, something appeared in his field of vision.
[Congratulation to the host for awakening the system.]
[Talent: Copy Curse — Host can copy other people’s curses.]
[Curse: Null Body — Host’s body can’t feel mana because of this body.]
“What the hell! My talent is already shit, but this freaking curse has to make things worse for me.”
However, what Orion didn’t know was that, with the crazy combination of his talent and curse, he had the ability to become the strongest being in the three domains.

Honest reviews are here.. [Spoiler Alert] In this story, MC is transmigrated into the new world.. And he is not the only one who transmigrated.. There are a lot of other people who come to this new world.. Right now, this novel only has 93 chapters, and the story is not mature yet.. I mean, the MC is still weak and still growing and has a ton of weakness.. His background story is sad too.. He been abandoned by his family.. Transmigrated as a slave right away.. Lose his teammate trust from the very beginning.. Got curse talent, which is not that helpful from the beginning.. Can't use mana in a magical world where ability, talent, skill, and monster exist.. For now, MC is focusing on his agility.. I also hate the ways he is being treated among his teammates as if he is a trash and EVERYONE look down on him.. There is one time where he is suspected to kill his own friend in front of everyone (his teammate) and nobody trust him.. So, he just ran away.. Then I stop reading.. It is quite frustrating reading this novel.. MC talent is quite weak (for now), but seeing the synopsis, it is going to be OP later, but not right now.. Sorry, but it really not my cup of tea.. So, gudluck to the author..
The author ShinGotLost will make you lost too with his first novel. Jokes aside, it's an admirable attempt at a first novel. However, too often I struggled to follow the story’s logic. The story also feels under-planned resulting in pacing issues. The story’s beginning attempts to give the readers whiplash with its multiple setting shifts. Characters feel flat. Interactions and dialog could use more consideration. As for the technical execution of the writing (grammar) — Proofreading software seems to have been applied properly and the flow of words is decent. But, there is some awkward phrasing. Overall it's decent enough. The release schedule is heroic — a testament to the author's resolve to tell an epic tale. The very existence of this lengthy review is another sign that the author has potential. From here onward the more specific and rambly critique will require some spoilers, but I will endeavor to keep to generalizations: The beginning has readers flung all over the place. Before we can grasp the major revelations five more appear to make it feel irrelevant. Consider carefully, Is it necessary to use all these shiny plot points together? Taking them out slowly allows for time to make them brilliant. Perhaps, hold the rest in reserve and gradually release them. A hundred chapters in, major limitations appear from nowhere that should have been hinted at better earlier in the story. Immediately after, those same limitations felt irrelevant because they arrived too late. There’s a plethora of side characters with the potential to break the balance of the world. Yet they also seem irrelevant because we don’t focus on them much and the MC’s aspects already obliterated the balance of the world from the start. The MC’s one real weakness was his lack of knowledge but this handicap was auto-removed by simply being given the knowledge when he breaks a bottleneck. We have no indication the other transmigrators have any knowledge. Why is the MC so special? Also, did the MC need a divine-like fate on top of it all? (Yeah I know the chicken or the egg prophecy fate argument supports this but it's cringy.) Character motivations, plot points, and the setting need a more detailed explanation. The readers expect the characters to pursue rewards and strength. However, the MC often ignores opportunities for extremely weak or unexplained reasons. For example, the MC abandons several opportunities because he can’t think of a way to do it without seeming awkward, weird, or suspicious. Frankly, the people around him that might notice mostly don’t matter and also have no way of knowing what the MC is doing. In the end, the reader is left thinking the author lazily forced the decision for the convenience of the plot. The interactions between the characters are forced and awkward. Some characters will dislike the MC for no reason. Some will dislike him for a reason but grow out of it without actively interacting with the MC. Distrust and trust feel like they appear and disappear too easily. Lastly, I will disclose that I’m not a fan of useless but diligent MCs given the key to godhood-type stories which this seems to be. Therefore, the story is going to need some compelling plot points and character relationships for me to continue much longer. Shin Got Lost trying to do too much too quickly. Perhaps, Shin could make a map. However, Shin shouldn’t get lost by focusing too much on the map, so the story isn’t forced onward without sound logic. Goodluck ShinGotLost! We want a story we can lose ourselves in.
The chapters have a lot of filler and some are just explaining the curses, and it is becoming redundant, I would like it to go back to the style of the beginning without so much filler and more things that advance the plot
I like the concept it's a well written story so far. don't give up[img=recommend]
Keep it up, my dude. I saw you in the WPC ranking. Honestly, I think this novel is high quality and the premise is interesting. I hope to see more of this! Good luck.
hey author i really like the name of the book and I'm interested in reading it but before i read it ,can you describe how the romance in novel going be?
I like the novel so far. The power system seems interesting. Though I do wonder if the mc will get more ruthless in the future? Keep up the fantastic job.
Writing great if not perfect and professional. Brings the story alive or as much as it can be. Updates u can find for urself. And the world background / power systems are great thought out and very good. Downsides… MC…. Is annoying weak willed and pretty stupid…. The MC reasoning is pretty bad… Atlest in the first 100 chapters…. think the mc is a dispointment not to just us readers but to the people in the novels world in general… But he will grow and I hope change… (I doubt it… saw his future saw blood and death…. And looks like he was just forced to watch a massacre of a lot of people probably important to him.) (not a spoiler from how vague it is and how vague the novel is) just a normal guy and keeping that mind set and always being the first to forgive trust and will give people who will betray him his full support and even sacrifice himself for people who would harm him for their own good…. (Do it tell me I’m wrong… and that basicly isn’t what i witnessed happened over and over and over again….) (I left it vague… but also put how important this is….)
okay author this is my review after reading the recent chapter and I say this is good. The overall novel and updates are consistent but the first flaw is inconsistent of the power level. i understand the mc crosses the gaps with op ness but there should be a limit but three and four even with sacrifice is too much. so you should regulate this. then second flaw the plots are all over the place. SPOILER AHEAD.......... first the fate plot which was left as it is and i understand maybe this will be one of the main plot then second comes the sword part. The third is the mysterious tower or island part. The fourth is the cursed family part which is ongoing and I suspect you will leave it for a long time. I understand you want to keep it for the world building or mystery stuff but you should give some info like you give in the cursed family or in the sword part and tease these in the future arcs so readers should connect. Then last worry is we know too little about the world like only the basics if you can show more of it in the future arcs or would there be an explanation in the academy arc ?? So it's all my review Overall the novel is good, just adds some little details it will be great 👍🏽👍🏽. Thanks
It's got an interesting concept but the plot, writing and world building are average at best. Seems to be a JJK inspired novel but it's execution has much to be desired.
[Spoiler free review] Unfortunately I can’t give this higher than 4 stars if even that as just a curtesy. I read up to chapter 100 and felt myself wanting in more ways than one with the dialogue, some of the characters, along with some of the decisions and events that occur. If you like the idea of the premise and don’t care to much about writing fidelity and some plot conveniences here or there then it’s still highly possible you will enjoy what is written well. Albiet maybe some of the MC’s decisions might make you shake your head. The biggest problem for me though is inconsistencies with the MC himself. His competence in combat is very extreme for his stated background and newfound abilities and he doesn’t ask alot of (should be) natural forming questions about the events happening around him yet still finds the best way forward when it matters most which was beyond infuriating. All in all, the world building and aesthetic descriptions are pretty good, the dialogue is pretty bad and lacks authentic substance most of the time, and alot the plot devices and characters (besides his first 2 friends and the pirate captain) feel 2 dimensional
Awesome , must read. With nice intro I’m sure story is going to be epic
I really like this story, and i have great expectation for its future. Give it a try.
Good reading, if i have to give a con the mc plot armor is too strong, although he is supposed to be cursed but we don't really see his misfortune apart one or two occurence, but it's not enough for the level of bad luck he is supposed to have.

Yeah it’s a pretty solid novel, the story is enjoyable. My only gripe is with the dialogue between characters , it seems overly forced and it’s just written poorly half the time. Even then it’s still readable and it doesn’t the interrupt the flow of the story much. Overall pretty good story do recommend.
Only read up to Chap. The novel itself isn’t that bad but MC ego and mentality needed much development. If this novel gonna reach 600s chapters, it a good thing but right now it feel like a drag to read. Like in the novel, MC needed curse to get more powerful. He had so much opportunities to copy curses but decided not to. He could’ve copy all the curses of the people trap with him in the temple but he decided only copy a few and complain about not being strong enough. After knowing that he’s not strong enough you expect him to go on a copy spree but he decided to copy only a few. By not copying others curses is just stupid when MC rely on the curses to get stronger and stay alive. This is the same MC who always feel powerless and get push around by characters around him so far. I won’t go into MC monologue cuz readers may view it positively or negatively. MC don’t like a character and showed off in front of him and few chapter later feel dreaded cuz that character lost to an enemy.(this part is confusing but you’ll probably understand if you read the novel.)
