    The novel starts off quite interesting. As is typical with the trend of transmigration stories, MC doesn't think twice about being teleported to another world- that's completely ok, actually. His transmigration and his immediate assimilation into the world can be excused, despite the fact that he came from a world of familiar smartphones and not a world with a jumbled mix of advanced "ring" systems, ancient relics, and wacky monsters. That one point. That is excusable. However, much like credit card debt, you cannot declare bankruptcy the second time. It would appear as though the author definitively planned out the first 20 or so chapters of the story- it feels pretty realistic, and the MC's wits show through in a manner that engages the reader, despite his crippling handicap. Ever present in the background was his impending death, as his lifespan was essentially crippled to around 3 months. Then, the warning signs begin to show. His cheat skill, a sort of system, activates and immediately catapults him to importance by granting him the ability to summon monsters he kills, which the translator terms "Imperial Censure". There is no explanation on how this role fits into society, simply that the role is "exclusive" and represents "high status". What else does it do? Allow him to copy skills, for one. Instantly, MC is a comprehension genius. The author's lazy writing starts to show through here, around the assessment arc. MC enters desert. Desert has sand monsters. Fight sand monster, summon sand monster. Mutated?! Joy! The above is literally how the world building in this novel works. Author throws out a random location, describes it with a line or two, and then focuses back on MC. This could be remedied if the MC was adequately fleshed out, but that doesn't occur, either. The whole reason the MC is joining the assessment is because his system would've deserted him otherwise, because apparently the transmigration, monster, and OP system tropes weren't enough- the author needs a quest aspect as well. What else happens? MC meets possibly the most overpowered character in the entire story (literally a surviving half god) and his blood somehow managed to revive her. Then, she instantly heals his crippled lifespan. He subsequently proceeds to learn an Epic skill from watching her brew tea. Afterwards, he returns to the assessment like nothing happened. Yeah. However, I digress. Overall, the author attempts to demonstrate the MC's prowess at the expense of world building and other characters. Bai Yan, the main antagonist, was initially portrayed as aloof- he stated he wouldn't kill the MC because the MC was week. Flash forward 2 days and Bai Yan now picks fights whenever MC says anything. In public. What? MC apparently is the only one with brains as well. With an impending monster horde, there's no way for everyone to escape. What should they do? MC suggests rather plainly that they could group up and fight- author throws in some random locations to make MC seem smarter, and everyone reacts as if MC is a genius. He's really not. Even his power is borrowed. And what he does have came from plot armor. He's essentially a vessel that is given "personality" by the secret seeds of wish fulfillment within our hearts- nothing more. If you value world building and character development, don't read this. If you're willing to turn off your brain and become one of the numerous other side characters that fawn over the MC, then I guess you could give it a shot. *Translation and editing are both really basic. I do not profess to be competely adept at grammar, but as a native, the choppy sentences are quite numerous. Additionally, the word choice is extremely bland and basic. On the flip side, I guess there's at least a semblance of uniformity across the mundane story, cardboard MC, and uninteresting descriptions. I hope the irony of this praise is not lost to you.

    Remarkably bad on almost all fronts. The translation is rapid, but incredibly poor in quality - sentences often mean the opposite of what they actually say. The plot armor is thicker than a nuclear shelter. MC gets transported to another world, but it's one of those transfer MCs where you question why they even bothered since none of his thoughts are ideas are from Earth except when he thinks to himself "this system is like the card game I used to play" except for that one time he thought to himself, "Oh, just like the webnovels I read on Qidian". MC gets a gacha card "system" with pretty absurdly strong powers, which is fine. MC proceeds to use it very poorly, which is less fine. World in general is what I call "low-intelligence worlds", where a moron from Earth is a genius in this world. MC hailed as a genius for having mediocre ideas. Note that this is despite the world being seemingly at least equal to Earth in technology along with a large variety of "system" magic and magic tools. And it gets worse. Characters are needlessly wasteful of resources and lives. Characters are randomly cruel or self-centered in ways that normally don't survive 8th grade, and this includes the MC. Character personalities are completely inconsistent, and so far his life and powerups are a series of random encounters that has essentially no input by the character or supporting characters having any persistent, reasonable motivation. The world and its people seemingly only exist for the MC to do his thing, but the MC doesn't have a thing to do. He sort of had an immediate motivation in that his life bar was set at ~60 days at the start, but that got solved partially without him trying because it turns out his system gives him like a year of life just for killing one bottom-tier monster and then it gets solved completely without him trying because of a random encounter was like "hey thanks for doing this thing that you did with no effort, btw, I am actually a god and I fixed your supposedly unsolvable problem without you asking me to" But worst of all is the nonsensical things that happen. I would call it a plot, but that's an insult to actual plots Example: MC's temporary boss/high ranker/harem candidate tells him not to let anyone leave town because it might be too dangerous. Random low-tier noob says she wants to leave anyway. MC pulls out a gun and point it at her head and tells her he'll kill her if she leaves. He could have just said, "hey, the gold-ranker says you can't leave because there are monsters roaming outside" but naw, straight to gun-in-face. Keep in mind this isn't some grimdark fantasy, this is a hyper-modern world where there's supposed to be rule of law. Our MC is a psychopath, but it gets worse. Random bozo tries to stick up for the girl and say the MC is being unreasonable, MC literally thinks random bozo is just doing this for a pretty face and is proud that he isn't swayed by pretty faces. Author makes it clear he's also proud his MC isn't, the chapter title is literally titled "What's Being Kind to Women?". Suddenly, for no reason at all, random mid-boss antagonist who has been harassing MC (and other people) jumps in to start a fight against MC, not because of the girl but because he wants to pick on MC. They look like they're going to get in a fight. Mid-boss is definitely stronger than him, he literally beat MC like yesterday and let him go because "you're so weak you're not worth killing even though I'm here to kill weak people because I'm weird." MC doesn't back down, because I don't know, being a dumbass threatening some random girl with shooting her in the face so she doesn't endanger herself is more important than his own life, which is all so stupid I can barely breathe. Fortunately, they're suddenly interrupted by random bullsh*t and everybody forgets what they were doing. In the ensuing few days MC exerts his dominance by beating up sh*t-tier background characters with no names and doesn't let anyone leave. Somehow, this makes people trusting and admiring of him, which is important because he's about to lead a squad into battle because his boss/harem candidate thought all that previous bullsh*t was genius work by him. A couple of chapters later he declares he's going to stay and defend the town from monsters despite being having a power rating of effectively zero when there are literally a thousand other super-powered high level humans running around. Literally tens of thousands of years of combat experience between all of them, and somehow MC is piping up with his sh*t-tier ideas and people are calling it genius. It also feels super weird because our MC has been relatively focused on himself and his sister so far, and this is the first hint that he gives a sh*t about anybody else, yet he's suddenly burning with self-sacrificial desire. Not long after, it turns out this was a tremendously stupid idea (which literally other more experienced people than him told him at least three times) and he's going to die, 100%, no take-backsies. Just then he gets a system notification: Would you like to get your get-out-of-jail-free card I didn't tell you about and you didn't know you had? He's like: "sure". And then the magic wish automatically determines how to get him out of the situation with no input from him, and kills millions of monsters with a nuke that only hits bad guys and instakills everyone but the boss, and saves the day. No, I'm not joking or exaggerating in the least. But wait, it didn't kill the boss. Boss appears and says, haha, you humans are so dumb, Superman-Goku Macguffin the 3rd isn't coming to save you, Superman is a dumbo and is fighting my sekret clone. By the way, I'm going to kill all of you, especially you MC. Suddenly, harem candidate goes, "Wait boss monster, can you please give me 3 minutes to confess my love for MC? Pleaaase? Pretty pleeaaase?" Boss monster goes: "Okay, sounds fine with me, but don't doublecross me or I'm gonna like, kill you. Uh, I guess I'm gonna kill you anyway but I'll like really super duper kill you or something", and he goes to sit in the corner and jacks off for awhile. Harem-candidates grabs MC, and then is like, "omgersh boss monster, you so dumb!" and then she pushes through MC through a portal while boss monster is distracted. Staring at the portal he goes, "How dare you lie to me!" "Curse you humans and your predictable yet inevitable betrayal!" "It's a good thing you were too dumb to take your own portal, now I'm going to kill you even harder!" But then she goes "Wait, let me give a dying speech. Okay, still giving a dying speech. man, why am I not dead yet? Guess I'll speech some more. Also, it's sort of weird that I pushed MC through the portal and stayed behind but he's still here but oh well, if the author's not paying attention why should I? MC even though I met you like last week and we've literally never had a conversation, you are the most amazing man ever and I love you." Boss monster: "That's great, I'm gonna kill you now." POW! Suddenly the goddess our delightful MC met last week in yet another random encounter roll after feeding a squirrel who turned out to be a immortal god-beast who was the pet of the goddess back in the day so he was like, how about I show you her corpse and then just because MC is MC the goddess came back to life from him getting a plot boner or something and was like "Oh hey MC, we're soulmates and I love you. Please ignore my irrelevant background story which makes it seem like I should vengefully kill all humans." Anyway. Goddess shows up and her pet squirrel smacks boss monster to death with a single slap. Literal Deus ex Machina. BTW MC, since we killed a immortal super boss monster, why don't you take its soul, you can raise it as a soul pet and get super powers you didn't work for, again. MC: "Oh yeah, goddess, can you help save this harem candidate who I met last week?" "long as you're here doing miracles, y'know?" Goddess: "No, that is impossible... unless I had a boss monster soul or something like that, but those are pretty rare and it's not like we just have those lying around." "Oh whoa, it turns out there's a boss monster soul I just gave you. But are you sure you want to give it up? You worked so hard for it. Oh wait, no you didn't I just showed up and gave it to you." MC: "uh, sure, yeah, whatever G-dog" Goddess: "haha, just playing, I don't need the monster soul after all. It'd be too much of a pain in the ass to write another monster in...I mean, I don't need one because I got others. Despite me being dead for the last thousand years or whatever" "Bippity-boppity-boo! This girl is alive! But hey we're still gonna get it on at some unspecified later date when you're a god through remarkable happenstance, right?" "also, the girl is super mega powerful now cuz I put a god-beast in her. The soul I gave her was like a super rare Phoenix soul I just had lying around." MC: "Yay!" And that's when I stopped reading.

    I have no issue at all with the translator or update speed. The author however just doesn't write a good story. He completely forgets about the main character's thirteen year old sister, and the character development is all over the place. Random events like the retarded snow white and the yeti is retarded. The world building is just bad. 90% of the time, I have no idea what the area the main character is looks like, nor the cities, nor the countries or the world. It's all grey fog. It's just all around ****ty.

    Really don’t understand how this could have become 3rd on weekly ranking - really poorly written, some of the most gaping plot holes I have witnessed not to mention the thick layers of plot armour. Many of the situations seem to have been made up on a whim of the author and going from 0 to 100 as he seems to get bored of sticking to one subject. They do say copying is the best form of flattery but some of this is just down right plagiarism from various stories - he randomly started throwing in hunter x hunter terms etc. for a couple of chapters then seems to totally forget about it. Overall, largely disappointing.

    Translation quality up until now from chapters 10 to 40 could definitely be better. Story development is trash, too much plot armor and plot holes. Characters are all brain-dead. World background was interesting at first but it's complete randomness now.

    I rarely want to write a review, but this time, I iust can't stand it. I really don't know how this novel get into second rank in weekly vote nor do I know why those people who gave 5 stars review only has "zero chaps read" in their stats. But the one thing I know is, this novel is really a compilation of FULL OF TRASH ! Very bad that even with my quite easy to satisfied reading preferences refuse this novel! I am not talking about preference kind of stories, nor did I do this for a black campaign, but this novel really does it in a most TRASHY ways.. The MC is a hypocrite, full of nonsense justice, but his actions latter contradicts his sense of justice, the world revolves arround him (many MC like this). Those things I can accept. The logic of the story is nonsense, e.g: the monster hit the MC with a giant hammer with the speed of sound in close quarter combat and mc got to dodge it by ducking down while his body is only in a normal citizen level, and there is no sonic boom accompanying that hammer who's moving at a speed of sound? This kind of stupid logic I can also live with that. When the world is in danger, and all the world's leaders gather in one place, all the world's most beautiful minds thinking of a way to survive but can't think of anything except to receive that fate and die, here comes the time the MC to shine, by proposing a stupid idea that any 10 years old kid should know and the whole world sing a song of genius praises to him! And this happens many times! This doesn't prove that the MC is a genius (like the author intend to do), this only proves that the whole world are just a bunch of idiots. And I wonder how they even manage to live this long before the MC transmigrate a month ago? This I can't accept. The MC only show you that 1+1 is 2 and einstein class genius would praise him for MC's genius. What a stupid novel. Read it at your discretion, I'm sure you will be disapointed, don't trust the vote and assume this is a good story, and last thing, you have been warned !

    If you like stories WITHOUT logic, believable characters, and world development... You'll love this. For example : There are vampires who are nighthunters... But can't see in the dark. The same vamp can smell a girl through a locked door but can't find the MC when he's hiding. The very same vampire is so slow that when he's holding a girl's foot and about to kill her:1 the mc arrives. 2. The mc thinks what he should do, runs over to a lamp, grabs the lamp and smashes it on the vampire. 3. The mc grabs the girl and runs away from the vamp Makes me wonder how that stupid vampire race hasn't gone extinct already.

    Updated fine but the novel was horrible. The author coddled the MC so much that I never seen him struggle even once so far. First time it made sense to be saved from a disaster with 0,0001% survival rate, cause he needed to be super lucky to be an MC. Then it started.. "I'm useless" - copied someone's sword technique. "My house is ruined" - a man build him a new one with 1 more floor. "Birds chased me" - made a distress call and can go back after sleeping in a hotel. "Ah I can die any moment now cause I'm born unlucky" - a girl out of nowhere healed his one true flaw (that made him unique btw). "Oh my god, some boss will attack us please hear me out" - upper level guy trusted him so much, he gave the no ranking MC a team to lead. "Wah I'm attacked!" - an explosion card came to his rescue killing everything within 10k radius (I already bored ny this point so I don't know if the radius is true or not, it's big. That's all it matters. I don't really care no more). "Hot examiner almost died because of me" - the girl who healed him came again and helped him. I stopped at that point. No more. He's not OP but he's a baby. He can't do anything. Always been fed by his mommy (the author). MC wanted to eat, author will chew and spat the food for him. MC wanted to poop, author will open MC's butthole for him. That's how bad this novel was.

    I started reading it because of such high votes in daily voting system and then 3rd in power ranking. But man was I disappointed. This web novel has serious issues with plot armor and plot holes that it just ridiculous. I normally am an easy going reader and normally ignore such inconsistencies, but here its borderline insanity. Whatever MC wants he gets it by random event within next few pages. Also maybe this is specialty of this Monster World that MC was ported to but everyone there is so DUMB, don't want to get into details else it will involve spoilers. Also character depth is almost nil with everyone else except MC are simply one dimensional . Last but not the least translation quality is sub par with so many mistakes but that can be overlooked as translators are releasing at such a fast pace.My advise do yourself a favor and stay away from this one or you will also start doubting the ranking on Qidian(like me), thinking that maybe they are rigged as there is no way that such poor quality work can be ranked 3rd.

    There must be some sort of conspiracy going on with the power stones because this story does not deserve first place. I'll summarise it for everyone here.

    Ok first of all, the translator doesn't deserve 1 star. I would have given him 3 stars in quality (he tends to switch names from english to chinese without telling) and a 4 in stability. Unfortunately I just had to lower his stars so the total score would get lower. If you like a realistic world, realistic characters with realistic situations and fair powers this is NOT a story for you. I reached my limit of unrealistic **** after I got to the explination of the power system which is convoluted to say the least and our MC got such a unfair power I couldn't continue reading (see below). Explination of the power system: 1. Everyone has 360 columns. 2. Normal people has 200 grey columns at birth, leaving 164 white ones. 3. Every year one of the columns drains and becomes a grey one. 4. To unlock a grey column you need to put in 10 life crystals which apperantly is a rare drop and very expensive. 5. To get to the next power rank you need to unlock all your grey columns. 6. You can only unlock a grey column ONCE so if you don't fill all of your grey within a year you can never reach the next rank. This is the stupidest power system I've ever seen. First of all if its THAT hard to rank up goverments would restrict it to their top agents. Even if they didn't it would be impossible for a normal person to rank up, since they need to fill their wheel all in one go. This would mean that our MC would NEVER. EVER! have chosen this as a proffession since in this line of work, he needs to be strong first to get money so he can take care of his sister. To become strong he needs money to buy life crystals to power up, causing this to be a catch 22. Lets do some quick math. Our MC had 152 non grey colums at birth (apperantly he had a lower number then average). After 15 years this becomes 152-15=137. 364-137=227 grey colums to fill. Each grey one requires 10 life crystals (rare drop remember) causing him having to gather 2270 life crystals to break through to the next rank with 10 more for each year it takes. Now since this (apperantly) is a rare drop, costing the same ammount as a good weapon, lets say 10% of the monsters drop this. That means our MC needs to kill 22 700 monsters to rank up. And this is from the LOWEST RANK to the next one. That means that for hunanity to get an iron rank they need to kill on a average 25 000 monsters for Each. Damn. One.... THEY WOULD BE NATIONAL GOD DAMN TREASURES!!! *WARNING - Spoilers Bellow!* Around chapter 15 our MC is participating in an exam which would make their strength official and they would get a larger paycheck from the goverment. Somehow the goverment is fine with letting their examinees die in droves, the same guys we just figured out should've been national treasures. This is so stupid I actually had to stop reading for a while. When I finally gathered enough strength to continue this happens. Our MC' ONLY weakness so far was that his life force drained at an insane rate. Now this was a good weakness because it prevented him from taking it easy and created some urgency in this story. The author decides to throw this out the window by giving our MC the ability to absorb the life force of creatures he kills, ****** that rare drop we discussed before completly useless. He can litterally fill up all his columns with 10-15 monsters instead of the 25 000 everyone else has to kill. This ability is something everyone in this world chooses for themselves and our MC got the ability for graduating top of the class. If this ability (called goldfinger) was truly so powerful why doesn't EVERYONE and their grandmother have it? If they only have one or can only grant it to one why would the goverment give the most powerful tool at their disposal to a random poor guy just because he graduated top of his class? If the goverment has no clue about the capabilities of the abilities they grant why would they give this specific one to the top student? Why not just have a huge spinning wheel and let chance decide? ANYWAYS; The results of this is that our MC has zero weaknesses, is a genius who can learn things other poeple does in 103 days working 18 hours a day by half-assing it in 3 days. (Yes. He leared a swordstyle that took a talented person 1854 hours to learn in about 9-10 hours by WATCHING HIM. Sounds fair and realistic right?...) This will become yet another Gary Stue running around screaming "look at my amazing system" story... I'm litterally expecting a harem member to show up in 5 chapters and his little sister getting the hots for him which will somehow be acceptable in this new world which the author still hasn't defined if it's a new world, some form of time travel or some other dimension. My recommendation? DO NOT READ.

    i give 5 stars to Translation Quality (I think you should separate translation quantity from the review of the novel ), but the story development, character design and world building is not worth a single star. I see many people votes of their power stone On this novel every week, So I read it (113 chapter). Each time I tell myself the story is going to get better But in end Just a waste of time. (No offense)

    The idea is great, but somehow the story is average, too bland for me. Because Qidian need 140 characters for review, here's some meaningles dot. ..............................................................................................................................................................................
