A good story held back by its power system, a pace that is far too fast for its own good, and how those two things combine to drag the story down more than they could separately. Let's start with the power system, which for the purposes of this critique includes both the magic system and the MC's extraction system. The extraction system is a problem, because if you use it the way that any rational person would, you get very powerful very quickly. And the MC did exactly that, basically becoming an all-rounder OP character. It happens so early in the story that he never really has a challenging opponent anywhere close to his age--which is a bad combination with any kind of school/academy narrative, let alone one with 10(+?) grade years. You end up in a scenario where a 1st year kid can basically curbstomp 5th and 6th years, and then practically everyone in the school including most of the professors by his 2nd year. The stat system is weird, there's no good reason for strands to equal 2 points of the associated stat, especially with spell requirements (that really only affect other characters because the MC is too OP to not easily clear and stat requirements) being a thing: no spell ever requires a minimum odd number of intelligence? Strength, Agility, and Vitality basically only exist to be things that get extracted and let the MC act like a DBZ character when he wants to get physical. The spell light system is a good idea but then its limitations (and thus what makes it interesting) are made meaningless by the system which periodically lets him extract spell lights. So he ends up with a crazy long list of spells, many of which see little use but all of which get upgraded because, why not? Extraction keeps him rolling in energy, the upgrade currency of spells in his system. The magic itself is filled with rules and details that only occasionally seem to matter (cooldown has only ever mattered for the MC a couple of times early on, for example). It tries to have both the complexity of a D&D magic system and the free form of a Harry Potter style magic system, but ends up with some of the worst parts of both. Thats enough about the power system, let's talk pacing: the story zooms along at a breakneck speed, probably because of the MC becoming OP too soon. It'd be like if Harry Potter went from the kid under the stairs to Book 6 Harry by the end of Book 1. Lost in the nonstop progression are a lot of worldbuilding details that could have better fleshed out the world, and side characters and plots that could have expanded the MCs character instead of just his stats and spell list. For example, the whole Malefic branch seems like an elaborate con designed by Heinz to get away from the headmaster, because no matter how much the book tells us he is obsessed with completing his master's life work and establishing the Malefic branch, as soon as the MC can attend school Heinz and everyone else associated with the Malefic branch just up an vanish, never to be heard from again (despite MC needing a couple more Malefic specific spells, and the fact that according to his own words Heinz is probably now in his final year of life.) MC talks about how he wants to leave the Academy because it is dangeous but he also wants to stay for 8-10 years because of some powerful subjects that get taught then, but he's already in the top power tier of the school by the mid-2nd year. He has a 3rd year and a 4th year to go until the tournament arc, which he needs to do well at to secure his freedom--but short of a time skip (which would be an awful move) I dont see the story getting that far before the MC has already extracted his way to the Heaven-above-Heaven level of OPness. And lastly, for a quick example of how the system and the pacing combine to do bad things to the story, look at Divinity. At first, it's like a pile of foreign paper money from a country that you've never heard of. MC gets like 98 points ransacking the Headmaster's angel and super artifact junk collection, but he has no idea how to use it. Okay, good, this sets up anticipation. MC discovers a book im the library that bumps him over 100. No big deal until it turns out that 100 points was the upgrade condition. Very cool. Now his system upgrades, giving him new ways to get more OP quickly (boo) but also giving him a way to learn spells that use divinity to cast. Only now he doesnt have 100 points, he has like 4. So these spells are lile tactical nukes. Very good idea! Then he finds some chests full of rocks and gets 3000+ points of divinity. Now they're just like every other spell, only with bigger booms. The system plus the fast pacing ruined a cool concept, and thats kinda the story as a whole.

Is there a point that bothers me a bit? If the mc participates in the competition between academies, and he meets a real opponent, his would like to say that these students have the same level as the Director of the dark academy? (for information, the dark academy is considered as one of the most powerful academies, at the same time it still has to resist several academies at the same time) if this is really the case, then it would not make sense, in the otherwise the participation of mc (for us readers) would not make sense either. because for the first case, it makes no sense that students have almost the same level as an academy director and what is more is one of the strongest academies, from our point of view, if the mc is there just to crush them, it's a bit without suspense. I believe that the author has improved are mc much too quickly. Moreover, one last point the students who had to participate should not be from 4th year (and this is a special case, otherwise they should not participate so early) but already in 2nd year he is already preparing the participants, this which I find weird.

Author does not have the writing capability’s to write a book, the story itself is interesting, however the switching of tenses between every second sentence makes this unreadable

I read to the latest chapters...i like how the plot is going but i dont understand why is he keep on doing whatever the headmaster is asking for him..he is stronger than the headmaster now and he is still not asking for his shadow forcefully or beating up the headmaster , At least make some unbreakable vow or something , What if headmaster dont return his shadow after he gets 1 st place in that competition ?!! But Everything else is going smoothly and is interesting to read...I dont like the mc being controlled or watched , Thats the only issue i see in this novel rn.

This novel is very good, the beginning was very good and different, it explained the world well, and how magic works without being massive and tedious, and the jokes involving corpses are very funny, I always laugh at them. I'm just finding that last part very fast, after the system was updated he is already running out of control and getting very strong very fast, I hope he doesn't go down the path where nobody is his height and doesn't have challenges like many Chinese cultivation novels

I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the gap in quality between this novel and most others on this platform. The setting is similar to many other stories, but the world seems very well fleshed-out, much more than I expected. The story has progressed at a decent pace, not too fast, not too slow. The progression is logical, with the system not hogging the spotlight the whole time. It is his primary method of growing stronger, but it’s limited use has let the world and the characters take center-stage enough to make the story interesting. The writing quality is very well done. It’s probably the best quality the story has, and that’s saying a lot considering how good the rest of it is. The characters are good. The dialogue is well done, and their personalities are consistent with their actions most of the time. A bit more detail would be nice, but this review is at chapter 100, and I can tell there’s a lot more coming yet. I can’t say much for the update speed, since I binge-read all 100 chapters in a day, so I suppose I can tell you it’s not fast enough. This is the kind of author you want to kidnap and keep in your basement(with all love and respect ❤️). All in all, I really like this story and can’t wait to see where it goes. I hope it holds up to my expectations.

I am the ruler of the heavens and all realms. I came to the earth unintentionally. After seeing the talents of the earth, I felt that the earth has potential. So when I left, I created 500 sets of systems like in the novels you read., As long as like and reply 1, you can get the supreme system, and you don't lose money. Don't wait for the time to regret. So, what are you waiting for?

Well for one, reading this novel I'm pretty sure the author has a thing with necrophilia.The story is quite engaging and remains exciting after 100 chapters.I'm a bit bothered with how murdering, killing and high number of deaths are 'common' in this world, logically the population of this world cannot handle that much death on such short span of time continuously without repercussions, but I try to keep an open mind about it.So far, so good though.

This is great. MCs ability makes him a little creepy , but in a funny way. The author has a good balance of levity and seriousness, which is nice because it dodges the edgelord trope bullet. I really like how a lot of the side characters feel like real people and have their own motives. overall, it's an addictive read, and I can't wait to read more.

Awesome Book. The MC is a reincarnate but he might as well be native resident because his past life has been brought up once and has had no impact in the story. Maybe it will in the future. The story is top-notch, world building is good. There is a clear plot that keeps surprising you. That said it is a cutthroat world where everyone is out for their own gain. I just hope that the author sticks to the story and doesn’t introduce any weird elements without foreshadowing - a problem that ails many novels on the platform.

I can't understand mc's personality, she changes too often, sometimes he's very daring (when it's causing him problems) other times he's too loose, when he was a little more daring , it might have saved him some trouble... another point that I don't understand, that's why the mc doesn't progress at all without his system, he spent a year at the academy without advancing only a little in his magic cultivation, nor in the level of these spells, he relies completely on his system, suddenly I don't understand what he does all the time in which the other students progress, are their talents so weak? it has no compatibility with black magic? the author does not explain anything, he is just blocking it as long as he does not use his system, which is frustrating

overall entertaining. Reviewing around chapter 250.there are some minor flaws like the forced period where the mc intelligence stagnates with no explanation other than bad luck for abyssal odds of that really happening. otherwise, the novel is quite good and enjoyable to read.What i liked:- Good pace, - mc neither too low key nor an edge lord.- characters are somewhat believable where they act extreme due to cultivation side effects.- I didn't feel there were many cliché- fights and powers are pretty cool with some fines involved and not just brute force.- what i disliked:- some developments felt forced (e.g. the no int despite extracting across different paths, species, items... when before it was the most common draw)- conflicts are far too easy to trigger in their world. (mc could be minding his business walking and he might be targeted and attacked by strangers without any relationship to him and without even checking/confirming his identity or affiliation). well on the other hands, these mystics kind of have a loose end due to their powers so...

Enjoying this novel more than most frequently. Is slower paced, but has given more room for knowing character. For having a system the MC is not overtly op well still being ahead of others his age which is always a breath of fresh air.
