Lord of the Sky City

After binge reading to chapter 65, I guess I should leave a review. tl;dr: Personally, I enjoy this story very much. If you're a fan of kingdom building stories and enjoy stories that aren't just fast paced action, then you should give it a try! First of all: NO SYSTEM!! I'm so sick of all these cheat system stories, that I'm very glad that there's no annoying system or cheat here. He does find a "treasure" but it doesn't make him OP or give him instant success or anything. The MC still has to think for himself how to best utilize it and everything is dependent on his own hard work. I'm a sucker for kingdom building kind of stories that focus on economics, trade, research and politics. And this story, so far, really fits my taste (I'm open for recommendations if you know novels like that 🙏). There are chapters that just talk about the financial situation and ways to improve the situation or chapters talking about trades, prices and handling negotiations. That's totally my thing but people who want more action will probably get bored. (small spoiler: I think the future chapters will focus more on action, as the MC wants to do mercenary work, hunt demons etc.) I also like the characters so far. Especially the side characters aren't weak or stupid to make the MC look smart or something. They are each capable in their prospective fields without the MC being a wimp and be overly dependent on them. The MC is smart but knows his own shortcomings and is able to ask for advice/help or delegate matters. I like that he isn't someone who always does everything by himself even though he's surrounded by capable people. The translation so far is very good. Except for the name of a mage/researcher of the past that the MC sometimes talks about. The spelling changes almost every time, lol. But the name doesn't come up that often, so it's a small matter. In a few paragraphs, the names are mixed up but in the +60 chapters I read that only happened about 4-5 times, so the overall quality is still very good. As a transmigrator the MC doesn't know much about the world and we learn alongside the MC what the world is like. Slowly getting more and more background information without chapter long info dumps 👌 The language itself is more on the simple side without being overly poetic or elaborate which makes it easy to read even for non-native speakers. The only complaint I have is the lack of descriptions. I still don't even know how the main cast is supposed to look like. I don't remember reading anything about the MC's looks and even Liliya was only described as a young woman with beautiful black hair. How young exactly? is the hair short, long? in a ponytail, braid or left open? what about eye color? is she pretty herself or more average looking?🤷🏾‍♀️ Later he meets a beastman; muscular, over two meters tall. That's it. But if he's a beastman, does he have animal characteristics? But nothings mentioned 🤷🏾‍♀️ Nontheless, I'm really looking forward to future chapters and hope that the updates will be constant

The story is interesting, with phases of research, training, some politics, a very intense fight in later chapters (waiting on ch. 59 now). Things are just now starting to snowball, and it feels like there will be more action chapters soon. Note: Wensel's name is mistranslated many times across many chapters, but then it stops. Chapters in the 50s switch Aileen and Liliya's names a few times. Most of the rest of the translation is good. 👍

A mix of world building and cultivation without the heavy focus on cultivation. I like that the MC isn't OP, nor does he get OP quickly. There is a bit of face slapping going on, but I'm hoping he takes back what is rightfully his father's from his paternal clan. I actually enjoyed reading this. But regardless of my review, test the waters yourself

Imbecile MC destroys all the joy, from the story.

I cannot recommend this novel as there's 2 things that shock me: 1 - the chapter length are small compared to any novel I have read so far 2 - there's a lot of filling... so much that I can't take it anymore. a good example below: "However, in reality, subtle changes were quietly taking place in Thunderhawk City, changes that were unnoticed by many because they were too minor; probably only those who were driving these changes could perceive everything that was happening, but these changes were indeed occurring." if you cumulate those 2 points, even if story development, character design were amazing ( which they are not, average at best), it's painful to read. it looks like author just look at the reader as a money bag.

I really enjoyed the story. It is an interesting read where magic is combined with technology, there is a bit of politics, a lot of action and the theme of developing a sky city. The main character begins his story as the lord of a small sky city entangled in conspiracies on every side. He is forced to fight for survival in a world consumed by demons, but it is the greed of other people that poses the greatest challenge. There are power armors, big sky wars, city development and a lot of schemes. I definitely recommend it :)

Really good Novel, All aspects of the novel are good and I am relieved that there is not system bullshit as in every kingdom building talents and skills come out of nowhere without any logic but in this novel mc himself developed his power and the characters support him
