The reading experience was engaging overall. Though there was a lot of telling, it made up for clear imagery when talking about the setting; this absolute world of heavenly beings, deities and fantastical creatures. In a way the story telling was a bit cinematic in a good way. What I liked the most about this book was the characters and their initial personalities in the first 10 chapters. Everyone had their moment in the spotlight but also background characters making the world feel more alive due to their reactions at one point in the story. The telling bits of the novel were a bit of a wall of text to an extent initially, but perhaps future ones are more clear cut. Maybe a bit more showing of the world can be implemented rather than told. Good job overall to the author.

Overall a good novel with a fair amount of pacing. This novel actually shows you the sad state the MC is initially in prior to reincarnation, and we get a fair amount of build up following his reincarnation. Grammar is overall okay and it's straight to the point. The paragraphs in general can be spaced out. The content in them is fine but because they were all jammed bigger paragraphs it felt tiring to read. So hopefully future chapters can be space out thus giving easier reading experience. Also, one thing I never understood is why the MC is hated so much. I can understand how he came to be alone but why do some stories tend to make everyone a bad person literally like "shoo go away.", why specifically this MC and not other people who might be in the same situation as him? I mean, "unwanted" really needs a stronger reason than useless or weak in my opinion. Hopefully future chapters about the MC's new life can provide more understandable reasoning towards things like disliking people. But with the positive elements, maintain them, author, with the structure and pacing of the story.

Pretty okay book in terms of ideas and concepts. Execution is a bit of a mix. On one end you got things being shown to you as opposed to being told, the direction is mysterious but not too far away from the initial outline. On the other hand paragraphs are as big as icebergs, so maybe it's best to keep 2-5 sentences per paragraph before giving a break. Pacing from the start is okay, but it can be better to provide some context or clues if the pacing is meant to be fast, better prepare the reader with what's to come for the next chapter. But with what's already good with ideas, maintain these positive things of this book, author.

So far so good on the work that's been done so far. Characters are great in terms of their presentation and the technique used here is respectable. Sometimes reading through the paragraphs can feel like there's much cause some sentences are jammed into one bigger paragraph, but this is one of those books that does require time to get through. Maybe some spacing for the larger paragraphs would be best. Maybe 2-3 sentences per paragraph unless the character is explaining something. Keep up the good work author!

A novel with a lot of world building going on. Recommended for fans of giant worlds with rich histories, groups/organizations and events that includes battles. I'm reminded of Dynasty Warriors and old school films that focus on warriors, kingdoms and events that would change their history (for better or worse). In terms of the world building, the content is good, but the presentation could be slower. Sometimes it felt like a speed read going through all of the information being thrown chapter after chapter. So perhaps in future chapters can focus on the story more followed with snippets of the world. Keep up the good work, author!
