    Was this that fucking terrible story about the guy who uses light magic and elementals and trains while he sleeps? I think it was TJSS's first story? Yeah it's fucking awful.

    Not because the story was bad or the plot was off. It was just very, very clear that it was the creation of an inexperienced authour. MC is the ultimate Mary Sue, but in the worst way possible. It's not like he's super OP and everything ends up working out to his benefit. Instead he's just magically capable of everything exactly as it's needed, even if this completely contradicts any previous character development.

    It was really bad. Don't read it.

    I think that was his first novel right? You can’t really hold it against him for being inexperienced~

    Different people, different taste. So you should read it first and see whether you like it or not. The good news is, the novel is completely translated. If the novel not good, the translator won't waste their precious time. It's simple as that. You should be the judge.

    From what little I remember: The author often injects his persona into the story and gives away spoilers. And the bromance is off the charts. A very immature work, overall. Read at your own discretion.

    I am so confused by your statement. So I should think the, objectively terrible, story is good just because it's his first one? Or somehow I shouldn't say it's terrible because it's his first one? What are you actually saying lol.

    The writing is terrible. Don't read it. Any other piece of information is not going to change this.

    Okay you’re confused cos obv you haven’t read what I wrote. Let me try again~
    See? The writer not the story~ yes the story was not great. But it was the writers first time. His other novels since COL have been okay. Some are favourites of people as well~

    I already read it long time ago and l think this novel was remade at the end because there was two out come, but if you ask this was good or not then it was a bit bad

    Look, it's probably not as terrible as everybody makes it out to be. Cause terrible is a strong word. I can see people using bad to describe it. Imo it's not bad but neither was it good enough for me to recommend unless you've read most of the ones you want to read. I suppose it's worth it to read and find out. Read it during your free time or something.
