First there was Epoch of Twilight and now Age of Adepts. I thought Epoch of Twilight was bad but Age of Adepts has to take the cake. Using the words lust and 7 year old should not work in the same sentence. So I need something to read as long as it is not loli or female protagonist
The quoted sentence is an example of a sentence where using lust and 7 year old in the same sentence is okay.
The most popular novels("good") on NU are usually Loli haha hence why I don't read them especially those by Mars Gravity
Going by the descriptions of these two novels you are looking for something where humans are at the bottom of the food chain, monsters are rampant and the mc tries to adapt to such a new environment after having lived in the comforts of the 21st century, i guess You might enjoy Reincarnator, King of the Battlefield and Master Hunter K though they don't fulfill all the criteria. Toika's stories are more comedy oriented but also great
Many equate popular with good, I edited my post That is why calling it an oxymoron makes sense Going Back in time makes for boring stories, that is why I have been holding off on reading Master Hunter K As for Reincarnator and King of the Battlefield. I am just waiting for both to conclude the translation. I recall Reincarnator getting taken off Gravity Tales for a while. It should be back now
If it's not good, why would it be popular? Just means you have a different taste. Any thing and every thing can be good, to the right people.
