The story is great, but there is something I don’t understand. It makes me wonder whether the author is an idiot or whether the author wants everyone besides the protagonist to be a moron.
From what I have read so far (ch.47), only some people practicing certain skills or those who had certain enlightenments can know another person’s cultivation level, but the author still hasn’t said if they, too, could be fooled, because we already had two people hiding their real strength.
Now the question is, why the hell are there so many people being arrogant about their own cultivation levels, if they can’t even perceive others’?
You can’t go around flaunting how nobody under level x can’t beat you, when said level x is standing right in front of you and you pissed him off. You’re a fucking moron. You can’t perceive or understand others’ strength, so on what freaking basis are you being so arrogant and full of yourself, like you would never meet people stronger than you?
Anyway, this is the only flaw I mind in this story, the rest is all nice and good~
The perfect example of an author trying to up their chapter's word count. In a few paragraphs "Mongolian mutton barbecue" was repeated eight times. You think that's nothing? Well, have a read yourself and tell me it wasn't annoying as hell.
Today’s dinner is a Mongolian mutton barbecue.
We don’t have the special pan for it, but it’s a Mongolian mutton barbecue.
We don’t have the special sauce for it, but it’s a Mongolian mutton barbecue.
We have the goat meat that we got from defeating the boss, it’s a Mongolian mutton barbecue.
We prepared two sheets of iron, and a wooden stand.
One sheet of iron is put on the wooden stand, an arrangement of stones is put on it, and the second sheet of iron is placed on that. Charcoal is put between the plates.
The charcoal is set on fire, and the meat and vegetables are cooked on the top plate.
It looks like Teppanyaki.
I’m really very thankful.
It’s a Mongolian mutton barbecue.
Even though I used an original fish sauce, and a different kind of meat, it’s a Mongolian mutton barbecue.
Since I said that it’s a Mongolian mutton barbecue, today’s dish is Genghis Khan.
The vegetables have been seasoned with the juices from the meat, so it’s roughly about right.
When it’s cooked, I serve it up.
It’s my duty as Master to serve meat.
I’m like a cool parent.
Well, neither Roxanne nor Sherry can use chopsticks.
We have a stew which Roxanne made, a soup that Sherry made, and the bread that I bought.
You could say that it tasted quite good.
Yesterdays adventures became today’s provisions.
“It’s delicious.”
Since Roxanne said the taste was good, today’s meal is a Mongolian mutton barbecue.
I dropped this some time ago, but I never even said I picked it up, I think. Anyway the point is, in this story the author instead of alternating between giving the readers the carrot (the protagonist showing their awesomeness) and the stick (showing there is someone better than the protagonist), he's just giving out the hammer, that is, he continually makes the reader see the protagonist get beaten down, maybe inserting some scant victories here and there, if he feels good enough. Also, I'm not a masochist, I don't enjoy seeing the protagonist being cornered by a member of the opposite sex just because the author decides so or because it actually is their problem. If the protagonist is supposed to be awesome and cool about socialising with others, you can't make them be easily suppressed by the others; mind you, at the beginning, the protagonist could actually keep up, but at some point the author decided it just wasn't meant to be and fucked everything up, for me, mostly.
Since I'm already angry, I might as well continue to fuel my rage. For example, these are two no-good novels which images I saved only to remember not to read them. The first is about a shittier take on Zero no Tsukaima, obviously with various things changed and the protagonist even more annoying. The second is a shittier version of The New Gate, of which I couldn't stand to read beyond chapter one. You think my judgement was rushed on the second one? Well I think the blond-haired girl's (incredibly annoying (to me)) character has been used too many fucking times.
