Ah, well then TI isn't for you. People drop like flies and it's a very brutal world he's been thrown into. And I can understand disliking GDW, it took my a while to adjust to that world's treatment of women and how quickly they seem to have devolved into a patriarchal slave society where women are only worth their looks. The depiction of women is pretty terrible in it, not just in their treatment but also in their mentality, as the author seems to have reduced them into weaklings that can only throw themselves at the strong (mainly the MC). That said, I love me some death-game novels so I overlook it and just treat it as the author's writing style. The MC is essentially a tyrant at this point so I don't put much past him.
It just didn't look very interesting. The problems that I expect with its plot based on its synopsis are also confirmed by many of the reviews.
For anyone curious: Evolution Theory of the Hunter: Good, but it has some problems with its plot. Hopefully they'll be sorted out with time. Heaven Awakening Path: Extremely slow plot development and a relatively confusing cultivation system make this a hard one to recommend. Level Up: Good so far, but still very early in the translation. Chapters are released in parts, so while the translation is relatively fast, the actual content of each release is quite short. Aim the Deepest Part of the Different World Labyrinth: Translation seems to be abandoned or on hiatus so I didn't bother. Murdering Heaven Edge: Dropped during the second chapter. It was clear that this story was going to be about an ancient evil cultivator trying to corrupt an innocent youth, and that's just not appealing to me.
i wouldn't say he is that evil, only a bit cruel. and the 'youth' isn't gonna get corrupted or anything
I might give it another go at some point then. The first two chapters really rubbed me the wrong way though.
he basically took away the image of sects for the kid, he's a nice guy in all honesty and its a damn good read i would recommend to you and the OP
second chapter too early. at least 8 then you see how great the story is. like a little escape from the whole reincarnated genius cycle.
As the translator for Level Up...I'm kinda like mehh about it LOL I know...i should be promoting the novels I translate...but personally I like ETHOT and God's Song on my site way more.
I'll give it another go then. Well, if you're feeling 'meh' about it, then you're probably thinking of dropping it, in which case advertising it is probably doing a disservice to anyone drawn in by that advertising.
Yehh i'm currently reading a bunch and translating them a little here and there...i thought level up was going to be great but it isnt as good as i thought it might be. I have another book I have high hopes for...but I'll need to read more to see if it's worth putting it up on my site. I want to be selective about what I translate. I want all my readers to enjoy all the books i post.
I guess that's the downside of reading while translating for series. We have faith you'll find some good novels though
i would recommend The Nine Cauldrons but its new to the translations, its interesting and I like the idea of how the main character hides his full power so he won't be noticed by bigger opponents etc. its a good read and hopefully you'll be interested in it
I haven't read any of those, so I'll randomly recommend Dominion's End, which I don't know if you've read, nor do I know if you will like. I liked it though, so whatever! >.> <.<
Reading it now. It got better fast after the first few chapters. I'm not really a fan of IET. All his books feel like the same book. Reading it. Sadly the translation speed is abysmal.
the nine cauldron's does the incredibly ballsy move of the entire first book, a good 20 chapters have him in our world before the main setting even comes into play and works really well in getting you invested in the character
