The Runesmith by Kuropon

after 500 the story gets decent again it acutally develop character ish

Mc is back to dungeon grinding

first off the writing got better what didn't get better was author uploads xD it's like every 4 or so chapters he decides to take a break

at current rate where we probably are around 60%ish through the novel I expect around another 400 ish chapters but depending on how author drags dialog out it could be 800. with author only releasing barely 80 chapters yearly

you're looking at a project that will 1 not have an ending and be dropped or 2 an ending that isn't good

which makes this less enjoyable imo
this book doesn't have high highs but has so many low lows that it's hard not to rate this around a D or maybe even a c - score

if im going off what I read these last 3 months with salvos and oracle path which I consider both c tier books as well

salvos being c and oracle path being c+ maybe even b honestly if author just didn't drag fights for 200 chapters with a 12 chapter/yearly upload schedule *not lying about that btw* it's not even a 10th of the way through the main story and prob needs 6k more chapters xD anyways

this book is just avg author doesn't Excell at anything his writing is subpar most of the time

if you want to waste a weeks worth of time reading this then go for it
