The Elysium Across Deep SpaceThe Stars Beyond

深空彼岸

Translation starts off decent but slowly turns awful, tagged as completed but missing 2/3 of the novel so it ends in the middle of the novel, it had potential but the lack of clarity on realms/power levels being all over the place made it a choir to read, sometimes one realm would have 3 different names constantly changing through chapters I would give it a 4/10 due to bad translation and tagged as completed with over half the chapters missing.

If it had good translation and uploaded all the chapters would be around a 6/10

Wheres the other chapters?

shitty novel, its so boring. the rating was 3.8, thought of giving it a try. Man, i wasted my time.

is this the book where all those "Wang Xuan" lines inserted in other novels come from? something about a fish mocking him?

Read till chapter 92. I was bored so i thought i would give it a try.

For me its a 6/10

There are no cliques but there is nothing noteworthy. The entire power structure is not really explained. The power lvls are not explained either so fights are hard to bring context into. The plot lines are using elements that are not even introduced or used as an introduction but more of a way close them off without any afterthought.

For example. He gets an assassination attempt on him and he wonders who is the mastermind.Then it is someone big!

The romance... The novel literally starts with a romeo/Juliet type scenario. Where a rich family does not want their daughter to associate with the mc. So the MC breaks of his relationship with the daughter before the novel starts and all his problems begin from there and romance has not been really mentioned besides using it as a way to cause issues.

The author actually encourages you to not read. Lets create a MC that stops dating his gf because he can't handle the pressure of her family. Then to make it better lets make the power-system really abstract and then use a few chapters to explain that his path to power is useless because even the people that went far into his path can still be killed by a single bullet. (Not true, probably but still great idea to start a novel with this premise)

World building... A lot of characters introduced but no meaning. For example wow big family... rich... powerful... Oke rich how... oke powerful how? There is 0 context for any character. Same for power lvl's. Yes hes really strong. Oh MC becomes really strong... So who is stronger... hmmm... oh mc just one shot 10 guys of the same lvl and then struggles with someone else that just got introduced and killed in the same chapter !?! What am i even reading.

Plot-holes are also fun to read. Everyone comes from a rich family that studies at the academy and then he is worried about the desk that got destroyed by assassins... Or that the new faction has a population of more then a million and the old faction has a population of mc and an elder with 2-3 side characters that watch.

The first 12 in a half chapters are something you can skip if you want. They are a quite boring and it is all about "woe is us" (life sucks) and the dissolution of a college that focused on ancient cultivation. The fist 12 chapters really make you want to just drop the LN if they don't turn around this negative story fast. But there is a change that happens at the end of chapter 13 that puts a positive direction to the LN. You won't really miss out on to much by just skipping to the 13th chapter.

20 chapters in and nothing has made me want to continue reading, also something about the way the novel is written/translated is so boring

This is good novel.I recommend you should also try this
