Translation quality dropped / 2-D antagonists
Book one was a much more natural sounding translation into English. This book had a lot of awkward phrasing, and sounded at times as though it was translated phrase by phrase, or even word by word, without thought as to how different languages/cultures often express the same sentiments in very different ways.
Secondly, the reactions of everyone to the main character are getting repetitive—is no one in this world capable of learning from the past? Every rival starts ridiculously arrogant and overconfident, chronically underestimating the main character despite all of the feats he's accomplished, and they're all quickly put in their place. Every ally perpetually alternates between amazement at how OP the main character is, and like the rivals, chronically underestimating him and his abilities. You just watched him beat a dungeon on the hardest difficulty on the first try with flawless strategies, later on wipe an entire 40 man team of some of the highest level players in the area, again with flawless strategies, and you don't believe him when he says he has a strategy to take on some random hippos?
There are countless examples of that same cycle. "Wow he's amazing, he can do anything!" then 10 seconds later, "He's good, but he doesn't stand a chance against [insert random moderately challenging situation]."

Cant wait to see where this going.
Another great story. Feng is starting to get into his own. People are starting to recognize him as the expert he is. However, that is not always a good thing. The fued with Martial Union is really starting to heat. We are going to have to wait and see. I not sure but I am pretty sure I am now caught up with I read of the original translations.

Minor translation issues is all
One of the best series in the lit rpg genre. Actual inclusion of real life!! One of the few that does. That In my opinion is the defining factor of lit rpg. It is what makes it different. More so than just popping a UI and a status page in a fantasy novel.

Book three
I feel the translation of this book was rushed. The deference between the quality of book one and that of book three is huge.
The editing also wasn't as good.
I can still recommend this book on the story alone.

Worth a read
If you are invested in the series I would recommend reading it. If you haven't read any before, go back and read from book one.

Enjoyable read just like the last two. I look forward to more world building and the tests and turns of plot development in the future.

So fun
It’s an addicting read. And though the main character is overpowered, he’s not perfect and gets caught flat footed from time to time. It’s a great read. Enjoy it.

I am really enjoying this series. Even with some awkward phrases due to translation. I have enjoyed it enough to buy all 8 available books.

Book three
While there are moments where a really good story peak through, it is sadly overshadowed by a terrible translation. I really don't understand all the good reviews. Every single page is littered with mistakes, words still in Chinese, repeat information, and many other problems.
I normally highlight and post mistakes, but I don't have the time to cover 2,427 pages of errors.
Since I had a slightly easier time getting through this book than the first two I will rank it as
.05/10
