About the manhua, this is straight 2/10 as the author just world building and no real story happening+extremly boring BUT if you a scraping for masterpiece later on, u HAVE TO go through the pain of reading the world setting as it is extremely important. Just forget the manhua and go through the pain of learning english in the novel
As for novel, both the author and translator team are insane. As someone 7.5 reading ielts and B1 in french, the novel use alot of accient and french borrow words to the point i have to have to use dictionary in atleast every paragraph of the novel in the first 400 chapter ten still frequently use it later on but it actually make a lot of sense in this novel. Not a newbie friendly novel for those who start reading
The story create a magic system of 22 pathway to become god with each distinct character. Very good char building and it is fixed so almost no char development but it is the cool thing about this. You are eventually yourself or else you go insane.
The novel have the first book finish and is one the second one, as someone read for around 8h a day with quite fast reading speed, the first book take me about a month to finish reading. So the story is ling amd good
Now, the author is a jerk and a mad man. The worldbuilding is super long and that guy just put random important things everywhere and he write it himself that he just remember it, sometimes, he just write random talk about life and said well, i think im gonna use it but then he said nah, forget it just put that aside. He know ppl love his story so he said DONATE me or else i gonna make the world building of second book even longer. And that Son of a B actually do it. The second book continue the first one with different MC as the first one have become true god but go hibernate. The second book world is like France. I have to bring back the dictionary to read it and the world building is still the first 200chap, extremely painful to walk through that again.
