I dropped it on the 64th chapter of the novel. It's very interesting at start, but falls in quality later on.

First of all, as would be expected from a civilization development story, this one also has plenty of time-skips.

MC's interactions with his followers later on in the novel mostly don't even get mentioned. We can see from their actions that they happened, but we are not shown them. There is also quite a number of followers, but mostly they get one arc each and then are spread like spice in the other arcs. They just become tools for the MC to make gains, rather than to be treated as individuals.

Things just happen one after another, the author doesn't put much effort into events. They mostly just happen without without putting much thought into them, so some are too short, while others are uselessly long and uninteresting.
The MC also becomes yet another arrogant MC to whom everything falls into his lap, while his enemies stumble one after another without much effort and he keeps getting praised brainlessly, while his opponents keep getting insulted left and right.
It feels like the author is speed-running to the end of the story, while also trying to delay the ending as much as possible.

It's disappointing. It's clear that the author put a lot less care and effort into later chapters as opposed to the first few chapters.

I would rate it as 9-10 at start, but 6-7 later on.

Second i saw technology vs magic I lost interest, these always end with the MC getting an easy ride through everything while all the people in the world act like 3rd graders who have vocabulary of an adult.

And I was not wrong...he just kept getting everything handed to him.

And then someone above me also explained how it does drop off.

"Are you slowly surrendering?", "Yawn. Slowly..."

This isn't english, this is just translating literally one word without regard of the contextual meaning in the original language. So many bad translators are guilty of this "slowly" nonsense, and it's often the sign of the TL quality going down the drain soon.
That puts me off right from the start.

I'm in the epilogue on wuxiaworld and this one is really interesting and unique despite the "I'm reincarnated in another world with a game system / skill trope" which in a broad term it could fit in that category, just not directly has the protagonist roaming the world and acting directly. Don't get fooled by the intro, it goes much farther than that, or simple technology vs faith (which isn't the case in the story btw).
One thing I would have to say is that the skull mask is only a representation after a bit in the story, since its relevant to the decision / context of the story for Nebula, but hey, its not hurting the story.
