The Mech Touch

I went thought the pain so y'all don't have to. Story was good for the first couple hundred chapters and then it got increasingly annoying and dumb. The MC's already abismal growth comes to an almost staggering halt for about 2k chapters, then he basically becomes a simp and yeah I just stopped after that. So much potential killed by it's own author

This is actually a cultivation novel disguising as a sci-fi / mech novel. Well, not entirely, but let's just say the system is a spiritual item that has a will of its own. The MC, Ves, is a mech designer in a futuristic world where humanity has conquered half of the Milky Way. As the story progress, elements from cultivation genre become more and more obvious.
What I like: 1- how Ves keep his cool, many times in the novel he would have died if not because this trait and his willingness to take a daring yet risky move. At least I think I would be dead in those situations for sure. 2 - how Ves try to keep a healthy distance so he wouldn't be too dependence to the system. 3 - some (forgotten) side characters may reappear again later. 4 - the author, Exlor, has been able to maintain a constant release of 3 chapters everyday so far. What I dislike: the story can be dragging sometimes, with so many chapters without a meaningful progress to the story.

ok as most novels at the start its a bit too wordy for explanations so the good parts are when he advances to journyman and has actual powers and makes a bigger impact on the galactic scale. The description of his customers are always my favorite. IT starts out as a business building to a bit of cult, elderitch horrors, empire building, and epic fights. I suggest you speed read through the war arch as it dragged on too much. Also for his love interest is it such a interesting dynamic where it isnt a harem, but ppl do hate her.

One of the best but not for everyone.

It is right to point out that it is an Epic that understands and takes into account the passage of time.

So we will have a protagonist who starts out as a substantially immature boy until he grows up, gets married, has children, etc., with very important growth and psychological changes that will persist following events that will leave their mark over time.

Initially, the protagonist begins with a "system" that will be substantially abandoned over time, even if not completely, as the risks of using it will be understood, thus departing from the original genre.

The world and the structure of the universe is original and extremely important, solid to the point that it can easily stand on its own, which will be enriched as further discoveries on the dark side of this futuristic society are made.

The mc is neither good nor evil, in reality I find him with extremely realistic behavior, he pursues his own goals, he is not intrinsically evil but he will almost always put himself first.

It is a novel with over 5000 chapters, which does not rush to give you everything immediately, and it is clear that with so many chapters some arcs inevitably slow down or do not maintain a constant pace.

However, for better or worse I have been following it since it was in chapter 100 and among science fiction novels for me it remains the best (and I have difficult tastes in science fiction).

I didn't really like the course that the novel took after the great separation, but the author tried hard to give a coherent context in the technological aspect that followed, mixing two genres that in my opinion have nothing in common .

These are events that happen around cap 5000 that clearly change human society.

For the moment, the drift it has taken continues to work

I dropped this long time ago. No progress on MC, side character are useless, simp simp simp. Only the first few hundreds chapter are good, then the rest is shit, 5k chapter full of shit. Idk why the author still writing, is anyone even read his latest chapter 😂
