Cliche ideas, but who cares? Everything is a trope, at the end of the day; what matters is the delivery. The author did well in that aspect. He conveyed what needed to be told at a fitting pace. The characters do their job but some still need development, which is expected considering the lack of chapters at the moment. I'd like it if the story developed more into the romance between him and Elena. Of course, I don't expect a full rom-com, but I hope for a well-developed relationship. The system is honestly great. It isn't overpowered nor is it too weak. It's balanced, like all things should be. Anyways, I'm looking forward to this.
As someone who has read hundreds of novels on this platform, this one stands out. It’s plot and writing quality are exceptional. Good job.
author is there any Yuri or ntr in harem hope not also is mc op or not and how big mc harem is

I expected more from this up and coming book, but it just feels like a solid story with many points of squandered potential. First The Bad There are so many things the author could've done but didn’t. Mc received a SSS grade swordsmanship talent. But it is simply a Talent, an acceleration not something concrete. There are many points the author could have expanded upon, like restudying sword skills in a reframed perspective, Creating sword styles, copying and improving sword moves from opponents, Creating whole new schools of thought (possible with the most advanced sword talent to exist in this world.) Mc could have gone around gaining experience with his new understanding with the sword, learning from opponents, taking moves from the most unexpected of places and improving upon them to create something new, creating styles to counter others, comprehending a deeper understanding of his own body. But what does mc do with his flagship talent? Picks up two swords and calls it a day. Ironically he uses his talent with the sword like a crude stick. This story barely has anything to do with swordsmanship, tho the story lives up to the name “STARTING with sss rank swordsmanship talent” as swordsmanship is nothing but a kickstarter to mc’s romances and political maneuvering. Also mc has no personal goals to set him apart, he just reactions to the environment. Mc reborn in the past wants to prevent the terrible outcome, and make his house survive and thrive. These are goals anyone in his position would have, but what does He want for his individual self… Mc unfortunately ends up as bland but it is not his fault, he was not created with enough depth in mind. Noticeably very few characters have real depth, even then there are no interesting or unexpected qualities to make them feel whole unlike mc’s hate for goblins which I honestly had my hopes up. And there are no wonderful surprises within the side characters, they are all just one thing, there is nothing to spice up the characters, there is no mix of flavors or the emergence of something real, no one is balanced or unbalanced as they all are just one dimensional making the world feel incomplete. Now The Good Otherwise a solid story. Does not take the generic path and does not make All the bad guys moronic. Also the eye rolling cliches are avoided. The characters are very simple and they are fully their given architecture. Though smart guys aren’t very mind blowing smart, and surprisingly the dumb ones aren’t stereotypical dumb. But sadly all bad guys are unexceptional in intelligence and well everything. Surprisingly it did a notable job at capturing the women in that time period. Usually authors are influenced by modern times and make the people highly modern like every woman is a badass woman or a caricatures of medieval times as a helpless damsels in distress or outright stupid, but this, this felt real was spot on.
First time iam writing a review on this website, I love the novel, finally no absorb shit like all the others.
it's greatt for a first novel but theirs room for improvement 😁😁😁 I believe by reading novel and with time you the author will be able present a wonderful and fantastic story 💯💯💯 (PS : 5.0 is because it's your first novel original review was 3.9😅😅 )
how far have we come these days it's hard to find a mc that's has one proper weapon talent than the 100s of extraction and devour and necromancer and summoner and blah blah blah
Author I'm going to be real with you story is good but the name of the story is ass bro every good story has a catch easy name.
Love this novel but can elena die early shes too useless
The only thing I hate about this book, is that I found it too early. Having to wait for updates is torturing.
Started today on my 5 hour flight and couldn’t put it down. Characters are great, story is well written and MC isn’t a little b***h. Sure there’s a lot of tropes but who cares? If it’s done well then it’s all the key points of an excellent story of which this certainly is. Looking forward to more chapters!
Story and plot is good. I came here for the kingdom building though and was really disappointed. If making soap and absorbing another town is enough to classify this as a kingdom building, then that's dumb.
Great story. Modern tropes seamlessly integrated with classic ones. Simplicity in the power system that leads to an excellent execution of major story beats. With most stories on WebNovel it has become the norm to constantly try to subvert modern tropes by relying on overpowered protagonists while forgoing what makes this aspect interesting in the first place. If a story is not well-written, then does it matter what OP skills/system/concept the protagonist has? Most of the time, this is a resounding no. No matter how intriguing the concept of an overpowered ability or system is, if the main plot beats do not hold up, then the story will always fall short. SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent takes what most modern WebNovels aspire to be and executes it flawlessly. This book eliminates all the unnecessary fluff, Mary Sueing, and plot holes that have become all too common in modern story telling. The result is a fantastic, grounded, medieval fantasy story intertwined with the modern tropes of a system, skills, and regression. This is precisely what readers are looking for and is reflected in the high rating and position in the rankings. Written as of Chapter 284. Thank you for this refreshing story and looking forward to your next works CoffeeKeepsMeSane.
