sort of reads like it was written by an AI.

This is a boring slog that so far has nothing novel or interesting and no charm at all. It reads more like someone who wants to cash in on the genre with a long series than someone who had a story to share, and it has all the inventiveness and ingenuity of someone feeding a dozen cultivation stories to an AI and asking them to vomit a new one out that’s no less than 9 books. At this point, I’d rather read a unoriginal harem isekia. At least they have amusing characters.
