Damn, that's like 3 chapters that I skip almost entirely.

I wonder how many more time the author wants to waste.
And I wonder how much more bullshit I'm willing to ignore before dropping this.

Sooo, I know the MC is OP alone already, and was even more so before, and that the title of the story is "The Constellations are my Disciples" and all...
But did they mean ALL THE FUCKING CONSTELLATIONS ?!?

Like, is the whole goddamn pantheon submissive to the MC ?!?

Yeah, I have no clue what this is about...
I guess I'll park this in "On Hold" for another 5 years, and check back on the whole thing again then...

Why did he protect the useless army guy?!?
Killing the Valvas knight would have been more beneficial... that useless general that can't even follow simple orders would be pretty much better off dead.

Posting links will delay the message for a while.
Your can find it yourself, it's translated by infinityscans, and they are currently at chapter 149.
I don't know where he found chapter 150 translated, I checked everywhere, couldn't find it.

The Korean publication just released chapter 151 yesterday, by the way.

Man, that was kinda incredible, how everything was framed for that cliffhanger.
I could actually imagine all sounds suddenly cutting out for the last 3 pages.

But I have no idea who that Grim Reaper is...

I was so happy when the lust dude got killed quickly.
I thought "Good, this shows the progress of the MC's power without being too long"

Then we got a flashback about a DEAD character no one cares about, for clearly already way too long...

You see, what makes characters relatable is having some similitude with their situation with our real world.

This has gone so far beyond that, that I can't relate to anyone. I actually don't really care if something happened to the people in this story now.

Real world in danger by otherworldly beings >> Gone, now it's just a fucked up planet being invaded by fucked up monsters.
Real world family drama with supernatural things happening >> Gone, now it's clear that they will never be a real family, they are just related fighters.
A father regretting his life, having a second chance, and doing everything he can to make it good >> Gone, his actions don't matter anyways, everything happening is out of his control.
Miscommunications that break the family dynamics, that could be corrected by proper communication >> Gone, it's not even his actual daughter doing this shit apparently, his current actions have no impact at all.

It feels almost like the author is actively fighting against his own characters to force the plot he had in mind, no matter what...

Soooo, General Liu Bei, founder and Emperor of one of the Three Kingdoms (yes, Those 3 Kingdoms), is now a medic... just how much did the MC change history, at this point....

The original publication just released chapter 42 part 1, so the translator is a few chapters behind.
Also, they announced an anime of this mid af story, releasing in October of this year

Well, now, I've actually read a lot about Ādam and Ḥawwā because of this, it's pretty interesting.

Hawa, as used, isn't really right.
It's חַוָּה in Hebrew or "Hava" in modern Hebrew. Same in Latin, Persian and Greek.
In Arabic حَوَّاء is romanized Ḥawwā, which is close to what we see here, and that's probably because of the restrictions of using a non-Korean name in Hangul.

Hava later became Eva in Latin, which ended up as Eve...

In almost every case, it's not a name, it means something significant, like in Hebrew, it means "source of life", or "mother of mankind" in Arabic... but became her name in later years, when Latin became dominant...

But in short, now that I know, it's a lot less impressive to use Hawa in the context of the story... as the English name should be Eve.
It's like using William the Conqueror's character in an English story, but using his actual original name, Guillaume le Conquérant... It's kinda pointless and pedantic.
Especially when the name is used by a white man with blond hair...

Oh, and it's not a translation error...
In the original text, the name is written:
하와
HA WA
If the author wanted to use EVE, he would have used the name:
이브
I BEU

Hawa means "mother of mankind", she doesn't have a name in the Islamic tradition... so it's really perfect in this situation.
Obvious narcissistic pervert man choosing to go with the mankind origins where there's Adam and an unnamed woman...

I really wasn't expecting this in this kind of story.

You know, I recently understood that a good story is usually a series of events that goes like "This happened because this happened because this happened" and so on.
And that bad stories are usually "This happened and then this happened and then this happened".

The difference is subtle, but has big consequences.

This one is clearly and firmly in the second category...

Well...
I was kinda pissed for the flashback, as it's pretty badly used recently in almost everything I read...

But I forgot, flashbacks can be good too, if the pacing is right.
I liked this one.

I fucking knew it.
This is getting so boring.
This story is starting to follow the following pattern, and that makes me kinda hate it now:
Make a plan for 3-5 chapters -> immediately fuck the plan up -> boring predictable shit happens -> status quo maintained, situation stays the same

If EVERYTHING that was put together for a plan is ignored, what's the point of showing us what the plan is in excruciating details?!?
And this time, the preparation wasn't even 3-5 chapters, more like 15% of the whole published story...

Yep, knew it.
This story is taking the path of the trash.

When authors don't have a clue what to do to prolong the story, they go immediately to useless flashbacks of character we really don't need to know about their past history...

I guess this will go on for at least 2-3 chapters more. I'm skipping that, for sure.

I'll give you one thing, I didn't consider that her future self could still be controlled by the phoenix, that's actually a valid argument, and could very well be what happened....

But about the present, that's not what was written on the pages, that's your bias and interpretation of it.
And like someone you might know said before:
"Not everything goes as you want as you're just a reader, it's up to the author"
(I'm quoting you, btw... sarcasm is kinda hard to transcribe...)
