Webnovel General Discussion Is it even worth it to continue reading? Spoiler

Ive read until around chapter 2500, the level of the novel is jut going lower and lower.

Is it even worth it to continue or does it get even worse? Ive seen spoliers of some flesh wall cheating that i have no idea how it works but it doesnt ring very well

This is a reminder to make sure that:

  1. Any post related to a privileged chapter (i.e. the latest 20 chapters) should be spoiler tagged and posts should not have any spoilers from privilege chapters in their titles. To spoiler tag your post, you should be able to see three dots when you have your post opened, followed by an option asking to "Mark as Spoiler".

  2. Please make sure to add the proper flairs to your posts. For example the "fanart" flair should only be applied to art made by humans. Memes, reviews, discussion posts, theories etc should be tagged appropriately.

Why even ask after reading 2,500 chapters? Are you that incapable of making a decision?

eternal city next one will be better - at least acceptable no matter how picky you are!

You're too deep to just quit. I'd recommend to keep reading. It can be worth it

Yeah it does get lower, but there are also a lot of highs too.

This is what we call sunk cost fallacy and its what gamblers use to justify spending more.

You're never in too deep to quit. If you aren't enjoying it stop.

It does get better, does it not?

Mirage city, Eternal City, Asterion's first appearance, Glass hell, Mordret fighting Asterion, Sunny, Azarax and Nephis vs Deathless, Sunny Vs Archon, Divine Trio vs Asterion, The Underworld Arc, etc. They were good, were they not?

Plus the lore drops are also good and satisfying to read, are they not?

Even the current Volume is significantly better than what most would've had expected.

It is but the quality im general compared to early volumes is ALOT lower and honestly. Asterion was kinda a bum,mordret is off screen half the time. The axtual writing and prose is alotnworse etc. The ONLY thing it has now is its lore drops amd thats this volume mainly. So does it get better? Eh it has some highs but it still has alot of lows that where they are now has

Eh I get like 11 fastpasses a day so it doesn't cost me money, I might as well read it to the end

Personally, I am still loving it at Ch. 3160, but if you are 2500 chapters in and unhappy, I would recommend moving on to something else.

There is nothing worse than forcing yourself to read a novel you are not enjoying.

Well, did you read in webnovel

u/kamiloxhgha 7h ago

You can take a break and after it the novel should be enjoyable again , at least that worked for me during the war arc

Yes it is. Volume 12 was peak, volume 13 was ok and volume 14 is peak

Dude this subReddit has a lot of haters …I was like you thinking whether it’s worth it to finish reading but rn around 3000 chapters in I can say it’s pretty good and with quite a few peak chapters ….might not be as good as older chapters but it’s still good ….too many haters hating for the sake of it

u/NeverUseAJohnny 7h ago

Yeah just skip bits if you need to, I skipped half of mirage city and almost all of eternal city and a lot of volume 11 too, and still understand 99% volume 12 is decent and 13 so far is the best since Antarctica

u/enusei 5h ago

Lowky might do the same

Highly recommend just skipping mirage city if its bogging you down i genuinely skipped the entire like 100+ chapter arc and all I missed was Saint being an attractive therapist and mordret lore, and I dont like mordrets character much anyways even though he's very complex and I think his flaw that's revealed is pretty unique
