You’re Reading “I Am Not The Machine King” on WuxiaWorld.Site
This was an age of Spiritual Martial Arts where martial artists could awaken spiritual powers of different attributes.
Lin Yuan accidentally arrived on this world and awakened the super rare mechanical attribute spiritual power.
[Heat Cannon] [Freezing Mecha] [Mechanical Armor] [Battleship Fleet]
Lin Yuan looked at the system’s faint understanding of mechanical power and clicked his tongue.
“What a shallow understanding. Anything can be mechanical!”
I made it to ch. 13 before I decided I had to leave a review. This novel is PERFECTION(Not really, but better than the average trash)! If you don’t give this novel a real try, I hope your cat scratches you(lightly) and your dog craps in the most obvious spot in your yard. I may be evil, but at least I have no regrets.
I made it to ch.20 and all I can say is “wow”, its really good.
First 40 Chapters: Good
TLDR: This is pretty cool so far. I like it.
{Ratings: Terrible – would NOT recommend to anyone, Bad – it’s something you can read but it’s not good, Decent – worth reading if you have nothing better, Good – enjoyable and would recommend, Great – would recommend to anyone}
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a cultivation novel, if that’s a problem turn back now.
Main Character:
Died and reincarnated in another world {What? No way!}. Extremely hard working and dedicated in the background, and finally his body is strong enough for him to really develop himself properly. Has two spirit seeds: Weak fire, strong [?] mechanical. Mechanical spirit energy training requires a sufficiently developed body or it will wreck the cultivator instead of strengthening them, hence his delay. Because Reasons [?], he never mentioned the mechanical seed to anyone until now.
Story:
The characters aren’t just one dimensional and useless and their interactions are well done, for the most part. So far there have been a few minor arcs and while it’s mostly sticking to a typical formula (training > exams to get into school > etc.) it’s developing well; it doesn’t feel like just a copy-paste. Combat flows fairly well–it doesn’t drag endlessly, and there aren’t “impossible to dodge or block” attacks thrown back and forth constantly (which are of course then dodged and blocked…), which is a nice change.
Worldbuilding:
It’s a cultivation novel, so there are a lot of common tropes, but it feels a bit different. All the setting and background information feels like it’s introduced pretty naturally as it comes up without interfering with the story. There aren’t entire chapters of exposition, but rather maybe a paragraph here and there as it connects to the story. Cultivator powers are logically consistent, and while we don’t know much about the political situation in the world I expect we’ll get to find out more soon.
25 chapter review:
I’d give it 7.5/10. Put simply, if you want a novel to read but don’t know what to read, try reading this and see if it fits.
It’s quite good in the sense that there’s no OPness (yet?), and no bullshit. The pacing of the story is good. The details in the fights are also well done.
But I’ve seen many novels that started as a good novel and became garbage so my expectations aren’t high.
But do give it a try! If you have nothing else to read or your favorite novels haven’t been updated then this is a good one to read.
hi
It looks like it didn’t get picked…. Damn webnovel…
finally something worth reading and bookmarking
4.0 star clearly author trying to nerf cm
not become so op not bad but not so good with rare spirit fire , mc has mech fire spirt (long range) reverse of metal fire spirt close range.
30 chaps in
It’s really good compared to the latest 2-3 months release, at least to me.
1 point is NO UNREASONABLE SYSTEM
2 point is MC’s intelligence
That’s what’s important
This is super good. I hope this get picked.
And I say his understanding is shallow since he’s apparently never played Planetary Annihilation.
Fuck! Why does all good novel doens’t get picked instead trash novels were!!!
No idea what the people around here are smoking but this is subpar trash at best with the cringe cliches of all Chinese novels in the first 10 chapters…
