    Although I think the plot isn't as outstanding compared to some other books, it's still quite good. What stands out more is the novel's creativity, bringing Earth’s ideas and technology into the magical world, giving it a fresh feeling. It's not like some of those mindless, "feel-good" stories. Another notable point is the clear and logical structure (though with a touch of fantasy). The absence of a system might be difficult for some readers to accept, but for someone like me who prefers no system, it’s more appealing

    It's very impressive, clear in thought, and highly creative. When explaining various magical artifacts, the novel appropriately includes details about how they work and the principles behind them, which is something I really appreciate. I hope the author continues to maintain this level of quality. Of course, this is just my personal view, as I especially enjoy stories with imaginative and inventive concepts.
    Additionally, I’d like to offer a suggestion to the author. In the story, with the method of spreading the faith described, there are bound to be a lot of ordinary people involved. If there are too many people, passing along messages could become troublesome. Wouldn't it make sense to have something similar to a mobile phone? My idea is to create a kind of network base station that operates using magical fields or to launch a rocket into space to transmit signals. Initially, you could start with something like an old-school mobile phone without a display to save time since inventing new things requires time. But, of course, it could also have a display if you wish. The author can imagine other details freely. My idea is just a reference.

    First, in terms of the plot, the story tells how humans are enslaved by the gods, while the non-human races are eradicated by humans. The MC will lead humanity through the industrial revolution, to resist the gods' oppression, and create the Mechanical God Sect: "Create more efficient machines, liberate the human workforce, increase productivity, create wealth, and achieve equality for all!" In fact, it’s also about the characters. Whether it’s the portrayal of the MC’s personality or that of other characters, they all have distinct traits, making them more vivid and engaging. Especially the MC, who possesses wisdom and courage, constantly competing with the elven saint Herbie. Despite the huge disparity in power, the MC manages to create a balanced living environment. As for the much-discussed magical industrial revolution, the MC, when writing about the combination of magic and industrial revolution, focuses on integrating the elements of magic with industrial foundational theory. The MC, with his superb knowledge of magical theory and his past life experience as an overworked scientist who died young, creates a magic-based industrial system that has its own distinct characteristics. Battle scenes: The army under the MC is more like the kind seen in Tanya the Evil, where magic is used for aerial combat, but it's more comprehensive and refined. The soldiers' armor resembles the basic combat suits from Sword of Daybreak, and I am very satisfied with it.

    It’s a very creative book! When the entire world has only the protagonist who can’t use magic, then use technology to defeat magic! Imagine a mechanical god, using divine power to create weapons that ordinary people can also use. What? Using magic causes memory loss? The journey through another world involves a shocking secret? So far, I’ve read over 29 chapters, and it’s indeed a great book. Although it didn’t quite have that eye-catching effect at the beginning, with the buildup in the earlier chapters, the later content truly impressed me. The characters’ intelligence is on point. The character development is rich and detailed.

    A very interesting story! From the get go, the characters and world setting are well established, giving a good sense of what is to come. The main character’s motives are immediately established and well shown, creating a good sense of tension and anticipation.
    The grammar and structure of the writing itself could use some revision, but quality is more than fine, being easily understandable and readable. The message and emotions are well conveyed, with a good flow between dialogue and description. While there are moments when a bit of “showing” would do better than “telling” it doesn’t take too much away from the story. Moreover, the dialogue itself is well done, bringing the characters to life and making them individuals rather than static pawns to be pushed around.
    The strongest aspect of this story by far, though, would be the magical descriptions. If you enjoy details magical works and such, this is definitely a story for you. The detail goes in depth regarding things like elemental balances, magic circles, formulas and so on. On top of that, the blend between the idea of technology and magic is fascinating and makes for a more unique experience.
    Overall, a good and satisfying read!

    Overall engaging fantasy world. The magic system in this story is quite unique and interesting, with even more layers of technology. The story reads naturally with engaging characters, immersive fantasy setting. and lots to explore.
    What I liked:
    Tech fusion has original twist. I often find tech magic fusion makes the two functionally similar. The protagonist of this story has privileged access to the tech because of teleportion creating interesting differentiation.
    Herbs and ingredients and different genres of magic and different tiers of mastery all make excellent academy setting.
    Elemental coins are cool way of blending economy and magic system.
    Characters have strong personalities and natural dialogue.
    I would like to see more of:
    Worldbuilding detail. The academy feels a bit isolated, and more clues about architecture, food, culture, geography, etc would build it out.
    Visual descriptions of the magic, and first person accounts of magic going wonderfully right or terribly wrong.
    More Suspense or action hanging over scenes, whose events sometimes feel "low stakes" without being more connected to larger plot.
    I would like to see less of:
    Exposition from the narrator. The story sometimes feels more like reading a textbook about magic than a story in a magical world. While I appreciate the complex information to communicate, I would like to see it done more through action and lessons and trial and error.

    I like your overall premise, but a major thing that, I think, you need to work on is to show, don't tell.  You start off with a lot of 'telling' narration - "He had the position mainly due to his extensive theoretical knowledge of magic, which made him suitable for teaching beginner magic apprentices. -- When he awoke again, it was Shi Lu who had taken control of this body"  Yes, narration is a very quick tool for setting the story, but it doesn't really enthrall the reader.  To make a suggestion, start the story with Karian teaching a class, show his extensive theoretical skill, and his hesitation and deflection when asked to demonstrate practical skill.  That gets the reader interested in him, why won't he do magic if he knows all about it?
