Astral Apostle星界使徒

Can't agree more. But i should say that TLM had weak start and only space things made it masterpiece lvl. Will see how it will going after mc meet core of real world.

There should be warning: don't do your expectations high.

There are only like 70 chaps, isn’t it way too early too judge?

Yes you are right in every thing you say but unlike those other novels that take this premise and after some time mess it up this author has a really good novel under his belt so I think he will do it justice

The only thing I disagree with you is that Cats are never overrated

Fantasy Simulator is quite bad though. Actually Fantasy Simulator post Earth destruction is bad. The previous parts are quite decent , fresh and innovative. But after that event it is like the author changed to one of those classical chinese cultivation brain dead authors.

Also bold of you to assume anything about AA when we don't even know who is the antagonist or the vilain. We haven't even seen a shadow from them. To think that the plot will continue as is is straigth up naive. So far the worlds the MC has visited (two at he moment) are really low level. The second one especially barely had any real supernatural masters. The first world was objectively way stronger. We are basically still in the tutorial stage. Saying that AA is Fantasy Simulator : easy mode shows how little you understand both worlds. Forget about the fact that we know to little about the AA universe. Chen Heng has always been getting things handed to him from the start. Indeed he has worked hard for some of the stuff he has but he has also handed a lot of things for free. Moreover in my opinion at this moment his cheat is way stronger in the regard of acquiring strength faster than Zhou Qing. A simple example of this is how Zhou Qing's third apostle is "stuck" in his cultivation due to the lack of cultivation knowledge. In order to progress he would need his apostle to die , inherit his cultivation progress , acquire more advanced cultivation manuals and then have his apostle to practice again. Overall he has way more restrictions than Chen Heng.

To be more precise of the situation the Astral Shuttle goldenfinger is just more complicated than Chen Heng's Simulator. Due to this it might seem stronger but there are a lot of pitfalls. With more complex operations , you can get more freedom and potential but you are also burdened with the fact that you need to know how to correctly use it. For instance , Zhou Qing needs to correctly judge when to turn an apostle into an eternal apostle. He also needs to consider the fact that he can't shuttle freely. Currently the beast world is unavailable to him. If Bill didn't have an accident , he would be stuck with only one apostle. His first apostle is still stuck in the beast world and we don't even know if he can recover him or if needs to wait for the reallignment. In this regard the auto-pilot mode of the apostles isn't that op. You need to consider the character of the apostle , Chen Feng is reckless and has a fiery temper. On top of that you have the character synchronization. The lower it is , the more unreliable the auto-pilot becomes. A simple showcase of this is Bill. When you put an apostle in auto-pilot , it isn't like putting a General AI in control of the apostle. It is more likely that you get a year 2021 algorithm in charge of the apostle. If for some reason something happens outside of the set parameters , you are screwed. The auto-pilot also can't adapt to the changing environment. Bill kept making the elixirs he knew despite being able to create better ones. The reason for that is because Zhou Qing didn't foresee the situation that he wouldn't be able to shuttle. Even if he did , it might not necessarily possible to combat a situation where he can't shuttle for extened periods of time. I will repeat again that Zhou Qing is still in the training village. How can you claim that AA is Fantasy Simulator : easy mode when you have no clue about the actual universe of AA. Not to mention the situation is just different. Zhou Qing will have to deal with the scenario that he can't shuttle due to gravitation storms , apostle that haven't become eternal thus he can't freely inherit their abilities, etc. Lastly he hasn't met or has an inkling who he will be against. If it is one thing sure for AA is it's world building. We are sure that the author can at least deliver on the area. Overall your review is quite unfair for AA given you are trying to compare apples with oranges. If at least Fantasy Simulator had preserved its quality I would be more accepting of your criticism but post Earth Destruction the quality has nose dived.
