EDIT of my original NEGATIVE review at 136 upvotes, 3 downvotes and 3 comments:
(holy snap, editing a review will wipe out that upvote/downvotes count, i never expected that)
So it's time to edit this review, not even a couple days after i posted this review and completely forgot about it, the translator explained this behavior noticing all the backlash in the comments and proceded to change it a bit by adding more chapter per week to average the weekly words count and make sure it reach the current standard for the avegare korean novel around this part of the internet.
I do have to change the ratting of the novel (atm) to a good one. However that's the sort of thing that should be hammered down between translator and wuxiaworld before starting a project.

Original negative review here:
I wasn't willing to put a negative review at first but... this is more about the translation than the novel.
The novel is good. It really is.
What i'm reviewing here is the translation ethic. Half the chapters are cut in half by the translation at random points, making the novel's pacing feel goddamn awful. One of the worst out there due to action being stopped mid fight, ect... without any building up. It's abrupt, always frustrating.
And more than that, the word counts is highly variable. This is clearly a novel NO ONE should pay for as for no real reasons, some chapter barely reach 50% of the lengh of others. You could literaly be paying and receive half the content.
I spent 5m copy pasting chapters into a word count software to be sure after reading the must insatisfying chapter in a long time (due to cut) and this one the result:
chap 36.1: 1,434 words 7,995 characters, what pushed me to write this review.
chap 3: 2,609 words 14,578 characters
chap 4: 2,740 words 15,225 characters
chap 5: 2,735 words 15,320 characters
chap 11: 3,068 words 17,410 characters
chap 12.1: 1,478 words 8,372 characters
chapt 12.2: 1,969 words 11,307 characters
chapt 16: 3,125 words 17,961 characters
chap 17.1: 1,721 words 10,030 characters
chapt 17.2: 1,592 words 8,965 characters
The novel is curently at chapter 36. After chapter 11, only chapter 16 and 28 weren't cut. Making the actual chapters count on wuxiaworld 61.
This is really, really scummy.
So avoid this novel before it's completed or you'll be frustated for a while.
