The Mech Touch

I went thought the pain so y'all don't have to. Story was good for the first couple hundred chapters and then it got increasingly annoying and dumb. The MC's already abismal growth comes to an almost staggering halt for about 2k chapters, then he basically becomes a simp and yeah I just stopped after that. So much potential killed by it's own author

An extremely slow burn High scifi story mixed with elements of magic and cultivation. The main character can't be consider a good person by any possible definition of the word. He is a mad scientist, a war criminal, a mass murderer of trillions of humans and aliens, a war profiteer, a prolific scam artist who prays on people of faith in order to manipulate them, a slave owner and over all mad man with a god complex. He is also very fond of cats. The story has slow and boring points, random tangents, and some very loose logical justifications at times but I find it a rather unique story and compelling read overall. The author probably grew up playing mech warrior games and never got over it.

Very very good novel for someone finished their studies cuz if you wanna enjoy it, you're gonna need the time. Its made for nerds who enjoy mech stuff, if you're in mech then you'll definitely love this.

This is a great story with considerable world building and character development, but it is a very slow burn. There is also a war arc that stretched far more than it should have, but the author learned his lesson and started working with smaller arcs since. This arc is generally where people drop the novel, but I'd say it is worth persisting through it. It doesn't help that the main character ends up in a questionable relationship right after, but that too improve with time.

I dropped this long time ago. No progress on MC, side character are useless, simp simp simp. Only the first few hundreds chapter are good, then the rest is shit, 5k chapter full of shit. Idk why the author still writing, is anyone even read his latest chapter 😂

This is actually a cultivation novel disguising as a sci-fi / mech novel. Well, not entirely, but let's just say the system is a spiritual item that has a will of its own. The MC, Ves, is a mech designer in a futuristic world where humanity has conquered half of the Milky Way. As the story progress, elements from cultivation genre become more and more obvious.

What I like: 1- how Ves keep his cool, many times in the novel he would have died if not because this trait and his willingness to take a daring yet risky move. At least I think I would be dead in those situations for sure. 2 - how Ves try to keep a healthy distance so he wouldn't be too dependence to the system. 3 - some (forgotten) side characters may reappear again later. 4 - the author, Exlor, has been able to maintain a constant release of 3 chapters everyday so far. What I dislike: the story can be dragging sometimes, with so many chapters without a meaningful progress to the story.

(WARNING ⚠️ 1: this is a cultivation novel in the later half of the story that is disguised as a system novel. 2:there is a couple hundred to a thousand chapter long war arc that is painfully boring to sit through. 3: the author writes really annoying women especially the wife of the MC who is an entitled brat. 4:the system is out of the story for a couple thousand chapters in the middle but comes back in more recent chapters.) 

The story very good before the war arc and after he forms his clan. The story has very good world building and the hype moments are some of the best I've read but the lows are some of the most boring I've ever read. The mystery surrounding the compact, the mech professions, ves's parents, and the system is quite good and it's all brought together well.

do not start if you don't want to sit through hundreds or thousands of chapters for the book to be good I only made it so far because of sunk cost fallacy

I manage to read for about 1.2k chapters and stop after that. The Author killed the potential of this book for me. I didn't like the helplessness of MC on every women he encounter in his life, he is most of the times used to being abused and taken granted of women surrounding him. Heck at some point I'm even confused in his preferences where MC sometimes gets thoughts of having relationship with men (i.e. Axelor junkie and Skull Architect) I don't mind any of that its just that a bit confusing but non the less added to MC character. In summary this is a cultivation novel with Sci-Fi settings, there are alot of good plots but most of the times boring to the point you can go ahead and skip few pages.

Yeah it is slow and long. But I never get bored I'm skipped 1,2 chapter's some time but I love this novel. If you are interested in a non repetitive novel then it is for you.

Been reading since it started gradual growth of the MC some may find it slow but is quite in tune with the plot, sci-fi Element in a cultivation LN as it gradually becomes clear over time in LN. Will be reading it till the end of The MC's journey
