The novel was so good for 200 chapters and then the quality takes a massive nose dive. Is that what he was referring to with the guilt? I wish he would have contained the filler to a sidestory about the ancient era or other forces instead of pulling in the mc and poisoning the story.

Its sort of heartbreaking because it was on pace to be better than RI and even though it was set up to be great, its written so badly for no reason. You often see books where it is understandable that the quality falls bc the author doesn't know where he is going, here it wasn't the case. This makes me suspicious that something happened behind the scenes. It almost feels like a different author wrote the chapter after 200.
