Description
At the center of the world, on Mount Olympus, the King of Gods, Zeus, smiled and looked down on the realms with his Spear of Lightning tightly in his hand. Before him were a pantheon of deities. At the Silver Hall in the north, Odin overlooked the world on his Almighty Throne, with Gungnir in hand. In his eyes were an endless field of wind and snow. On the Nile River in the south, Amon who was at the helm of his sun boat cast his eyes toward the Aegean Seas, at his feet were a mountain of bones. In the land of the two rivers, Marduk, the Lord of Light and Wisdom, held the eternal fire and gazed upon the Western Lands. King Gilgamesh, his hero, brought to Greece his oracle, and his ships covered the seas as far as the eyes could see. Finally, at Plato Academy, a youngster named Su Ye walked up a mountain and reached its summit.

My Thoughts on The World of Deities
"The World of Deities" is a novel that's been bouncing around in my head for a while, and having finally delved into it, I've come away with a mixed, but ultimately positive, impression. It's ambitious, blending ancient Greek mythology with a cultivation-esque system, and while it doesn't always stick the landing, the good parts are genuinely captivating.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the unique premise. The idea of gods and demigods from European myths coexisting and influencing the world is fascinating. The early chapters, while slower-paced, are dedicated to world-building and philosophical concepts, which, for me, was a welcome change from the usual trope-laden beginnings. The MC's introduction as an intellectual type who prefers to solve problems with his mind rather than brute force also intrigued me.
What Works Well
What I appreciate most about "The World of Deities" is its clever integration of real-world knowledge, specifically SWOT analysis and other lifehacks, into the protagonist's strategies. It adds a layer of realism and ingenuity that I found refreshing. The magic school arc, in particular, is well-executed, feeling more like an actual school with genuine challenges and less like a simple power-up montage. The author clearly put a lot of thought into the cultivation system, basing it on Greek mythology with clear level progression from human to demigod to god. I found the characters to be well-developed and the world-building expansive.
Areas of Concern
One recurring issue that I noticed is the potential for the MC to be overpowered. While he's portrayed as intelligent and resourceful, his "golden finger" cheat and occasional reliance on external help can sometimes undermine his achievements. Additionally, the relationship between the MC and the female lead progresses slowly, which might frustrate some readers. Some readers may find the early interactions with antagonists to be predictable.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "The World of Deities" is a worthwhile read, especially if you're interested in Greek mythology and a cultivation-inspired system. The unique world-building, clever protagonist, and integration of real-world knowledge make it stand out from the crowd. While the pacing can be slow at times, and the MC's power-ups might feel a bit convenient, the overall story is engaging and thought-provoking. I'd recommend giving it a try, but be prepared for a few bumps along the way.
