I love this author. All his cultivation books are well thought out and have such cool and unique concepts to cultivation. Cultivation novels usually have an element of repetition, but not here. He refreshes us with new paths of cultivation and adds unique elements to make it more refreshing.
If you like intricate cultivation systems and cold MC's, this novel is most definitely for you. I had/have a lot of fun writing Ryu and GAB martial world and hope you have as much fun reading :)
50 plus chap and the author is still torturing the mc, one of the most boring novels so far. I'm skipping some and see if it changes, but so far, it's trash
250 chapters in Have to say the novel is unique for the a cultivation novel and that the author has put a good amount of thought into the plot for the story. The first 50 chapters are good but at the same time rough they serve a important part to the story but reading the perspective of a mc thats just getting abused the whole time did for me get a bit annoying and felt like it was going on for to long. after that for around 100 chapters story was pretty good and can say I enjoyed what I read, But as I started closer to around the 200 chapter mark I started disliking things with the plot more and more having to do with the mc. Mc cultivation progress is moving at a snails pace, he keeps getting stronger with being able to cross more realms to fight others but his actual cultivation grade hardly changes. He starts training in multiple area's before really ever mastering what he was already working on specially when he decideds to train in very unconventional paths like duel weilding spears, halberts and glaives. Took the mc hundreds of years to fully accept his relationship with his first wife. He acts coldly to someone that tells him they have been waiting for him for hundreds of millions of years and that you are there life partner. But yet he sits in the wrong seat in hall and suddenly decides he needs to take responsibility for a girl just a chapter earlier he was deciding on to take revenge on there clan or not like tf? Also author if you see this you should add a introduction chapter or in the summary of the novel explaining cultivation ranks I still don't know them. Saw comments about you saying just go to a wiki of rise rising and risen to see the stages in order but I couldn't find anything going over cultivation ranks,there was hardly any information posted on the wiki.
I have read upto chapter 265. I can honestly say i got tired of keeping track of his cultivation issues. MC has 4 bloodlines, three kinds of power system, uses multiple type of weapons (which also needs individual cultivation for each). That in itself is already a handful but, you are still trying to make him do other kinds of cultivation. while still keeping his power realms the same even though he can fight people with levels way above him. To top it all off you introduced the MC as someone very smart like being able to figure out peoples motives, playing with people or finding out clues to lost and forgotten realms/ruins from folklore. BUT he keeps making mistakes that are common sense. his accumulated age is more than a thousand years Sir author, I can tell you have thought alot about this novel given how detailed it is and how you try to explain everything. But its getting too toxic.
I'm disappointed. I Read until Chapter 165 but become so bored of the story developed... There were few Dialogue and so slowwww🙄 I like the story lbut this is not my Cup of tea. . . . ? ... .. . .. .F. .. D. D D. D. .d. D
This work is yet another amazing novel of Awe's and it shows. This novel is as exciting and enticing as his other novels, maybe even more so. The writing is fluid, easy to understand and extremely vivid, each scene or fight is very well defined and it's pace is not too fast, nor too slow. The story development is arguably slow, but there is no moment in which you will be bored with just fillers. The character design is good, the author perfectly describes the feeling and emotional state the MC goes through, making it easy to relate. As for the other characters, they are also well defined, each with it's own personality and motivations. As for the world development and background, Awe didn't spent a lot of time on it, and it unfortunately shows, but to be frank the world building doesn't have to be excellent.
*Spoiler* Pathetic. I just want to vent, at first I enjoyed the story real good and thankful that I found this work. But now the story development became all about making the Ryu(MC) suffer. He suffered all kinds of pain, whether it's psychological, physical, emotional etc. and now the very reason he even committed suicide, that reason where his hope came from, why he gambled his life while not knowing if he'll be qualified with that Sky God Inheritance in his first life and several more who knows how many else he got. His effort was all for a naught because for the sake of story and characters development, nerfed–he became a cultivation cripple and as a bonus his edge on prized bone structure which boasted godly cultivation speed was thrashed to slow down. In the end, I'll never drop reading, maybe I was just fed up after binge reading his continuous suffering. Aside from that, I'll recommend you to read this and following his suffering too.
The “challenges” of the MC are a bit forced and the authors writing style info dumps loads of paragraphs that if you skip them, will mostly not affect your reading of the story.
Intricacy is nice for a few chapters but taking the entire free period to impress an idea is too much. Huge potential for story acceleration but I just can't, with a clear mind, gamble on this tortoise speed storyline.
story is good and all but the fact that the MC has to f**** every girl that takes a liking to him is kinda a turn off for me and not just a one night stand but he has to make them his wives?? IDK it's kinda too much for a guy who says all he says about his real wife
In my opinion, like all of this authors works, the MC is tortured to oblivion. Progression is fine if there was ever a point, and normally the point is to achieve victory or a good climax otherwise known as "Face Slapping". But this is just borderline plain masochism. There is no pleasure in reading this novel so far. Just livid darkness. Sometimes, painful and frustrating events are tolerable to read in novels like this if the conclusion of an arc is satisfying enough. But as with this authors other books so far, this one is the same. It fails so miserably to give you that moment of victory. TLDR: A depressing waste of time.
Story is pretty solid and has potential but pacing is abysmal. Story drags way too much and mc progresses very slowly. Way too much filler rubbish that can be condensed. Feels like a slog way too often
1000 chapters in and the story just got worse. Now MC's cultivation regressed do bad and is scrambling around trying to find ways to unlock his talents. There's also the huge plot hole of him recultivating, it's honestly baffling. Meaning the plot halted and there's no progress. So all of the things that happened are mostly forced plots. A bit of a spoiler around 1050 chapters. He arrogantly infiltrated a place thinking he won't get caught. Well he did get caught and not once but twice. The first time he got caught, he somewhat escaped. But on his hubris he got in the second time, thinking he's slick and won't make the same mistake twice but he still got caught and he's very much exposed. Not only that, he exposed his most valuable treasures there. Now he will definitely get chase all over the place. The worst part? Even when he got caught for the first time, he never prepared any escape measures. He only started doing it when he got caught like some complete ret*rd.This is the quality of writing at this point so a fair warning to the people who want to read this. This author clearly lost and just making things up on the way.
I just read to about 200 chapters but I can't continue, I tried, but the pace is so slow, his cultivation is so low, yes, he can fight people way above his level but I dunno, it just isn't for me. Author did a great job with the writing though, I especially love the first few chapters, they got me hooked!
Review (minor spoiler) This is a book that is different from the vast majority of novels found on this site. For one it isn't fast paced and can even be seen as a little slow. I found the pace good but for impatient readers that like action every chapter this is not the novel. A key thing is that the MC is actually likable unlike most. It's a cold MC so some may not like it, but the MC has actual feelings towards people he should have so it's nice. The MC is also perceptive and for a character on this site he is considered big brain. The story has some logic for a cultivation novel and there are some burns that would require some primordial ice to be applied. I would recommend reading to chapter 60 at minimum and not give up to soon as he the first 60 don't have combat or cultivation really. It's around there that the hype hits like a truck. I recommend that you give it a read. BIG SPOILER (for those that don't really care) The story also does a good job with it's reincarnation. MC loses his memory but the story doesn't reveal it for a bit and actually hid it pretty well. Also don't worry MC gets memory back after a bit and actually doesn't do the weird thing of treating new parents as actual parents despite losing his memory.

I understand the need to have struggles for the mc but making him fail his cleaving his meridians after making one way for him to do it is crazy! Author makes mc struggle to much just to get one powerup. It makes you think that no matter what happens in the story with his talent he’l always be beneath what he should already be Other than the part about the mc having to struggle with every breath and no break the novel is fine. World building is great!
I realy like Author's other work, and, at first, got realy into this one as well. But, after a few chapters, the MC got the briliant idea to dual wield two-handed weapons (Spears and glaives) and to stack multiple cultivation technics for the same level. This realy killed it for me... I mean, two isn't always better than one, especially so when talking about two-handed weapons.

a good story with an extremely nice and intelligent mc - book started with an interesting emotional and philosophical load, but the tournament part was disappointing without any logic, boring and useless - after good chapters , I was eager to read the revenge ... there came the tournament which was a cold water bath, added in nothing and made me lose the will to read . But it's a very good read, you can enjoy before the part of the tournament - in the tournament the story decays, it's more to fill, if you jump does not lose anything, if you read you will disappoint and even stop reading. If you like the book, skip that part, it's useless and you won't miss anything.
INITIAL THOUGHTS: -As someone who has read over 2000 chapters of "Reaper of the Martial World" and also reading "Dimensional Descent" I am both biased towards seeing him in a good light and judging him harshly for what I don't like. With that being said I hope my review helps those who are on the fence about wanting to read this novel or not. WRITING QUALITY: 5/5 -Having 2 other books being written he has got the writing quality down. It's on the same level if not better some of my favorite long-standing authors like "Cocooned Cow-True Martial World" and "Jing Wu Hen-Ancient Godly Monarch". Anyone who has been in this space for at least a couple of years has seen the influx of new authors causing quality to become sporadic like a heart rate monitor. Be at ease with this novel. STABILITY OF UPDATES: 5/5 -Despite writing 3 books at once he has kept it consist which is what want we want most from our authors. This is assuming quality doesn't diminish which I stated before hasn't. STORY DEVELOPMENT: 5/5 -Epic would be the shart answer yet I know you guys want to know why? Well based on the synopsis you can see the MC is starting off at the pinnacle of the Cultivation world which begs the question if you cant go up does that mean you go down? In this case yes you do. The very bottom at that. -Now here's where it can be a make it or break it for some readers. The 1st volume which sets the stage for the story is 30 odd chapters which can in some people's eyes be too much. Also, he doesn't exactly begin cultivating at the start of the second novel which can lead to some more people dropping off. So I ask readers to stay for at least 60 chapters before writing this book off as "boring" or other such nonsense. Great works are not made without a foundation that can handle the immensity of the task at hand. -By the end of the second novel and the beginning of the third where I'm at you see the foundation is really fleshed out. Much mystery is still there of course however you have enough to chew on keeping you wanting to devour this masterpiece some more! -Overall If you want quality story development then give at least read up to 60-80 chapters. You won't regret it CHARACTER DESIGN: 5/5 -This is what I believe the author has gotten the handle of. I might not agree with his choices of character development, but that doesn't take away from the quality I read before my eyes. -The MC within the first volume starts off with many great qualities and some obvious flaws as well which leaves room for development. He has the best cultivation foundation one can ask for yet that is handicapped (temporarily) by one core aspect which would make it truly perfect. To compensate he delved into several side passions which is a pro. This however left his cultivation knowledge stunted which we see later on in volume 2. -The MC in the 2nd volume is becoming more aware of the flaws he has because of his overall circumstances. This leaves room for the MC to develop which is a plus. -The MC at the beginning of the 3fd novel is introduced to someone very important who for his own good ruthlessly shows him his glaring flaws and is someone who despite being born in the best clan actually in many ways is still immature and naive to the ways of the world. Who despite learning so much actually knows so little still. Hopefully, his coldness will be warmed to a degree by the recent edition of someone who shares a life with him now. It's been noted he was once warmer yet due to hardships he got colder and harder. Now if he could rediscover that warmth while keeping the cold that would be fantastic! -Other than the MC's his family is well developed and others close to him as well. After volume 1 we have yet to see many characters stay with the MC. Only one for now if any more at all will join considering his cold personality. WORLD BACKGROUND: 5/5 -Very detailed throughout so far without needlessly dumping info on you. This for many authors is a challenge. How much is too much info? How much does the situation call upon to explain the situation in clarity while leaving some mystery? This author has it down once again. OVERALL: 5/5 Read it or regret it. Let that sink in!!
