Author is often unassuming but which reader knew author's prowess in selecting and spinning magnetic words into fantastic chapters making up this oh-so-delicious tale as entitled. Thanks so much for such a delectable story. Expressions and mechanical accuracy have room for improvement to further enhance the vivid imagination of the tale.

For awhile i thought they were gonna drop this story. But they brought it back. Looking forward to it because they have enought background where its not overwhelming but is just right so it doesn't take you off track.

I'll be quite honest the world and characters are great, i really like the brother sister duo, but it was destroyed the moment it was decided his stats would be taken, utter garbage

One of the annoying things about this novel is the constant flashbacks to explain something. It just breaks the flow of the story doing it this way. The next annoying thing is that the MC is basically getting nerfed in the first few chapters because of his d0uche of a brother for no discernible reason. The little sister is no better since she’s basically a leech who only makes trouble for the MC and not even respecting him even though he’s looking after her. It’s amazing that the MC despite having tens of thousands of mana didn’t even have a ****** attack based mana. I know that his Masters reason was for him to get the basics but wouldn’t teaching him how to defend himself while out in the wilderness be common sense? I don’t mind the MC suffering a bit and get stronger because of it but mishap after mishap just makes me think it’d be better for him to just die to put him out of his misery. The stability of the updates is good but there are some unusual word choices and minor spelling mistakes that I can ignore.

One of the worst stories i read in a long time.filled with plot armour.the mc is partially dumb and retarded with feeling almost similar to ****** towards his sister who is a cocky,ungrateful,b*tch. If you are going to read this i warn you - the author has a very weird and twisted sense of love .

The way the author forces in flash back in basically every chapter is seriously annoying. It just breaks the flow of the whole story and makes it all seem awkward just to dump in info, and sometimes the info is useless. I rather you make a few chapters at the start to do the info dumping, and provide the background of the world than forcing bits and peices of it everywhere. In general, the plot is progressing slowly, with some bs here and there but its ok if you want to pass time

Pretty weak story with horrible characters.Mc gets random power ups and passes every impossible fight just by thinking of his sister and getting plot armor.Wierd disgusting ****** relationship between mc and his 10 years old.Constant flashbacks with no relevant info in the middle of a chapter for no reason.

I like the story but the author gave me headache. Every chapter have a flash back like when you are watching na/eu actions like 'arrow' or 'the flash'. And its annoying, well i can read up to 7 to 9 hours straight but with this novel...uhm i can't... Too many details to process in one chapter. Its worth giving it a try i guess. Maybe its just me who hates this kind of format. Well, thats it.. I hope thats for an honest review..

I dropped this novel, the story have a good premise, but the way the author writhes makes me puke blood. The POV change so much that i want to punch the screen and with the number of flashbacks combined you could write another book. Every chapter there is a change is the pov that totaly breaks the flow of the story. The protagonist is the self-image of every tenage shonen manga protagonist and his sister is anoying as well. Good luck with the novel and hope you improve your skills 👍

You have to be patient while reading this novel. It starts really slow. It does not start in a direction you expect (the title is fitting, but a bit deceiving). The story gets a lot more interesting and speeds up after a while, so give it some time and goodwill. It is worth it.

Sir Flow, I have read until chapter 5(included), so this review will be based on your first five chapters. Writing Quality; I didn't come across typing mistakes, but there were a few missing words. There were some unnecessarily wordy sentences, but I have never bothered myself with it when reading. I think sometimes even wordy sentences are necessary. You know better than me, sometimes who have to use that word, and your 'wordies' aren't smirking to the reader when reading. :) There are three more serious points in your chapters(Not in your writing quality). Chapters are toooo long. I picked a random chapter, copied it to the Microsoft word, and it said to me there were more than 2.5k words. That isn't actually a problem, but when combined with your too long paragraphs and unnecessary descriptions, it is deadly serious. With short paragraphs, readers will find it easier to read, and it will help retain them. Readers find novels via phone app and website. If you have large paragraphs, readers will find it harder to keep up/read. You are describing almost everything in a scene. You should categorize them under two subjects. The descriptions readers would care and wouldn't care. 'Forcing myself to read' term comes from these mistakes in my opinion. Considering your writer carrier in Italy, and you having an editor, my rating for you is 3.5/5. Stability of updates; There is nothing to say. You released 86 chaps in just 94 days. It is a 5/5 in my book. Story development; In my opinion, this is the most complicated aspect of a novel when reviewing it. I have read only 5 chapters, some of the authors even reading less when reviewing. We can't know what will happen in the story. I mean we can be suddenly in a reverse corner in the face of an event in the stories development and everything before the event can gain meaning instantly. I'll only judge one point. Why did you put the flashback in the second chapter? And a long flashback at that. You could put it in a later chapter, or you could keep it ******. The sword picked up my interest in the first chapter, and puff! It disappeared in the second chapter. That's why I am giving you 4/5. Character design; Again it is early to judge with only reading 5 chapters. All I can say everything is looking normal in the first five chapters. As long as the characters don't have contradictions in their characters, it is ok. So, 4,5/5. I didn't give 5/5, because they aren't perfect. World background; Some things weren't clear enough, or I couldn't understand. Are they in a game? If not, is he aware of his system? Or is it everyone's system(like a shared interface)? How much mana does Helial have? These kinds of questions kept popping out in my mind. I won't be harsh about world background since it is early for an accurate judgment. 3.5/5 for the world background. P.S; Story is good actually. After reading chap 5, I had the feeling that things will get lively. If the novel didn't have the negative points that I had talked about earlier in this review, I would read it, honestly, despite not having much time after me becoming an author in webnovel. One more thing, Sir Flow had said before, the original story has already reached more than 300 chapter count and it is number one web novel in Italy. I believe your current self is much different from the you from years ago. Keep up the good work :)

I absolutely recommend this novel to everyone. It is one of my favourite novels and even though the plot starts a bit slow, if you keep reading few more chapters, you will realize it is definitely worth reading! The characters are well characterized an what makes this novel so interesting is the fact that it mix game elements with cultivation world elements.

The start is quite compelling. The novel begins in medias res, so you're thrown into the litrpg world right away. Skills, levels and stats occurr from the very beginning. The first narrative arch is mainly about Helial and his little sister Lumia. Things liven up soon enough. As the first adventures unfold, you immediately grow fonder of the main characters. I would recommend this novel for its enthralling plot. The flashbacks and the humor are the strong points. (Lasagna for president). The only weakness are the secondary characters in the second narrative arch (as well as Vidio in the first one). It's not like they're not well-written, I just personally didn't appreciate them much. Maybe it's just the main character who outshines them

Great story. Much more interesting than 99% of stuff of this site, Even though the first arc suffered from numerous random flashbacks and the ****** thing is getting a bit tiresome the MC's journey is good enough to keep me invested.

no sé ---- tu historia parece una combinación entre trama de Japón Shonen e historia China de varios cultivos. pero en vez de explicar mejor; llenas de trama en charla .............. .......... .......... ........... ............ me gusta que pase cosas cada cierto tiempo bajo cierta modalidad. en el cine, te das cuenta que la modalidad es lo que hace interesante la historia. cada pequeña toma de algo minucioso que lo hace distinto a otro.

Oh well, what can I say, I like my novel a lot and I recommend it to everyone :D Book 2 (chapter 45 onwards) is probably much better than the first. Cherry and I really worked hard on it and tried to fix the inconsistencies in book 1. I really hope we will be able to deliver the paperbook in the next weeks. It will be available on amazon.com We have a lot of italian readers but I really look forward to see how our novel will fare in the international stage. Have a good read!

This novel is a perfect mix of standard chinese novels with immortals and videogame-like life. This novel has a level system with abilities, classes and so on like a videogame Helial is a poor teenager that lives with little sister all by themselves in a small town since she was a newborn. He works to gain some money to be able to mantain his sister and him, he also train to become stronger so that he can improve his sister's life. They have a bigger brother that abandoned them. One day Helial got cursed by a mysterious sword that reduced his strenght stat to 0.05x. After that... This is just a summary of the first 1 or 2 chapters to let you know the background In my opinion this novel is just beautiful, well written and the character design is superb, if you start you will not be able to stop reading, the first chapters have a lot of flashbacks, then the story starts and becomes better and better. I also love the fact that some historical and mythological characters are revised and present in the novel
