Shameless Author Review! If you love sci fi future cultivation novels with a strong but broken female lead then this is the book for you! The novel has the action, the ships! and some crazy plot twists! (maybe not in that order) Anyways please give it a try my dear future reader ❤️❤️

it is fun to read at most. i love the characters, plot and story.the only downside that I can see is the lengthy and repetitive physical descriptions of characters or somethings.

I'm 400 chapters in and can't force myself to read more of this maybe this book isn't for me. Everything feels half-ass like all the ingredients are there for a thrilling plot but when it comes down to interacting with Mc doa. Biggest drawback and reason for dropping it feels like a self insert and so many moments just suck you out of the plot things that just feel out of place. I would read another novel by author if I stumbled onto it but so much feels out of place in this one.

This is one of my favorite stories on the platform. World design is done extremely well, obviously it’s Sci-fi fantasy but everything makes logical sense. Also, there is an actual plot and it’s not just random events happening, or poor decision making from the protagonist creating enemies. Sophia is an engaging and relatable character, looking forward to seeing where it goes. For the author, please don’t stop writing

I really really enjoy this. I tend to read manga more than novels nowadays, but this both takes me back to my childhood where I devoured book after book while also giving me the curiosity towards the world I feel when reading one piece or the beginning after the end. Even if something is forshadowed in the most obvious way youd imagine the way its executed can still catch you offguard! The only reason im not giving this 5 stars in writing quality is that the writer massively improved. The beginning is way weaker than the current writing is, which does skew my perception of that a bit. There are some inconsistencies and a few pacing issues in the beginning but it got improved quite a lot and I cant wait to see more of the world and the characters! This really has potential to go on for a long time and Im here for it!

So far it was good. The world Building, futuristic modern society with the cultivation and magic thing were great. concept . The Multiple POVs , chapters about their normal day interaction is also good. The characters and the mc are well introduced and show ,the only downside was the wrong explanation of author that he/she going to give our mc an attitude who only do what she want (Saving who she loves and doing for their sake) but when the chapter gets some dark and bad moments the mc start to act and give a HERO SYNDROME who felt guilt to her decision, being weak and not able to help those "Slaves" even though she know that world she lived is harsh and survival of the fittest was the main rule . So thats it author really got me there and my interest to this novel are starting to fade. I'm not that fond reading naive/Saint/idiot MC who wants justice for everyone even tho their universe obviously stated that strong always on the top

Hmm. I read about 140 chapters and have very ambiguous feelings. The beginning here is "typically Chinese" - transmigration in heiress of a house with a weak talent who is bullied by everyone and a mysterious bloodline, activation of the main character's cheat and ... there should be slaps in the face.... lots of slaps, cheats and cultivation. But something went wrong... after the full of action exams arc, a piece of life came. Romance. Plot POV. Friends romance POV. Family relations. Fun with friends. It's not that I don't like it, but... I didn't think I'd ever say it, but the work really lacks a hero who will soar above the heavens and slap all young masters in face. PS I rarely read Sci Fi, because I hate mechs.. If someone also has a similar problem, then don't worry, there are no them in fact. PS2 I was so hoping that the heroine would be in a bottom in yuri relationship... But the author, unfortunately, reversed the dynamics.

This book is okay but it has some quirks. while the characters are interesting they can be really cartoonish. like the "villains" are written as irredeemable people with no self awareness. they don't feel like actual humans. Some of the dialogue can be very edgy like something a middle schooler would write. what's keeping me going is the non-villan characters and world building. the world is interesting and Sophie's relationship to her dad and peirs is fun. Author if you see this read vampire system and when they transform into bloodsuckers. it's similar to Sophi but done in a more "elegant" way . keep up good work

First of all, the writing quality is great since it was really easy to read the flow of the story, and although there were a few grammatical sentences, you can still read it like a flowing water. The development of the story was slow-paced but it has a good potential. The world building was specially great and it made the whole story interesting to read. One thing that really botheres me was how the author force relationship on the protagonist... like how the relationship between Cleo and Sophie became how it was... there was no struggle or obstacle at the beginning of their relationship... and their relationship felt very superficial to me... although they both prioritized each other but with how their relationship begun... it just felt too lacking with the beginning of their relationship... on the other side, Sophie's (MC) relationship with Astrid, Qiana, and Rachel was very understandable... the four of them have that special event where they became close because of their environment and circumstances... but the author chose to separate these four and only left MC to Cleo which I think the heroine. However, I like the plot of the story.. it was interesting... but the romance was a little lacking, although, the author made sweet flirty and fluffy scenes between MC and the heroine... but still felt too lacking and it just felt like a shallow relationship... I was a little disappointed with the romance considering that it has a yuri tag.

So this Review has been a long time coming, and I'd say its about time I throw mine into the mix. A TLDR will be at the bottom of the review for anyone who wants a shorter version of what I am going to say. I have to say that after the many arcs and chapters of this book, it is the one I love reading the most. I have encountered plenty of amazing series to read, such as Chrysalis, Reborn: Evolving From Nothing (If any of you amazing readers were around when that was still updating), and a few other of my personal favorites that I have sitting in my Reading List, but I'm rambling on; I'll get back to the point. Among all of those amazing series, this novel is the one I love reading the most. I'm normally skeptical of 5-star reviews, but this one is well warranted. I am a bit loathe to go into a section review of each aspect in which we rate areas of the book, since I am inherently put off by that when I look for reviews myself, so I'll try to focus on the areas that matter. Writing Quality is probably one of the best you will get. There are no issues with English and translation like you will see in most other novels' authors, and it is always consistent. Our beloved author updates very regularly and communicates with their readers a great deal. On average they update about every 1.5 days. The Story, Characters and Background are incredibly written and so well done. All the characters are remarkably human in their actions. You can always understand why a character would do something, and how a certain action or experience changes and affects their choices in the future. The characters are ever-changing and never stagnate. Every character grows both physically and psychologically, and it is never rushed. The main character Sophie is always relatable and it is so exciting to see her grow as a character and how she affects the story and the people around her. I especially enjoy how this novel does not follow the classic Isekai-standard procedure of focusing on the person's past life and their knowledge from that world; treating it like an incredible ability that constantly keeps them ahead of other characters. Instead it focuses on Sophie's growth in her life, character, abilities, and her ties to her hybrid heritage, and her ascension among an anti-hybrid nobility and the world around them in a constant state of flux with a universal war. The story and arcs are paced very well. No stone is left un-turned and no conflict ends in an unsatisfying way. The story is not rushed at all and is in no way a power or revenge fantasy. This novel truly commits to its characters and understands where to hold back and to keep the readers wanting more. The action and fights in this book are just as good as the political tension going on in the world, and the heartwarming moments with friends and family. You grow to care and sympathize with just as many villains as the ones you'll most definitely want to strangle with your own hands, and their justice is just as satisfying to read. The world is filled with so many amazing moments and emotions of comedy, sadness, love, hatred, tension, technological wonders and overwhelming powers. Political manipulation and despicable plots. It has a perfect mixture of racial and status discrimination you see in most fantasy worlds, of its power scale is centered around cultivation and combat techniques combined with racial advantages with NO SYSTEM in sight, and of the type of comedy and love you would like to see in a setting fitting for young adults in college. It is mostly mature, so please don't interpret it like characters will be stupid and dense. TLDR: This novel contains every bit of realism and fantasy that you could ever want from every type of setting and relationships you could fathom. This is such an underrated novel and should honestly be in the Top 5 of the Leaderboard on here. Its writing, characters, story, and world-building are so amazingly done that it outshines nearly every novel on this platform. Give it a good 20 chapters and you'll realize how special this novel is compared to everything else. I encourage you to read my whole review as well to get a better picture. Happy reading!

What can I say? I'm simply speechless (more like can't coin my thoughts together). Aside the updates on chapters, I used to think the plot was somewhat simple but... I was hopelessly wrong like my Dear Author is Hopelessly Romantic. Living in a setting; treachery, cruelties, insanity, vicious cycles, conspiracies, illusory realities, palpable negativity, you name it; one must always thank their luck for the time they've remained alive literally. This novel is... irresistibly indescribable. Thanks so much for making my day as always!

I am sure this is my first and number one novel my journey with this novel from first chapter to till now is great I never felt bored some made me bored but this never however the best part of this novel is this is not a Herm because I feel like there's no scope for love and relationship between two people in Herm it only about mc doing romence with partners I like monogamy that's a point to click me to this so much but as a reader I want chapter s between Cleo and mc though this is my selfish request and I wanna read when mc meeting her mother that will be really exciting overall this is great novel if I am able to give more than five I wanna be first 😋😄

I honestly quite like this book. I managed to read this from the beginning until chpt 405 in 3 days. It has that hook that kind lures you in the deeper you go and immerse yourself in this world. It shows the struggles; it shows the emotions; it shows how the strong can feel weak and how the weak can be strong. I do not consider it as an overpower character when the main character is well devolped, where there are still parts you can resonate with her. Nice fluffs and carefree chapters are available. I can't wait for it to plunge down deep again and see where this story takes us. It's never a dull moment.

I like it, the characters have their flair, and I am only at ch48 but I want to keep reading. It uses tropes but its not unoriginal. Its just a refreshing experience after reading system story #133 and VRMMO back in time #132, I can finally feel like I am not wasting my time while constantly wondering why generic garbage is so high in the rankings...

Great story. Usually a novel starts strong than gets slightly worse. Cultivations especially have a problem with power creep... This one was a surprise! Not only the story doesny lose its attraction but the usual MC power boost come with actual real cost rather than the "fake prices" just for drama. But the best past are the characters. They feel alive and individually important.

By far my favorite novel on the app, I love the world building and slow pased story. Updates are consistent and of a great quality. Worth every dollar I've spent on the coins to read all the chapters as they come out. Being gay, si-fi novels have so few main characters I can relate to so the romance gets a big plus from me.
