This novel has the worst translation of all the novels in webnovel. Which is such a pity because the original novel is really good with a unique protagonist, relatable side characters and interesting setting... this is one of my favorite novels. That is why I hate the translators so much for butchering this so badly.
Machine translation is much better than this.. a primary school student would be able to translate this better... only way for the translator to redeem himself would be to promise to not touch a keyboard ever again..
Really well told story of an intelligent and cautious MC who can survive in the Chinese mythology that people know of.
The story is well told, and makes sense, with proper thought put into it.
A very good novel , loved every minute of reading it , translation could have been better but i enjoyed the novel nun the less.
Thankyou for wonderful creation
one of the good cultivation's novel on this app .......................................................................................................
It is a amazing books and beautiful page written statement. I love this quality book at amy rime. Am i,all ster this boooks. Ylthis is so looking beautiful creatures.
One of my favourite novels. it's quite funny at first and gets serious later on. There are few cautious type protagonist novels, but this is one of the better ones.
Low-key(tries to be) MC, junior sister who's fine with being naked with MC but not with anyone else(I'm sure I saw this somewhere), and master that tries to make MC do more and I can't say anything more cause I keep rereading the first chapters since this is only 765 chaps. Anyway the characters have a brain, a personality and all that stuff, the world background is done really nicely, everything's great, but it only has 765 chaps. Try to give this a chance, even if it's a Xianxia or whatever world, it's a chocolate bar.
Story is no surface quite good, but when you think about what mc's motivation and premise of the story is mc basically becomes idiot. Let me explain, mc's motivation is to stay low key and avoid karma. But why is he always hiding as the weakest? It's basically just step down from being the strongest in terms of attention he's going to get... This just makes mc look incredibly dumb.
There's always some very simple and very obvious solutions to mc's problem of being low key (like blending into average group), but he doesn't ofc choose those because author needs mc to be picked on to cause some forced development and "comedy".
Overall, this whole situation is played as joke by author, and as always source of the joke is cheap trick of dropping mc's IQ at convenient times. Basically, plot hole or forced plot. It's just quite annoying.
I really want to like this story, as it's otherwise written quite well. But in every situation I'm always thinking "If you wanted to stay hidden, why did you choose to hide as the weakest which is obviously going to be target?" or something along those lines.
Overall, when you think about it, source of both "comedy" and plot development is that mc just very stupid.
Decent novel that starts out well, but got a bit boring for me. I like his ideology of being steady and that's the main interesting part for me. The main focus of the novel is the schemes he uses to influence the major forces of the world. His cultivation improves pretty slowly and even then, it doesn't really matter since he's never really fighting anyone personally. Once his main realm of activities expands outside of his sect, I didn't enjoy it nearly as much. It's not a bad novel now, but not worth my time, dropped on ch336
So, I thought the book was not bad, in fact I would continue and unlock chapters if I could. However, at chapter 39 the book goes premium and does not let me unlock individual chapters, it wants me to pay what amounts to $150 USD to unlock the entire book all at once…. NOT GONN HAPPEN!!!! So, goodbye.
A very good story with several twists and turns, but with most points being logical and having evidence to support it from earlier chapters, not just the author assuming his readers are foolish. By having earlier evidence I don't mean a chapter or 2 earlier, more like so long ago you forgot. The main character has a likeable personality, and is consistent.
A good story ruined by Harem, and especially by the background building based Chinese Mythology. It might be good for Chinese, but for others it's like an outsider listening to jargons gibberish that you can't make head from tail. It keep growing and growing while the MC does less and less amusing things until it really ruined this story for me.
Translation quality : 1star 😡
Another problem is that this story is difficult to understand without previous knowledge on the related Chinese mythology. (Journey to the West and other related stories). that's why I did not give 5 stars for World background.
Also, somthings are not explained clearly and left for your own interpretation of the situation... which might not work out after translation.
However, The story has great pacing, characters and world building.
Very enjoyable!!
This novel is one of my favorites. Love how the MC is being so cautious and so OP but hiding the fact and doing everything in the background.
The biggest problem is the translation quality. The translator keep messing up pronoun, which confused the heck out of me. I wish this can get retranslated.
The story is wonderful and ruined by the horrible name. I have read all the chapters on novelfull.
The main character is exactly how I want immortals to behave. There are no trash young masters. There are no trash enemies. Everything is for a purpose. MC plans things out. MC is willing to wait decades for revenge. MC wants to be 98% sure before he takes action. Against the last opponent, he was 100% sure before he took action. Very good novel.
The setting of the story being based upon mythology is pretty interesting and it is fun to see the protagonist fit in and change the general trend of that mythology. The characters are interesting enough to get attached to, and a the story is both funny or sad at times. This novel is very entertaining but there are a lot of editing mistakes that make it a headache to read sometimes.
Great alternative view into the mythological Chinese classics with characters that don’t have to follow stereotypes. I wish their was a key/glossary for the names of most of the classic characters (not original characters) that had every large/popular story with those characters in them so I could get a better idea of them from multiple stories/angles.
