The Autor here, I think you will like this story if you are a fan of cultivation novels with action, adventure, harem, and world-building. If you read the first 30 chapters, I am sure you would not be disappointed, as long as you consider yourself a fan of the genres in the novel's tags.

Cool story about a shady man using his power and influence to take advantage of the absurd potential found in a young child and the poor soul (ha!) that ends up being caught in the middle of it. There are a lot of interesting twists and fun ideas being set up in here. The start is a tad slow with a lot of exposition and not that much character, but the actual set up is fairly interesting and opens the potential for a lot of cool stories.

THE MC DOES NOT GET INTRODUCED FOR FEW CHAPTERS. First off the start of the story dragsssssssss on. Although it felt alright after reading more of it, I would suggest a rewrite of the beginning or at least add something to show who the MC is. Because I did not want to support the Duke and other people. The other Negative aspect of the story is that the action is on the lower side. However, there are many redeeming features. I like reading the way the story is told and a fleshed-out world with an interesting MC a clear goal and enemies. The story has a political climate and an interesting plot. The best feature of this story is the MC for me. He is cold-hearted to enemies and you do not get bullshit fights because of his pride but calculative strikes that destroy people in his way. The Harem is on the large side but everyone has a clear role in his life and is not just a collection. Although his relationship with them does not develop too much, this is understandable though as he reaches the proper age by the end of the first arc (~100 chapts). After this the romance buds very well. There is a comedic and suspenseful plot. Reading it in big chunk is recommended. The Authors dances around the MC stealing other's women, if you read the story you will understand. Overall if you are here for the same repetitive MC fights the young master then his older brother then cousin and grandfather this is not for you. There is an actual story and many interesting aspects weaved together. There are areas that it could improve but overall it is a very interesting story with something for you. The author is not shy of creating dark and light moments. Overall the story will keep you in a positive mode, although the MC can be considered as a redeemable villain in most Japanese style stories.

This novel is a good read and refreshing compared to other ones of same genre. Especially with how the author used the "Reincarnation" trope here. I loved some of the MC's tricks and schemes and they way he uses his brain. If anyone asked me what is the one quality in this novel that stood out, I would say its the world building in this novel. It has been thoroughly detailed but I feel like it also caused a slight drawback since things were too detailed or maybe the novel focuses on it too much. I hoped to see more action and drama or maybe the novel is designed to follow the world building way. Coming to cons, I feel like the novel focuses too much on politics and less action. Also I feel like the MC is a 200 year old grandpa with the way he acts with his "wives" and potential girlfriends. I mean he seems way too mature for his age even though I know he had some "experiences" from his memories and stuff but still I felt like it made the character a bit boring or bland I might say. I wish the author could just look into this part. Coming to the romance part, same issue as above. Because of his character its a bit tough to see good romantic chemistry. And some relationships seemed a bit forced. If I might say the way I read it I feel like the MC feels "obligated" to spend time with his girls instead of "wanting/desiring" to spend time with them. I don't know if the author would get what I am trying to say. I just wish the MC would have more romantic feelings and attractions towards them. Or I might say to make him more proactive. Anyways besides these cons, it is an enjoyable read and I know how tough it is churn out chapters every day. I appreciate the author's imagination and hard work for coming up with this novel. Hope the author keep's up his good work! [img=recommend]

The story was progressing not too fast and I am able to enjoy its right pace. It was hard for me to distinguish who is the MC but I am still on the first few chapters. So I will read again. I like how you narrate and it was a refreshing read for me. Please improve more on character design to make it more distinguishable for the readers. But hey! don't be down. I gave you an over all Five stars. That's for your hard work you've put for your work. I can really feel that you've put it all in this novel. Might as well check out mine called "Waking up in undead world". Please leave a review it and once again, Happy reviewing!

I have read 6 chapters of this book and found it interesting from the first chapter itself.. The writing quality is good, A few mistakes in grammar which do not interfere with the flow of the story. As far as the stability of updates is concerned I can say it seems good as already 80 plus chapters have been published. The story is developing nicely. As far as the character design is concerned it is developing well to, I feel that the maximum emphasis has been on the world background for which the author has taken a lot of pains. The description of the scenes is extremely vivid and can be easily pictured by the readaer. All the best, Author!

This story should be ilLeGaL! That introduction... At first I was like, oh another one of those same intros, and then the author came in with that one line... I've been imprinted since. The beginning of the story is unique and sucks you in. The pacing is a bit slow and I have a little bit of a problem with the harem, but I'm not a fan in that in general, despite that though I read this. There are little to no grammatical errors and the sentences are smooth. You nice,keep going!

Finally a cultivation story with good world building! Even the monsters in the story are explained well. In most cultivation stories, the monsters are just there and not explained. Can see that the author really put his soul into the story and you can feel the immersion fairly quickly. Highly recommend it and will read more.

This is what you call an Excellent Cultivation Novel. One thing the majority of web novel lack is the reason behind all the stuff that's happening, I mean there is always intentional ambiguity associated with a story but it's the author's job is not to let them become plot holes. The author is doing a wonderful job here. For every action, there is an explanation. I seriously never thought that cultivation can be looked from a logical perspective, at least in the web novel. When we talk about MC, we see in the initial chapter that he is deceived(actually trained) by his own larger self. So this brings out a very realistic trait of people being who think they are at the top of the world, The MC has yet so much to learn. Other characters are also very engaging. My personal favorite is White Duke because of his cruel and sharp actions and he isn't even ashamed of it. The length of the chapters is precise and I like it. And I noticed that chapters do not overload your mind with lots of information, they can be read very easily. So no need to worry about the info dumps. The world background is great and smooth as it gradually presents us with characters and plots. I can't stress enough how well this is done by the author. Neither do I have a problem with the choice of words and vocabulary used in the chapter. A great novel with an engaging plot, I must say that even if you're not a fan of cultivation, this novel can be your hook, line, and sinker. An interesting read with an interesting execution. Can't wait to explore what more in the store for us.

Pretty nice novel! The story development is a bit slow in the beginning, but it's all for a good cause. No complaints about stability of updates or anything. Superb world building as well. Just a tip, don't advertise your Patreon at the end of each chapter. Use the Author's Thought for that, or just include in the book synopsis. Another thing is you don't have to put 'Chapter 1' in the chapter names, Webnovel does that automatically so if you do, it will be a repeat and look kinda awkward. Other than that, fascinating story and intriguing concept. Keep it up, author!

These reviews don't really make sense because the story is not yet complete, but this is my initial rate for the author to show my support. Keep up the great work, and I hope that you can see this story through the end. Cheers! If you're interested, I could use some of your help too with my beloved work, WAR GROUNDS (all caps please. The original version got bugged).

I'm not that confident to use cultivation in my own novel but you executed using it properly. I also loved the detailed explanation about how the world works in your novel, plus the harem part is funny. Good Job 😊

Definitely a hidden gem, Author has done a fabulous job writing this. The story is well done, taking cues from overused cliches and tropes, such as a soul transmigrating into a body and taking it over, or cultivating two opposing forces. And yet it's surprisingly refreshing and weaved right into a compelling story that hooked me straight from the prologue. And best of all, it ain't a cookie cutter novel like most others which somehow happen to be more popular. Grammar wise, there a so few hiccups, there's nothing to complain about. Trust me, I've seen worse. What really got me is how satisfying it was to read the story. Each chapter felt complete, like a chapter from a paper book story. A lot of other novels, mine included, often have short chapters even when they have over 1000 characters. The author, however, somehow managed to make reach of his chapters filling and wholesome while keeping it exciting and mysterious (at least for the first 14 chapters). After that, the story picks up and you just want to read more and more. If anything, I can only say that there wasn't enough chapters for me. I've already reached chapter 30 and noticed there's only a dozen or so chapters left before I catch up.

Nice premise. Author has good quality writing style overall, though some parts could be smoothed out a little. The author has crafted a unique world, and the first chapter draws readers in immediately. Looking forward to seeing the author and story grow!

As a fan of fantasy novels, I would like to say that this really is a well thought out story with an interesting plot, fresh and not like those stiff characters. I like how the author describes the scenarios which most authors tend to not do, only focusing on dialogues. So far, after reading the latest chapter, I think the story development is also good. The writer has a diverse choice of words which I believe is also the reason why I enjoyed your story. I recommend readers to try this novel once and experience the fantasy world which is built meticulously by the Author.
