This webnovel is an absolute masterpiece. I've spent thousands of hours reading webnovels, and I am pretty sure there's many on this website who've done the same. This goes out to those avid webnovel readers like me, I guarantee this novel is worth reading. I am gonna try and break down the novel into it's elements and explain why you should/shouldn't read this. PROS: 1. Regarding the characters: Characters are well fleshed out, even side characters. They actually seem like human beings with emotions, goals, interests. Also, there's no ridiculously dumb 2-dimensional filler characters/villains. Unlike other webnovels you can't read 2-3 lines about a character, and instantly tell whether they're common mob A, a villain whose just gonna be MC's "stepping stone", or some sidekick to unconditionally bend over for MC. Avid webnovel readers know what I am talking about. 2. Regarding the plot: The novel is dynamic, and intriguing because it's hard to guess what's gonna happen next, and there's an actual sense of tension for the reader. It's not one of those novels where the MC starts out against the weak villains and the strong villains only come out of the novel after MC has powered up enough to handle them. Plot twists in the novel actually make sense and aren't there just because the author thinks it's about time to throw in a plot twist. As far as I've read it's also great that there's no blatantly obvious plot holes. 3. Regarding the MC: The main character isn't cliche MC isn't an extremely talented supreme genius. He doesn't have an unbreakable will to move mountains. He doesn't have an unwavering heart of justice. MC isn't one of those you've insulted my petty pride so I am gonna murder your entire clan, kill all the women and children, raze the buildings, and kill the dog. Nor is MC one of those perfect do gooders that's gonna help every side character that's nice to him/he likes. He's not gonna be like "You gave me an apple so I am gonna protect your family from the demon king and turn you into a super powerful fighter capable of destroying mountains." MC is human. MC is relatable because you can imagine yourself being capable of doing/reacting the same way in those situations. MC is looking out for his own interest and trying to stay alive. He's training to grow stronger to survive, but his growth is reasonable and understandable. 4. Regarding world building: The world/environment the author depicts makes sense and isn't something unreasonable/unimaginable. In fact it makes more sense than common cultivation novel depictions of the world if cultivators existed. There's no walls of text describing the ungodly beauty of a garden/lake or how huge a mountain range that's only gonna appear once in the story is. Descriptions and world building are to the point, enough to let the reader learn more about the environment the MC, while not boring the reader. 5. Novel has humour and a bit of fan service in it: In my personal opinion I also like that the author balances humour and tension throughout the novel. Plot and tension is good, but the author also includes a bit of "fun" stuff for the reader to enjoy, MC doesn't stay a virgin just because he's a complete wimp. CONS/CON: As far as I know most of the people who didn't like/didn't continue reading the novel stopped because of how dark it can be at times. MC is coldblooded, and it may be off-putting to those used to reading novels where the MC is a champion of justice. MC here won't hesitate to use any means at his disposal to achieve his goals, ABSOLUTELY ANY, and I say that without the least bit of exaggeration. You're gonna read many novels about so called evil MCs, but the MC in this story makes many of them pale in comparison. In Conclusion/TLDR: If you took the time to read all that/skipped everything and are wondering whether to read it or not, read the first 40 chapters. You're almost certain to get hooked.

This is the first WN I’ve read on this app and I’ve read around 50 other WN’s inbetween this WN and the review (I used other sites to read WN’s until I actually made an account), so my memory might be a bit hazy in terms of story development and world background. Writing Quality: 3.7/5 If I was the author I’d use a broader range of vocabulary, be more descriptive (quantity), and just have a detailed description (quality) if things like the surroundings, fights, etc. Writing Stability: 5/5 Not much to say here, 7-8 chapters a week consistently which is very good imo. Story Development: 3.2/5 Some plot holes here and there but nothing too major to the point where it’s detrimental to the story. It’s still too early to comment on this since this WN feels like it’ll easily be over 1000 chapters. I just hope the pace doesnt skyrocket out of nowhere and just becomes like your average cultivation novel right before the typical “holy continent” arc. Character Design: 3.5/5 It’s an odd mix of some characters are bland, some have an alright design, and some feel like actual humans. The MC has some dumb things about his personality like being overly paranoid of the system and his sponser. This category was originally going to be a 2.5/5, but after reading the recent chapters it looks like the huge main female cast might finally be getting some character development, so I decided to bump it to a 3.5/5. World Background: 3/5 From what I’ve read so far this has the potential to be a 5/5 if the author plans ahead carefully and doesn’t rush the rest of the story. In general, we haven’t been told that much about the world and beyond it, but it’s clear that the author has plans to talk about everything more in depth later on in the story. This is my completely objective review so even though i gave it an overall rating of 3.6/5 that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t entertaining or that i didn’t enjoy it. When VC reaches the 550 chapter mark I’ll update this review and make it way more detailed and in-depth, but until then the review stays as is. I hope everyone that reads this has a good day, cya💯

This story is truly something! It delivers what the author claimed and that’s what i was here for. The first 3 Volumes were excellent imo. But i feel like the author got much hate and than he just wanted to finish the novel so he rushed the ending to be done with it. It’s your choice Mr. Author what and how you do your things but honestly you should have just ignored those haters. I mean everybody who is reading till chapter 500 is here because they like the story in some way so you ahould have poured through with it. But I also understand, if you have no fun in writing anymore because of this. At least you gave us the 5th Volume to have some Ending although you can see that you didn’t enjoy the writing to the fullest anymore

I love villain cultivator and it pains me to give it a 1. In fact its my favorate webnovel yet. But, the author just suddenly cuts it off at volume 5... He left volume 5 a cliffhanger... Apparently it continues after a time skip but I'm really ticked off.

Not a great story to pick up unless you are already familiar with the genres and references it relies on, because you will probably be lost. But if you are familiar and enjoy there is plenty of fun here.

It started of really good. The side character has to kill the protagonist, and how he has to slowly strip away the fortunes of the protagonist one by one. The build was also similar that he would have to do that for different types of protagonists. But this only happens for the first one. Then he becomes the protagonist, and the story derails. This is also fine. But then suddenly, out of nowhere, around chapter 400, you see the end scenario. The MC was in the lower world, with his cultivation base at just the 5th realm. It felt so rushed, and it felt like a completely different novel. It no longer felt like a system novel. All the things about the Devil and Luck and System should have come much much later. I would have preferred to see him deal with various protagonists in various different ways in the cruel world rather than him becoming one and having his own plot armour (one that he did not make for himself). And so my review, is it a good novel? Yes. Does the novel become something different later on? Absolutely.

Love the story so much. It's so sad knowing all the build up so far it getting cut at such a crucial moment. If only we didn't step into the new arc and end the story with Vol4, the story would have been so much more complete. For new readers, I recommend you don't bother with Vol5 or else you'll suffer like me.

Stopped at chapter 117. Already 1/7th into the novel but our MC hasn’t even made it out of the tutorial quest yet. If you’re here for wish fulfillment and OP satisfaction, best look away. So far our MC has enemies everywhere who can snuff him out with a breath, plus the whole system thing controlling him in the background so he can’t even be overpowered. Plus the fact that he’s an idiot. He even says it himself multiple times when he finally awakens from raging for no reason or just being ignorant. A shame bc I liked the whole premise of having a mob character who would destroy the protags.

This story, is great at the start. It is great, the mind of an ex-fighter in a new body with powers. After some time though this is lost in favor of thinking with his lower brain. then things get odd and never recapture what it had at the start. the system is fun and the concept behind it is interesting, the MC starts out interesting as well. His starting LIs though, are kinda meh and get sidelined often. On top of blending together, this is one of the aspects that gets better as the story goes on. Life is given to these first LIs, though this also marks when the story goes Multiple POV heavily. This is a great concept if you want crazy with pleny of wish fullfilment and I hope the author takes what was learned in this story into the next one. this might make for a good revisit after the new story is done and prefect it.

Great novel! I am approaching the end... How much longer will privilege be up? You don't even write anymore. Broke and still want to read, happy to pay coins but please take down the privilege if you are not actively posting. Other than that, it seems like I won't be able to finish the novel until privilege is gone :(

I almost feel like the summary of the story is intentionally misleading. The MC is formerly a 60-year-old, but continually acts without common sense many times, especially after supposedly reading many wuxia novels and being aware of tropes. It also feels like the author loves to treat the MC as badly as possible, and will try and make up any excuse to do so. The MC asks for directions, and others attack and try to rob him. He goes to a bar and SURPRISE! That bar just so happened to be set up to attack and rob people. He goes to a brothel as an honored guest of a powerful person, and is actually treated WORSE than normal customers. Aside from being drugged, he nearly freezes to death, is forcefully stripped, and interrogated. Talk about the royal treatment.

Great book until chapter 75 When he starts brainwashing and enslaving innocents, and the system says outright it wants him to keep doing that with everyone. just disugusting, raping and enslaving enemies is okay, But not innocent

The story and its development are so good it's full of twists and turns. It isn't some one-dimensional story where the plot and the charters are predictable. Although it is one of the harem types it doesn't just make them worthless or you would mix them except for a few of the girls that he cures from the start. The world is organized but chaotic at the same time truly showing that the world and the whole universe are not at peace, especially around the mc. Although the story is fun, complex, and exciting it is updating at a fast speed. I love the story instead of there being a pyramid and the mc slow climbs and get strong to fight stronger enemies as time goes by. It starts with him being surrounded by strong people all the time and not having the power to be free but instead always gets pushed around and isn't in control most of the time

When I think about webnovels I always think back to this book, I can safely say that this book is my favorite and will always recommend people to read it. If you like character development a cultivation system that keeps you guessing with the new information you get on how the system works and the mystery of the universe then this is your book! After having caught up to the book I have been getting on every day to read the next chapter excited to see what happens next!
