The one book that ended perfectly for me. The character development of the MC is simply amazing.. really liked everything about this novel.. character interactions never look dead.. no unnecessary arrogant young master and face slapping.. death of characters never really impacts the story that much... It feels necessary and not forced at all.. the ending is not rushed at all and fits very perfectly with all the characters... I could’ve even said that it is the perfect ending! The first novel that never makes me bored... I’ve read some famous novels.. for example, LOTM.. the mystery is top tier for sure and is in a league of its own. But sometimes I can get bored and it took me a few days to get back to the novel.. since reading this book, not even once have I ever thought of dropping it or delaying my time to continue reading... it’s simply a masterpiece of its own. You could argue LOTM is better than this book.. but for me, I have to say they are equal, at least IMO. One thing for sure is this story is not for everyone (and that may be the reason why some people can’t see the true beauty of this story).. but if a person with great affinity with this type of writing read it, it’s a completely different story.. 100% worth all my time! Give it a try! The early chapter’s writing kinda feels odd (maybe because it’s the author's first book and he was still not very familiar with some dialogue)... But that changed very quickly once MC starts his cultivation journey... I’m really surprised with how the author’s writing style evolved so quickly.. and so, in conclusion, I‘m gonna rate it 10/10! Must read ;) Good luck fellas on your journey with this book! I hope you could comprehend the Laws behind this book! [img=recommend]

I truly liked this story. relatively original in the cultivation genre. I found myself very entertained even through some of the more 'boring' parts. the best thing about this story is probably the character development of the MC and side characters. I could say a lot more about this novel, but I cba. all around great novel and I don't regret reading a single chapter. the ending, is mid, but I've seen sooo much worse, and the journey to the end is 10x better than typical cultivation novels. thank you author.

One of the best novels I have read to date. Very comedic at times but also emotional. The different interactions between gravis and the people he meets felt genuine and hilarious.

Great novel. Good story, good characters, satisfying ending. Everything is there. The written English is good and not annoying to read. There are plenty of moments that will drag you into the story emotionally. The pacing of the story is solid. The only major complaint I have is many things are over explained however I know some people like that and for those people like me who don't want to read the details of why the math worked out or other such things, those portions are easy to scroll through quickly without losing bits of the story. Great novel

this is a superb webnovel, and it is some of the best work ive ever read. ive always been interested in fantasy cultivation type worlds, and this just seems to capture it perfectly. the author has an amazing mind for creativity, and i am so thankful to be able to say that i have read this.

really one of the best novels here. its a fresh air to cultivation novels by giving more rational and less greedy enemies and the MC is not one-dimensional. overall the story has depth in terms of the characters and how the story progresses.

Nice read but Web Novel is so greedy for money. It keeps asking for more that it's better to pay for just the whole book.

First of: The novel is FINISHED The powersystem is 10/10 original and I don't think I've seen one quite like this. The worldbuilding is good, extensive, diverse and mostly coherent, but there are some minor mistakes/inconsistencies in the novel that sadly never got corrected or adressed, but simply ignoring it is usually thr best decision since it's usually nothing major. The writing quality is good but in the middle parts especially until chapter ~1100ish there are a lot of repetitions, like saying the same thing 3-4 times a little bit different (maybe for more words per chapter, idk), but the English of the author is quite good, especially for this plattform. The characters are diverse and not really repetitive, but similar yet different. Also the author isn't afraid to kill of chars, which is good/bad/sad/bittersweet, it really depends. Sometimes it really seems like the author just wants to see the world burn. In regards to that, a little spoiler warning for the passage ahead The ending was peculiar, way to fast and way too abruptly for me, the abrupt starr of the end had it's charm tho, since it kinda sent you into the right headspace for the ending: stress The real end of the chapter took like 12-20 chapters all in all, and that's in a 1329 chapter novel. Of these 12-20 chapter, only around 4-5 were the real ending of the story. Also I gotta say, the ending was too open for my taste, but the hopes for a epilogue are high.

It's very good read. Story development is very well thought out and explained! Start to end, it was amazing. There was no point where I felt that the writer has gone lazy or the story is going downhill. Honestly, this can be in my top 2 novels of all. I just loved it!

It is really tiring too read. I can read story with evil mc and in general I like stories where the MC has a lot of setback and difficulties but this is to much, it is too bleak and I don't like the pretext of heaven to justify his endless calamity and maybe the most that force him to commit horrible things that he can't forgive himself really too tiring to read for me, definitively not my Style

i have no words to say how much this novel is amazing, totally worth read. I didn't expect it to be this good by the name of the novel "don't judge a book by it's cover" never made so much sense.

I love the way the world of litow was told, the way the characters were portrayed. I loved the ending the most, yes it was sad but the way it cleaned every thing up was perfect.

This is a real hidden gem that I picked up. The character development and journey of Gravis is something that's pretty rare in cultivation novels like this one. I would get angry at some of his stupid decisions only for him to get kinda satisfyingly punished for it later.

The title of this book caught my attention and I’m so flad I decided to read it. Every character no matter how unimportant they are used in a fashion that progresses the story more. I’m sad that it came to an end but glad that it was created. Hopefully the authors second book is created as well as this one was. I hope that y’all will enjoy this as much as I did.

What can I say. If you are a cultivation fan, then this is for you. The author has clear writing. They characters are fleshed out and the world building is good.

Reading through this novel all I can say it has been a wild ride. While reading this I have laughed, I have cried, I have felt angry and happy, this novel is phenomenal. It had the perfect ending, and the story makes the reader experience a myriad of emotions. This is by far the best novel I have ever read. I haven't genuinely cried in years but chapter 1300+ hit me hard. You sir made a great novel. Please continue writing and make more stories like this.

God where to even start? I hope they turn it into a book series so I can buy it on Amazon or something. This is one of those books that I would have the set sitting on my bookshelf and even if I never read it again when ever I see them I will remember. This book has so many ups and downs it feels like life at some points. life isn't ment to be fair and things never work out exactly how you want but you move on and make the best of what life has to give. Even though you move on you will always remember.

its a solid novel, after reading the whole thing i can say the first arc in the lower world is the worst part of the novel. Unfortunately its the first part. the middle and upper world parts are great and very enjoyable. the highest world(final arc) is great right till the last few chapters which i hated the ending. however after reading all the comments on the final chapter i seem to be the only one who hated the ending. all in all good novel if you can get over that first hump, or maybe you loved the lower world part? who knows people like diff things and this novel is worth a read.

This is by far the best book I've read on this site. Even with 1329 chapters, it somehow keeps you hooked. I've read plenty that are good for the first 300 then fall off, or lower in quality, but this always stays fresh. whenever a plotline begins to be overused, or trail on for too long, it switches to a new one that is similar in tone, but vastly different and unique. there are well defined arks, and you can track how characters change, or their mindset changes, and not just the main character has character arks. while the world literally revolves around the main character, none of the characters do. his friends all have their own unique motivations and personalities, and dont just flock around the main character. when the mc leaves, they dont necessarily follow, and they even choose to leave themselves occasionally. the author is not afraid of death, or wild changes in tone. the book could go from complete calm to absolute chaos in less then a chapter, but somehow its not confusing or hard to follow. some parts do get a bit tricky to understand, but with the way the power system works, its literally supposed to be hard to understand. the power system, while very reminiscent of other novels, is constantly evolving and shifting. it also builds on itself, and becomes vastly more complex as you move forward. but, at every stage is a unique and creative mechanic that keeps it interesting throuout the whole book. the pacing is also excellent. during each ark, you are given time to adapt to the changes made, and then given a demonstration of how it works. then, after that ark finishes and the next begins, it takes the power system and ads a component to it, and repeats the process. you have plenty of time to comprehend fully how the system works, and hiven plenty of explanations of what each attack is, so you're not left wondering what does what. likewise, when a character who hasnt appeared in a while is mentioned, the author explains who they are, something not done enough. ive read many books over 500 pages that expect you to remember by name 50 characters, and leave you to scroll back through the book trying to remember who is who. overall, this book is one of the best. it keeps you interested at every turn, even at the beginning when the mc is a kid. i really dislike when novels make a purposely bad character just so they can have character arcs, and this is the book those novels are trying to be. while i normally dont re-read web novels, i definately will with this one. 10/10
