INITIAL THOUGHTS: -As someone who has read over 2000 chapters of "Reaper of the Martial World" and also reading "Dimensional Descent" I am both biased towards seeing him in a good light and judging him harshly for what I don't like. With that being said I hope my review helps those who are on the fence about wanting to read this novel or not. WRITING QUALITY: 5/5 -Having 2 other books being written he has got the writing quality down. It's on the same level if not better some of my favorite long-standing authors like "Cocooned Cow-True Martial World" and "Jing Wu Hen-Ancient Godly Monarch". Anyone who has been in this space for at least a couple of years has seen the influx of new authors causing quality to become sporadic like a heart rate monitor. Be at ease with this novel. STABILITY OF UPDATES: 5/5 -Despite writing 3 books at once he has kept it consist which is what want we want most from our authors. This is assuming quality doesn't diminish which I stated before hasn't. STORY DEVELOPMENT: 5/5 -Epic would be the shart answer yet I know you guys want to know why? Well based on the synopsis you can see the MC is starting off at the pinnacle of the Cultivation world which begs the question if you cant go up does that mean you go down? In this case yes you do. The very bottom at that. -Now here's where it can be a make it or break it for some readers. The 1st volume which sets the stage for the story is 30 odd chapters which can in some people's eyes be too much. Also, he doesn't exactly begin cultivating at the start of the second novel which can lead to some more people dropping off. So I ask readers to stay for at least 60 chapters before writing this book off as "boring" or other such nonsense. Great works are not made without a foundation that can handle the immensity of the task at hand. -By the end of the second novel and the beginning of the third where I'm at you see the foundation is really fleshed out. Much mystery is still there of course however you have enough to chew on keeping you wanting to devour this masterpiece some more! -Overall If you want quality story development then give at least read up to 60-80 chapters. You won't regret it CHARACTER DESIGN: 5/5 -This is what I believe the author has gotten the handle of. I might not agree with his choices of character development, but that doesn't take away from the quality I read before my eyes. -The MC within the first volume starts off with many great qualities and some obvious flaws as well which leaves room for development. He has the best cultivation foundation one can ask for yet that is handicapped (temporarily) by one core aspect which would make it truly perfect. To compensate he delved into several side passions which is a pro. This however left his cultivation knowledge stunted which we see later on in volume 2. -The MC in the 2nd volume is becoming more aware of the flaws he has because of his overall circumstances. This leaves room for the MC to develop which is a plus. -The MC at the beginning of the 3fd novel is introduced to someone very important who for his own good ruthlessly shows him his glaring flaws and is someone who despite being born in the best clan actually in many ways is still immature and naive to the ways of the world. Who despite learning so much actually knows so little still. Hopefully, his coldness will be warmed to a degree by the recent edition of someone who shares a life with him now. It's been noted he was once warmer yet due to hardships he got colder and harder. Now if he could rediscover that warmth while keeping the cold that would be fantastic! -Other than the MC's his family is well developed and others close to him as well. After volume 1 we have yet to see many characters stay with the MC. Only one for now if any more at all will join considering his cold personality. WORLD BACKGROUND: 5/5 -Very detailed throughout so far without needlessly dumping info on you. This for many authors is a challenge. How much is too much info? How much does the situation call upon to explain the situation in clarity while leaving some mystery? This author has it down once again. OVERALL: 5/5 Read it or regret it. Let that sink in!!

I love this author. All his cultivation books are well thought out and have such cool and unique concepts to cultivation. Cultivation novels usually have an element of repetition, but not here. He refreshes us with new paths of cultivation and adds unique elements to make it more refreshing.

Awspecโ€™s novel is where you want to praise him for world development and characters that feels real their stories background conversation depth But at the same time it makes you want to punch him because of unnecessary useless(most often) info dumps and the constant nerfs that protagonist specially in the story keeps getting like. Itโ€™s not even funny anymore. Probably in the last 1500 chapters. I donโ€™t even remember how less fights he fought at his full strength like one or maybe two I mean I hate it personally and you too. I genuinely enjoyed the novel when ryu used to adventure now itโ€™s just info after info I mean do you guys remember the necromancer arc or what would you say to that futures or something I mean tell me what the point of those chapters if ryu wasnโ€™t going to use it and letโ€™s talk about his life partner. She is gone. We donโ€™t know where at least till now and he wants to conquer Jojo like seriously Please author, itโ€™s a request, make your MC a little likeable at least let him keep his powers, donโ€™t nerf him. Thatโ€™s a little request from my end probably a lot of readers side. Thanks. (think this is my first review on webnovel letโ€™s see if I get thrashed it replies. LOL)

Please author can you just not make the guy suffer too much, too much inconsistencies stopped me from reading this wonderful book but i can't stand how you make the Mc's progress all the time to amount to nothing, we don't like miracle fights that you explain later to be the guy being lucky, i am so annoyed by the fact that you've undermined the space element talk about time

typically awespec novel that kills its potential. Mc gets op abilities that author nerfs every second he can get. author makes mc filled with pride but is somehow supposed to be different than prideful arrogance. Making every encounter avoidable, but i guess plot. author makes the first thousand chapters a tutorial only to open up a whole new power system. Author word padding is godly wasting 10s of chapters. probably has a Dao of padding. mc harem and women are worthless. mainly because the author can't give them screen time. which kills the immersion. Overall, I kept reading to the end because I just liked the powers. besides that, I would have dropped.

I really liked this novel a lot but now the MC is just being 'crippled and becomes powerful' repeatedly. I think the author likes to torture the MC so much and with the MC's arrogance and stupidity without the plot armor he would be dead so many times. Not to mention the MC dislikes using brain even though he is weak with only intelligent to back it up as a strong point in most of the story.

i love it...the good points of this novel are too much to even list, the bad points. over time what i feel was bad, i eventually come to like or appreciate. while i cant say the story is perfect but it is one of the best cultivation novels with a different feel to it from the always cliche annoying tropes you see right from the chapter 1

This review is being written with the latest chapter being 1320 for non-privilaged readers. I really love this series. The world's are well built, The cultivation system is easy to understand, and not hard at all to follow. the only reason it's not a perfect 5 stars is because i feel like things are moving a bit too fast, but that may just be because I've read this whole thing at a pace of like 50-60 chapters a day. The main character is a well built character who has a severe personality change (in a good way), and the side characters are also well built, with lots of improvement in their personalities as well with more to come. I am not very good at writing, so please excuse me if this review isnt very good.

Overall this is a fantastic book. The author really develops the main charcter, Ryu quite well where you feel the passion that Ryu feels in each encounter. Awespec did such a good job with this one I ended up reading Dimensional decent to find out if this book was just awspecs best or if he's a great author on other works too and he is. Both GAB and DD will leave you waiting for more to be released with anticipation. I recommend reading about Ryu's adventures to everyone.

The starting chapters got me hooked as the writing quality is really good, every aspect or power up makes sense although i don't like harem in this novel it came quite naturally so it was good.Do give it a read it might not be everyones cup of tea but you might miss a novel that might become your favourite.

1000 chapters in and the story just got worse. Now MC's cultivation regressed do bad and is scrambling around trying to find ways to unlock his talents. There's also the huge plot hole of him recultivating, it's honestly baffling. Meaning the plot halted and there's no progress. So all of the things that happened are mostly forced plots. A bit of a spoiler around 1050 chapters. He arrogantly infiltrated a place thinking he won't get caught. Well he did get caught and not once but twice. The first time he got caught, he somewhat escaped. But on his hubris he got in the second time, thinking he's slick and won't make the same mistake twice but he still got caught and he's very much exposed. Not only that, he exposed his most valuable treasures there. Now he will definitely get chase all over the place. The worst part? Even when he got caught for the first time, he never prepared any escape measures. He only started doing it when he got caught like some complete ret*rd.This is the quality of writing at this point so a fair warning to the people who want to read this. This author clearly lost and just making things up on the way.

Ch 1310 the past chapters just feel like they are repeating themselves, some just explain things no one cares about, the story feels slow, if you are having writers block just take a break instead of just stretching the chapters.

If you like a story of Forced plot and awful plot armor ( not to be confused with plot armor that can actually be fun ) then this may be to your tastes. Also I don't know what is up with this author but some of the absolute dumbest " genius mc's " I've read have been in these stories... I think I'm just done with anything coming from this author. It felt like for a time early on they were aiming to improve and then based on a ton of positive comments decided that it was enough and didn't want to improve more. Sadly they stopped improving too early in my taste. I don't enjoy " genius mc's " in stories when they are at best average intelligence in reality and just happen to have been thrown into a world with an average intelligence of a fricken rock.

up to chap 815: my guy seriously knows how to waffle, he explains ideas and new plot points a bit overdrawn but relatively well, but the issue is that it is then further explained again in the same overdrawn manner with only occasionally new information strewn in. There are some chapters and paragraphs that are just exposition to some beningn and minor matter that the author either forgets or only brings up in one small sentence in the future. I find myself unengaged and skipping large portions of what can only be described as drivel. Other than that itโ€™s good.

this story progressed very lightly and it showed how developed the world was and the main character wasn't given everything on a single spoon and never threatened but he was consistent with his behavior even if he had lost his life

at this point I'm 1258 chapters in on the highest privilege program. this book is extremly good I can't get enough of it. I put down every other book to read the book of Ryu to the point of my wife heard me talk about him so much are new puppy is named Ryu. the main charcter is very exciting and interesting every moment. it is to the point I've started reading dimensional decent to get more of of the authors work while waiting for the 2 chapters a day of ancestral bloodlines. read this book you won't regret it.

Awesome writing. The world background is amazingly complex and I really like the cultivation system. However, while I like the character and I appreciate the story, to me Ryu is stagnating in his character development. His arrogance does not entirely befit his strength and while it was refreshing at the beginning of the story, now it seems kind of stupid, as he keeps on getting in situations he cannot always respond to or handle well. The story development is stalling a bit alongside them and I would love to see some growth in Ryu's character, just like when Ailsa changed some of his views on the world.

AUTHOR-SAN what would it take for a mass release of like 20-30 chapters?!?! This book is by far my favorite; everything is stable and goes together, the filler chapters still have a verging degree of info that is helpful later on, and characterโ€™s development compared with the world development is relatively equal in both. Heโ€™s doesnโ€™t gain too much too fast and has to continue to reach the pinnacle as heโ€™s not even close while hinting at a possible wider world again. Fantastic writing.

everything is excellent but mc is too pridefull and too much arrogance for my taste.......and his every arrogant action with simply no consequences seems too much of plot armor
