Write a reviewAt the beginning, you think that this is a novel about a smart protagonist. But it is not!. The main character is a kind, ordinary Chinese beta male. Everything happens after chapter 20. The translator folded his handkerchief after chapter 19 .. The MTL of this novel is normal.
It was really good until the mc suddenly just gets saint level (the stongest cultivation state in this book) techniques, relics, treasures in succesion after he established his foundation :(. Before that he has to make do with subpar, forbidden techniques and bide his time against his enemies. It was way more interesting back then.
Trash the level of writing is bad the author doesnt know how to make the novel exiting too much filler
Honestly i feel a bit guilty in rating it 2 stars. For 200 or so chapters this novel is worthy 4.5 stars (I consider 5 stars a masterpice), but starting from chapter 300 something onwards its quality goes down to the point that around chapter 400 it is absolute trash. It is obvious how the author couldn't sustain the required chapter output and the quality of the novel suffered dramatically. The webnovel system, where quantity matter more than quality, reaped another victim.
it's good until chapter 190, after that they change the protagonist to that old cliche random saves and kill the young master.......................
Reveal SpoilerAdvice "At least be selfish for your own sake, if it's advantageous for the sake of strength then do "beneficial" things like fawning over the young master/princess. if it's just an ordinary person do you want to be "robinhood" come on be selfish for yourself. good but if you do it many times it might look "disgusting".
4/5 + until Black Rock Ruins, then the quality drops real fast. The translation is good but there are issues with pronouns in most of the chaps, but it was still okay. The story was progressing nicely and everything was good. But during Black Rock Ruins, everything goes downhill, the translation goes off, there is even no mention of who the pronoun is denoting. Then there is a continuous series of face slapping moments. MC defeats one guy whom everyone thinks he can't defeat and persuades him to step back. then another guy comes and same thing keeps on repeating. Dropping the novel now. Might resume it if it gets completed.
Inconsistent with failed logic from the very start. It’s not as horrendous as other novels but it’s still terrible
So far we only see a low martial arts world with body forging, no so called forbidden skills as of yet, I thought this was gonna be another stupid fast paced novel because of the title but no, the mc is kinda stupid sometimes but most of the time he's ok.
All good and amazing at mortal world arc but all thing got hectic once MC went to immortal civilization. The story got more incoherent with previous chapters. This kept happening for hundreds of chapters. No explaining on how and what got him on some situation that you have to backtrack some chapters still confusing how they connects to ongoing storyline. Its still worth reading mortal world arc for those who are interested if they have no other novel to read they find interesting
It was 4 stars until Black Rock Ruins. But then arrogance started to ruin the plot. After he left the ruins, the MC completely changed the way he acted before. In 397 he knows there may be nascent souls looking for him but he does not hide - He is just laying the foundation.
Reveal Spoilerthe novel was at first interesting but after visiting the secret realm and a while later it turns stupid, I have been hissing ever since and hoping for a turn around but it keeps getting worse, the mc got arrogant and instead of the usual style, he decided to create a sect or something. it absolutely a great novel but it went astray from the what was promised
A bad very bad novel, the worst mc ever, very overpowered cheat, don't read it absolutely, its irritating and a waste of time, bad world building and bad characters.
I am loving the novel development presently, I quite a good novel there are no harem cliches or girl loving here and there I was thinking it was going to happen before during the Wang family daughter and I was about to abandon it but thankfully I didn't. it also doesn't have those arrogant protagonist vibe everything is done with great stability, but his strength increase is quite slow, but that not the issue the issue was him not using his main cheat anymore which is to use forbidden cultivation technique since he can't die
Reveal SpoilerHonestly, it's probably one of my favorite cultivation stories I've read in a while. Even though he's generally pretty secretive about how strong he is, he doesn't act like a compete coward and makes sure to do things in a smart way. Definitely a good read.
The MC knows how to be patient and bide his time. The story is slightly slower paced but I actually enjoy it. The pace is perfect in my opinion, and I can see this novel making it up there with the known classics. Its worth reading, give it a try!
