it had an okay premise and was interesting but it went into a kingdom building thing later on and was very drawn out and didn't do it very well at all the amount of disbelief and stuff you had to ignore was too much on top of the translation and shoddy realms of cultivation.

I liked this novel very much when I started. The way the MC was growing into a hidden bigshot was very interesting. Unfortunately I dropped this novel at chapter 506 due to the incomplete chapters. The story no longer felt complete sue to the missing parts that kept repeating. I understand that the author wanted to protect his content against piracy. But tell us where we can find the full complete chapters at least. I will pick this novel back up once I find the missing content. Please understand that the only reason I dropped this novel is due to missing content and not because I find the novel boring. If anyone knows where to find the missing content pls reply under this comment.

It should be renamed as My Pushover system. It's a good story as well as bad. He is just a Pushover character. He is gutless, he wants to avoid trouble but the system give him no choice but to be nose picked by other characters. But overall story is not bad, if you can accept a Pushover main character.

The novel was pretty interesting until I reached around chapter 200 when the translation quality of the novel dropped suddenly. It became a machine translated novel with inconsistent names and repeated content. If the translation quality remains the same, I will probably drop this novel despite its interesting plot. If anyone has kept up with this novel, let me know if the translation quality improves at any point 👍

This novel had a lot of potential, but choosing the last option every time isn't really the best choice. The novel became boring and repetitive after just a few chapters, and on top of that, it lacks any romance – it's just a simple robot. If he can't have a public girlfriend, what's the problem with having a private one? It's as if anything he does besides staying quiet will result in his death, all because of a bad experience from the first choice – it's a terrible plot. I'm on chapter 126 as I write this.

This is a very cool story, I liked it until around chapter 250 when the translation quality started dropping. If it doesn't bother to read subpar translation then I recommend this book.

Just imagine listening to a song and waiting for the beat to drop or waiting for the punchline of a joke. Yeah, well it didn't happen till I dropped the novel. I was left with a very strong feeling of "I don't get it".

Okay, just an update for fellow fans of this novel. The story got picked up by a comic publisher and now goes by "Don't play by Rules". (personal opinion: I hate this title, sounds like a 3 grader wrote it. You just had to add the 'the' and it would have been great but no...) Congratulations to the author (sucks that neither the author, translator or webnovel mentioned this). You can find the stories RAW version online somewhere (goes up to chapter 800~900 i think?) but it'll be about as good as a 1 to 1 google translation. Read at your own risk (for your eyes, the bad translation [text, idioms, grammar], etc.). cya!

Very interesting premise with a MC who is deathly afraid of trouble, reminiscent of Top Tier Providence. However, this novel does one better with an environment that forces the MC to act, instead of letting him hide out in a cave perpetually (such as in Top Tier Providence). Even though it has since been dropped by the translator, all of the good stuff was in the first ~225 chapters anyways. Worth a read.

One of the better novels to be translated on this site yet it's delayed yet again. What gives? The translation is rather subpar but the novel is so good I can easily overlook it. Please bring this novel back!

This book is of A grade but still webnovel put it on hiatus and started translating other garbages...... Sigh......You must read this book as this is not your typical Cliché story. You will be surprised so many times that you will be fascinated by this book's potential.

We need more! This MC is hilarious and the system is unique compared to other stories. I have read up to chapter 230 and I can say it's one of my more favorite stories

It's to my surprise that I found this series has a "harem" tag. It surprises me, because although the MC is surrounded by many beautiful women, as of chapter 200+ he never gets involved romantically with them, and he sometimes even actively avoids them. Though the girls do get crushes on him eventually anyways, and some of the girl's personalities are typically tsundere, they don't cross the line to overly annoying. Because I like the MC, and because the story is written in a manner that feels like the author plans things ahead and there is foreshadowing, I find the series enjoyable anyways. Plotholes not withstanding, there's a lot I can put aside for a decently written book. I'm more invested in his kingdom building.

At chap 70 currently. Although there are some unexplainable things, such as how the MC obtained all the knowledge he has for his hobbies, but if you can ignore these plotholes, the series is an enjoyable read so far mostly because the MC keeps a level head most of the times. The story parodies a lot of the tropes you often see in other cultivation novels.
