if you are an avid reader and have high standards for novels.... this is not your cup of tea... read first 10 chapters and you'll feel it... I read same author's other book(i.e. Ace of Terrans).. that have much better writing, character design, story progression, world background, and many more... and comparing this to that, this sucks... I don't know if this is written by same author.. maybe this is novel through which author improved himself.. it did came before AoT, and AoT is actively updated.... sorry I'll not continue with this novel.. hope my review do not get deleted.. author-sama keep critic reviews.. everyone grows and improves oneself... so please don't show false ratings ..

It’s alright. Dropped it mainly because of writing quality. Author: don’t use all caps! Ever! It really lowers the readability of your work.

I don’ say this lightly, but this may be my favorite cultivation novel and I am only 10 chapters in. It has managed to in this short amount of time set the tone of the novel and also explain the situation of the Ma perfectly. I can tell that it’ probably going to be the stereotype of people constantly looking down on the Mc and him destroying them with his New found wealth, but all cultivation novels are like that and this one does it in a slightly different way. I also love the reserved and almost innocent nature of the Mc so far. All in all a great start.

My first ever review for my favorite novel so far on Webnovel. This story has surpassed all my expectations and raised the bar so high it's difficult to like any other story now. Whether it's the world background, character's design or the story development, everything is superb. The character development of ML is well written and I love his progress so far. His growth and falls are logical and impressive which made me cry and cheer for him. The writing is so meticulous which shows that the author has put lot of efforts and heart into this story. I never experienced such an amazing story with a very well rounded plot. Over all I would recommend this book to all.[img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend]

I like how the characters are described in detail, the flow of the story. How every scene connects to the next one. Also, the ease to follow the story line. It is quite fast paced, The author has done a good work.

My friend, the fates are cruel There are no dreams, no honor remains The arrow has left the bow of the goddess My soul, corrupted by vengeance Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey In my own salvation And your eternal slumber Legend shall speak Of sacrifice at world's end The wind sails over the water's surface Quietly, but surely

So far this is fantastic, the writing quality has some hiccups here and there, but the story itself is so good that you can just ignore them completely I have to say that I have fallen in love with this novel

An enjoyable tale about a spirit who’d gone through countless trials & as a result, the heavens blessed him as the Dao Child. Yang Dao is supposed to have control of all elements & sub elements(4got how many) and he also has 4 elementals as servants who are pretty cool. The story takes place on another planet, yet somehow crystal meth, noodles, cellphones & curry are in this world. There is internet access & smartphones but no Bluetooth. Weird but ok. Maybe that tech will come in later thanks to the MCs brilliance. Girls: don’t expect anything soon. MC is 16 & has a habit of running from girls who want to get close to him. He’s not completely dense but he said girls scare him. The situation with the teacher confused me. He participated but then acted like she tried to r*** him. It’ll be interesting to see how this turns out. Action is short & simple, most situations are resolved within 1-2 chapters. There are also arrogant young masters but Yang Dao sets them straight early on in his quest for world domination. Though he does cultivate, it’s not a driving factor(ex: closed door seclusion & complicated levels). The novel as of ch 140 is 98% slice of life and 1.5% action/fantasy & .5% attempted romance. Grammar: it is a bit of a struggle read. Wrong words are a constant which takes away from reader exp. A personal pet peeve is the writer constantly refers to the MC as the boy so I find myself picturing a little boy. Overall, Imo it’s a good story to pass the time. It can get a little boring but I really like the characters. Each girl has her own personality, Yang Dao actually has male friends & I want more of Ryu pls 🥰. In conclusion, I would recommend this book.

My true opinion - true joy felt while reading , not a fabricated review of praise either! For those who are here to see their ideal novel looking at the title and synposis! then congrats you're in right place and perhaps best place! In my opinion, this is one of the best novel I read. Thou the sad thing is I already reached latest ch. I still recommend all to read it if you're looking for its genre. Op and cool as f*k Thanks for hearing my review or seeing it.

Overall it's a good slow paced novel with equally good intentions: to ensure that you get a clear picture of the characters and the situations they go through. I'd recommend this novel for people who want to take a break from the action packed stories that immediately throw you into the action (sometimes, a bit too fast). As this is a slow paced reading experience, you must be patient as you go through. The author does a good job at allowing the reader to go through each chapter with smooth transitions in between scenes. My only criticism are the telling and showing aspects, there are some characters that we get to know via telling (when the author gives the information immediately). Telling is fine, but in this case there is too much of it. Perhaps some things like atmosphere and characters can be shown to the reader: give the reader a chance to find out what are things like instead of being told about it directly. Other than that, everything else in the book is good.

Synopsis itself is so good that it captivated me to read all the chapters at once. This novel is very well written. The descriptions, writing style, character building everything is too good. Its the best thing I have read in a while. Great work author! Already added to my library [img=recommend]

*shock* Did i just give a seamlessly not so shameless 5 star that equals great writing quality, story development, character design, update stability, AND world background. Well surely I did this with a noble attitude not some Black bellied shameless attitude. heavens no That would be below me the Skills Master. Now you go on with your blessed 3 months I have given you though in return you give me something of the same worth alright. that's how a give and take works right? Psst I left a little something extra to show good relations and will. It should be where you keep your most loved items. You'll find out what it is shortly.
