MC gets dream realm powers where he can set the time ratio to anything he wants. Yet spends his time training in real world. He could spend an entire year training techniques and fighting foes conjured by his dream powers for years and only maybe a day or so would pass in outside world. But nah, he only uses it to manipulate women…
Its really annoying that all the MC’s cultivation partners get really strong when bloodline awakens yet MC barely gets stronger. The author keeps using the excuse of “oh you dont want your foundation to be unstable” meanwhile MCs sister gets ice dragon bloodline and shoots up from lower foundation realm to peak foundation realm and then dual cultivates with MC and goes to lower core formation realm. Reason this makes me mad is cause MC gets the literal ancesteral strongest dragon bloodline implanted in him as a mortal yet there is no boost in cultivation. Classic case of author not knowing how to keep female leads strength up to par with MC so they just give them plot bs to boost their cultivation. For MC it doesnt work but aye for the side characters it boosts their shit to another dimension. Also, the amount of dual cultivation MC does yet he is still lower foundation realm is absurd. Btw foundation is merely 4th out of 10 mortal major realms. Not only that but we are 190 chaps in and hes not even halfway through the mortal major realms even given the strongest bloodline, top tier physique, and dual cultivator, these are all things that should give MC crazy fast cultivation speed. Dont get me wrong in real time its only been like 1-1.5 months since he started cuktivating, but authot has the bad habbit of making filler stall actual plot progress. Thats why almost 200 chapters have passed yet it hasnt even been a quarter of a year in the world. I would say the novel is bad, but so far the above observations have made me give it a lower rating. There is barely any fighting and even when there is conflict his guardian xi is there to save the day over and over. Just makes it pointless cause he has an entire system full of cool techniques and manuals yet they are shown off properly at all. Most of the novel focuses on relationships over actual cultivation which hinders it heavily
As usual with webnovels, good premise but bad execution. Once he came into human realm he just refuses to kill any human. He fights with a C-rank fire and ice ability user, gets him to use up all his mind power (this means he cannot use his powers), then decides to let him go without killing the potential threat. Keep in mind this was just after an entire chapter of nothing but monologue on how he would kill humans and not let his former life alter that decision. He tried to gain a power from a mere high school student yet his powers just got negated with no explanation (so much for his ultra unique bloodline that he gambled his life for). To top it all off he has to breakthrough to tier 1 from tier 0 yet has no clue how to do so. Feels like author is making MC have a hard time just for the sake of it so I will be dropping. The entire point of the overpowered tag is for him to be vastly superior, if he is constantly hitting roadblock after roadblock not even 30 chapters into the novel then it should not have that tag.
Oh yea forgot to mention, the MC spends most of his system points on leveling up his clones skills rather than buying skills that could be used by his main body and also shared to his clones, seems rather wasteful considering his clones are benefitting more than MC. For example the regen skills was relatively cheap and is great skill that is life saving but also has benefits for training yet he never levels it up again. Same thing with body strengthening skill. All of his skills that can be shared just never get upgraded anymore.
Alright so I caught up to around 250 chapters and its not as bad as I once said. Spoilers ahead read at own risk. He gets a mind reading power where he can intake all the memories of those he can see which makes him not as stupid as before especially with women. He also gets more techniques so thats a plus. If I had to give a critique tho it would be that there is too much sex that it becomes dull after a while. Its mostly the same formula over and over, a chapter full of kissing and groping, a chapter of pussy eating, and then a chapter of the sex itself. But yea Ill retract my earlier review saying it was the trashiest thing ever, its not that bad and the actual plot is not too bad either (just wish there was more of it lol). Not saying to get rid of the sex altogether but when only like 2/10 chapters are actually plot based it makes the story really slow paced. And if youre gonna do a ton of sex then do some crazy positions like standing 69 or something lol
Dropped at chapter 32. In a mere 30 chapters we get MC face slapping people and a political engagement arc where MC is whipped by the fiance. Its more like a slice of life then a cultivation novel and its annoying how the author has to call MC a waste multiple times every chapter (we get it bro). Also, for a villain family where the dad is super strong and the mother is supposed to be ruthless, there is an awful lot of internal power struggles within the clan. Overall its a bunch of negative cliches in one book, had a decent premise just fell flat on the execution imo.
Its a common trope nowadays for somebody to throw insults like “you just have bad reading comprehension” whenever you give criticism to anything these people enjoy
I thought I finally found a decent read in the slop ridden field that is webnovels. However, its just another book that stretches things out way more than necessary. This honestly feels like a slice of life novel more than anything ridden with trope after trope. First 20 chapters and theres already a tournament that spans 10+ chapters. 74 chapters just to begin cultivating. Another trope I cannot stand that I see in every asian piece of literature is the men being whipped by the women. Also, that ming girl regresses so Im guessing her and MC both died in the future or at least suffered heavily. Instead of telling him and planning for future, getting stronger earlier than in previous life, she just lets things play out exactly the same and uses her future info to solely get closer to MC. Lastly you do not need to make such a detailed depiction of the cultivation occuring, it is mostly gonna get skipped. Thats like if you were to fully explain in physics terms how elemental/spacial abilities work, most of the time it will get skipped by viewer bc ultimately it is a fantasy book not an academic book. You can just say “oh he is gathering whatever element in his dantian”. Lastly, why is his telekinesis so inconsistent?? At first he barely has trouble lifting a pebble. The raft was understandable since he just got his ability and hasnt trained it yet and he had to sustain the raft + himself and sister. However, almost a decade later and it seems like it got seemingly OP after he literal crumpled multiple wolves above his realm into meatball paste. However, right after this he uses it to barely lift himself an extra 5m above the ground when jumping. I dont know how you are measuring his ability, but multiple wolves are easily close to 1k lbs or 500kg, i dont think a 14 yr old boy would weight any more than 150-170lbs. What I am getting at is if he is able to lift and crumple multiple wolves like paper why cant he use it to make himself fly? I mean he complains about needing a beast summon but imo he should be able to fly with his telekinesis. I actually think the story has quite a bit of potential, just as of right now it is falling short a lot for me on the things I mentioned.
I thought the premise was really good at the start but it quickly gets overshadowed by the naive characters. Every single one of the characters refuse to kill people that try to kill them. Imo that is the worst type of person. For example there was an evil woman that tried getting the brother and sister to kill each other with her puppet powers, they finally manage to defeat her but they just let her live. Same with all the other fights from chapters 24-30, all they so is knock out the people that tried to kill them without ever finishing them off, it is some of the dumbest shit I ever read. It is so unsatisfying watching a villain try to kill the main character or their loved ones and then they just let them off the hook. Also did you really have to add the “she saw red” line? Like cmon that is some middle schooler shit. We can already tell she is furious by the fact that the third rate villain tried to get her to kill her brother. Sorry but I cant continue to read such a story
Ok so he finally uses his dream technique to master techniques so that part is fixed. But my god the story is like 25% plot, 75% filler and sex. MC levels up his wives to insane degrees when he is higher level than them. However when MC’s partner is higher level he barely doesnt even go up one minor realm after dual cultivating with them all night or many days. Shit makes no sense. I have seen cultivation novels drag out the MCs leveling but we are talking 100+ chapters just for a single minor realm upgrade. Keep in mind he is still only at the 5th out of 10th mortal major realm at 500 chapters into the story. This is how these dual cultivation novels go downhill every time, they have to nerf MC leveling speed and then make wives catch up with bs bloodline upgrades and whatnot. Im seriously dragging myself to continue reading but I am thinking about dropping very soon if it doesnt speed up soon. 500 chapters and only 2-2.5 months pass in the real world cause author is trying so hard to focus on too many clans, characters, and realms.
