Old and pessimistic. Pardon me if I call you out on your stupidity. That's just how I am.

As with many other novels, the premise is good. But there are so many plotholes and contradictory statements. Like he thinks to himself that "It's fine if he knows, since he won't tell anyone" then proceeds to lie to his face. Ok, so clearly it wasn't fine? The system doesn't just give him feedback, but it also perfects his body. His body gets refined and his meridians widen etc. Basically the cultivation technique gets perfected. But later, we learn that he's actually holding back on advancing quickly, because he's worried about his "Foundation" being unstable. That came out of nowhere just to create an artificial limiter on the protagonists progress. There's also the beast cultivation. His beasts can advance by leaps and bounds and keep up with his cultivation just by receiving a few weeks worth of cultivation, but the protagonist needs hundreds of years of cultivation feedback to just be slightly ahead of his beasts. The biggest thing I have a problem with is that, unlike protagonists from other novels where they can fight above their own realm, this protagonist can only fight below his own realm. Even though he's a grandmaster at the point where I'm at, he still struggles to fight against those many levels below himself. And if it's someone at the same stage, he's certain that he'll lose and won't dare to fight. Heck, he even concocted a pill to save a heinous villain, because he was scared to fight someone weaker than him and stand up for himself... And that is with him having 3 divine beasts to fight along with him. So yeah, the protagonist grows fast, but he is undeniably quite underpowered and spineless. Another thing I hate is his blatant stupidity. If you hate protagonists with room temperature IQ, you won't like this MC. 9 out 10 fights, the MC will not even fight. Even if the enemies are so weak that he could kill them with a sneeze, he will still hide somewhere and let his pet beast slowly poison them to death. It's honestly boring how useless he is. At this point, I thought he would destroy the Shao family because he's already a lot stronger than them. But no, apparently he's not strong enough and needs to escape. They have like 1 grandmaster patriarch, while he is a team of 4 grandmasters, with 3 of them being divine beasts. Really, my guy? Really!? How fucking useless can you be. So yeah, those are some snippets of what to expect from this novel. Weak and brainless protagonist, who will bend over while bullied.

It has a good premise, but like many other novels, it gets ruined by a badly designed protagonist. There are also many plot holes. For instance, Hunter's Mind, a passive that limits his emotions so he can remain calm. It stops working randomly, because the MC still start crying for no reason, scream out in shock or just generally overreact to any little thing. It should by default also negate the negative aspects of his bloodlust characteristic, but it doesn't work there either. Overall, that thing only works when the author feels like it should, which just makes it annoying. Protagonist is weak as hell. He's also stupidly paranoid for no reason. My guy really thinks that smartphones can be tracked by anyone at will, but non-smartphones can't be used for tracking. They track your phone through cell towers, my guy. In other words, if you make a call, you get tracked. Doesn't matter if you have a smart or dumb phone. And this MC considers himself intelligent... Features you would consider basic for a system requires a vast amount of resources to unlock, so aside from improving his stats, the system can't do anything else for him. Basically nothing in this novel makes sense. Everyone acts super freaking weird. Like what kind of sportswear store even has ex-military bouncers to keep people who look poor out? What is this, ancient china? If the protagonist wasn't so stupid, weak and paranoid, the novel might be more palatable...

Honestly, at first I thought this novel would be heading in an awesome direction. Dude basically has unlimited resources and even years of experience in the apocalypse. But just a few days in and he's pretty much clueless about everything. Every zombie is a new zombie and every event never seemed to have happened before, making his regression utterly pointless. His unlimited resources that could sustain an army are also pointless, because from just day 1, every other human in existence has lost their humanity, thereby making it impossible for the MC to find teammates. Normally finding a powerful shelter should be prio 1 for a regressor. Not for this MC. He lives in a brittle apartment complex or whatever. It's not until his place was easily smashed by a random zombie that he reluctantly went to find a safer place. As for strength, you'd think someone with years of experience fighting in the apocalypse would be very powerful and have full knowledge of how to deal with many zombies. Yeah, well, forget about it. MC has no knowledge about any type of zombie and his combat ability is so trash that every fight will be a life and death struggle. You might as well ignore levels and strength boosts, because they do absolutely nothing. You might also think that since the MC has spatial power and can literally cut space itself, he would be able to ignore defence. No, his spatial blades can easily be blocked by zombies. Just a few days in, the zombies are so ridiculously powerful that the protagonist has to hide away in fear. For every level the MC goes up, zombies will go up by 2, making it seem like he just gets weaker and weaker.

Warning: I am someone who enjoys novels with strong protagonists, so this review will be based on that aspect. MC is too weak and his mentality is like that of a little bitch boy. Two system users have been introduced up to chapter 56, of which the second system was far more impressive than the MC's. That person could take and use any ability at will, while the MC can only temporarily borrow abilities and needs to switch between them. He can inverse the abilities, but if you expect him to make good use of that, you'll be disappointed. In pretty much every fight so far, his performance has been severely underwhelming. At first, you'd think after his 6 years of grinding and reaching level 85 with awesome stats, you'd think he was awesome, right? But no. He's around the same level as other random youths. Heck, when he ended up in a draw with that 1 super weakling who made use of slaves to fight, I was about the drop the novel right then and there. I imagined in the first round, he'd just go in and knock 3 people out in an instant and finish it first. But is that what our system MC did? No, he fought with 1 guy and then only barely managed to get the last place qualification through cheating. Another thing that irked me is that the MC considered himself as someone incredibly rational... and then proceeded to act as the most irrational village idiot I've ever seen. Anyway, I reached chapter 56 and I'm stopping here. If you enjoy a powerful MC that stomps the competition, then this novel is not for you. If you like an irrational MC that is overemotional, literally shakes in fear when facing enemies and is very scared of killing people, this novel is for you.

While the novel isn't good and I don't really recommend it, I just want to point out that this reviewer is full of shit and speaks out of his ass. He certainly didn't forgive the guy right away. In fact, he cut him into pieces and "Killed" him several times. Because of his special ability, he is immortal, but in exchange, he can't kill others, so there was nothing either of them could do. You could also argue that he wasn't the one who killed her, but she died because of his mercenary group. So with that nonsense explained, I might as well mention another thing. Perhaps this reviewer thinks it's a great idea to have young characters speak like idiots. But if you think of the reader's point of view, you certainly wouldn't want to read toddler-speech for the first 20 chapters. Again, it's just the reviewer speaking without thinking again. MC's father was supposedly an awesome and famous person, but for some reason, he's not allowed to tell anyone. It has never been explained why, and it wasn't like he was trying to hide his identity in the first place, as it seems his family are the only white haired people on the continent. Nobody can guess they're related? Anyway, I went off on a tangent. His evil aunt stole their inheritance, so that's why they had nothing. Even their father's corpse was supposedly not found. I don't remember what the reviewer complained about anymore, but I'm sure he didn't understand that part either. Not sure if I missed anything, but basically nothing he said was correct.

Another unnecessary lie, huh.
