It took a long time to read, but I will try with minimal to no spoilers. The sum of my review is based on when I read a story, I want to be glad I spent my time on it. I want to celebrate the characters and the choices they made. At the very least I want to see character growth, of which the MC had basically none. His character did not grow or fall; he was as flat as could be. He was just there to play the role. The only thing that changed was his increase in strength. The story is fun because of everything around him, but a lot of stories here are fun. So it really doesn't win anything. This is why I say if you haven't read it, feel free not to. But if you have, feel free to finish your investment. Onto more technical aspects that may matter to you: The story has great world-building. Many webnovels based around systems/cultivations have tiers of worlds the MC grows through, but it often becomes repetitive and boring. That does not happen *as much* here. I can think of two tiers that were excellent. Most characters are interesting, with only a few falling flat. Even so, they are not major distractions, just pointless. MC does not build a harem which I appreciate, but the author does fall into the culturally stereotypical depictions of female beauty with the occasional (rare in comparison to my estimate of the average webnovel on this site) use of sexually charged language. I can think of one female character who was very well-written with a great character arc, which was awesome. I forget if the author uses sexual analogies to describe situations. The Legendary Mechanic did it so much and I read both at the same time, so I am not sure if Super Gene did as well or not. If it did, it did it less and was less extreme. The repetitive use of words and overly lengthy descriptions to boost word count is kept to a decent minimum, though still present at times. So it is above average for a webnovel, but I am not the type to recommend novels based on the average, which is quite poor here. I don't know if this helps. Honestly, I feel like it doesn't, so I am sorry. I read this over a few years, so the minute details are hard to remember compared to the general feel.

My feelings of finishing this story is just, "it ended." Is it worth reading? Not really, but it is also not a bad read. It has its ups and downs, and I am generally satisfied with how it ended. The author did a good job overall, and it is an above average read for this website. But as I am fine with reading it, I would also have been fine not reading it. I guess my final summary is if you haven't read it, feel free not to. If you have, feel free to finish.

While it depends on your taste, thus far my highest rated completed wevnovels here are "Lord of Mysteries" and "Solo Leveling." My highest-rated ongoing novel that I have confidence in is "Is That A Wisp?" by Suiyan. Suiyan in particular is an excellent author who has stated he will do no harems, which has allowed him to include a lot more romantic depth across characters, with their romantic interest even shifting from the MC to other side characters without creating friction, which no other author I have yet read on this site has done or attempted to do. If I remember more, I will update. I hope this helps.
