I actually quite enjoy this novel. From the characters, their various interactions, the world building, even the sometimes questionable and overly mysterious plot. Author also does well in regard to not neglecting the harem members despite their continued growth in number, they each have a unique charm that sets them apart from one another. My main gripe with this novel is in how the author refuses to advance the MCā€™s Order. Anyone familiar with this genre have all read novels where the MC would be stagnant at a single level for dozens if not 100-200 chapters, but at least the reasons given were understandable and werenā€™t worth harping over. Here, that isnā€™t remotely close to being the problem as the MC advances by means of XP. The issue here is that itā€™s been accumulating for hundreds of chapters and the MC advances at a snails pace or not at all even if the situation calls for it. He can be facing death and rather than use the XP he has to perhaps make a last ditch effort, on several occasions he has just accepted the fact that he may just die. Isnā€™t that absolutely ridiculous? At this point, itā€™s clear that the author is just using this as a plot device to introduce more challenges to the MC and increase tension, but itā€™s done poorly and feels forced every single time. The initial excuse was that the MC wanted to refine his powers before advancing, then after a time it changed to him not arousing suspicion from others if he were to advance too fast. Previously, that made sense, but as of now when he should(author somehow always manages to introduce someone who can threaten his life every few dozen chapters) have no equal outside of the Main Continent, those reasons no longer matter. As of late, I had hope that heā€™d finally start utilizing his XP and advancing because apparently he can easily reach Peak 6th Order and it was stated that heā€™d start being less cautious, but not even a dozen chapters later and he almost dies once again. The author may as well be treating his readers as a joke at this point with such a glaring flaw in the story that has not been addressed after so long of many people pointing it out. Still a good read, but prepare yourself to be frustrated to no end when this type of situation continues to occur.

Novel isnā€™t bad, but itā€™s mediocre at best in all honesty. The way the MC was introduced, I sort of expected more from him, but was let down. Especially the initial chapters with how he barged into a Sect and toyed with their disciples, showing no regard to even their Sect Leaders. Things start going downhill from there when heā€™s relegated to an Outer Sect Disciple and has to slowly work his way up despite how powerful he is. This brings up another point Iā€™m not a fan of, which is how rigid these characters are about his cultivation level and whatnot. The Cultivation World is one that speaks with strength is it not? Oneā€™s level of Cultivation is not a direct correlation and shouldnā€™t decide everything. If that was the case, the author shouldnā€™t have allowed for the MC to keep his prior Magic and strength if heā€™s just going to be looked down upon despite seemingly being overwhelmingly stronger than everyone introduced thus far. The MC likes to refer to those weaker than him as ants, but he plays by their rules for whatever reason and entertains their antics and disrespect. Not to mention the ā€œromance/haremā€ if you can even call it that. Thus far, the primary reason women are even attracted to him is because of his Physique. The charm he himself holds is underwhelming, especially after the large blunder he made with Mu Lin. Of course, my thoughts are only based off of what I read from the freely available chapters so I donā€™t know if things get better, but what I read so hard wasnā€™t enough to persuade me reading any further.
