On chapter 4519 and took a break for a couple months cause I'm getting burnt out on how long everything in this novel drags on. Came back and still feel like it's just dragging. Can't get back into it at all. At some point your just doing to much and adding to much and it gets just annoying. I think I'm gonna drop this one. Loved it for a long time but man it's just dragging.

THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS.

Nothing major just about how the mc acts and some reasons explaining the points of why I am wanting to drop. (Hopefully the author can clear some of it up?)

The two major problems for me that stand out above everything else, that is making me want to drop are, When does he stop becoming a slave to his "uncle"? I just cbf to waste any more time on this if doesn't stop soon. I mean he should already have his doubts about him already.

From all his supposed intelligence the mc was shown to have during the earlier chapters, it's baffling how he doesn't have some doubts. His town was supposedly killed by beasts but he is magically the only one still alive? He doesn't remember anything but when he does or tries to it is painful?

He should have had his doubts in his "uncle" considering these facts but still believe in him considering all the time they spent together. However, it should have become frighteningly clear that something is wrong after speaking to Lan.

Let's not forget what he called the uncle and even hinted at why. But the most important thing is he learnt about the soul/mental technique. He can make someone kill themselves, take their memories etc. This should have made it glaringly obvious and confirmed his doubts about something about his uncle is wrong. He should know that if he can do it, what is stopping an even stronger person doing it to him? Or is he so fcking arrogant to ignore this?

He should have realised that his supposed memory loss is because of a soul/mental technique. Then adding on all the other clues he has been given then he should rly be starting to doubt his "uncle" and start realising some of the truth...

However, it's like let's just ignore all that and keep the mc as a dog/slave/pet of the uncle. Make the mc seeth with rage everyone says something to discredit his master and be a good little pet and make him proud...

I honestly can't stand it and rly want the author to just get on with it. The whole memory, adding on with all these clues should have acc lead to something.

Another thing is the whole rage thing... I liked his other personality better. Where he didn't care about what others thought. Ignored them and only went after people who are directly after him. Now lately it's just been the mc acting like a fcking madman for no reason.

I'm guessing it's because of the scripture or his special body that is giving him the rage. It was mentioned it was half the rage and the other half was him the calm side so maybe he has a beast side?

However, how long does this last, when or does he reach a balance? I don't want to read about a psychopath madman that just wants to kill everything... compared to his first personality its a difference between night and day.

I dunno just cbf to read about an mc losing control constantly going on a rampage every time he fights... plus it always starts or ends with the mc always smiling EVERY SINGLE TIME. Like we get it he is crazy. Do you have to mention the smile that everyone notices but him every time he fights or about to battle??

But yeah, prefer the mc having some intelligence like it was made out he had but in reality, he doesn't...

Yeah, anyway gl to Author

I really loved this book but the ending was not satisfying at all. I absolutely HATE how it ended. You left no room for redemption at all. I am devastated how it ended. I kept holding out hope for real forgiveness and a chance for him to redeem himself but I was so let down I want to cry.

in my opinion i believe that this is an awesome story. im currently on chapter 130 and i cant see why the ratings is on 3.8. i mean sure the grammar isnt the best but its not like you have to turn your brain off to read it. the thing it lacks most is the the commas. sometimes its pretty hard to read when theres no seperation and i had to peice some if the words tigether in my mind. anyway im only on chapter 130 and havent read the whole thing hence i cant say anything else other than how its going pretty good so far.

Hi, have the following comments and hence dropping it as it is different than what I initially thought.

1. The MC is shown has smart and cautious character, but he is anything but that. In fact many times, he just acts like a madman and then tries to justify the action through some reasoning. Maybe the author intends it to be this way, but this is not my cup of tea. For instance, he goes way back to the capital to save his friend from people with too high cultivation, when he could have intercepted and saved him whilst he was escorted to the capital. And in the end, the friend dies. .

2. The MC is shown to be smart, learned and talented with amazing comprehension. But when he wants to unlock a storage ring which is usually through sense/qi/blood, he goes to a competitor and owes him a favour for telling him to use blood to open the ring.

3. The brotherhood of the MC and dog is very forced. Usually the development of such bond between the characters should be smooth and felt by the readers, but here the author just keeps on harping about friendship every other paragraph for many chapters to come.

This is my favorite LN of all time. The quality of the character writing and development, world-building, and progression as well as the actual presence of nuanced themes in this novel are peerless. This is not a novel for those who want to journey with an indestructible mc; even though the mc does get overpowered at the end, the bulk of the story and the reader's emotional investment focus on his struggle to become not just pointlessly overpowered, but overpowered enough to do something meaningful. I will say that because this story circumnavigates the cheap instant gratification qualities that factor into a large portion of other light novels, it can feel as though it is dragging on and the author is focusing too much on depth, thus slowing the tempo down to a slow crawl. However, the author has a unique ability to ensure that even those parts of the story are valuable, so those moments end up becoming some of the most satisfying and nostalgic parts later.

Best combat writing ever.
