Despite the fact that I like the story there are many glaring issues. The cultivation system doesn’t make sense. You can either be a martial artist, a mage, or both. In order to increase your rank you must open up meridians which there are nine of. However if you practice both then you need to share so the ratio becomes 5/4 which means you are weaker than a pure mage and martial artist when instead you should be stronger so the concept doesn’t make sense. Instead it should be different concepts such as using dark energy to increase bodily functions, and strength for martial artists and for mages they could convert that energy into mana which is stored somewhere in the body. The author also creates these “spaces” that are very confusing and quite frankly shouldn’t exist.
In all honest way this story overly glorified and emotionalized and lacking morally and intelligently.The main character, Zhang Ye, is brain dead and lacking originality. Blatantly plagiarizing and getting 'money' and becoming famous at the same time and gaining awards and what not. Why? Because people 'think' he's a genius producer, writer, host, professor and a lot more.Rather relying on the so called system that 'can' bring him the talent he needs, he instead acts in all kinds of wrong ways and worse the author puts on him the righteous banner and others the shameless banner and make them all ape**** dumb like an evil young master from a cultivation novel.There was potential but it was so quickly drowned by sensationalism and hilarity that barely anyone notices it. Now as situations go on and on in a very lame excuse of a repetitive cycle. Merely because of something 'bad' happened in his work place which kinda(?) guaranteed in every 'Fucking' Arc.And hell don't get me started on the fucking hacking Arc. He fucking literally ruined a country and cost a loss of billions and most importantly, fucking lives. People bankrupt and patients dying in the hospital because of a fucking unending variation of a virus paralyzing all computers in the country. And worse, the author didn't mention no **** about this big problem and took it with the attitude of a 'serves you right' on the mc.And this is one of biggest plot problems in this story. And when he get's caught he did what? spent 4 years away from his daughter advancing technology in prison. Jesus fucking christ, are you aware how many lives he ruined because of a malicious group of hackers? Rather than defending or helping your country from them, you outright attack their country as that reason?Childish, petty, narrow-minded, shameless, hypocritical and greedy for fame, Zhang Ye does a lot of things in all sorts industries on his way to become a superstar and becoming a supervillain along the way.Boy, I am glad I didn't try to 'seriously' read this story or else I would've been filled with rage and disappointment. I suggest for anyone reading this to not take this ever seriously and go for the giggles and laughs and faceslapping or what not.
I am back. As I promised, a review after reading 200+ chapters. Currently I have read till chapter 400, so I believe I might be able to shed some more light on this story and what you can expect.To began with, I am reading this through raws, so I can't comment on translator quality or stability of update. But, from the already released 60 chapters, the translation quality is readable but not exactly upto the bar.One thing I like about the story is it's simplicity. Until now, author has stayed true to the main theme of the story : collecting debt and bringing back the bank to its former glory. Most CN stories seem to forget why they started the story. Everything just seems to spiral out of control. Every arc will have its own mission. There is no end goal.But here you can see what the story is about. MC doesn't deviates from ut. It does has smaller arcs but they are there to support and fill in the main theme. Another thing which makes me like this story more is short filler arcs. Oh, there are fillers arcs, short side story arcs, supporting chapters and what not. But author clearly recognises on where to stop. You won't find stupid tournament arcs or trasure hunting arcs stretching over several tens of chapters. Coming to the MC. He's OP. Which actually suits the theme of the story. He doesn't acts like your genric OP MC. You won't find him bullying people or slaughtering families. In fact, he rarely leaves the bank. It's mostly his ever increasing group of subordinates who collect debt. Only when they kick a hard stubble will the MC come to deal with it.Now about his personality. Please don't expect proper character building and depth. He's no character from ASOIF or something from the hands of Sanderson, Abercrombie or Butcher. He's quite simple and honestly, one dimensional. One thing in his favour is his modern sensibilities.Atleast until now I haven't seem him having any inclination for harem. Infact he dislikes harem. So harem haters will definitely like this. He's not dense and something is building between him and Seven. It's not romance but there are flirting moments here and there. I won't spoil it further but its pretty good for a non romantic CN novel.And yes he's not stupid. You can see why he's making a deal. He knows when he can rip someone off and when he has to stay neutral. Pretty good imo.One thing which ticks me off, is side charcter development. They are fanatical in belief to the level of zealots. The angels have NO character growth or development. They are like NPCs to help the MC. Only needed when a side quest requires it. Pretty sad. They could have fleshed out the story further. But I can see that author wants to play safe. Dealing with multiple characters is not a simple task. You need to balance the fine line between too less and too much.World development is a bit icky. You have ten mortal world's, nine immortal worlds and one big celestial/divine world. The raw terms are a bit confusing so please forgive me if these do not match the translation. The world is not exactly fleshed out. You know it's there but that's it. It's both good and bad. You don't have long arcs wasted on/in other worlds but at the same time , you don't have much impression of those worlds.I haveany more things to say, but I will story here. I will just summarise the whole review.Pro : 1: Single goal. No nonsense targets or anything.2: Very less filler.3: No Harem.4: MC with modern sensibilities.5: MC is not stupid Cons :1: one dimensional character.2: Zealot subordinates and no development.3: No world development.Note :1: OP MCThat's it for now. Cya.
The grammar does need a little bit of editing. But that's just a technical part of being a writer. The story matters more. For a webnovel, the idea is different and somewhat unique. Video game lovers would definitely have a blast, reading this as they embark on a fantasy adventure with the characters. It's 8 chapters in so I cannot comment on the story development yet. Please do update more :)

wow this story is so different the plot twist the characters the name the title everything goes hand in hand I would highly recommend this book and I'll be supporting your work wel done author
This Novel sat in my Library for quite a while because of the negative comments ... a month ago I thought about giving it a shot ... it's true the writing quality is bad but it has improved a bit with time. Character development took OKish but it still requires quite a brushing ..... But the most disappointing thing is the use of Heavy Plot Armours .. repeatedly.. Certain bets and terms /deals were used according to the wordings " you have to follow every command of mine / I will own everything you have if I win " and people readily agrees ( People are not that stupid and these are not ordinary people who we are talking about but powerhouses! ) without thinking the pros-cons of such a deal . Take example of Yanagi , a senior at his institute and most the powerful youth , readily agreed to the term " you will obey every command ... " if one could interpret , it is similar to a slave contract ! , ( My words ) , it should be properly mentioned what " everything" means in this novel - everything could include ones money , property , Mana Fruits , and Weapons but it can also include ones time , body , soul , his wife / husband and family... a clear cut defination is Very much required .. And don't talk about the Plot Armours... if one is giving it a try.... they will surely understand what I mean ...While the chapters are relased frequently , this story is not my Cup of tea ...Dropping it ..
