I also considered dropping this novel by 200+ chapter due to dull, repetitive dungeoning and MCs OPness, but I persisted, and it pays me off. Before, I can’t count how many times I spouted a chapter as unnecessary, but turns out to be necessary. This novel got me attached to the side characters, more so to our beloved Happy. What’s interesting to this novel too is that no one can be considered villains; everyone had their own reasons why they struggle and fight, which are relatable and sometimes pitiful. The world building is excellent, story narration is flawless, and translation quality is top notch. This is the best web novel I’ve ever read.
Standard IET stuff. Honestly all his books are the same and reading one means you read them all. I see no difference between Ji Ning, Qin Yu, Xu Jingming, etc are all literally the same character. But thats fine, people who are reading IET for the first time will get something that isnt straight garbage but I have a big problem with this particular novel.I can *feel* the nationalism when I read this. IET wasnt making it subtle whatsoever here. China #1 can be felt throughout my first 100 or so chapters, lemme explain. So the entire world is given VR technology and when they go online they can practice martial arts. After a while a ranking ranking is made with the strongest at the top and guess which nationality 2 of the top 3 are? Thats right folks, its granddaddy China with the other from Botswana. It just seems like China is naturally more talented than every other country by a wide margin. Lets not even get into the comments from the live streaming in VR, its constantly about oh man, these expert martial artists from [other country] are strong, but China is still better.I think the funniest example is in chapter 148 when the strongest from Korea is made out to be an arrogant mf who is going around challenging the top 3 just to get more views on his live stream. I feel like IET's recent novels have lost the magic from Desolate Era, Swallowed Star, COILING DRAGON, Stellar Transformation, etcand part of that is the nationalism here, while in the other recent novels its been a lot more logical. In his earlier works the MC got super lucky at the start and then had to muddle through the entire universe just to be the best and in recent time the MCs dont get lucky, they were just naturally talented and got some benefits here and there that make sense. My problem is that making sense doesnt carry the same *brilliance* of a moment like in Desolate Era where Ji Ning gets the inheritance and starts his journey or when Lou Feng died fighting the Gold Dragon.
Absolutely the best novel of this genre that I have ever read, the story is top notch and the characters are well made, and the world is interesting and well made even though it is only the sixteenth chapter I am already absolutely hooked to this story. But if I had to say one bad thing that would be the typical reader problem of not enough chapters :( but do not take that as an insult or something like that since I totally get that putting out more than a few chapters per week or something like that is not possible with this kind of writing quality. This would be the first novel that I would be willing to pay for chapters even though I usually do not do that, but if possible would definitely prefer that it would be free. Keep up the great work and keep writing:) all the best to you.
now this book is in my top 3.. very very good and u wont find any other books that the MC cheat need him snorting white powder, hes an addict.. oh btw.. if possible read this at night it will make you sleep easier because its a very warming story
Praying to the author, thank you for this novel you have written for your devoted readers. We will read with all our might, promote with all our might, and help you raise through the rankings. Brothers and sisters, let us band together against gods, devils, dragons, hell, and heaven to land at No. 1. Let this pray end. Amen.
The idea of this novel is quite interesting. And I am sure that the Author put some efforts to this novel. I liked the storyline. But I think you should polish your writing style a little bit. But in general, this is quite unique story. I have never read anything like this.
Tang Ling only traversed two hundred meters inside but could see the atmosphere of the hall: elegant and carefree. Multiple small rivers inside were relaxing and Tang Ling could hear some chirps of birds inside a small garden. It was as though it was a small world, a utopia!
