Child of Destiny

Shin is in a word a absolute OP mc and should meet Arthur in game to rival him and maybe take him down a notch. Oh and monkey ill review ur chaps and write wat u should fix if u want me to if ur still looking for one. Overall really good story and keep it up dude.

This novel is truly a breath of fresh air. It combines a real cultivation world and a virtual one interestingly. A hidden gem in my opinion. I hope more people could review and vote for this great novel ;) Keep up the good work author!

It's a really nice story, nice character development. I hope that the gaming part gets a bit more structure, I would suggest the writer to refer The King's Avatar on writing the gaming side of the story. But I am ready to accept all these little short comings hoping that the writing will get better as the story progresses.
To sum it up it's a great work and I recommend everyone to read atleast 30 chapters before dropping this book.

Honestly I kept skipping this book when it cam up on my recommendations. I regret tgat I kept skipping it because this is a really good book. At first the writing was a bit touchy in places, but it got better over time. The story plot is really good as well. I still have not found out what the brother's IGN is yet, and I cant wait. There are times where I think there was too much information overload. For example, seeing all that information on his status. Other than that the story flows really well.

I normally don't drop novels this fast, but I got too pissed off.  I don't know about everyone else, but personally I started this novel partially because I saw that the MC was raised as a killer after being kidnapped by a dark organisation. I normally gravitate to these stories because it means the MC is ruthless and broken which makes for interesting reading (not raised to be assassin, but Supreme Magus is a great example of broken character). But then there is a timeskip and they are now teenagers. These two prodigies, who have grown up competing and sharpening each other every day get bullied by their slightly older sister who we have never had any indication is strong. Very annoying, but I accepted it and chalked it up to a staple of the genre, despite how infuriating it is. But then he gets attacked by a girl, randomly and with no provocation. So what happens. Does this MC who was raised as a weapon until the age of 9 fight back? Does the MC, who had to survive by fighting both male and female kids his own age to survive retaliate? No, he fucking doesn't. He takes it. Then she attacks him again. Is he finally  provoked, and pushed to reveal a little of his killer instinct? Hell no. He doesn't like hitting women. Then when she attacks him again and pushes him to fight, and he wins, does he show any kind of ruthlessness? No he politely says goodbye, and says she can find him any time. This, in simple terms is a complete betrayal of who he is as a character, and it's a complete betrayal of the readers who have invested in the character. So dropped.

So, while the story is mostly enjoyable, I have been having trouble with the mindset of the MC. he was raised as an assassin. From 3 years old. While I don't know what a child assassin mindset would be like...I would assume he was trained to be patient, listen, be aware, take in information before acting, and would generally be colder and more indifferent to people. Unfortunately, while he has his moments of brilliance in planning and fighting,  his overall attitude, intelligence, social perception, and thoughtfulness are equivalent to some of the worst Japanese isekai protagonist s I have ever read. In other words...he's dumber than a baked potato.  Then there are the side characters...everyone has this laissez faire, forgetful attitude that makes it near impossible to treat all but a few of the characters with any sort of seriousness...no matter their importance or power level.  That, and the translation quality make me rate this book lower than it could be.

Kid who was kidnapped at 3 years old, held in terrorist organization hideout and trained brutally for 6 years. Being beaten, forced to train, being brainwashed to be a mindless killer, being thrown into a room with all other kids and told 'last one to survive is free to go' and ends up being the last man standing. After all of this, SWAT raids the hideout and he gets rescued, not only does he have NO trauma, he acts like a grownup while talking with others, he trusts some random man to adopt him, agrees, goes home with the man and after 2 weeks of being there he GETS A FRIEND who is his age. How would a kid with past like that be able to trust anyone, not to mention make a friend? And to top it off, the 'friend' who is martal arts genius, who trained a lot, but only sparred, never had to fight for his life, somehow manages to fight the MC to a tie in a duel? The character design is very, very bad. His background is a massive plothole. No idea why the author would introduce a background like that, only to make the MC 'normal'.
