Divine Brilliance

Absolutely love this book. Definitely one of my all time favorite cultivation novels. Just wish the author hadn’t gotten sick and had time to wrap it up better

If you think this is another wuxia trope full of cliche stereotypes, then you're completely right - BUT with the exception that the author has used a nice twist on each of the cliche. Trash MC that cant cultivate, but then magically solves his physique problems? Got it, but it takes a long time, and as of chapter 170, he's still struggling with it. Childhood fiance that comes to break up the engagement? Got it, but then due to righteousness sticks with the MC, as it would go against her values to go against her father's arrangement and kick a person just because he's down. Arrogant sect comes to take revenge after a few insignificant disciples being beaten (and thus in their eyes being humiliated)? Got it, but then the sect comes to apologise after learning that it was actually their disciples that were in the wrong.

So yup, full of cliches, but they're refreshing. Another thing that's refreshing is the eccentric and very humoristic characters in the story. Yea, again, they're cliche, but they're pretty funny, and they each have their small quirk. Although the characters aren't that developed, it's a huge improvement to character development compared to many many other Chinese novels out there, where sometimes sidecharacters don't even have a sentence to describe them.

Though full of mild praise, the world background is pretty convoluted, and the reader is only introduced to a small area of the world as you go along. Although this avoids information dumps, after 100+ chapters, it's pretty hard to figure out where the MC is in this world, and what the world actually looks like. On the topic of convoluted, the martial system is pretty difficult to understand, he opens meridians to advance, but there are never give  a clear explanation to as what element meridians belong to which level or how many meridians he should open of each. Things are kind of mentioned on the fly, making the read just having to deal with it by accepting it. E.g., suddenly the author could mention, "now I've broken through the water meridian and opened my acupuncture, I'm now 1 step close to the martial warrior stage". Great, but how does this work? How many acupuncture do you have to open? What elements are there? Etc. Just reading about it, makes it all seem so messy - where if the author explained the system proactively, the reader would be able to keep track of the MCs progress.

Another thing is the release stability - pretty damn horrible I'd say. Last release (as of writing) was 10 days ago, and before that it was pretty spotty with around a new chapter every 4~9 days. This really sucks, especially when this a really unique wuxia novel that does it's best to stand out from the crowd. So @translator, if you cant do your job stably, give it to someone else, hire more help, or give a clear message on what readers can expect from you. It says 8 chapters a week, but you're FAR from fulfilling that!

Regarding the translation quality, there are some mistakes in both translation and grammar. Move over, there are mistakes in for example translating key information like the martial warrior stages, where one stage is used twice. Big no no, that a basic proof read should have caught.

Overall, interesting story, funny characters with a world that feels developed. I hope that there will come a main heroine soon to bring some romance into the story, and a reveal of a deeper plot, which it really needs. So far the author has tried to hold back on filler chapters, but the translator stability and quality is a downside. I'd give the story 4.5/5, but the translator is bringing this story down by a notch.

TL;DR: Give it a go, if you like wuxia novels and you're looking for something refreshing with a different spin.

I honestly tried to give it a chance but this novel makes no sense. It mentions so many unexplainable things that are probably thrown in there to make the MC more op. Annoying. Even the synopsis has a few grammatical errors. I was very tempted to write a review that gave a lesson on the English language and why that synopsis shouldn't exist in this world but then I remembered that Qidian doesn't pay me a salary.

The translator randomly posts chapter in any order as per his his fancy. This is not an error that occurs once but has happened at least 5 times in the past few months. It destroys the story continuity and wastes the spirit stones. Also stops notifications when the actual chapters in sequence release because it's not the most recent chapter.

Dropped. Inconsistent release.

PENTAGON's Hui won second place on Mnet's music battle show "BREAKERS."
The finale included the Top 4 participants: Hui, Penomeco, Seo Samuel, and Mia. Penomeco won 1st place on the show.
During the finale, Hui performed his self-composed song "For You," a track expressing that he will keep on going despite the hardships in life, because there are always people watching over him.
"BREAKERS" is a show where singer-songwriters battle by producing songs according to a theme or concept.
Congratulations, Hui!

Look at these old men, rating it 1 star for having a harem. Legit, in the synopsis, "surrounded by beauties."

If you don't like harem and already read the synopsis, go away and read something else. No need to rate it 1 star. Plus, harems aren't the only factors in a story so rating it 1 star is just prejudice.

God damn scums.

It's just typical transmigration story like other stories in Webnovel.
MC get back to the past, have beautiful females on his side, bullied, learning superb skills that only he knows
It's just so-so in my opinion

another interesting novel

So the reason this deserves a bad review imo, is because it’s ultimately pointless to read a novel that was canceled. Even if it’s super cool there’s literally no conclusion.
The author decided to abandon the novel on chapter 1228, though he did apologize. But just that makes reading this novel, a colossal waste of time. It had some promise at the start, but the whole story fell apart around chapter 800, and the whole novel becomes an unredeemable disappointment.

I read upto 650 chap it's some what enjoyable but after he takes the constant and becomes king it's fall for me

I enjoyed this. Too bad about the massive cliffhanger ending

Something happened at chapter 33. Every sentence stopped making sense
