For the love of god and everything you believe or don't believe in: don't be foolishly swayed like I was by the water army who sings praises to this novel. It starts out decievingly well and has a good premise, and manages to go strong for a little while before brazely dropping the act and showing its true colors.
Quick summary: mc is an incomprehensible moron who gets praised to highest heaven as the Supreme Genius Stragegist for having a half-decent/obvious plan once in a blue moon; as for the other 99,99% of the screentime he whiteknights around collecting bimbos in distress, getting his arse handed to him EVERY. SINGLE. TIME., only to be bailed out by unexplained coincidense / "awakened instincts" that are never mentioned again / enemies suddenly gaining a new set of chromosomes in exchange for half of their IQ / convenient moment of luckyness / deus ex machina (this time literally) / plot armor / a random loli that in a single second gains more power than mc ever had and finishes off a boss with a single lvl.1 fireball (yes, seriously).
Have mercy on your nerve endings and spleen, just don't read it.
Shitty. Complete crap.... I wish i could give lesser stars... Just another story with a character who thinks with his lower end. Naive, disgusting and all the more ****
'Gate of Revelation' has a good concept, and it is implemented rather well, specially how the characters are connected to each other.
However, like many Chinese novels, this one, too, suffers from what I call the 'Counterfeit Glory', which means exaggerating and glorifying everything Chinese, and rejecting and shaming other cultures and traditions.
I have never, until now, written a review to diss a novel, this is the first time. The trigger was in Chapter 637, where a character, named Yang Lin says to a Swiss woman that she doesn't know integrity as her country proclaimed to stay neutral while secretly helping the nazis.
So the question that arises is, is China a righteous country ?
We won't go into details and create a debate whether China is a good or bad country - it has no end to it.
No country is righteous, that is one we must accept. It feels so sad to see such biased views in a novel you like reading.
Writers like Dancing, and that of novels like "I'm really a superstar" need to learn from Er Mu, the writer of 'Release That Witch'.
RTW has a mature protagonist, who does not spend his time dissing others, nor is he a loser who acts arrogantly because of some system. and he surely does not show himself off like a superstar after stealing other people's works. RTW also acknowledges and respects homosexuals. Where other authors create vicious jokes on them, Er Mu surprisingly shows us the touching romance and love between two females, Princess Tilly and Ashes. This shows the difference between these authors.
There are two things that I find are present in poor quality novels, like this one - 1) Arrogance 2) Irresponsible and cowardice.
1) A protagonist needs to be strong and still humble. If he is not a good person, and cannot be used as a reference for self improvement, why the hell must we read that novel ? Although Chen Xiaolian acts as a good person, there are many instances where we see his overly arrogant side which is usually unnecessary. The various scenes of discrimination are enough to provide proof.
2) A protagonist is a leader and a winner. There is no use and no reason for us to read a story about a loser- after all, there are many losers while there is only one winner. So it is very irritating to see a protagonist which has strength to act cowardly and selfishly. There is no need for me to write much, a comparison between 'Roland Wimbledon' from Release that Witch and Chen Xiaolian from Gate of Revelation is enough to tell that.
In short, it is a pity to lose such excellent works just because of their author's biased thoughts.
I love this story but its update frequency is annoyingly slow. If you read the first few chapters the mc describes his own update frequency as an author. That's basically the update frequency for this. Lol. But so far I think ********** has caught up to the author.
Just read the first chapter... Giving my support to creators for the efforts and the kindness of sharing the work with us. It's not easy to please everyone so keep the hard work and shine on. Best wishes

No updates for a long time, no translator anymore.
