I like the descriptive fights however they can become boring after a while. The world background is pretty fleshed out but there seems to be a lot that the Author still haven't shown the readers yet. The process of gaining power is pretty interesting and the explanations are good. It has so many time skips its annoying. There a like 10 time skips for multiple years and dozens of time skips that skip months.I dislike character design of the MC. His thirst for power is just utterly insane, I understand that being his over-arching goal however he just completely removes anything from his life that won't help him in gaining more power. Later on he just becomes a total sociopath. When hiding he kills anyone who enters his general area when he could easily avoid them. He regularly summons and sends hundreds of insane creatures to attack towns (btw they literally hate all living things and actually DESTROY matter/energy, their entire desire is to devour the world) just so he can have up to a 25% increase in his physical ability. A duke sets a bounty on him so he completely destroys the dukes town of over a thousand people. He also has no point for wanting power. He is willing to kill thousands of innocent people, civilians, men, women and children just so he can have pointless power. He doesn't want friendship or luxury or love or ideals. He just wants power cause he hates the feeling of being weak and not in control. His mental age is 38 but his mindset is that of an absolute child.
Question for the author, are you English speaking and do you write raw in English or is it translated? Your reviews read very well but the actual synopsis and the novel read very poorly like a swiftly done translation, I admire your dedication and creativity regardless.
I lost some brain cells reading this just by the amount of forced plots, the stupid motivations behind characters actions and when the author makes the mc stupid just to keep the plot going, the only way to enjoy this is if you turn off your brain, and even then I still go a headache after reading 100, there was just too much bs and unnecessary drama...
Not worth readingThe mc is actually useless. He progressed so fast in the first couple of days, reaching the peak of Qi refining in the first day then peak of Foundation Establishment in a few months but from my understanding they are all from the system. He spent 3 years without any progress. He's been trying to condense a golden core for 3 years since he was at the peak of Foundation Establishment but still couldn't break through, he eventually did but guess what it was from a pill he got from signing in...At least in other sign in novels the mc's could break through without the need for their system
I've read the first 209 chapters and some of the comments on here seem a bit confused so here we go.First, no harem up to 209 anyway, he's dedicated to his girlfriend.The first section of the book is kind of a love comedy, but it still has dark points. Afterwards you find out it's set in Chinese mythology, as in Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor and other figures exist, so it shifts to becoming a kind of political/ immortal war story. The author laid the groundwork for the shift early on so it's not a complete surprise but some might not like the change, maybe others love it.
Translation quality honestly just kills this story for me, it keeps changing terms like the realm of mages int the story from chapter to chapter and is not consitent at all. The story is nothing special, op mc who hides his strength, because he is not strong enough yet to show it and needs to reach the peak first.
Okay, I opened this book thinking just another book, but i was thrilled to see a fresh and different storyline and world building. Do we talk about the author’s play with words? Perfect! Description is top notch and breathes intelligence. I have no words really cause this book is good, very good. Kudos to you and more grease to your elbow.
