    As of this moment I already have read up to where the locked chapters are (around chapter 56), so I think it's already enough to write an initial review. So, the pros about this novel is that it is written comprehensively. There are little to no technical errors such as incorrect grammars and spellings. Next is that it has little bit of a blend of other genres with eastern fantasy at its base, and don't get me wrong, I like this kind of creativity. Now for the cons, although it is already that promising from its pros, the novel is not that immersive as I thought it would be. The cultivation realms was explained in the novel but the cultivation system was not properly explained. There are no information about the cultivation techniques or battle techniques the characters used. The fights are so short, few ,and lack a lot details. It lacks the thrill of what a eastern fantasy novel is known for. It's pace is like a wish fulfillment fanfic just on a lesser degree. And although it was creative of blending other genres in a vast setting such as eastern fantasy, the novel already restricted itself by focusing more on destiny destiny what not. It kind of limited its potential.

    And btw, this is just my own opinion and experience in reading the novel. It is not the sole truth about this novel. Others or you might think or experience differently compared to my thoughts on the novel. So, be mindful of that.

    I've always been a sucker for cultivation novels and this one, so far, has quite an interesting premise. Although the synopsis is vague and didn't give much info about the story, it was captivating enough, especially the opening sentence.
    Writing quality is good. There are some mistakes but it didn't disturb my reading experience. One thing I really like about the writer's way of writing is his simple words that flows so well. His way of storytelling is comfortable in the eyes and easy to understand.
    For the story developement, the pace is quite slow in my opinion but fortunately, the plot has started to reveal itself in the latest chapter, which is ch 8. There's a little plot twist in the last ch, which I find quite surprising and entertaining, making me have the urge to read more. I'll be looking forward for your next chapter so good luck, Author!
    For the world background, can't judge much as it was still in its early chapter but overall, it's quite okay. We get to be introduced a bit about the world, the realms it has, and the background of mc's family.
    As for the character development, the story, despite being a 3rd pov, is written in the view of the mc. His thoughts and emotions are fully exposed to the reader which I thought is a good and efficient way to make readers feel closer to the mc. And the story background of Fang Yan, which I assume will be the main villain of the book, has been introduced quite early. So for the character development, I think the author has done a fairly good job in this aspect.
    Well, that's the end of my review. Hope that this will help attract readers for you, Author! I've run out of ps for today but I'll make sure to give you some tomorrow! Thanks for the wonderful story! Keep up the good work!

    Excellent work! I hope this book would bear fruit to you, author! And I hope your readers would love it!
    Writing quality for me it's around 4/5 (but I am generous right now so 5) There are multiple things I'd like to point out such as passive voice misuse,  filter words, showing techniques, and some words that you need to delete. This include:
    *boring life (you need show the scene that would say that the MC has a boring life instead of telling it
    *no friends- the same goes to this one
    *was full of- passive voice misuse
    *he saw- filter words
    *he began to read- delaying the sentence
    *was sleeping-passive voice misuse

    This was a very interesting book until somewhere near chapter 40 when MC personality does a complete 180 and just starts acting like a arrogant brat that just murders people for no good reason and threatens to wipe out there family. This is super hypocritical too because the whole story before that he is ragging on the “supposed” MC of the world he is in then instantly becomes the same person.  
    This killed the book for me.

    Very good, I just found some rushed parts and the cultivation level a little difficult to understand, with the protagonist managing to defeat the other two levels above
