280 chapters in.This novel desperately needs an editor. Disciples become discipline, males turn into females, tenses get mixed up a lot and sentence construction is often awkward. Typos happen to everyone but seeing multiple such cases in every chapter quickly becomes annoying. Overall story development and character design is very average. MC lacks both a real goal other than "get strong" and a real rival. So although the fights aren't exactly poorly written, they feel dull to read because there is absolutely no suspense. Similarly his growth doesn't feel special as there is no risk or struggle involved. MCs master seems to exist only to act surprised at his progress.I do appreciate that his romantic interest remains relevant throughout the story, however the way its presented could use some work. Telling me what kind of emojis his girlfriend uses in her texts is just a waste of space. Not to mention she doesn't have anything going for her other than looks, which brings us to the next issue.A lot of characters seem to serve no purpose other than cheering in tournaments. They bring neither drama nor comedy, they don't give insight into the world, they don't help develop MC. Especially the female characters - typically to the genre, they exist mostly for romance. For a novel set in past, this could be explained somewhat convincingly, however for one set in modern times? Can't say much negative about world building as its basically a clone of modern world with martial artists thrown into it. However it does lack exposition in this regard - surely the inner workings and rules of society should have changed to accommodate people with supernatural abilities, yet the novel seems to barely gloss over such issues. TL;DR Overall, its not the worst novel, especially if you can ignore its weak points and glaring lack of editing. However, would I put it on my recommended list? No.

Currently at chapter 174, let's start the review.The story is set in a modern age where an apocalypse has occurred. Immortal individuals are born, but contrary to our initial expectations, the world doesn't transform with Qi pouring into the modern setting. Instead, it creates a parallel dimension where death leads to a return to the real world, akin to VR in the cultivation world with secret realms and more.As is typical, we are introduced to the protagonist who lacks grade or spiritual roots. Surprisingly, he has been transmigrated for around three years. The story follows the usual trope as he befriends a mysterious lady from a top-tier clan.The face-slapping moments start around chapter 30-40 when the MC begins to kill individuals from the Thousand Pavilion in the cultivation world (distinct from the real world). Youngsters come first, followed by elders, until the entire pavilion sets its sights on him.I cannot comment on the translation as English is not my first language. The world-building is decent, though it lacks a clear general direction and overall situation. The focus primarily revolves around the MC's journey, including city names, events, and locations. However, I'm unsure about the number of factions, nations, or realms in the story.Now, let's discuss the MC's personality. He lacks motivation and feels as though he should be a mortal since he holds no grudges. He desires peaceful cultivation but recognizes the need to become stronger. Additionally, he isn't particularly interested in romantic relationships.Here's where the problem arises with the system. It possesses enough power to help the MC break through from being mortal to establishing the foundation (2nd realm) in less than three months, or so I believe. However, as the story progresses (after he flees from the elder chasing him), although he remains overpowered and can defeat his peers due to his earlier conflicts with the pavilion individuals, he is constantly pursued by stronger cultivators, which diminishes his significance despite having a system.Furthermore, his rapid progress eventually slows down. By the time I reached chapter 174, the MC had only recently advanced to the middle stage of the foundation realm (4th layer of the 2nd realm). This progression is notably slower compared to his breakthrough from mortal to foundation establishment realm, which took 100 chapters. The remainder of the story focuses on his fascination with alchemy (with an abrupt shift to array formation) and his enthusiasm for acquiring various techniques.I almost forgot to mention the common trope where the MC sells weapons and encounters a girl who can sell his weapons. This girl later finds herself in trouble with other sellers, and the MC steps in to help. Consequently, he becomes an esteemed guest in the girl's clan, which hails from the core/central plain. However, this clan lacks sufficient power when compared to the first heroine.That concludes my review. I may have misunderstood certain parts as I skipped through sections due to losing interest when the MC's progress significantly slowed down.

NOTICE: Tales of Herding Gods is no longer on a hiatus!Hello everyone! I am the new translator for TOHG! It seems like no one wants to pick up this novel so I guess I'll take over the job. Safe to say, I will be fully translating this novel down to the final word unless something extremely urgent happens (for example, I die of natural or unnatural causes!). I will be uploading 2-3 chapters daily on isotls.com so if you want to support me, please go check out the website and read it there! I'll also make a patreon page for those that wish to have 5 unreleased chapters in advance for 1 dollar (I'll link it once I've made it). I may increase the tiers and advance chapters depending on the demand. Anyhow, come check out my work at isotls.com, I will be uploading every day at 5PM EST. By the time you're reading this, I have already completed 3 chapters. Just waiting for 5PM to hit :-).Chwan signing out. 02/08/2022

Soo. The city has 20k defenders, gates and walls. They have not even a single long-distance weapon like bow or catapult. Why the **** do you need high walls then? Will you throw swords? There's no other capable commander other than MC's father, who dumbly goes to a duel.. And then we have the MC who doesn't care and soon you will watch as a maid who practiced with her wooden sword on dummies beats 4 experienced grandmasters. Realistic in the realm of highschoolers.
