Reborn as a Devouring Dragon with a System

I like the plot of brothers' story

I'll try to keep this as spoiler free as possible by talking in generalities. I've read quite a few chapters at this point, and I'll probably keep reading the novel in the future mostly because I like protagonists with swords. You might be wondering why I've rated it so low if I'm going to keep reading it though.So, let's talk about the cons of this story. To say it is cliche is an understatement. Cliche 1: Fallen clans. Those once great clans that the MC relies on the heritage of to overcome. Yup, there is not one but two of them in this story. Both the mother and the father are from once powerful existences though the father's clan is much more so.Cliche 2: Mysterious object. The story starts with one in the MC's body that causes him issues, but it ultimately rewards him with OP abilities.Cliche 3: The fallen genius. The MC is an unparalleled genius until they find he can't cultivate properly due to cliche 2, but don't worry that cliche also fixes this problem.Cliche 4: Betrayal of a loved one. Oh, it's not enough that he is a fallen genius from two once great clans. He needs a manipulative love interest who betrays him to really top it off.Cliche 5: OP friends. The MC will constantly randomly bump into and makes friends with people who have secretly amazing backgrounds. Get assigned to a place to live. All the other members have crazy backgrounds. Run into someone who is being chased? That person has an even crazier background.Cliche 6: The arrogant MC. Really, no matter how arrogant you think MC are you are probably underestimating this MC's arrogance. He has powerful friends to protect him, and he won't use their protection because he thinks that highly of himself. He will openly declare war on anyone regardless of how much more powerful that group or organization is and manage to hide from them just long enough to become strong enough to take his revenge. And he really can't lay low at all. His arrogance won't let him. Perhaps the only character more arrogant than the MC is the MC's father.Cliche 7: The area of death. Because you need an area the spells death of anyone who enters except for the MC who turns it into a chance to get stronger. It also conveniently lets him escape from getting killed.Cliche 8: Foolish enemies. His enemies will constantly send people at roughly his level or a little higher to kill him so he has a chance of escape. They never really go all out and there always seems to be a bigger organization behind them pulling the strings. And you've probably guessed it already, but these enemies are the most two dimensional of characters because who needs depth of character or interesting motivation when cliched characterizations will do. They'll be dead soon enough anyway right?Honestly, I could go on, but you probably get the idea. It's not a very well written story. There is nothing particularly new or interesting about the cultivation method or the world building. It is a generic cultivation setting. The characters (MC included) are very two dimensional. They are really paper thin in design, and there is nothing unique or interesting about their characterizations. This is a glorified wish fulfillment type of story that brings nothing new to the table.

It’s all over fellow Otaku is this novel did not get picked for translation we will never find out what happened unless we learn to speak Chinese and read. I am so very sad I will never find out what happens with this story. Good luck to everyone else that got their novel picked good day.

This is an amazing story that was well thought out and has an author who is gifted at making great works. I highly recommend that people who think about reading this do because it won’t dissapoint dissapoint you.

A poorly written good story.There are too many grammar and present/past tense mistakes. Sometimes the phrase won't have any meaning and you'll have to try to guess what the author meant.As for the story he usually rushes with the story part but is really slow and descriptive with the crafting part, which some might like and other might think is tecnobabble (like me).Nevertheless, these rushed parts are still interesting and coupled with the MC upgrade ability, made for a nice story. The author should cut a little on the crafting part and improve more the plot with interesting events in the sect with other people or ****** more adventures.You should also add more challenge and stick to your power ranks. The MC wins too easily and too over his own level. Him as a rank 1 killing rank 19 is quite ridiculous and undermines your own system.Also there are some really stupid plot devices like Strong Cultivators not interfering in an attack on the city by bandits because it's an attack made by the young generation and they don't want to get involved because of pride, the old can't fight the young or something. I facepalmed when I read this and almost dropped.

Overall, this was a great read. The personalities of the characters have been perfectly meshed out in my opinion and the main cast are repeatedly shown, unlike some other novels where they just get forgotten or vanish for some time. The main character surprisingly has a brain which was a sharp contrast to the novels i have read till now. He doesn't hesitate to use his money, kill people, use his influence and relationships to his own benefit. I feel like the buildup of the first meeting of the mc and the fml is getting a bit dragged out but it's going to be resolved soon anyways. The world background is actually pretty good. I especially liked the unique magic system used in this novel which was pretty innovative as compared to the novels where the people simply have to imagine doing the magic or make some circles. The only problem I've had with the novel so far is the updating stability. The chapters are released at an extremely slow pace and there isn't even a fixed schedule for it. Only 2 chapters are released in a month which makes it look like it'll take years to even finally let Eva and Rayne meet. If the chapter release was even like 2 per week, I'd rate this a 10/5.

Alright! I'm back after so long. This book is over 200 chapters long now, so it deserves a new review.I'd say it's still a stellar story, just not for everyone. Our Mc is depicted to be an evil person, but just a chapter later he saves someone. Some might drop the book because of that, but if advise you to read on. Also, he sometimes acts or thinks in a weirdly immature or petty way—at least in the beginning chapters. Many would also drop because of this.I'd advise you to keep going, though.Why?Because it's a good story!As you progress further in, you'll realize that the novel is golden. You might have some issues with the MC, Hexarion, but those issues become less glaring at some point. You might even love him eventually. So, yes. This book is still a Five Stars in my book!Thanks for picking up this book, and I hope you have a good read.
