Is the translator smoking weed or something? Otherwise I don't understand how the hell 一世之尊 translate to 'The Sage Who Transcended Samsara'. There is not a single Chinese character which is referring to 'Samsara' or 'Sage' or even 'Transcended'. Fully wrong.
I have seen QI translators taking full liberty with translations. Seriously respect original text
What was the story about?
-The story is about the journey of a young boy who goes through different trials and tribulations. He grows in strength, experience and personality while he makes new friends and enemies.
Who is the main character?
-Meng Qi
Is the MC likable?
-He is a funny guy. He often gets into trouble way over his head, but uses his wits and intelligence to survive. His dream is to be a cool and suave Young Master and to awe everyone with his charms. Unfortunately, he is often seen as a brute due to the martial arts skills he uses. Luckily he is starting to gain more cool skills to masquerade as a bishounen pretty boy haha.
Did you like the book?
-I like this novel very much. The fight scenes are intense. The lore and background is rich. The skill levels are well explained. The characters have depth, their actions will some times make you laugh or bring you tears.
If you could change something, what would it be?
-Some of the earlier chapters need editing & TLC because the grammar can be weird and the terms/jargons used are complicated. There should also be some Footnotes provided by the translation team.
Would you recommend this book to another person?
-Yes definitely!
What type of person would like this book?
-Anyone who loves reading martial arts or eastern fantasy novels would love it. Especially those who like a challenging novel with a complex lore and many martial arts.
Dont bother reading it, a really good novel ruined by TL. TL terms keep going back and forth early on but then stabilise around 400 chapters in but for some reason TL changes at chapter 777 and since then everything is utter trash.
The glossary terms are changed to more retarded equivalent and you struggle to even know whats going on. Had to drop at chapter 777 as its just not worth the brain damage you get from trying to read this god awful TL
Alternate Story Title: Worthy of Respect in One Age

OH YEAH, FINALLY A NOVEL I KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT TO MAKE A PROPER REVIEW ABOUT!
Sorry, got a little excited. So yeah, I can state the nice stuff about this story.
I am describing ch.1 which you can find on the NU link, so I don't think this needs a spoiler.
This novel starts with the MC transmigrating without a gaining the body's memories, ending up a monk in Shaolin Temple and using his wits to not get exposed and exorcised. His body has a backstory he knows nothing of, and returning back to his family will get him exposed. The story starts in such a 'interesting' situation where MC has to use his IQ from the start, and I promise it just gets better.
Initially the world seems to be in a wuxia setting, though it is slowly revealed to be more. But I'll reveal one more thing: The 'Samsara' is introduced quite early!
...OK, now I really can't say more without spoilers.
As for the TL, I'll expect good things. Even though not one chapter is up, I'll give props to the translator for rewriting Title and Synopsis to appeal to English readers. The original synopsis on NU seems a bit vague on first sight.
Can't say anything further, as this novel has no TLed chapters here.
So there it is, this is a nice novel and I hope you'll give Energy Stones to it.
...Also, one last interesting thing. Do you like the author, 'Plagiarist', the writer of Carefree Path of Dreams and sequel to Warlock of the Magus World? The novel preceding Carefree Path of Dreams, Overgod Ascension was inspired/ plagiarized from this novel. Overgod Ascension is also known as a loose sequel to Warlock of the Magus World.
This read is like smoking cigarettes. They feel good, but definitely bad for your health. Why is it bad for your health? The way the translation is butchering my brain cells is...... i cant even.....
PLEASE GET A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKING EDITOR!! (Sorry would-be-editor, you’ll be puking blood much more than us readers)
Translation quality for the first 778 chapters is a 3 out of 5. It's good enough but can be hard to understand at points. After 778, 0 out of 5, awful. It's incredible to me that a large company like QI would publish a translation that is essentially a slightly cleaned up machine translation. Names of moves, places, and people suddenly change. That combined with the overall awful translation makes one wonder if they are even reading the same novel.
STAY AWAY unless and until the translation is fixed; otherwise, it's not worth it even when considering the quality of the story.
We are honored to share this fantastic novel The Sage Who Transcended Samsara with you here. In this novel, we will travel with Meng Qi and his friends to the World of Samsara to complete all kinds of tasks. Professional and carefull as us, there is still room for improvement. If you have any suggestion to our translation, please feel free to contact us. We are more than happy to hear from you and we will continue to perfect it. Thank you. Enjoy your reading!

Its not a quite traditional cultivation story. It should be really really hard to translate as its actually a wuxia story in a magic world.
**: about the synopsis
remember the mc's name and forget the rest
