Really enjoyed the early chapters. like flashed-actiopn without the depth of emotion and character, but that's okay. After all, that's basically the definition of a light novel, right? but sadly sorry author, I stopped at chapter 238. Not only did it start to get boring with lots of repetitive scenes without any novelty, the standard idea of becoming a god with the use of faith but also as one might expect a clichéd plot: a vague hatred of the Japanese nation like many Chinese novel authors generally do. the author doesn't even hesitate to hide it by using the alias Sakura for example, he openly mentions the name Tokyo and the names of Japanese islands. It seems that Chinese authors suffer from an itch if they don't write fantasy novels without involving the Japanese: either by making them antagonists, or by making their country disappear. increasingly boring and predictable0 0 Reply

Why is this ranked so high up? This novel is nothing original and the MC is a terrible person. Literally gets rich and it's like it's nothing. MC is missing way too many brain cells and everywhere he goes he gets worshipped. Also the MC gets a girlfriend who had a crush on him since high-school then later on proceeds to cheat on her with multiple other women. One of the woman is a flight Attendant who he bumps into and at the end of the chapter sleeps with her when she even said herself she didn't offer herself when another rich person came before him. This is very clearly written by a misogynist who thinks women are just objects. He has twins fall for him when he stops a basketball from hitting them and they for no reason even after the MC doesn't talk to them for days turn die hard fans of him and are permanently loyal to him. Again, no reason at all. If you wanna read about a brain dead MC with other bootlicking side characters who have no other qualities other than to raise the MCs ego and materialistic cardboard cutout women who are just there to sleep with him and drive mini cooper's then go ahead and read this.0 0 Reply

A total waste of time.The starting chapters were still interesting but later it follows the template:OP MC goes in seclusion. His sect almost destroyed.Returns, gets underestimated, kills everyone opposing him and they start begging.Repeat.Just the same repetition and no progress in story since forever.0 0 Reply
