If you're tired of the same old cliché's from nearly 90% of all popular LN's. Then I suggest skipping this LN. The plot armor is really bad, and the MC's child hood trauma doesn't make sense. Either MC got rap'ed cause he was friends with a girl (mc was raped by his male cousins and uncles) or they rap'ed MC's sister and broke her legs afterwards (cause mc liked a girl.) oh and btw, the MC was like 3 or 4 years old when he was friends with said girl. lol.
best novel i read this far.everything is perfect.Story is too good.word background is something new, different from typical cultivation worlds and mage worlds(something between them).Characters are well done(not soulless things we see in every second novel).
Anime was terrible, read the novel on other site and it wasn't good. Choose better novels please, maybe really popular novels from Chinese site......................................
For those who are tired of reading generic novels of cliche characters with cliche situations, go away from this novel.

For all of these five star reviews on this book, i guess i will have to be the equalizer; i read up to chapter 46 today, and let me tell you; my day was wasted on trash, don't read this book, don't waste your time, there are so many better books on qidian, i don't even understand how this is trending, but i will list a few issues so you can have a general idea of what you're getting into with this.
1. Science and magic is portrayed as complete opposites able to completely replace the other, this boils down to the world he lives in not even having math or physics, just magic.
2. There was mention of a cultivation technique with the old mans necklace ring, which would allow him to save the world, he promptly forgets about it and doesent remember within the next 40 chapters, idk if he ever remembers. Keep in mind that those 40 chapters span a time period of about 2 years. Yup.
3. The author mentions the characters ages etc. But forgets to mention their mental age, which is important because all of them seem about 5-10 years younger mentally than they should be; especially the 16 year olds.
4. The mc tries to lay low by being dismally bad at studying and almost getting expelled if he wasnt actually a crouching tiger hidden dragon, which he is, but hes dismal at that too; as under the examination he is measured to be better than everyone else... how to be low key: 1. Become the trash on the bottom of society, 2. Become the divine leader of the leaderboard within seconds, 3. Do it all in the presence of the whole school to be sure they notice and gossip about it, 4. Piss of the strongest existence in the whole city, because u have beef with him but u still wanna lay low... wait?
The magic system is pretty pathetic aswell, though i didn't really see its potential during the 40 chapters, add onto a bunch of inconsistencies, some sexist remarks and an 'in general' scaredycat useless horndog mc what do we got?
(btw the whole draw was the idea of a badass mage owning people within his own ranks, but i lost faith pretty quickly as he is basically op by virtue of deus ex machina ,or even worse; op by old man he paid respect to being hidden expert with tons of priceless treasures to help him along. There is no reason to root for him, atleast not as far as i saw, and he definitively isn't even slightly badass.)
Apparently a trending story on qidian... what a joke.
Lets see qidian delete this review, i'm curious if they actually do.
Oh btw i rate it 1 out of 5 stars because i don't think the release rate matters when it comes to quality, in fact it might be in detriment to it. As for the writing quality, i don't only consider grammar, but overall enjoyment of the plot and characters and motivations. Cause the stuff connecting that stuff isnt air, u have to use writing to connect ****, unless you are making an encyclopedia, where its enough to put the information in alphabetical order.
Ignore the trolls. There is a crappy anime and manga. Some watched that and got the wrong idea. This is an interesting novel that combines cultivation with magic and a modern setting. It does take a little bit to get into it. I think this story has a fun mc with a lot off good fight scenes. Are character has an advantage. Most people start off with one power and then gradually get more as they level up. He starts off with two. I like the waxia elements with the modern setting. Give it a shot.
as Chinese i can tell you guys that as novel progress it gets better and better unlike other novels.Just do not watch anime because anime is really made for money and it is really bad one.
At first i thought it was trash because i watched anime with really bad drawing but after reading it i understood that this novel is really diamond one.You just need to give it a chance.
