It is often said that meeting your heroes can lead to disappointment. For Gehaldirah, a high elf of royal lineage, disillusionment came even before he met the realm lord of High Heaven.
His admiration for the paragon of the high elf race turned into hatred when he uncovered damning truths about why demons kept attacking his home and plundering the sacred tree of life. His hatred for the realm lord soon turned into self-loathing for his own perceived weakness and mediocrity.
Gehaldirah had a moment of introspection. He realized he wasn't at the bottom of the strength-based hierarchy; he was a king by law, but this status didn't guarantee his fate. His strength, derived from his bloodline, seemed mediocre in comparison to what he aspired to be.
Determined to change himself, he devised a plan that was part genius, part greed. Seeking reincarnation, he participated in the trial of heaven, which occurs every origin cycle, hoping to gain Origin essence. The trial exceeded his expectations, and after some adjustments, his reincarnation plan would succeed. However, his ambitions shifted. No longer content with merely challenging the realm lord, who controlled the High Heaven Realm, Gehaldirah set his sights higher.
He became greedy, aiming for the power to challenge the will of World Gods. This led to the conception of LEGION, the ultimate organism. If one individual couldn't achieve greatness, perhaps a multitude could.
His journey would be fraught with challenges. He would face Celestials and their Celestial Supreme, Gods and their GodKings, Demon Kings and their Demon Gods. The Void Universe is filled with obstacles intent on ending his path. It's not personal; in the era of conquest, there are no friends—everyone fights for themselves. Gehaldirah will use everything and everyone to advance Legion.
AUTHOR: I cannot promise you'll like it, but I can assure you the book is original and unique. The protagonist is neutral evil, willing to sacrifice anyone for his goals. He is intelligent, and the antagonists are cunning.

As a first time reader you can’t really take the words of an author at face value when they say it’s worth it or not when comes with their work.
You can’t really expect an reader who barely read enough of MC (due to the heavy amount of filter in the early stages of the book) to spend their own money to unlock chapters. who knows weather or not its worth it.
Based on the little amount of screen time the MC has before the paywall, I don’t think it’s worth it to continue reading due to problem of information or lack thereof.
Honestly seems like story more revolving around the Elf guy than the official MC, based on how he has all the basic qualities of a MC (insanely talented, transmigrated from Earth, creator of a system, etc etc) and everyone singing praises about him.
Look there as to be a reason why although it has well over a thousand chapters it’s so low on the ratings, it could be good for all I know, but the beginning ain’t what you wanna see on a top rated book.
Side note: You gotta delete those useless chapters, you are already limiting the amount of chapters you have to read, why do it more?
Final Score: 3.5
DISCLAIMERS:
The rating given is my own opinion of the novel at this time. And may be subject to change later.
The rating given is relative to the material on this site. Meaning a 4 or 5 given on Webnovel is not a 4 or 5 given on Amazon.

"A Diamond in The Rough"
Few stories are able to capture their readers. Whether that be through its excellent plot, characters, or world-building (There are some freaks of nature that manage to capture all three).
Unfortunately this is not one of those stories. There are periods in the novel that seem utterly benign. The author seems to be desperately eager to share all their wonderful ideas for the world and its power-system. However, this process is neither gradual nor subtle. It's akin to drinking water from a firehose. The info-dumping is simply terrible.
It's info dump after info dump, words and sentences that string along together that make coherent sense but aren't meaningful in any way to the reader. At times I can't be bothered to care for any of the characters in the novel, including the protagonist. Simply because we don't spend meaningful time with him at all. It's constant P.O.V changes and lore/world building that's taking up the precious time of the main character. The protagonist is supposed to be the catalyst that brings the world building and other characters into play.
At times I feel frustrated with this, at times I wish to no longer waste my time, at times I feel like forgetting about this novel forever.......
-------------------------------------------------
Is how I previously felt about this novel. Before a certain point in the story I felt tired of this novel and had serious misgivings. But the author seems to have listed to the criticisms, and made some changes.
They started to put more effort into telling the story of the MC! There were moments in this novel that were genuinely exciting to read, but I was always overwhelmed by the info-dumping. However now since the author made the necessary changes, the readability of the story has increased by at least two-fold.
There are still info-dumps but they're more manageable and do not get in the way of the MC's journey.
------------------------------------------
The world of "Greed: All For What" is vast. The power system is both simple yet complex (in a good way). There are clear denominations, and each stage is given it's own unique trait.
However, there are unique ways in which one can find loopholes (or exploits) in order to gain more power. Our MC's cheat is practically based on finding this exploit.
------------------------------------------
The protagonist is simply a breath of fresh air compared to the generic cultivation mc template. This guy is willing to do whatever it takes to reach his goals. If he needs to sacrifice someone or something he's willing to do so. However, there are very few moments where the MC is willing to prove his "dao" so to speak. When they do pop-up in the novel they're always a treat.
There are times when the MC is overshadowed, and relegated to a minor role in the story. Nevertheless, the author seems to have learned their lesson and made efforts to make these occurrences few and far between.
---------------------------------------------
The author's work ethic and discipline are truly commendable. They release on a daily basis, and sometimes twice a day.
-------------------------------------------
What I would like to see in the future:
1. More "Dao Affirming" Moments. I want to see the reason why there's an evil mc tag.
2. More dialogue would help (although finding the right balance may prove difficult).
--------------------------
Overall:
This story suffers greatly due to the excessive information dump that impedes the protagonist's journey. However, underneath all that is a story worth telling. In my humble opinion, I think others should read this story. There is a soul here, and the author is very passionate and willing to change. Despite the author's mistakes, this story is worth reading as long as the author never loses his way.
All I am trying to say even though your story might be amazing or the idea behind is amazing, the way you put it in the words was a little Disappointing.
