It's a 3/5 if you have no patience and a 5/5 if you do.First off, a quick summary. Feng Shao has a cheat in two parts - one lets him easily find treasures, which he used alongside tons of hard work to restore his crumbling sect back to a position of power, and the other lets him see people's "luck". This is how he comes to discover that there are these 'sons of heaven', with luck large enough to affect the fortunes of others, when one comes knocking on his doorstep seeking to usurp his place in the sect.It seems there are a lot of people who find this story infuriating when this nasty entitled little protagonist shows up and starts doing worse and worse things. None of the 'sons of heaven' are the good righteous type - that's Feng Shao, who's a villain in this setting. It's reasonable to be annoyed with the little shits, but Feng Shao isn't taking it like a doormat. He's simply got a line that the bastard hasn't crossed yet because (minor spoilers) he doesn't give a hoot about his position as the holy son and happily sees it go away so that he can finally dedicate some more time to his own personal growth. And when the bastard does finally cross that line, the only reason he survives past the first 50 chapters is because of Feng Shao's choice, because of *spoiler*. On other matters - there's definitely face slapping here, oh yes, though mostly indirectly. There are people with high IQ and people with low IQ, and some choices I can only attribute to the influence of the 'son of heaven'.Overall, what makes this story interesting is Feng Shao himself, who's a righteous character for a Xianxia setting. In fact, the first 50 chapters are more interesting than the next 50 for this reason. Also note the lack of a harem tag. The second 50 chapters feels much more like a standard 'villain suppresses the protagonists' story - there's even the classic "I am the fated Villain" opening which has to be a meme at this point.Regarding the translation - I'm not sure why the chapters are split into two when we're getting 2 or 3 full chapters every day. The quality is good, but the reading experience is (as usual) much better as a binge read than getting drip fed. The stuff that happens in just two chapters doesn't usually feel that significant.
