Entertaining at first, but you'll soon realize it follows the same template as most Chinese cultivation novels. There's an endless line of arrogant a-holes to slapdown at every stage of cultivation, and there's always a "next level" of cultivation, and there's always the "next area" of stronger people who miraculously have left the weaker areas alone... until the protagonist started leveling up. The logic of all of it just falls apart after repeating the same cycle, over and over again. Truth be told, the MC is also an arrogant a-hole, but he's a righteous arrogant a-hole with plot armor so he'll never lose or suffer a setback.
