2/10?Is it inexperience or just his style? Don't really care, but everything is very direct, the characters are introduced as black or white, and you basically can tell what will happen to him from the first sentence that he will speak. Everything and anything in the world is moving around our MC, he has to be the centerpiece of every conflict in this world. I think the best tag to describe this novel is destiny, that means our MC doesn't need to be the smartest, the strongest, have better level, or equipment, he just has to be there. Coupled with the black or white style, it makes him the moral compass of the world, and that is very annoying since he isn't always consistent, after all he is the good guy and anything that stands in his way is evil. The Weak to Strong + Fast Cultivation tags sadly means that he constantly makes impossible look really easy, with the fact that he can fight above his league results in a mess of a cultivation system. The "worlds" are separated by "hard borders" meaning a genius in a bottom world is a normal guy in the next world, but since he is destined, he just outgrows every world really fast. He also hasn't got a drive, he isn't aiming for the top god, he is just going along with whatever fate has decided. Add this lack of "light at the end of a tunnel" with the black or white characters and the fast changing of the "worlds" and you have a dull chinese typical novel. I mean the whole reason for this novel, "the revenge" is done and dusted in 150 chapters and we still have over 2k chapters to go.Some people seem to think that the comedy makes up for the story, but I would have preferred that he stayed in the city with his family hunting wild beast in the mountains if the interactions with his pets were the main focus, but that clearly isn't it, I've never felt this to be a comedy novel.Would I recommend this? No. It's a story that just isn't working. Maybe it never was a story about our MC but one about the pets, in which case everything that will happen till the fights for his pets, will be useless, annoying, and stretched to the extreme. If you're here for the pets, The Charm of Soul Pets is a better read.
