A solid 'ok' rating.I will be one other voice confirming there is no poison (although the novel is nowhere near good enough for me to finish via MTL).You get what you came for: evil protagonist, killing of your so-called 'protagonists', no romance.1) The protagonist is... evil. I will give a zero out of five rating for his personality. Well, that's not possible so one out of five. As one reviewer said, his personality is... not developed properly. The evil has no explanations. That is fine, but there seems to be a couple tries of making some backstory? which hasn't worked. It would have been better to just have zero explanations for this personality. You just have to make it consistent and full of depth and it would have been fine. Depth exists in believable and consistent characters; they don't need a backstory or development.2) The level of deriverativeness of this story is... It could too high for someone's liking. Objectively speaking, it is both good and bad. Good in that it gives you a rich world/characters right away. Bad in that it is lazy, and shows lack of creativity. It does show a solid reading background though. I'm not sure how it will be moving forward because in my experience, a highly deriverative novel (a lot more than this) tends to get less deriverative as time goes on.Characters aren't very interesting. They're so-so, used and gone. There is zero development you look forward to in the relationships between characters.World is not that interesting. It fades into the background, which is... not bad. It also does not give a strong impression, which is... not good.Development of each arc is quite ok. It holds no candle to any impressive set ups though. Not even when compared to legendary ones in the same genre like Gu Zhen Ren (Reverend Insanity), but also when compared too lesser known ones like Mo Xin (Heart Demon). So don't expect to be impressed.tl;dr solid time-passer with a sell of evil protagonist, zero romance, systems and protagonists in a xianxia setting.P.S.The reviewers complaining about some unexplained things has obviously never stuck with a story long enough to complete them. A lot of them have lackluster explanations or never even addresses the mystery of transmigration or system or whatever, but a lot of good ones do. Mostly longer, less braindead one. You just have to wait. If it has a plotted arc I'm willing to bet it has at least an acceptable explanation (if not better) for these golden fingers.
