Overall I would say that I enjoy this novel quite a lot and the general idea of this novel is interesting. Although some jokes are overused, the comedy sometimes is quite funny and the read is easy and enjoyable. The main plot so far seem to be MC dealing with the aftereffects of his dreams, but it might change later. Basically for now there are enemies, but no some big bad or impending doom. I have to clarify some points in the synopsis so that I can properly write a review. The MC has transmigrated into a cultivation world and gets a dream system which allows him to live a virtual life in his dream twice a day.The way the system works, it turns out, it takes real places and real people and creates a unique circumstance for them in order to insert MC into a virtual life. For example it might add MC as the youngest son to some family or the only son to someone who has no children, thus giving MC a proper virtual identity. During each dream MC will get a random ability that, as far as I can tell, does not exist in the world and can be very weak or useless or super powerful. It could be something like cultivating by wasting money or while sleeping; or it might be something like having a good business sense. Every time after MC wakes up from that virtual life he might get something from the dream, depending on how good the dream was based on the arbitrary judgement of the system. It is unclear what the judgement criteria is. He might get some cultivation level, which allows him to progress very quickly or just some talent or skill and/or an item that he used in the dream. But he never gets the unique abilities from the dream, at least so far.In surprising turn of events it appears that people who are the closest to the MC in the dream also experience that same dream together with the MC and afterward they will remember what happened in the dream. It seems that basically only his wives in the dream will remember it afterwards and no other people involved in the dream will see it. Because it feels very real to them and they spend hundreds or thousands years together, the women all basically fall in love with the MC for real and start looking for him in the real world.That's the base setup. Now, what I like about this. I like the idea of getting experience and learning cultivation in a dream. Just this by itself is a super cheat power and MC actually learns many techniques from dreams and the dreams also allow him to comprehend things faster. I also actually like that other people are experiencing the dream with the MC. This can be used for creating many interesting plot points. I also like the virtual dream lives. All of them were interesting and each one could be expanded into it's own cultivation novel and it would be good and dramatic. Each dream so far basically ends with MC getting mu*dered by someone and he usually struggles a lot in each dream.What I don't really like. The frequency of dreams is too high. Getting 2 per day is way too much. In the novel most of them are pointless and he doesn't really get anything from them. This also causes a massive problem: the harem grows waaay too quickly. Before the 100 chapters were up, MC already got something like 10 wives because in some dreams he gets 2 per dream and in some 1 per dream. With the pace this is going, he will have hundreds of wives soon. In addition the women around him in reality also seem to just fall for him all the time for no reason. If the dreams happened twice a month or maybe even once a month, it would be much, much better.Another issue is that the duration of dreams keeps getting longer and longer and it basically takes away from the main plot. After a while the dreams get all mixed up and you start forgetting what was the dream, what was his actual life and in some cases there are more chapters per dream than the chapters between dreams where MC actually does something in real life. So if the frequency of dreams is reduced to 1-2 a month, we would also get more activity from the MC in the "real world". However, the length of arcs during dreams and in reality keeps getting longer, so I don't know where it will go eventually.One big thing that irritates me is that in this novel, like many other novels, the names of people are supposedly unique. You have multiple worlds with multiple continents in each world, billions of people and multiple families with the same last name, but it is a major part of the plot that no two people with the same full name exist. It is especially painful when his wives after waking up start searching everywhere for "Ye Yu" and there is no one else with that name in existence. It's just something that's bothering me a lot.Another thing that I would like to change in this novel is that only the people who are friendly to MC (wives) remember the dream and are looking for MC to help him and do the snusnu every minute of every day with him. I would've liked it better if some enemies also came out and started looking for him to kill him. Oh, yea, in this novel MC regularly have concentual snusnu with a bunch of different women (usually people he had similar relations with within the dream, but not always the dream wives), if you care about that part.Overall I would recommend giving the novel a try and see if you like it. It is a pretty nice light-reading time killer.
