The first part of this novel is great. The MC is extremely unique by the fact that she simply DOES NOT CARE about anything. She'll be rude to anyone, even kill anyone who gets in her way. I know that sounds a lot like other female MC leads, but no, this is completely different. She doesn't care about ANYTHING! She almost seems to take pleasure in watching the female leads of the worlds she goes into crumble until death. Even if they're not against her! She still goes after them. That plus the fact that there seems to be a huge secret about the MC makes her extremely unique. A secret that not even the system that's in charge of bringing her to these worlds can figure out.

However.. It begins to get stale around the late 200 chapters. That's with the introduction of the male lead. She starts to have someone she cares for, and in my personal opinion, this slowly begins to break apart her character type. That plus the worlds tend to repeat themselves, her having been in about three Xianxia type worlds already. I think the author made a bad move introducing the male lead, as the story begins to focus more on her searching for him and their relationship, lessening the world building and what not. They also tease the big mystery about the MC way too much without actually telling us anything. You'd think by the 7th or so world, she'd begin to rebel against her situation more. There's a throw out line that hints that she's ALLOWING it to happen because she finds it fun at first, but that's not nearly enough. By the time I had caught up to the translation, I was no longer really laughing at loud at the MC's antics, as it had been repeated over 10 times with no real change. I've noticed some people in their reviews mentioning the MC changes her personalities in a few of the arcs. That's absolutely false. She's exactly the same in every single world she visits. Dunno what delusions those people who wrote that have, but there's not even a hint of her personality changing through out the novel.

However, after saying all that, it's also true that this novel isn't even a quarter of the way translated yet. It's a shame that the translation is so slow though. While the translation itself is absolutely perfect for the most part, the fact that chapters come out a few days a part means this novel won't be finished being translated for like 8 years at it's current rate. Unfortunately, that means that I'll most likely just forget about it now that I've caught up and move on to faster moving novels.

EDIT: Update, August 8th 2020. After more than a year, I went back to read the novel again from the beginning, and based on what I read, nothing needs to be changed in my original review. Everything I said still stands. HOWEVER, I do need to drop the review score from 3 stars to 2 stars. This is due to the new translator who took over. The quality of the translation is much lower. The sad thing is that the recent chapters are riddled with absolutely s*upid mistakes, like missing words or flat out wrong ones. These mistakes would be easily caught if the translator simply proof-read the chapter after translating it before releasing it. However, they seem much too careless, and only care about getting the chapters out. What a shame..
