I've read the first 4 books and currently reading the fifth one.In term of world building, I gotta give 5 stars for this series, unfortunately there are two things that annoyed me, much annoyed, in regards to this series.Firstly, the repetitive explanation/narrative. For example, I've already hundreds or thousands of chapters in and I knew how Yin Tianfan "tortured" the poor boy during his pre-Shrek time, so there really wasn't any need for the author to mention it again and again, countless times. It's tedious. There's a lot of repetitive things like this going on, and when it happened, I just scrolled thru and sometimes it takes pages. Another example is like in the fifth installment, the author keep on reminding us, the readers, how Tang San was previously a God King, hence why his talent and strength is much superior than his peers etcetcetc.. Yeah we got it! Stop saying the same things, please.Secondly, the characters building. The author introduced a lot of characters, and sometime I felt like these characters were important and vital for future events, only to realize that they were later forgotten and just gone, never to be seen again. For example, the author keep on stressing the importance of Shrek Seven Monsters, but in reality, they were just a bunch of kids that studied together with MC and were only relevant when there was a group battle. We didn't even got to know what happened to them towards the end. Not just Shrek Seven Monsters, in this 4th installment, there was also the 33 Sky Wings. What happened to them? After all the group cultivations, missions and shared resources, what happened to them? Were they introduced just to highlight the awesomeness of the MC's leadership quality? Seriously?? Such a waste of potential. Another example is Lan Hudie. The author was so detailed in writing the plot between MC and Lan Hudie, as if suggesting that Lan Hudie will have a crucial part in the later chapters, but nope, nada. I hate loose ends, and this series has a LOT of loose ends.So, that's it. You have been warned, so read with caution.
