Like all bodyguard genre novels, MC is lousy at bodyguarding waifus (2 digits worth of waifus gone comatose or kidnapped, gone missing MIA, got butchered into multiple bodyparts or soul dissipated.)MC is still virgin despite 7,000+ chapters and double digits waifu harem. As for the villains, MC doesn't get to kill them because of lame reasons (too lame to mention) and these villains (hundreds of them and counting) survive to join the Main Villain's not-so-secret organization (currently operated by Main Villain's waifu). Main Villain is currently trapped with MC's mentor and MC's ancestors/surviving family in the 4th dimension (hello physics?) in an eternal combat standoff.MC is schizo and inconsistent, doesn't have consistent stance against villains. MC doesn't kill the villains that should be killed because he's afraid of offending the villain's upper tier bosses who will in turn take revenge against his waifus, but said villains does bad stuff to his waifus anyway.MC decides to kill villains but ends up failing or triggering a massive backlash that hurts his waifus anyways.MC (or rather Author) has a gigantic ego because he spends like 100 words every chapter monologuing that he's superior to the villains (Author has Self-fulfillment issues).Author rewards MC for making the worst choices.Author causes too many plotholes and retcons stuff along the way.Dumb and Dumber. MC is dumb but villains are even dumber.Author resorts to depowering/resetting MC's cultivation progress to milk/spam chapters:01. MC reached a level where fights became boring and repetitive and author decided to take action to save his "falling ratings".02. So author came up with an idea to destroy MC's physical body in the lamest way possible while he was out astral projecting his Spiritual Form to complete a "not-so-important errand". You could say that MC deserved it because he left his physical body to an untrustworthy waifu-wannabe and her even more conniving family members.03. Thus causing MC's lifespan to start ticking down like a time bomb,as he is forced to use expend his remaining Spiritual Energy as fuel in the most masochistic way (author has to tell readers that is masochistic) to enact his revenge against his current list of never-ending enemies, preying on his new-waifus.04. With each use of Spiritual Energy, the stability of his Spiritual Form degrades and his cultivation level ends up dropping as well. 05. Author resorts to wasting 100-200 words to reiterate the fact that MC is running on borrowed-time every chapter from then on. 06. As if that wasn't enough, author teleports MC to a region where there is a total absence of divine chi/qi, so that MC can't replenish his Spiritual Energy and his lifespan degrades even faster.07. And after a few hundred chapters later, when MC finally reforms his physical body back (lame deus ex machina), MC gets resetted back to the 1st level of Cultivation.08. Because of the total absence of divine chi/qi, all of MC's former cultivation methods are rendered useless but MC has to recultivate from scratch.09. Author then makes MC spend 100-300 words on MC boasting (or whining) on about the past of how powerful he was in the past every chapter, without fail.10. Unfortunately, no matter how author tries to sell the creative "new combat moves" and "new cultivation methods" invented by MC with the absence of absence of divine chi/qi. It's just a lazy cut-and-paste and rehash of what author did a few thousands chapters ago. (Just replace the words "taking in divine chi/qi through the meridians" with "direct intake of the physical elemental essence into the flesh and bones")
