I hate reviews that give a ranking without any explanation, and unfortunately the most popular review for this novel is one of those. This novel's first chapters are certainly not the best. However, the novel does get much better as the MC learns to survive in a sect where all rules only apply to the poor, and all violations can be cleared with a fine. The MC grows throughout the series from a weak pushover with a weak mentality, to someone others fear and respect.
Of course, everything I've just mentioned can only be seen if you move to the source material (MTL/RAW).
In short, not a masterpiece, but it has many moments of laughter and definitely one of the best this site has introduced this month.
