At first, I was genuinely shocked by the graphic violence and cruelty in the story, but the intriguing plot compelled me to push through and continue reading, eager to uncover its twists. However, I stopped when Fu Yin's backstory began, as it closely resembled the events in my previous life and the plight of my partner's grandmother. In Fu Yin's case, she was not the primary wife but an unacknowledged lover. Her ex-husband exploited her family's influence to secure his current position, then discarded her after achieving success. This parallels the actions of Qin Yunshen towards me and the previous emperor's treatment of my partner's grandmother. The narrative hinted that I might assist Fu Yin and Fu Yunxi in reclaiming their status, but romanticizing such actions felt distasteful, given our shared history with deceit. Initially, the plot was the sole reason I kept reading, but now it seems to be veering into territory I've always反感, akin to a breaking point. As a result, without finishing it, I rate it neutrally, leaving room for interpretation.
Huh, an evil mc, adding to my list on eventual reads lol
It's pretty good but I would suggest you to wait for the final chapters to get released.
I was about to check it out but this comment scared me off lol. What are the ages of the main characters, please?
I was digging through garbage and I found diamond. Read it, you will like it.
Hello, ChrisW.
You’re actually right, you’re amazingly perspective.
The author ripped of a tv show for the pirate arc, I don’t remember which nor how many times the author did this. Since I didn’t read past that arc.
But I’m allegedly assuming that the author did this for every arc. Perhaps not the first one, but for every arc after that.
I hope someday someone makes a list of the arcs and where the author originally “allegedly” stole them from.
i dunno about recommendations but theres actually an anime adaptation of this, check it out you might find some similar stuff there on funimation.
Does this end on a major cliffhanger ?
dont really want to read the second book cuz its not completed
"Damn, it's fantastic, but it's over. Huhu, I couldn't wait for the Butterfly Curse translation, so I went straight to the raw website and used Google Translate. The language isn't clear, but I managed to grasp the storyline. And damn, it really is over. Huahuuuu.
The ending sees NingShu happily becoming a one-handed Void creature, living with Earthworm, the Whip, Fairy Fatian, and the Monkey Jinji. Mo Ming assists her in her Blemishless Martial Arts Plane with the Cheongsam Man. Zheng Qin, NingShu's first system, turns into a gecko, and Uncle Taishu, their brother, entrusts Zheng Qin to NingShu before his own demise. Unfortunately, due to misunderstandings caused by the darkness consuming him, there's a tragic note.
What's heartbreaking is Uncle's final message to Zheng Qin, "I hope you'll take care of yourself in the future, interact with the nobility, and enjoy your life." Uncle always cherished and looked out for his twin, despite his mischievous nature. People believed they both perished, but he made countless divine patterns and tried various methods to keep his brother alive. In the end, he had to sacrifice himself to contain the Void's darkness, which led to his eventual annihilation. I can't stand Emperor Li Wen, but he's gone now. I wish ill upon him, but seeing how hard he fought to stay with his brother, it's devastating. I'm torn between hating and loving Uncle Taishu. I wanted him to win, but after all his efforts, he met such an end. I didn't mind his death during the battle with NingShu, but his determination to keep Zheng Qin alive, their shared life, and his last words to Zheng Qin break my heart. Why must endings be so heart-wrenching... I appreciate the author's hard work, even though there were some errors, like the Cheongsam Man rejoining the faction after being absent for a while. Also, the reincarnation world's Guardian Dog, Gouzi, was initially black but became darker after eating evil beasts. In later chapters, it's mentioned that he was originally white. It's a bit confusing, but hey, there are almost 4500 chapters, so maybe the author will consider a sequel or continue the story with Xu Wang, Li Wen, A Wan, and The Heart. We don't know what happens next for them, and I wonder if Uncle Taishu will return. Poor guy."
Wow, I couldn't even get through five chapters. Despite giving it a chance despite all the negative reviews, I decided to stop. The main character's treatment of the male lead at the beginning is utterly disrespectful – she mercilessly beats him without any apparent reason. She tries to justify her actions by claiming that he's the ultimate evil in a world 500 years ahead, where she comes from. However, constantly comparing the original protagonist's cruelty to hers and realizing she's repeating their cycle only serves to highlight her own恶劣 behavior. It's difficult to read and even more difficult to accept. This goes beyond cruelty and sadism; it's frustrating to see someone treated so unfairly. Screw this novel.
My thoughts on this are quite mixed... The narrative is enjoyable and not overly cringe-worthy. The main character refrains from flaunting his abilities, with occasional minor conflicts. However, the MC frequently flirts with other girls despite having a girlfriend, which is a common trope. While I don't necessarily object to it, I find it concerning when his girlfriend takes responsibility for his actions, implying she can't control him, which isn't entirely realistic.
Characters are decent but lack depth, not living up to the idealized portrayal by the author. They have their flaws and shortcomings. The writing style is solid, giving us a glimpse into the MC's daily life, but there's certainly room for improvement.
In conclusion, I'd rate it 3.5 stars out of 5.
"The Unrivaled Sect, an enthralling tale, captivated me from the very first page. A riveting blend of fantasy and intrigue, it weaves an immersive world where ancient powers clash with modern ambitions. The characters, complex and relatable, leave readers invested in their journeys. The plot twists kept me on the edge, while the seamless integration of themes of loyalty and self-discovery made for a profound read. I found myself lost in its pages, unwilling to put it down. A true standout in contemporary literature."
