When reading this novel it can't be helped that you will compare it with IRASIf only compared with IRAS you will see that :- The MC isn't as likable as Zhang Ye(And Zhang Ye is infuriating sometimes)-The "Funny" part isn't that funny-The antagonists are even worse-The reactions from the audience sucks(You don't really feel them enjoying it feels very mechanical) But the story isn't that bad, is pretty average it just doesn't have anything that standout(India setup maybe?)Maybe is my fault for expecting moreOh and at least till I've read it, there is no racism, which is a good pointBut really the antagonists manages to be even pettier than in IRAS(which is quite a feat by itself)

I like it had a mostly original concept and it lived up to that concept being tower defence + town building + a little classic player schemes
Our MC suddenly awakens in the middle of the action of someone trying to kill him. Mc plot hole, he suddenly is able to save himself via a system. The pacing is decent, but simply is not my cup of tea.
First thing I want to say is I really like this story so far. Personally I’ve got no problems with it. I think my favorite thing about it is the desriptiveness of the world and its lore. That’s where it really shines to me. I can tell that this was really well thought out, and I enjoyed every second of it! I can’t wait to see what the author does with this story in the future!
I wish that the other chapter were free so I could read the rest of it. I have used up all of my fast passes just so I could read the locked chapters. please keep updating this book. It is really good .
If you think this is another wuxia trope full of cliche stereotypes, then you're completely right - BUT with the exception that the author has used a nice twist on each of the cliche. Trash MC that cant cultivate, but then magically solves his physique problems? Got it, but it takes a long time, and as of chapter 170, he's still struggling with it. Childhood fiance that comes to break up the engagement? Got it, but then due to righteousness sticks with the MC, as it would go against her values to go against her father's arrangement and kick a person just because he's down. Arrogant sect comes to take revenge after a few insignificant disciples being beaten (and thus in their eyes being humiliated)? Got it, but then the sect comes to apologise after learning that it was actually their disciples that were in the wrong.So yup, full of cliches, but they're refreshing. Another thing that's refreshing is the eccentric and very humoristic characters in the story. Yea, again, they're cliche, but they're pretty funny, and they each have their small quirk. Although the characters aren't that developed, it's a huge improvement to character development compared to many many other Chinese novels out there, where sometimes sidecharacters don't even have a sentence to describe them.Though full of mild praise, the world background is pretty convoluted, and the reader is only introduced to a small area of the world as you go along. Although this avoids information dumps, after 100+ chapters, it's pretty hard to figure out where the MC is in this world, and what the world actually looks like. On the topic of convoluted, the martial system is pretty difficult to understand, he opens meridians to advance, but there are never give a clear explanation to as what element meridians belong to which level or how many meridians he should open of each. Things are kind of mentioned on the fly, making the read just having to deal with it by accepting it. E.g., suddenly the author could mention, "now I've broken through the water meridian and opened my acupuncture, I'm now 1 step close to the martial warrior stage". Great, but how does this work? How many acupuncture do you have to open? What elements are there? Etc. Just reading about it, makes it all seem so messy - where if the author explained the system proactively, the reader would be able to keep track of the MCs progress.Another thing is the release stability - pretty damn horrible I'd say. Last release (as of writing) was 10 days ago, and before that it was pretty spotty with around a new chapter every 4~9 days. This really sucks, especially when this a really unique wuxia novel that does it's best to stand out from the crowd. So @translator, if you cant do your job stably, give it to someone else, hire more help, or give a clear message on what readers can expect from you. It says 8 chapters a week, but you're FAR from fulfilling that!Regarding the translation quality, there are some mistakes in both translation and grammar. Move over, there are mistakes in for example translating key information like the martial warrior stages, where one stage is used twice. Big no no, that a basic proof read should have caught.Overall, interesting story, funny characters with a world that feels developed. I hope that there will come a main heroine soon to bring some romance into the story, and a reveal of a deeper plot, which it really needs. So far the author has tried to hold back on filler chapters, but the translator stability and quality is a downside. I'd give the story 4.5/5, but the translator is bringing this story down by a notch. TL;DR: Give it a go, if you like wuxia novels and you're looking for something refreshing with a different spin.
I'm having so much fun reading this novel xD the mc is a total delight, humorous and cute because of how naive he is!Even the women are just so hilarious, I love all their interactions >.
It starts out pretty promising but the story quickly grows stale for me. The main problem for me is that the MC just pulls all of his techniques out of the reincarnation hat. He never really explores the techniques of this new world and the battles are lacking much suspense. I never feel that the MC is facing something he can't handle or can't immediately deal with. He also takes part in exams/tests etc but is clearly a bully in there because his power is way too strong and he should be competing with elite warriors from other countries rather than local students of your local school. Anyways I ended up dropping this for now. I might give it another read when it is complete and when I have no other novels to read.
Already wrote about what I love so now i'm going to add what I think can be improved and hopefully the author can take my suggestions into account. 1. Yun says he doesn't want to rely on Ling Xi too much however it's really all he has done so far whether it comes to dealing with every enemy that comes up or something else. 2. I would like to see Yun truly start getting combat experience by fighting other cultivators, however this isn't a huge knock because I really enjoy how the story is realistic as he has just became a cultivator so he clearly should be way behind when it comes to fighting people who grew up in a cultivation family or sect. 3. I would love for the world building to be a bit better and be explained in depth at some point. I can understand wanting to have a layer of mystery which makes the reader more interested and attached to the world building however it is a bit confusing that we know of the cultivation realm where strong cultivators are however there has been mentions of another realm above that where the Mo family fled to however we know nothing about even the cultivator realm yet so it feels a bit odd having something like that thrown in already. Keep up the good work author, just some personal suggestions. PS: I would love if you made a page that has all of the cultivation realms/tiers as it can get confusing which realm is above which
simple because ending is rush and mc companion or other dont have much dailogue like when he travelling with girl its like girl is invinsible and at and novel end with 500+ ch very rush so ......
I'm all for generic cliched novels. I mean, what else are you looking for on here. But this novel is so bad that it'll make you cringe. I was interested since the premise seemed solid, it had potential. However, it becomes rather apparent that the writer is not capable of living up to expectations. Which sucks because I was really looking forward to this one.
