I would not be opposed to reading this if the 5k chapter count is deserved, but I strongly suspect that it is yet another web novel that has fallen prey to 'I must make rent, so I will continue to prolong this series for money.'
Could anyone who has read this tell me? I feel like the whole novel will be a constant repeat of the MC finding themselves in a new realm as the weakest, becoming the strongest there, going to a new realm as the weakest, and continuing that for 5k chapters. I don't think I could handle that for 5k chaps.
Awesome novel, I liked it a lot, would recommend :)
DAM THOSE LEGS
Yup, I read the first 100 chapters. ( totally agree with you and do you need another phone to throw?)
edit: still reading with meh though.
That's what we call "chain-villains"
The initial draw for me to this story was its well-written prose, which I commend the author and translator for. That's why I continued reading until Chapter 36 before ultimately dropping it, and it's why I'm giving it two stars instead of one. However, outside of the writing, there wasn't much else I enjoyed.
Firstly, I generally avoid tragedy and themes involving rape, even attempted ones, especially when it involves the main love interest (ML), which in this case is the rapist. I also cannot stomach the concept of "Dad x Son" dynamics, regardless of whether it's adoption-related. If those topics bother you, I strongly advise against picking up this novel. For me, it's not a suitable choice.
If you were hoping for a light-hearted entertainment read, this might not be it either. Although the synopsis suggests otherwise, the focus isn't on the main storyline but rather on the MC's relationship with the ML. Initially, the fast-paced development could be appealing if you like the ML, but for me, it fell flat.
Characters-wise, the novel lacks depth and cohesion. The MC's reincarnated character is portrayed as generic cannon fodder, and while I empathize with his situation, it's the adoptive father who truly disappoints. Shockingly, upon discovering the MC's attraction to him, the father attempts to rape him – a scene that is disturbing and hard to justify, given the circumstances.
Even the supporting characters and the MC himself are poorly developed. Their personalities are inconsistent and underdeveloped, particularly the MC, whose character feels hastily constructed. He's often described as a feline, but that's about it, making him seem one-dimensional and vaguely sexualized.
What I really wished for after reaching Chapter 36 was a resolution where the father and son formed a genuine bond, devoid of any romantic or sexual implications, just as a typical parent-child relationship should be.
In summary, while the writing quality is commendable, the story's content and character development are major drawbacks, making it a less enjoyable read for those with certain preferences or seeking a well-rounded narrative.
by the way, what is your mother tongue?
I have been looking for this for so long
Why do I feel as if the story hasn’t finished?
I stopped reading somewhere around chapter-70, It became kinda uninteresting, I feel like nothing significant is happening. Does it get worse or better after chapter-70?
An Orthodox cultivation novel, a nice read as a break away from the more unique ones.
Reading this im reminded somewhat of desolate era and ATG.
The mc's cultivation speed can be considered average when compared to other series but of course his protag priveledge manifests as immense combat prowess.
Nothing super out of the world in this novel that would surprise anyone.
It shouldn’t be necessary as this novel came out first, and the prequel wasn’t written until there were already 1k+ chapters of DC out.
