Although I don't like the Xiao family, I also don't like Xuan Yanran. Her way of doing things isn't just right.
it a good book for trial reading good story
As of Ch. 225 I’ll be honest I’m a little torn on my thoughts on this novel. I shall explain why.
First of all the overall concept of the novel is great, author does well to make sure there are no plot holes in terms of the MC’s decision making or how he advances in strength. The pace of the novel is also good, it’s fast enough that you can enjoy the progress and also understand what’s going on. The word count for every chapter is also really long, and finally the storyline itself is GOOD.
I’ll be real though, there’s a massive info dump in this novel. It’s not very noticeable early on but as you hit the later chapters, it goes into extreme depth with the MCs thought process, reasonings behind his actions and then over explains everything that’s happening.
I, for one, don’t mind info dumps if they’re done correctly. But that amount I’ve read, and where the story is currently at don’t add up. It becomes a pain to read at some point because you can see the MC being fleshed out and improving with every chapter but in the grand scheme of things the MC is literally going from a power level of 10 to 11 and the people he’s catching up to are sitting on 100. (This is an example, not a spoiler).
The crazy part though is that because every chapter is condensed (and long which I like), you can’t help but think that the story is progressing well when in reality there’s not a lot happening (much like DBZ fight).
Sigh aside from the insane info dump, the only other thing I can point my finger at is that things that happen in the novel seem erratic and displaced. For instance, the MC will be breaking through a stage, and then the POV will randomly switch to his senior sister going through her own troubles, and then it’ll switch to some random disciple from a different faction talking with his faction friend etc.
This just led to me skipping over some sections because I was just more interested in what was happening with the MC and I think that takes away from what the author was trying to do. Ultimately, the problems I’ve mentioned aren’t super big and can be improved upon and I think it’ll make the nocel much easier to read.
If you’re considering reading this novel just go ahead and have a read. It does start a little differently that most other novels like this start but the storyline starts to get interesting after the first few chapters (I think 10?).
My brain hurts.
After a long testing period by yours truly. I deem this novel worthy to be on my list of Evil Protagonists.
Evil MC? Check!
No Harem or Romance? Check!
No Friendship or Familial Bonds? Check!
Interesting and fun to read? Check!
This story has a cliché yet unique beginning. The author has a firm daoheart and is not willing to compromise on the MC's character.
There are some parts in the story that make you question for a bit, but the author makes up for that with exciting FATE dilemmas.
As long as the author never goes against his core audience and decides to compromise on the MC's lack of values. Then, I will not give up on this story for the foreseeable future.
i love this story wayyy too much i reread sometimes just to experience certain chapters again. amazing story plots, amazing fleshed out characters, fantastic world building with lore behind it and would definitely recommend reading and the amount of times i physicaly reacted to some scenes its just so good.
its not some overpowered mc with cheat skills, no systems with level ups, not some harem with plastic characters, its serious when it needs to be, funny when it needs to be and so wholesome which can flip to grusome. its the adventure of these characters in a foreign world that has avatar the last airbender vibes but with isekai tones. the narration sometimes gets sassy and just mocks certain things in the story making it a really fun read.
by far the best thing are the characters. the main four are so entertaining to watch interact. fumekos the cutest tsundere istg , Jotou the protag whos flawed yet perfect. hotaru the moral compass. And then, my favourite main character asobi, is utter chaos in every sense of the word.
the fight scenes in this are just, chef's kiss. there is not TOO many since the writing is more suited for a longterm adventure and places importance on the characters and the plot but when they happen, omg its satisfying. the little details, the way each person fights differently, you can really feel the pain when someone gets injured or the WATCH OUT feeling when someone is about to get hit.
its an amazing read imo and an experience. it dips to depression and trauma and then suddenly there are ducks shooting beams of light, some gory fight scene with practical magic and elements then theres a cute wholesome yuri scene that makes my heart flutter. idk what else to say except, fantastic job.
What can I say, just another classic made by PancakesWitch, she just doesn't miss with her novels.
Obviously I’ll parrot what a lot of others have said. The story is a slow burn and I read over 400 chapters. What ultimately made me drop this title was that it felt like a scam. Three chapters come out every day but it feels like one. It really feels the author writes one chapter and splits it into three and then fills the gaps with junk. If I was the editor for this story I would have taken out most the useless stuff and condensed it down so that people would get what they are paying for. It’s one thing if a story is slower than others buts it’s another if it feels like it’s done on purpose.
very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !very good !
Anyone has the raw title? it seems to have been changed. can't find it.???
Looks good this might get trending I got the feeling cause I want what the mc have now that you think about it's like one punch man wealth edition hahahha.
With a great author like this one and a such storyline that clears away the boredom from the old boring novel concepts. I can't wait to see more from you author. Keep going ???
Great novel! Quite a different concept and very fun to read, the main character reactions are hilarious, and the story is quite immersive. Hoping for more chapters to come out!
