Well it's excellent
to the person reading this, the comments on all chapters are connected and there's a big spoiler bellow stop scrolling there's no helpful or funny comments for you to read
I bet that "Artisan" was his mother or at least she's a descendant of the Artisan who made the robe.
Terrible grammar(he,she,his,her) the regular mistake. But the story was decent . If you can ignore the pronouns problems . It’s not half bad .
Dear author, your writing is beautiful and your story is flowing quite impressively. please keep up the astounding impressiveness you have started with.
Since many people rate this novel badly for a stupid reason (slow pace, boring). I'll give 5 stars. Come on guys you read too much op nonsense novel. If you rate a novel 1 just because it is slow, then 90% of western novels are bad
This novel is written by the same author of throne of magical arcana, which is currently my favorite CN. So I have my hopes high for this novel
I'll change my rating later
The novel starts off quite interesting. As is typical with the trend of transmigration stories, MC doesn't think twice about being teleported to another world- that's completely ok, actually. His transmigration and his immediate assimilation into the world can be excused, despite the fact that he came from a world of familiar smartphones and not a world with a jumbled mix of advanced "ring" systems, ancient relics, and wacky monsters.
That one point. That is excusable. However, much like credit card debt, you cannot declare bankruptcy the second time.
It would appear as though the author definitively planned out the first 20 or so chapters of the story- it feels pretty realistic, and the MC's wits show through in a manner that engages the reader, despite his crippling handicap. Ever present in the background was his impending death, as his lifespan was essentially crippled to around 3 months.
Then, the warning signs begin to show.
His cheat skill, a sort of system, activates and immediately catapults him to importance by granting him the ability to summon monsters he kills, which the translator terms "Imperial Censure". There is no explanation on how this role fits into society, simply that the role is "exclusive" and represents "high status".
What else does it do? Allow him to copy skills, for one. Instantly, MC is a comprehension genius. The author's lazy writing starts to show through here, around the assessment arc.
MC enters desert. Desert has sand monsters. Fight sand monster, summon sand monster. Mutated?! Joy!
The above is literally how the world building in this novel works. Author throws out a random location, describes it with a line or two, and then focuses back on MC.
This could be remedied if the MC was adequately fleshed out, but that doesn't occur, either. The whole reason the MC is joining the assessment is because his system would've deserted him otherwise, because apparently the transmigration, monster, and OP system tropes weren't enough- the author needs a quest aspect as well.
What else happens? MC meets possibly the most overpowered character in the entire story (literally a surviving half god) and his blood somehow managed to revive her. Then, she instantly heals his crippled lifespan. He subsequently proceeds to learn an Epic skill from watching her brew tea. Afterwards, he returns to the assessment like nothing happened.
Yeah. However, I digress.
Overall, the author attempts to demonstrate the MC's prowess at the expense of world building and other characters. Bai Yan, the main antagonist, was initially portrayed as aloof- he stated he wouldn't kill the MC because the MC was week. Flash forward 2 days and Bai Yan now picks fights whenever MC says anything. In public. What?
MC apparently is the only one with brains as well. With an impending monster horde, there's no way for everyone to escape. What should they do?
MC suggests rather plainly that they could group up and fight- author throws in some random locations to make MC seem smarter, and everyone reacts as if MC is a genius. He's really not. Even his power is borrowed. And what he does have came from plot armor. He's essentially a vessel that is given "personality" by the secret seeds of wish fulfillment within our hearts- nothing more.
If you value world building and character development, don't read this. If you're willing to turn off your brain and become one of the numerous other side characters that fawn over the MC, then I guess you could give it a shot.
*Translation and editing are both really basic. I do not profess to be competely adept at grammar, but as a native, the choppy sentences are quite numerous. Additionally, the word choice is extremely bland and basic.
On the flip side, I guess there's at least a semblance of uniformity across the mundane story, cardboard MC, and uninteresting descriptions. I hope the irony of this praise is not lost to you.
So far(ch 160), Loved it. It offers something fresh in the cultivation genre like how not the whole world revolves around mc and there are various characters/factions with their own schemes and plans. The world background and the character designs kinda reminds of BOTDS and how every important characters have their own mysteries surrounding them. Pls keep updating author, its a good novel[img=update]
it is good story but it is copied from other novel
name - please i don't want to fall in love with my sect master!

I’m back again with another review~
This story is great and although there are not a lot of chapters yet, I have faith in the writer (no pressure xD)
One thing that kind of confused me at the beginning were the rankings. They tell us that the rankings are ‘A and up’ and that disoriented me a little. A and up? As in A B C D E F, with A being the lowest and F being the highest? I believe that is the case in this story.
Btw this is super easy to get used to, so it doesn’t hinder your reading experience. It just confused me at first because it’s usually A B C D E F, with A as the highest rank and F as the lowest rank.
Thank you for taking your precious time to write this, you have my vote.
Reading the latest chapter of this novel, I can feel that this will be a good read since the plot is OP MC at the start and due to circumstances, he want back to level 1. Since he reverted back to the start, we can see how he will develop in the future to prepare himself for the 10-year timeframe before everything goes to hell. For me, this novel has potential. Though there are some things that don’t fit within the storyline, I still find this interesting nonetheless. Hope you keep releasing more chapters, I’m looking forward to it!!
