I read some reviews that liken this to Lord of the Mysteries (LoM). It does have hints of mysteries and a solid world building. But other than that, this is mainly a city building novel (at least up to Chapter 60). Instead of the MC making progress improving his level, it's all about opening wastelands and trying to make a thriving city out of a wild territory. Based on the current setup, the story does have the potential to branch out later.First Impression:In the opening chapters, there were literally three main female (plus one female side) characters being introduced. Normally, when I see that many females, my harem alarm goes off. Fortunately, it's apparent that that's not the case based on their interactions. Otherwise, it would be incest considering that two of them were the MC's n+1 great-granddaughters. Characters:The main character took over the body of Gawain Cecil and became the clan ancestor coming back to life. He's not OP, but he has the prestige of Gawain Cecil, who was the founding hero of the nation. Asides from the King and some nobles, he literally ranks the highest, which means that he automatically gains awe, fear and respect from people (unlike Klein Moretti from LoM, who basically has to work his way up). Gawain has an easy going manner. He's a transmigrator after all. So, he doesn't act old-fashioned like one would expect of an ancestor from the past. Towards his n+1 great-granddaughters, he behaved more like their colleagues. In fact, he's more liberal than anyone in the nation. He's rational and is a planner. So far, I haven't gotten annoyed by him. But I am annoyed with the female side characters, some more than others. Literally, all of them are so weak right now. They might get stronger later on, but right now, Gawain has to carry most of the load. (When Klein first started, all of his teammates are stronger than him. This is the complete opposite of that.)Rebecca: The current Viscountess of Cecil. She's young and naive. And so far, only knows how to cast one spell, fireball. I don't think she's dumb, just one who hasn't seen much of the world. Once she starts to mature, I think we'll see some growth. Herti: Rebecca's aunt. She's stronger and more serious. But all of her spells has like 99% chance of missing the target. Still, I quite like her seriousness and responsible attitude. Amber: the half-elf thief who possibly 'woke up' Gawain from his coffin. Many readers seem to really like her. She might even end up as a potential love interest for the MC? But she really gets on my nerve. She has an overly spunky attitude, which I normally like, but she mouths off at everything. Literally, if she can't get her opinion in about everything every time she shows up, she's not satisfied. Her appearance is meant for comedic relief but just ends up being really annoying. I skipped most of her dialogues cause they add almost no value to the story (except to want to let Rebecca throw fireball at her face). Betty: Rebecca's maid. Now, she is dumb. She annoys me even more than Amber. Fortunately, she has very few scenes. I don't know why Rebecca keeps sending her to report her work progress to Gawain. Because every time he asks what Rebecca wants, she just says 'I forgot'.Yep, that's the current setup. There's some knight characters that might potentially play some decent role. But right now, it's too early to tell since they have too few scenes. There's also mysteries behind MC gaining possession of the body and the reason why he hung on the sky for like a millennia. Even the original Gawain Cecil didn't seem like he's just a simple hero. Overall: Somewhat worth checking out if you appreciate a rational MC who doesn't think with his lower half, a good world building, and mysteries. And of course, lots of city building and logistic talks. Just know that the MC is currently stuck with pig teammates right now, who hopefully will improve. No indication of harem so far. A plus.
author friend ... if ever there was a novel that should not have been abandoned for any reason, it was this ... I urgently ask God author, creator of this jewel, to keep writing !!!
Review as of chapter 14.Alright i have been following the story since the very beginning .Now let's get some basics out of the way it''s a very well written story with amazing descriptions and fights.Though there are some grammmatical mistakes they have been reducing as we progress.Moreover i noticed the auhor has corrected many of them.What i love about the novel the most is the protagonist if i have to compare him with some that can only be our beloved FANG YUAN from RI.Now don't get me wrong there are diffrences like how Long Chen can feel kinship.But the qualities that make them similar are.1)Ambitious - Both Fang Yuan and Long Chen are very ambitious so you won't get your average Jiang Chen which has no shred of ambition whatever.Long Chen unapologetically pursuing his goals is a breath of fresh air.2)They are both evil and they know it.A lot of protagonist like Su Zimo from ESK or Long Chen from NSBHA appear to be ruthless. IMO they are kinda okay.The author also tries to make them look the good guy by making the villains as humanely despicable as possible. That's not the case with Long Chen if you stand in his way you are a goner.He is by no means a hypocrite and understand the laws of jungle.3)They both feel like they are in control.The last point is a bit hard to explain but lemme just say this no mc like Fang Yuan or Long Chen appear to be in complete control of the situation.It also stems fromt their arrogance that all the people around them are beneath them and mere chess pieces for them to manipulate.All in all author you better don't give up this masterpiecce.
The only thing that I can say isn’t a 5 out of 5 is the stability of updates, but everything else I believe was amazing to read. I really enjoyed reading this and I hope the author comes back to update so I can change the review to have 5 out of 5 for everything. (*≧∀≦*)
A really damn good and funny novel. I don’t understand how it doesn’t have more readers. Good translation and editing too. Keep it on. ????
A sign-in novel where mc is not following virgin-Dao cause of his HANDsomeness.... I support getting this novel pick...................................
This needs go be chosen. This is basicaly a serious anD better version of ‘im not the Son of providence’. It doesn’t have any Young masters or anything dumb Like that and the mc knows how to use his powers effectively. Oh the biggest thing is that theres No system or reincarnation so the mc is genuinely smart.
This is the best new webnovel qidian has released since "I Just Won't Play By The Book" and, in my opinion, is in fact quite superior to that novel. It's very gratifying to be offered a genuinely good book to read after what seems like many trial area refreshes in a row that had nothing but terrible novels. We can only hope it gets picked.
overall standard everyone gets blan I'm a God honestly one of the better premises butt the author repeatedly brok his own logic for no reason and mc has no personality its difficult to understand why he does anything he does
not recommended .its's trash .. U be wasting ur time in this
Good story. The main character a bit wishy washy. But I believe in character development. Hopefully he can become strong as soon as possible! Many typo. But its okay!!
The author uses flashbacks and foreshadowing properly, and even took the stepsister plot and made it actually enjoyable and not cliche, and feels like time flies when reading this. I reccomend even watching the anime.
