It’s very good, I have no clue what to type here so I’m typing this bye bye, never mind still not enough, bye bye, 240 characters is a lot maybe now? Yeah
This is wish fulfillment type of story with your typical Beta anime MC with woman here and there. So don't expect a challenge or character development, so read this in your leisure time but of course don't read it if you're reading novel with serious heart

very good, It's rare to find a book like this, raw please
I'm going to give a really quick summary of my review. the author takes out what is arguably the only good point in the story for over half of it and expects people to continue to enjoy. you'll understand what I mean once you get to the higher world levels
the first Arc as I would call it which is the lower world cultivation is pretty good. It's relatively well done not many mistakes the tad bit of sexism which is normal in these novels but there isn't much nationalism if any at all. my problem is when we get to the higher world and our main character gets separated from his disciples which is whatever. my problem though is how hard the author tries to force it so that the main character can't meet up with which is honestly the most interesting part of the story is group of disciples. anywhere from being way too far to have soul guidance work or just straight up ignoring the main characters summons even though they're his disciples. or the main character being too much of a coward to go help out his disciple who was being captured by someone way weaker than the main character. it'd be fine if it only went on for like 10 chapters or so but it's already been over 100 chapters of the author coming up with every excuse imaginable on why the main character can't see his disciples. and that would be fine if that wasn't what made the story interesting. the main characters pretty two-dimensional he doesn't have much development and it's reasonable it's explained why early on and his personality is pretty on set. you know what you're getting from the main character and he doesn't deviate from it. the disciples are pretty interesting they come up with a lot of the comedy in the story and they make it interesting to read. getting rid of them for over what is currently half of the story is ridiculous. by the way I'm up to chapter 400 basically so pretty close to the end and he still hasn't met up with his disciples. usually I would just keep reading some already here at the end but the chapters are a bit too long to make me want to finish reading this when there's over 100 plus chapters still and I see no way it can end so soon and I also see no reason why he can't meet up with his disciples. another one of my pet peeves with this novel is how much the author makes what is supposed to be a righteous sect evil. I understand the human heart isn't true most of the time. however when you're supposed to be a Buddha the only way you should be able to cultivate that type of Mantra would be if you have a heart of goodness a heart of gold to say, if you are truly able to be a good person at least that's usually how these stories go and how it looks like this story goes. so why is it that every person in the Buddhist sect is a horrendous person who likes to either torture people for fun or doesn't mind killing Innocents because they were in the way. I understand how these novels work most of the time but it's really drawing a blank here when the author tries so hard to make almost all of them evil except for a very few portion.
last half of the synopsis makes no freaking sense where you on crack or something
Rip off of OEM, Transcending nine heavens and others lot of plot holes it is just a wishfullfilment novel with no drive over the story the mc is basically almighty and all his social network are loyal followers no ******* in this story not reccomending others
As of Ch.466:
[TRANSLATION QUALITY]
-Naming- Even with so many staff involved, there is no confusion and naming standardization is top-notch. Every character's name is the same throughout the translation making google searching characters to freshen up memory easy for those who do it.
-Spelling- I didn't notice anything after reading through the chapter, and after putting it through a Notepad++ with spellchecker all I got was some false positives in US Eng vs Brit Eng spelling differences.
All in all, the English is coherent and the translation is consistent.
[CHARACTERS]
- Expect a wide variety of characters and a glossary will be needed. In terms of character presence there are introduced characters who will follow the MC throughout the story as a team, introduced characters who will be relevant to the ark and maybe get an appearance later, characters who are introduced but always kept in the background appearing occasionally as hidden mechanisms, and of course characters who are introduced and then thrown into a trash heap. So character importance for memorization is unpredictable as even some seemingly irrelevant ones become important cogs in the machine. This is a plus from me, but also why you will need a glossary.
- In terms of character variety, let's just say you will be reading a bit of Game of Thrones here, with very varied character personalities, motivations, alignments, both antagonists you will root for and antagonists you will hate. Some side characters have MASSIVE impact on the story and MC, so they are not just throwaways to make the MC's aura shine above all. The interactions are complex and political, and a lot of characters are susceptible to varied development and influence that can be both bad and good including the MC. The MC is not perfect, far from it, but he is also awesome in his own way and is put by the author through some very tough situations for growth and not all of them are win-win situations (which is the biggest plus I give to this story - the author has balls and doesn't shy away from tragedy). As such the MC is actually relatable.
[BATTLES AND CULTIVATION]
The cultivation system is basically the mid stages of humanity developing a new system after the complete crash of the typical Xianxia cultivation system with spirit energy and the whole shabang in the past of the story. As a consequence the MC isn't just blindly following preset rules but spends a lot of time researching, being creative, and creating his own path in the world. Unlike many other stories where protagonists gain super-techniques from past creators, this MC is the creator of his own path left mostly to his own devices and inspiration from the world and helpers around him, and he is also a teacher and an influence upon others. The battles are pretty varied, are easy enough to visualize, and the author gives some basic descriptive reminders of techniques last i remember. The only thing i could whine about is that i sometimes lose track of the comparative power-levels due to descriptions, but that may be down only to me and my memory and requires input from other readers as well. A glossary won't be required for battles anyway.
[STORY]
Romance is present, is monogamous, and will develop slowly, and I also don't give a toss about romance. Now that we got that out of the way:
Story progression is varied, sometimes quick and sometimes slow and sometimes in-between. The important part is that the side-character bits are not too long but rationally proportioned, and when they are long they are actually relevant and worthy to read through as normal, or have a noticeable buildup which gives them value. As i mentioned before, lots of politics, lots of character building and development, author takes the writing in unpredictable ballsy directions sometimes. MC actually feels mortal rather than immortal, is stuck in some bad situations where outcomes are unpredictable - not always the best, and sometimes even the worst.
[GEOGRAPHY]
A glossary isn't required for it. The locations are repeated enough times, and the relevant storytelling is usually concentrated around a certain location at the time such that memorizing is not required.
The world building isn't much too big at this point. The author prefers to make the most out of least, and as such the locations are smaller in number than other novels but their descriptions are more fleshed out and tied to the politics, cultivation system, and story writing. The only thing i don't like is that it's tougher for me to make a mental map of the world compared to other novels for some reason (i knew the reason in the past but forgot by now as i'm reading over 50 other novels dammit), however the painting of the locations themselves is pretty clear, and most importantly the geography changes and its changes impact the story tangibly in both politics and cultivation.
I think it has great potential, and a hint of romance would truly go a long way.
It's an amazing novel, I would buy this book without a second thought if I found it in a bookstore. It's a shame that the author deserves the name ''LaziestDragon'' haha
It's a good novel I want to read more so plz continue, I am interested nine the novel so don't drop it and it is fun reading it. Hope you will continue with this novel.
I really like how you have build your story world and how you are progressing is. The fast updates are a great bonus. I am really enjoying it at the moment.
