Well, since mostly everyone who hasn't even read the book seems to be giving it 5 stars, I guess I'll make a comment on how disgusting, inconsistent and outright infuriating this MC and novel in general seems.
From what I've read(other peoples' thoughts) the MC is a horny little **** who seems like the type to ***** over his own faults, then get free stuff thrown at his lap, in order to make the novel as appeasing as possible to all those sad, horny fucks out there.
It's probably one of those no-brain, no-personality harems where no girl sticks around for longer than a few chapters, after which she's just a part of the ****fest once in a while, and no girl really has any personality whatsoever. Nor do they have any personality flaws.
This is one novel I'll never read, don't be fooled by the "C31" I'm no on that ch, I just happened to click on it as this novel was updated.
absolutely amazing book but the Mc absolutely disgusts me with how much of a beta cuck he is with no control over himself or his actions.....
If you think this is another wuxia trope full of cliche stereotypes, then you're completely right - BUT with the exception that the author has used a nice twist on each of the cliche. Trash MC that cant cultivate, but then magically solves his physique problems? Got it, but it takes a long time, and as of chapter 170, he's still struggling with it. Childhood fiance that comes to break up the engagement? Got it, but then due to righteousness sticks with the MC, as it would go against her values to go against her father's arrangement and kick a person just because he's down. Arrogant sect comes to take revenge after a few insignificant disciples being beaten (and thus in their eyes being humiliated)? Got it, but then the sect comes to apologise after learning that it was actually their disciples that were in the wrong.
So yup, full of cliches, but they're refreshing. Another thing that's refreshing is the eccentric and very humoristic characters in the story. Yea, again, they're cliche, but they're pretty funny, and they each have their small quirk. Although the characters aren't that developed, it's a huge improvement to character development compared to many many other Chinese novels out there, where sometimes sidecharacters don't even have a sentence to describe them.
Though full of mild praise, the world background is pretty convoluted, and the reader is only introduced to a small area of the world as you go along. Although this avoids information dumps, after 100+ chapters, it's pretty hard to figure out where the MC is in this world, and what the world actually looks like. On the topic of convoluted, the martial system is pretty difficult to understand, he opens meridians to advance, but there are never give a clear explanation to as what element meridians belong to which level or how many meridians he should open of each. Things are kind of mentioned on the fly, making the read just having to deal with it by accepting it. E.g., suddenly the author could mention, "now I've broken through the water meridian and opened my acupuncture, I'm now 1 step close to the martial warrior stage". Great, but how does this work? How many acupuncture do you have to open? What elements are there? Etc. Just reading about it, makes it all seem so messy - where if the author explained the system proactively, the reader would be able to keep track of the MCs progress.
Another thing is the release stability - pretty damn horrible I'd say. Last release (as of writing) was 10 days ago, and before that it was pretty spotty with around a new chapter every 4~9 days. This really sucks, especially when this a really unique wuxia novel that does it's best to stand out from the crowd. So @translator, if you cant do your job stably, give it to someone else, hire more help, or give a clear message on what readers can expect from you. It says 8 chapters a week, but you're FAR from fulfilling that!
Regarding the translation quality, there are some mistakes in both translation and grammar. Move over, there are mistakes in for example translating key information like the martial warrior stages, where one stage is used twice. Big no no, that a basic proof read should have caught.
Overall, interesting story, funny characters with a world that feels developed. I hope that there will come a main heroine soon to bring some romance into the story, and a reveal of a deeper plot, which it really needs. So far the author has tried to hold back on filler chapters, but the translator stability and quality is a downside. I'd give the story 4.5/5, but the translator is bringing this story down by a notch.
TL;DR: Give it a go, if you like wuxia novels and you're looking for something refreshing with a different spin.
should have bought the whole thing I read it with my free passes.
4/5

This novel feels more like wuxia instead of Xianxia.
Most of us read Chinese novels for enjoyment but this novel offers almost zero enjoyment.
Perhaps it would be change in future but so far it's a dull read.
The translations are fine but they could use some polishing (Yao race=Monster race. Yao core=monster core).
I really like the book my man, keep up the good work
Everything is good… except that the novel resets a few times on chapter 48 and 49 is the start of the first… Blah blah blah… last 2 resets aren’t even related to infinite mana and I think that it’s suspicious that the author has reset it a few times and I think he might’ve just dropped it.
Hey fellas!
So far i've read 13 chapters and honestly this doesn't seems to be getting anywhere; the protagonist feels bad and *****, poor attitude towards magic and nothing seems to have changed in at least a year after he started learning.
I'll edit this review in the future as more chapters come out and tell you guys my full opinion about it.
Cya ;)
Fantastic! This story is great and awesome! I love to read more chapters please author release more chapters please please please please please please
Really cliché and the mc is just so bland and lifeless and there’s basically no world building and the ecchi sense just make no sense and they’re just cringe and embarrassing to imagine that someone wrote that and thought that is was good and it bring shame to that time I got reincarnated as a slime and it’s like a really bad remake
