It has been a loooooooong while since we‘ve actually had a quality book in trial read that isn’t just a copy of others. In other words, this is good and you should read it.

Standard IET stuff. Honestly all his books are the same and reading one means you read them all. I see no difference between Ji Ning, Qin Yu, Xu Jingming, etc are all literally the same character. But thats fine, people who are reading IET for the first time will get something that isnt straight garbage but I have a big problem with this particular novel. I can *feel* the nationalism when I read this. IET wasnt making it subtle whatsoever here. China #1 can be felt throughout my first 100 or so chapters, lemme explain. So the entire world is given VR technology and when they go online they can practice martial arts. After a while a ranking ranking is made with the strongest at the top and guess which nationality 2 of the top 3 are? Thats right folks, its granddaddy China with the other from Botswana. It just seems like China is naturally more talented than every other country by a wide margin. Lets not even get into the comments from the live streaming in VR, its constantly about oh man, these expert martial artists from [other country] are strong, but China is still better. I think the funniest example is in chapter 148 when the strongest from Korea is made out to be an arrogant mf who is going around challenging the top 3 just to get more views on his live stream. I feel like IET's recent novels have lost the magic from Desolate Era, Swallowed Star, COILING DRAGON, Stellar Transformation, etc and part of that is the nationalism here, while in the other recent novels its been a lot more logical. In his earlier works the MC got super lucky at the start and then had to muddle through the entire universe just to be the best and in recent time the MCs dont get lucky, they were just naturally talented and got some benefits here and there that make sense. My problem is that making sense doesnt carry the same *brilliance* of a moment like in Desolate Era where Ji Ning gets the inheritance and starts his journey or when Lou Feng died fighting the Gold Dragon.

The writing is pretty solid, but the story is absurdly boring, it's really bizarre that an author of this category would write such a dull story. I will give 1 star to balance the 5 stars the fanboys are giving

Honestly, between the inaacuracies in the way certain weapons are used in real life and the book, along with IET pretty boring tournament arc history, this book really is not that engaging. For example, everything so far and implied for the future by the title is going to be combat tournament arcs. No offense but tournament arcs are usually the worst part of any light novel. Authors seem to stick to the formula and i cannot imagine why an author like IET would limit themselves to a story like that, especially when they describe thw characters using weapons in ways that the weapons are not used. The best example is the Halberd scene where IET describes the warrior stabbing with the point and swinging with the bladed end. This is not how Halberds are used. Its like saying someone shooting a handgun is supposed to hold it sideways like a gangster its inproper and inaccurate. Halberds are held with two hands and the staff end is used to parry and prod until an opening is made where the combatant can bring the axe/hammer end down. Put it quite simply the book doesn’t seem all that intresting 42 chapters in so im dropping This is a 2 and a 1/2 star book but I have to give two 5 stars for update stability and translation quality so tale the score as you will.

Mediocre [img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend]

Usually a big fan of IET. Xianxia and VR are my two favorites genre of webnovel but as much as it kills me to say it, IET managed to make this perfect mix (for me) into something incredibly boring (at least thus far)

the updating schedule should be changed to 4 days per chapter

IET: therefor: the MC is doesn't have a system or a cheat that lasts him till the end of the novel. The MC doesn't have a harem. The MC is a genuinely good person. just that much is enough to be a breath of fresh air.

the books over can u remove it from privilege ffssssss webnovel

Don't purchase privilege as the translator hold end of month dump for after the 1st. 31st is today and one chapter 12 days ago then one chapter 6 days ago uploaded then nothing until after the first.

The setting is somewhat unique but the thing that stands out the most in my opinion is the cast of characters. Solid book IMO and you know IET is always quality.

Nice story, as expected from IET Read it till chapter 788, amazing story development Anyone know the raw link? Cannot afford the premium lol

Loved the story and can’t wait for the ending. But why are chapters after 788 not getting posted to general readers? They are locked away, please unlock!!

Extremely disappointed in what this has turned into. Chapters became very short, in less than 1 minute I read it completely. An entire chapter being cut into four? Really? Is very sad.

Idk who paid bots to write reviews but man I was baited ... story is just plain boring chinese propaganda ... read 40 chaps here and gave chance up to 150 and I dont think I was ever this bored with story ... straight out disappointing and Im not even mentioning 1chapter per WEEK ... it will takes years fot this garbage to get fully realeased

Pure trash wash rinse repeat typical Chinese xianxia garbage and the update stability is horrendous don’t wast your time.e

A well thought out and engaging story. It starts slow but picks up fast and keeps you wanting more. There is some, for lack of a better term, heavy handed nationalism in a couple of the more recent chapters, but I think we have all learned to roll our eyes and continue reading through it by now. Overall well worth your time, you won't regret giving it a chance!
