Northern Wind Sword
I gave this one a chance and read the raws as it was quite entertaining at the start but that is also the best part about it. This novel is just frustrating as disasters to the family keep on happening. Dumb decisions and no character development made me drop this novel. Spoilers: There are enemies around every corner, ancient demons and old immortals trying to devour the baby as nourishment but what do they do, just taking walks around the wilderness, foreign cities and even going to secret realms. Why would u take a 6 month year old baby to an ancient secret realm??? Also he starts talking like a grown up after 6 months, scolding his father and other family members(haha my son is such a genius haha, its normal for him to curse me) 150 chapters in and the baby is still just a one year old, so no character growth. He sneaked out so he can go to a secret realm in the north where all other forces are at. For what? To compete with others for resources. He has a system and is a prodigy himself that advances almost every other day, so why cant he just stay at home for a few years and train there instead of courting disaster everywhere he goes
Extremely boring and bland, frankly just irritating to read. Was actually decent in my eyes until Xuan Yanran, weirdest pedo ever. I feel like the author himself realised how weird it was and tried to mitigate it in the next chapter. I think this because when she was introduce it was said she was 16 years old but then she became 10 years old, this is relevant because she likes the 10 day old MC. Not to mention the pacing, its so slow, so so slow. I get its a slow cultivation world but when this man is creating heavenly phenomena to still be an infant and in body refinement at like chapter 28...... just do a time skip. The marriage annulment killed it for me I mean come on this Xiao Shui has done like nothing maybe you can argue his family is a bit annoying but the Mc just clowns on him for no reason at all. I just can't. tldr: Slow and Boring
I have to be honest I am completely weirded out by the novel. You know Twilight right ? That werewolf guy Jacob that saw Bella pregnant with the vampire Edward's child. Smelled her daughter somehow in her belly and decided to raise her kid before getting romantically involve with her ? That is how I felt reading this. I have read up to chapter 23 and towards the end I could not continue anymore because of how uncomfortable I felt, exact same feeling. Like right that moment MC is two days old and the girl has fallen in complete love with MC both body and mind. I know it's not technically pedo since they are both kids but MC is still a baby. The elders knows, the grandmother of the girl also see through it and thinks it's ok. Like look, I know the title of the novel and it was because of it I was thinking to myself I will finally be happy to be able to find a novel without romance however not only did I not get what I wished for but I can already imagine reading the next chapters about a little girl grooming MC to marry him later and this is as bad as what Twilight had made me feel. Translation quality 5 Story development 2 (Very slow) Character design 1 (Too 1 dimensional) World background 5 (Takes from other novel, no creativity but ok not bad I guess)
