Jing Ye Ji Si
It’s a typical Chinese novel reinforcing all the Modern Chinese culture and their sneering all over. And BINGO! a Chinese auth hating Japanese, portraying them as evil. Frankly I just don’t like the idea of political hate creeping into any book that’s not historical book. Especially fantasy novels. By the amount of “Chinese medicine” solving anything plot armour throws at MC, his silence till all the side characters fill up the exposition and everyone’s sneering, short fused temper( not the Chinese novel temper, calm, deep, vigorous, spring, autumn, distinguishing gratitude, not being servile not overbearing, sharp eyebrows, and massive hard on for betting at every plot cliche) it repeats all over again. But when I saw auth bringing in Japanese to make them steal their military data, sure, the japs really need it. Anyway, you can read it to increase lethargy.
Review of the first 15 chapters ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If someone were to live for 10 thousand years, then his actions would be very different from a normal human. Our MC supposedly lived that long and yet acts like kid, it's mentioned times how arrogant he was in his previous life and how strong willed he was and yet again act like a kid. Somewhere in the story he get kicked out of his class and he gets shocked, i don't see why a 10 thousand year old Being, who fully knew how bad he was performing and how his teachers hated him gets shocked by such decisions. His background is just for show and never really reflects on him. The story doesn't adds up, its like the author had bunch of ideas but didn't know how to stick them together so he just decided to mention all of them without making a relation.
Many mistakes while reading the story. Mostly grammatical but sometimes it's so bad that it makes the whole sentence have little to no meaning. So I give that a 2 star. Stability of updates...I'm giving that a 2 star too mostly due to the extra padding of useless junk they keep adding at the end of the chapter and also because it seems that no one checked if the port from GravityTales to Webnovel was okay or not. Story Development and Character Design, I'm giving both 1 star because there really isn't much of either. The MCs personality and such keeps getting contradicted so much that it makes me wonder if I should take the description of the MC by the author seriously. Side characters also are described in a way it seems like they'll have some personality to them but end up just bootlicking and scraping after the MC and become rather dull and similar. World background...nothing original really. It's also a 1 star because it's simply a mix of typical Xianxia with typical China. But on another note...I keep reading it. It's because of the tree sap.

Truth to spill, after reading few hundreds of chapters I started to pity Chinese people now I understand why all of them are so afraid and hateful of others to be surrounded by such environment where they sneer each other and always sniffs at other people business and judges even if this is novel and not reallife but there is no smoke if there is no fire. That shows with all these Chinese cliche's where they bite each other with no thinking. After only reading this did I understood why Buddhism was created there like I say if there is no disease there is no need for cure and as China was rotting from within it gave birth to Buddhism without it I can't even imagine what kind of fate it would have. As for main character it feels like it's average only when it's needed that expert like deity mentality shows up and it looks like that author forgets about it, yes ı understand when it's around friends and family but when he adventure's it feels like character developed but sadly the only development is degradation.. If I knew about this I truly wouldn't had wasted my time on this. But at least this opened my eyes about Chinese abuses they live through.
I read till 930 chapter, and the story was good, till the plot armor happened so many times that I dropped it. Especially I hate that author makes side characters think like ancient people, were they consider race of a person first, and not the character. Like, yes, here we go again, every second villain is Japanese 😂 or American 😂. I dropped it than the Polish Magician summoned a tiger and a dragon(900+ chapter) First of all, he is a mage, not a daoist to summon a dragon. Secondly, where are NO FCKING TIGERS IN POLAND. At least make it realistic if you reflect real life cultures into your novel, western culture never worshipped tigers, dragons, snakes or some other eastern mythological creatures. It is stupid, imagine a cultivator casting spells from Warcraft, or witcher using daoist techniques. Also the mc clearly states that he is not interested in woman, yet he still makes a harem, and let females manipulate him into accepting them. Really, you are 10000 y.o., have some shame old pervert. Although I liked the plot, and how he made money, and also faceslapping was really nice. But if the novel was not filled with han-supremacy, it would be greater. It is 21st century, and you shouldn't think like a medieval barbarian, especially than writing a novel. So far 7.3/10 and f*ck chinese communist propaganda.
I love the beginning of this novel. Read it more than once as I caught up to the chapters that had been translated. The MC is what I would like to see in an MC, kind but capable. He is not murdering people and their families (though later he does a bit of the stabby stabby but it is justified well and generally done in a clever rather than just evil way). I eventually stopped when the author decided to go a bit too overboard with his terrorist plot and have heard that the harem gets a bit out of control later on too. I solidly recommend the first 450 chapters or so of this novel as they are by far the best take on this situation I have read.
