honestly couldn't tell if I even liked the story as they were only three short chapters available to read and chapters 4 through 25 are paywalled by Amazon. which is stupid as most cultivation novel readers don't even know whether they like a cultivation novel until somewhere between chapter 15 and 30 and that's dependent on other factors such as the length of chapters and how much content was in those chapters. so those are key chapters to hooking in new readers to support you on your patreon or whether they want to read more and by the book off Amazon. your marketing strategy is stupid as you don't show enough content to actually hook in new readers to want to buy it.
the first hundred chapters are the most interesting and well written, it's a pity that then the quality of the novel has fallen dramatically. Especially the useless clone chapters. Or the fact that MC lets go of his enemies every time - settlers or clones of the dragon emperor. Yes, he explains that they have life-saving techniques or artifacts, but most of them should not have such things as they come out of ordinary society. Extremely long chapters. It was one of the xiangxia that I really LOVED, but now it's not readable. :(
The novel is... OK? The starting was quite fantastic and the ideas are quite good. The main problem here is why would author post useless chapters without any contents? Asking readers to read somewhere on another platform? I really hate it. There is only 'The chapters 1 to 25 or 26 to 50 are posted on Bla Bla Bla' made me mad! Why would you post chapters here? I feel like that you are using this platform as an advertisement for gathering readers. Note: I have read only first 45 chapters only. Now comes the review about story. The problem in this novel is: The main problem here is every'thing' distains MC. For god's sake, he's someone from a huge background but from the very start, even the mobs and side characters are showing distain and I'll intent toward MC as if he's a beggar and useless person. Evey single place, Every single event, MC is distained by people and MC and his supporters do not do a thing or don't even know a thing. My head hurts while reading such novels! Why would you write something like that? Is MC a mascot? Is MC a goody guy who spares everyone? I can't say... The background is very confusing. Is he someone with strong background? or is he from a normal/mid level background? Everyone distains him and makes me confused. Then the world background is also very confusing. What are the ranks of Aristocrasts? One guy says he's from Gu or whatever empire he is and show distain to MC and it turned out that he have a weak background. He was acting so arrogant that I felt that he had same background as MC. It's so bad that it started to kill my remaining brain cells. The chapters are messed. Some chapters are available on one site, while some are only available on other sites. It's so troublesome that I had to switch 3 different platforms to get a good amount of chapters to read.
A solid start to a semi-serious cultivation story. I think there's a lot here to like. My problem with these types of lighthearted cultivation stories is all to often they fall into the tropes that they are satirizing, and they often end up with an incoherent plot. And while this one is so far doing okay on the plot front its definitely treading some familiar ground. All in all the novel ends up perhaps a little less outright "funny" than the best in the genre, but if you actually enjoy cultivation novels, and don't mind a bit of humor on top this one has a lot of potential.
As the novel has not yet reached chapter 100, I cannot give a 100% accurate opinion. So far we have an interesting story with an MC who probably wants to be like the MC of the novel "My senior brother is too steady", to be cultivating on the mountain all the time, but due to being a world of cultivation he ends up stuck in karma with others cultivators. The world panorama has not yet been fully developed, so I can only assume that either the universe as a whole was made from Pangu's theory or only his and there are other multiverses with different bases. The development of the secondary characters is concrete, although there are comments that claim that the author focuses on others other than the MC, basically they want to turn this novel into a cliché. As far as the author's grammar is concerned, I am not very opnative about this issue because I am reading from a country that does not have a native language like English. My only request was that the author be careful with the cultivation of the MC, since many novels place many stealthy encounters for their main characters and basically make them beings that every 50 chapters or 100 skips a great cultivation kingdom. Only that and good luck to the author.
Very interesting idea that for the most part is put together well, good to see a character capatalising on being in such a high position. However the major complaint I have is that the main character barely tries to get rid of possible future threats while he has the chance by using his power. Someone who sees the MC as the problem always escapes, or the MC doesnt even try to kill them and obtain their treasure, or to be safer in the future. Disapointing given the premise.
Haha I really liked the novel, I hope the author continues :3 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This novel started well, then you have a sharp drop then well again then another sharp drop now i don't really now. At first i liked it it was somewhat novel for me, then the mc started having problems with his cultivation and i liked this too somewhat ( it was a first) however the author has a tendency to waste chapters like the first time he had problem with cultivation was fine, the second time no with the second time we have a lot of chapters where i don't really feel anything like the mc goes from place a to place b and things happen but at the end the mc is still the same. we also have the clones of the mc which are a totally fillers if you jump them you lose nothing the clones also have problems with cultivation so no progress for them at all ( we have DOZENS of chapters on the clones that are totally pointless, the novel has what? 300 chapters? maybe not 1/3 but definitly 1/4 of the novel is only on the extremely boring life of the clones). The clones wouldn't really be that big of a problem but the author only publishes like 2/3 chapters a week so you can really feel those fillers. Still at the i somewhat like the novel even tought the clones are slowly grinding down my rating.
