Honest score : 2/5 Tl;dr MC is the biggest cowatd in the entire galaxy. World was good, characters were good, story was somewhar going somwhere but right when we focus back on MC inside the civilization everything becomes meaningless. Honestly the start was boring then it got good when I read some character development specially on MC side where he was supposedly becoming more of a veteran and bloodthirsty as he could awaken his memories; however after that, after the fight in the wood where he finally acted more like a man fighting against a wolf that almost got his arm; I had kept on reading further but it is just so damn bleak. The MC turns back to the biggest coward on planet Earth you’ll ever see, even after a spike up on his cultivation after a war expedition around chapter 200s~ where at one point he mentioned he won’t hide anymore because supposedly he’s become OP; during an interuniversity tornament you notice he has not changed one damn bit. Somehow he can have good fights when it is against monster and all then when it is against students he only knows how to hide, doesn’t have his supposedly veteran aura anymore that he has against beast. To be clear at this point I cannot be sure anymore if it is whether he is just truly that big of a wuss or he is going back on his words about not needing to hide his strenght because he also needs ressources. I am starting to understand this less and less as I read on because somehow the character develpment he had just gets nullified, at least that is how it feels to me as he awaken more and more of his veteran memories and skills, not only he seems to be weaker but more importantly incomparably timid. And it was clearly mentioned in the story at one point, the city and its organizations are seeking continuously promising youth to nurture and there isn’t even a clear explanation on why he has to hide his strenght as such while many others are just so open about it. It’s often read in the novel’s words how of a hero not afraid of pain he is but this MC is just a damn coward that cannot fight like omg I’m running out of words on clearly how embarassing it is when you have just read how awesome he is against some beasts in the forests then once back in the civilization he gets thrashed by some random university youth because supposedly he isn’t using the fighting style he prefers, which is to hide, like when did he had to when it was against the beasts though ?? And also how is he somehow able to promote the ultimate style while doing as he does ? For some reason you read spectators comment about how good what he did was, I mean thank god for these comments because without them I truly would have been able to comprehend in what way what he did was different than how others did or that it was meaningful in any way and of course the system counting it as a win (successful promotion) is beyond me. I am only so angry because the world building was good, the characters were good too but the MC himself is such a massive pain that I would have prefered to read the life of any secondary character in this novel; the novel wasn’t ruined by anything else but the protagonist itself, it makes me so angry. Translation quality, update stability 5 stars Story development 2 stars Character design 1 star World background 4 stars Overall 3.4

COMMEyeah for me too I don't understand the "cowardness" part. mc character is acceptable but the problem is that is later parts (300+) it literally became teaching material where 99% essays and 1% plot development.

I agree with this review, but only if you replace the word coward with humble. This MC is so ridiculously humble it can feel downright disgusting. I was a fan for quite awhile read a few hundred chapters and had to give up. Everything seems to be getting better, hes influencing the world, helping strengthen humans, everything I like. But every single thing is him acting humble, or pretending to be a sheep. It has honestly taken all the novels enjoyment from me.
