    Maiden of the Splitting Moon is a story about Ming Yue, a girl who had her entire village slaughtered by bandits. She became a cultivator afterwards with her divine-tier sword. All in all, a fairly generic story as far as this niche goes. Young girl has village slaughtered by bandits, becomes wandering cultivator, acts cold to other people. In most cases, said girl would also be ruthless, but not in this one. Writing quality is decent. There isn't any obvious mistakes that I can tell, but it isn't anything special either. (4/5 stars) Story development is pretty meh. It's really generic all things considered. Pretty much all encounters are very predictable, and go exactly how you expect them to go. This story brings nothing unique to the already over-saturated genre. Character design is where I'm most annoyed at. This could be considered a problem with both story development and character design, so I'll put it here. The sheer amount of times someone attacks the main character with intent to kill her and she does nothing except threaten them is staggering. This problem hasn't resolved itself even at chapter 100+, and it is super annoying. Aside from that, side characters are really bland. I don't think there is a single distinctive side character in this novel. (2/5 stars) World background is very generic as well. I've seen all of it before. However, as far as other cultivation novels on this site goes it's somewhat in-depth. The only problem is that this world seems very tiny. Three cities, a few villages. What are the odds of constantly meeting the same person over and over again in various places? (3/5 stars) Overall, the story is rather bland, I've read similar stories with a FL like this, and most of them tend to do it better. Compared to the average cultivation story, this is better. I give this story 3.4 stars out of 5.

    Now, I was genuinely intrigued upon reading the start of the novel. The main character was very interesting, and the world had a lot of potential. However, I feel like the author barely did anything with any of that. Enter Me! The Skillionaire Says In Parentheses is a story about a girl whos name I can't remember. A hyper-intelligent barely-sane experimental subject. Using her absurd prowess, she is able to very quickly rise in power in hopes to dominate the world. Writing quality is really good. There is a LOT of references in this novel, along with a fair bit of poetry. Far above average for this site. (5/5 stars) Story development is the first major flaw. While the story direction is interesting, it feels like the author creates a new plot point/direction with a lot of potential then doesn't do anything with it. This story has gone a little everywhere and has done next to nothing with any of it. Because of this, the story simultaneously comes off as extremely chaotic and extremely boring. (2/5 stars) Character design is decent. Above-average. The main character is definitely unique. The side characters are pretty good, but it doesn't feel like theres a whole lot of focus on some of them. (4/5 stars) World background. From the content alone, it's worthy of five stars. However the way they introduce is it is extremely annoying. It is a perpetually increasing stream of info-dumping. I find myself almost falling asleep listening to some random character ramble on about some obscure information that I doubt will be relevant. The author introduces too much information too fast. (3/5 stars) Overall, a novel good for it's world-building depth and writing quality, but not much else. Everything else can be described as passable but the story gets rather boring, especially later on. Parts of the novel feel like the author forgot the plot and focused exclusively on world-background. I give this novel 3.8 stars out of 5.

    Astral Apostle is a story about Zhou Jing, someone who suddenly awakened the Astral Apostle System. Using this system, he can travel to different worlds to learn their powers. So, this novel is really bad all things considered. It has all the tropes you don't want in a Chinese action novel. Translation quality is decent. Not a whole lot to say about it. (4/5 stars) Story development is a obligatory 1 star. The plot is somewhat decent, but this pacing is awful. There are so many chapters in this novel that are just so obviously made to fill in word count. This novel has so few chapters that actually contains a decent amount of information. The fights in this novel are awful as well, as you always have to listen to the peanut gallery's take on every single action the main character takes. It screams low effort. (1/5 stars) Character design isn't great as well. So, there is very little going on in the real life portion of the novel, so I can't really say theres any depth to a single characters. There is a inherent block in character development when the main character goes to another world, as the main character is essentially lying to everyone he meets. No female lead yet. Most characters in real life so far seem like shitty people or just foils in general. (1/5 stars) World background is meh. Comparatively better than the previous two categories, but it's kind of dull. We have super sci-fi world (the one the main character resides in) that doesn't really seem all that sci-fi-like. The other world is kinda meh as well. Nothing too negative nothing too positive. (3/5 stars) Overall, it had a decent premise, but thats it. Everything else was just as uninspired as every other Chinese system novel. It's very clear that this was a word-count novel, and the author's attention went exclusively on increasing it. I give this novel 2.8 stars out of 5.

    I can't be asked to write a in-depth review, because the author clearly couldn't be asked to make a decent novel. Perhaps too harsh, but I cannot stand this novel. The fact that the author compared this novel to Stay At Home Dad's Restaurant in Another World is rather insulting to be honest. Main character, genius businessman. He made a 5 billion dollar business from nothing in the modern world in five years, before he transmigrates to a cultivation world. Alright, scratch that, author completely forgot about this. Main character has less intelligence than a 7 year old. He doesn't understand the very basics of business. He wouldn't even be able to get a Janitor job in the non-existent 5 billion dollar tech company, let alone own it. Spoilers, by the way. 1. Main character sells rare (relative) cultivation manual, for extremely cheap, whilst in rags and having no reputation. Understandably, he fails. 2. Appraiser says his goods are fake. Main character tries to show that they aren't real, but letting someone read said manual, but very randomly switches and tries to escape. (Completely random, would've worked too.) He ends up paying 5 gold coins and losing 50 gold coins worth of profit. 3. Main character decides he should dress up as a fake immortal and give the very same cultivation manual that was called fake to someone, and this, understandably, does not go well either. Overall, this is a terrible novel. I might've been interested if the main character had a IQ higher than 30, but clearly I was expecting too much.

    Goddess Helps me Simulate Cultivation is a story about someone, their name doesn't really matter considering the main character is irrelevant in this story. He unlocks a system that allows him to simulate another life in a simulated world and unlock rewards. However, he has bad luck so he never gets anything. So he forces someone else to do the slave labor for him, giving the other user small rewards while he gets the big ones. So, before anyone reads the premise and thinks "that sounds interesting", be warned, this is not a good novel. That premise was chosen so the author could raise the word count super easily. This novel is complete garbage. Translation quality is decent, nothing to be astounded by, but pretty good all things considered. (4/5 stars) Story development is terrible. First off, I wrote this review when there was around 120 chapters. If you wanted to, you could probably condense it to 30 chapters or less if you removed all the redundant text and useless information. It reads like a satire writing making fun of redundant writing/novels that focus too much on word count. It takes tens of chapters for a single point to come across, simply because we have three people who all have identical POVs/people discussing already known information. Aside from that, nothing is interesting about the story development. Not in the simulated world, and the real world is nigh-irrelevant. (1/5 stars) Character design is equally terrible. The main character simply doesn't need to exist. You could arguably written a better novel just by focusing more on the side characters and removing the main character entirely. I can't really say that the side characters have much of a personality, considering very little focus was put on them, and they aren't really interesting to begin with. (1/5 stars) World background is non-existent. Focusing on the real world first, all we know is that demonic cultivators exist, sects exist, itinerate cultivators exist, demon beasts, and a royal family. Not a whole lot that is interesting happened. Mostly face slapping weak mobs. As for the simulated world? It's just plain uninteresting. (1/5 stars) Overall, this novel is exceedingly awful. Nothing is really interesting about this novel aside from it's premise. You will find yourself not caring about anything really, mostly because of the sheer amount of redundancy in this novel.

    I Have a Cheat System in the Apocalypse is a story about Felix, who has a system (I think), trying to do something? Admittedly, chapter six isn't a good point to give a objective review on a novel, however the first six chapters are so bad I cannot continue reading this. First off, the writing quality. This whole novel reads like you were hit by a truck and are now attempting to recall what happened while under anesthesia. Nothing at all makes sense in this novel. The first six chapters are so badly written that you will only be able to pick up some very superficial information. Mutants are being hunted by humans. Mutants have a school. The main character *might* have a system. That's really all I gleaned. (1/5 stars) Moving onto story development. It's awful. This might have to do with the way this story was written, but very little makes sense. I was planning on giving a general rundown of the first six chapters but I can't be asked to make sense of that convoluted mess. Anywho, the pacing is absolutely insane, main character is randomly thrown into combat multiple times, each reason he starts combat is increasingly more stupid than the last. After the main character nearly gets assassinated, but narrowly wins, a intelligent gorilla attacks them. The main character saves his assassin (thats right), and kills the gorilla. Promptly following, he falls over and dies. After this, we are suddenly thrown into a MMORPG, because why not. I could continue rambling on about various inconsistencies and plot holes that are in the first six chapters, but all you need to know is that almost every single character, idea, place, setting, that is introduced doesn't make sense. (1/5 stars) Character design. I don't really know all that much, main character has a weird obsession with money, has a close friend, that's about it. Characters are also convoluted and the main character seems like he has some form of autism, so I'm just going to default this to two stars. (2/5 stars) World background is a mess. So, from what vague inferences I can make, this is a apocalyptic world, where humanity is being attacked by various mutant beasts. So, in spite of this, the government decides to hunt down and kill humans with abilities? Anyway, school the main character has a super-powerful mutant in charge, but all it takes to pressure him is a mech and like ten police officers. Well, author only spent about five chapters in the real world before the main character dies and goes into a MMORPG world, so whatever. (1/5 stars) Overall, this is a very bad novel, but in a new way. I haven't seen as many novels that are as convoluted as this. Writing quality is very bad, and causes a lot of confusion right off the bat. The story development and world background don't help this either, making reading this even more confusing. I would recommend the author to use a story board and plan ahead, and at the very least fixing the abhorrent pacing issues. I give this novel 2.0 stars out of 5.

    Professor Kal is a story about Kal, a lich who hid his phylactery in another plane, granting him pseudo-immortality and a lot of power. He decides to explore the world since he hasn't left his cave for over two millennia. Mildly interesting story, however the execution left much to be desired. Writing quality is below average, there's a lot of awkward writing, small mistakes, and some of the dialogue is very cringy and unrealistic. (3/5 stars) Story development is quite bad. It's a typical overpowered protagonist story, where the main character is a teacher. The concept is somewhat decent, but the execution was quite poor. There are constant POV shifts to people I don't really care about. We have fights with said irrelevant people that makes the whole thing even more boring, especially when the main character is basically God. While a lot of stories have annoying POV shifts that completely ruin the flow, and makes me skip a lot of chapters, this novel is especially bad. Instead of separating the POV shifts and making them small, the author will release them in batches, so there's 2 - 5 chapters straight of different POVs. I find myself skipping several chapters at a time. (2/5 stars) Character design is meh. While the main character is comedic, and the dialogue is rather interesting, everything is bland. Every single one of these characters have very bland and cliché motivations. It is very hard to get invested into any of these characters. It feels like you are watching a play when you've already memorized the script. (2/5 stars) World background. It's rather bad to be honest. Theres very little information about spells and alchemy, aside from "use mana to make spell" or "combine ingredients until you get a cool colored potion", considering theres a fair bit of that in this novel, it's rather annoying. Aside from that, the author has very little world building in general, and almost exclusively uses exposition dumps in other POVs. (2/5 stars) Overall, a somewhat interesting concept for a novel but sub-par execution. Characters are bland, writing quality leaves you wanting, story development leaves you more annoyed the further you get into the novel, and world background is quite bland as well. I give this novel 2.8 stars out of 5.

    I Transmigrated as a Prison Guard and Suppressed the Princess is a story about Xiao Ran, someone who became a prison guard and got a cheat that allows him to get various rewards for imprisoning/executing criminals. I can't really say this novel is any good to be honest. It's another one of those novels with a weird synopsis that doesn't really tell you anything, the clickbait form of novels. Translation quality is meh. It's fairly decent compared to some other novels but it isn't that great overall. (4/5 stars) Story development is awful. So, we immediately are thrown into the middle of the story to prevent readers from forming any sort of attachment to the main character. The author only throws us some vague monologues about how the main character transmigrated/got his system. Now, this is basically a typical overpowered main character cultivation novel. He constantly fights super-weak enemies that he can easily one shot, yet somehow this takes multiple chapters. He gets so many rewards it's ridiculous. Aside from that, the main character imprisons the princess. She cultivated a evil technique and will occasionally flare up with evil symptoms. The only way to stop this (apparently) is for the main character to continuously punch her in the face. The first time it happened, it was somewhat amusing. Second time it happened I'm already bored. The fifth time it happened I realized the author was literally just copy and pasting what happened previously. A lot of people will say "author copy and pastes" to show how repetitious the plot is, but the author in this novel literally copy and pastes the same situation over and over again. Furthermore, no one questions why several plots to break into the prison and break someone out mysteriously fail. Not the prison, nor the people on the outside. Everyone just thinks they slipped and died or something. Anyway, super boring, bland, etc. (1/5 stars) Character design isn't great either. Main character is absolutely emotionless. The author pulled out every stop in order to prevent people from forming any sort of attachment with the main character. Aside from that, every character follows typical cultivation plot. An IQ of 60 is considered top-tier genius level where you are basically omniscient. Average IQ is about 10. Theres no character in this novel that is likeable, every character is as bland as the last. Theres nothing to keep you hooked either. (2/5 stars) World background is questionable. We have the land the main character is in, known for not letting any criminal escape from the prison. In forty chapters, theres already been MANY prison escapes that would've happened without the main character. Evil runs rampant in the land so much I wonder how the kingdom even functions. Aside from that, why even have a prison? This is a cultivation world where if the prison failed, there are now hundreds of powerful evil cultivators running rampant with a grudge towards your land. Just kill them. There is no merit to having a prison in the first place. (2/5 stars) Overall, zero thought was put into this novel. It's a mindless overpowered main character cultivation novel. Characters are bland and boring, story makes no sense, and world background is filled with a ridiculous amount of holes. I give this novel 2.8 stars out of 5.

    My Online Girlfriend is the Nine Heaven Divine Phoenix is a story about Lu Ping, a transmigrator with a system that required him to teach at a official school. Unfortunately, due to his poor practical results he failed every time. His girlfriend manages to get him into a school in the end. Alrighty, I was contemplating not giving this trash novel a review. There was absolutely no effort put into this novel. This is a romance novel at it's focus, but the main character's girlfriend is one of the most annoying characters I've ever read. You know, you can tell when a author is new and their writing skills are poor, but this is just taking the low-hanging fruit. Translation quality is quite bad. It's very common for words to be missing, sometimes it seems like half the sentence is gone. (2/5 stars) Story development is awful as well. The author clearly didn't think any of this through, and it shows. The main focus is the romance between the main character and his online girlfriend. The girlfriend hides her identity and becomes a supervisor at the school the main character is at. The author forces readers to sit through some of the most unbearable dialogue and showcases just how annoying she can be. Aside from that, the main character's system and teaching seems like it's put on the backburner. I found myself skipping through every paragraph where the main character's girlfriend is even mentioned. It's straight up just garbage filler. Not to mention this, the entirety the novel is basically just annoying drama. They will spend 3+ chapters over something inconsequential then mention it again after a few chapters again. (1/5 stars) Character design is abysmal. The author really has a penchant for creating super annoying characters. Any character that isn't immediately annoying isn't relevant to the plot. Main character's girlfriend is so annoying I cannot stand it. What kind of unbearable bitch do you have to be to disguise yourself as someone else and manipulate your boyfriend's mother? Jesus christ. Would make my day if when the main character's girlfriend reveals her identity they break up. (1/5 stars, would give 0 if I could) World background is pretty bad overall. Many things in this novel don't make a lot of sense, and the technological level of the world is all over the place. Not to mention there isn't a whole lot of information in the first place. (2/5 stars) Overall, this is just a extremely annoying novel to read. Author has a quite a good ability to make every single character as annoying as possible. World background had zero thought put into it, and the story development is abysmal. I don't recommend anyone reading this trash. I give this novel 2.2 out of 5 stars.

    Dimensional Descent is a story about Leonel Morals and him trying to become as strong as possible as his world starts evolving to the next dimension. Originally, I gave this novel a better score, maybe it's just because I'm burnt out, but looking back on the novel it really isn't as good as I previously stated. Writing quality is great, there isn't many mistakes if you aren't specifically looking for them. (5/5 stars) Story development is where I'm most conflicted. You see, I really can't call it bad when I've read to nearly a thousand chapters. However, I feel like I just walked a thousand steps only to realize theres an innumerable amount of steps more. I have read to chapter one thousand, only to realize the story has gone a little everywhere, while at the same time nowhere. The only difference from the start of the novel and now is that the main character is stronger, and has more connections. It is chapter 1000, and there is still no direction for the novel. The main character has fought so many different organizations, strong enemies, etc, but looking back on it they were all pointless as it feels like none of this helped the main character's non-existent goal. How many more chapters will it take for the story to gain direction? I'm kind of tired of reading about so many "unique" characters only for all of them to be later deemed irrelevant. Aside from all this, I've long lost track of how people "progress". The main character has already done five hundred different ways to get stronger, and they all feel super exaggerated until the main character fights someone. Listen, even if you constantly say "it's a miracle for someone like the main character to fight x." I don't buy it. The main character has such a ridiculously overpowered ability that I feel is super underplayed and overplayed at the same time. His ability does everything, just not that well compared to something else. This story is the definition of the phrase "Jack of all Trades, Master of None." (2/5 stars) As for character design, I can't give an honest answer at this point. All the characters are logical, and do actions that make sense of their character. This might be due to the story rather than the characters, but theres nothing unpredictable about these characters. In one thousand chapters there is not a single character that has surprised me with their actions. Rather disappointing. Aside from that, the main character has such ridiculously slow character development it's stupid. The main character has had a "lot" of character development if you want to play with semantics, but absolutely nothing has changed. His character is the exact same, except he thinks a bit differently on a few things. It's annoying. These characters aren't substantial at all, they all feel hollow with the outline of logic. Also, I will never understand the relationship between Aina and Leonel, it feels like it changes every chapter. Aside from the first portion of the novel, it's basically just Leonel chasing after Aina constantly, and Aina constantly leaving to do something else whilst saying shes in love with Leonel. It's annoying. This is still happening at chapter 1000, and I feel like this whole relationship is too tedious to make sense. (2/5 stars) World background is a mess. They have introduced so many things and none of them conflict with each other. It feels like a world with no standard, no rules. It genuinely feels like the author is just making things up as they go along. This is doubly so for the power scaling/development, theres so many ways to progress, the "best" path for the main character changes whenever the author feels like he didn't praise the main character's overwhelming might enough. Politics are a mess to be honest. I never really understood half of what the author was ranting about. This is a world of dimensions, where the higher the dimensions the stronger the people and planets are. According to the author, a 4th dimensional existence is a god to a 3rd dimensional existence. In theory. The problem with this is it's basically irrelevant the entire story as the main character fights so many people stronger than him it's ridiculous. Aside from that, world background has the same problem that lies with character design and story development. There is a LOT of world background, but nothing really substantial. It feels like they are just padding it out instead of making sure the base is solid. (2/5 stars) Overall, this is a fairly good story superficially. Once you dig deeper you'll realize theres nothing really there, and it gets hard to read. Don't get me wrong, the characters are great, and the fights are thrilling. However I almost immediately got burnt out realizing it was chapter 1000 and realized the story basically hadn't progressed from stage 1. The author is great at writing, but the author made the story go in the wrong direction. I give this novel 3.2 stars out of 5.
