I finished the raws (I kidnapped the timeline) through MTL. I think the MTL is pretty decent and not too hard to read. The total amount is about 800 chapters, it's finished. I don't know why some people are hating on it and calling the MC stupid. I actually liked the MC and I liked seeing everything he goes through and the progress he makes throughout each timeline. It's been a while since I've enjoyed a novel so much. I found it moving, and I cried multiple times throughout. Especially one arc, somewhere around chapters 600, where it follows multiple characters throughout the progress of Dawn City. Each character made me cry to follow their struggles and their thoughts and ideals for the future as they try to do their best for future generations. There are definitely some slower arcs that I didn't have as much interest in, but overall I highly recommend this. It was so moving to watch these humans struggling to survive, and stepping up to become heroes. "There is always someone who wants to stand up, why can't that person be me?"
Yeah, but I love these kinds of premises haha, plus this looks to be a western fantasy setting instead of the cultivation setting. At the very least I want to know the raw name as well.
no should be she. Did madam cai take anyone into consideration (looking down on people) when they (her and her husband/the brother of the MC) were deeply in love
In this case, it's likely that their parents are cousins. Usually in english cousin once removed will probably usually refer to the kid of your cousin (at least that's how I've normally seen it used), but in chinese, that's a niece/nephew relationship. Taking into account that he has a "brother" relationship with his cousin once removed it means they are in the same generation (same generation family members refer to each other as brother/sister), which means it's likely their parents are cousins.
Well then that's your answer why she has to go to the kitchen for water. Cuz not every place has drinkable tap water and even then not everyone actually will drink tap water. Especially china, god, I never trust china's tap water. I always drink bottled water when I'm in china.
I never drink tap water. That's so gross??
It's king if he was king of a kingdom under the empire. but usually if it's titled "wang" it's better to use prince as distinction, more so if he is a member of the royal family such as son of the emperor or a member that was titled by the emperor due to meritorious acts or whatnot. some translations use king but imo prince is better.
This is a review up to chapter 30 of the novel. Once again, I protest the decrease in chapters. But it seems like 5 chapters have released since yesterday, so idk if they plan on slowly releasing up to forty chapters? Anyways, like others have mentioned, this is in fact a similar premise to I'm Really a Cultivation Bigshot. I've read that novel up to 560+ in MTL and enjoyed it decently enough. I personally really like these type of novels, so I don't actually mind that they are similar. So far I'm enjoying this one and hope it gets released on MTL so I can continue reading. I do think that although they are similar, there are some points of difference that exist that make this one worth reading still. I like that he has a shop, for one. And in fact, so far, I think this one is slightly better written. I already like the MC in this one more than in Cultivation Bigshot to be honest. But well, that could also be a matter of personal preference. Anyways, who knows which one was written first, so instead of people giving low reviews and just claiming it's a copy, how about giving it a try without all that bias? I hope this gets selected for trial read.
painting and calligraphy cultivate temperament. a regular painting/calligraphy scroll might not be important in the cultivation world, but the MC doesn't know that his aren't ordinary.
I almost forgot, the novel is mildly racist too. Trash planet people are black (according to the novel, as a result of the planet radiation tho). There is a lot of mentioning how ugly it is because of their dark skin. Although this is definitely how Chinese think (pale = prettier) and in general how asian countries are and I never thought much of it before, it still sounds really racist with how much they mention it in the novel, especially when trash planet locals are straight up black people.
