The thing is, I don't even mind reincarnated face-slapping MCs. But this is just done too poorly.

It's not just that it's the same cliches, it's also done way worse, no consistency, dumb characters, MC is a moron and completely reckless and in critical situations always just wins/survives due to luck e.g. being saved by some random person or lucky enlightenment or circumstances instead of MC's clever plan or something. Other novels with the same cliches and dumb enemies at least have interesting characters and genuinely smart MCs or actually interesting fights.

Forgot to add, ofc also extreme amounts of filler like background characters constantly commenting the exact same "no way he can do that, now he's dead" five times between every move.

The MC is completely moronic and reckless. He constantly runs head first into extremely dangerous situations or obvious traps from his enemies. You'd think he'd have a plan like some great pill or overpowered abilities but most of the time he just barely survives by luck because some random person saves him or he has some miraculous enlightenment or something. Since he doesn't have any ultimate safe guard like the Black Tower from Alchemy Emperor, it just makes no sense that he's not dead yet. The cultivation levels are also all over the place. Ofc we're used to MC's jumping levels but here it's just completely ridiculous and inconsistent. Sometimes he barely defeats somebody a few minor levels higher and then a few chapters later he can fight against somebody 2 major realms higher??? And ofc the distribution of levels makes no sense either, at first some realm is supposed to be amazing and then suddenly people a realm above are everywhere in roughly the same area. Otherwise also nothing interesting, just full of cliches e.g. the classic Yin Meridians that mean some girl can't cultivate until the MC comes along and ofc moronic enemies that somehow openly don't care about MC's status as a core disciple of the sect (supposed to be above the academy elders of his enemies), Alchemist Master, or his protection by the dean who's words are supposed to be the law. And the main female companion so far is also completely insufferable. The author tries to paint her as just being a tsundere that's secretly nice but she's just crazy and useless while constantly creating problems, constantly getting mad at the MC and attacking him while he's helping her extreme amounts.

Well, it's certainly still a lot better than unedited MTLs. Depending on the novel MTLs can actually be quite ok but this is definitely not one of those. The MTLs for this are much much worse. Although I guess they might still be more accurate if you manage to get over the horrible grammar. But it's still pretty incredible that this managed to get on Qidian. Hopefully nobody actually pays for this.

"He thought Heaven's Equal had underestimated the Changshen Sect and the Fey God Sect." I'm pretty sure that should be "overestimated" looking at the RAWs.
