    I'm giving it a high rating, because I like the fact that the protagonist is not the default cowardly Chinese template protagonist. Protagonist has balls, he's strong and doesn't feel the need to hide his abilities, which would have hindered his growth otherwise. Other readers are too used to spineless protagonists and have already started to think that being a coward and hiding your abilities is only natural. But no, in reality, it's not only stupid, but also boring to read about.

    I disagree. It would be better to have a commander level skeleton to take charge before creating more soldier types. Or to make it simpler, 1 Tier 3 to command the Tier 2. Not only that, it would be better for his personal safety to have a competent Tier 3 bodyguard than a bunch of stupid tier 2. Don't forget that the protagonist is a coward and a weakling. He will focus on his personal safety, regardless of how silly it is. Chinese protagonists are usually cowards after all.

    As with many other novels, the premise is good. But there are so many plotholes and contradictory statements. Like he thinks to himself that "It's fine if he knows, since he won't tell anyone" then proceeds to lie to his face. Ok, so clearly it wasn't fine? The system doesn't just give him feedback, but it also perfects his body. His body gets refined and his meridians widen etc. Basically the cultivation technique gets perfected. But later, we learn that he's actually holding back on advancing quickly, because he's worried about his "Foundation" being unstable. That came out of nowhere just to create an artificial limiter on the protagonists progress. There's also the beast cultivation. His beasts can advance by leaps and bounds and keep up with his cultivation just by receiving a few weeks worth of cultivation, but the protagonist needs hundreds of years of cultivation feedback to just be slightly ahead of his beasts. The biggest thing I have a problem with is that, unlike protagonists from other novels where they can fight above their own realm, this protagonist can only fight below his own realm. Even though he's a grandmaster at the point where I'm at, he still struggles to fight against those many levels below himself. And if it's someone at the same stage, he's certain that he'll lose and won't dare to fight. Heck, he even concocted a pill to save a heinous villain, because he was scared to fight someone weaker than him and stand up for himself... And that is with him having 3 divine beasts to fight along with him. So yeah, the protagonist grows fast, but he is undeniably quite underpowered and spineless. Another thing I hate is his blatant stupidity. If you hate protagonists with room temperature IQ, you won't like this MC. 9 out 10 fights, the MC will not even fight. Even if the enemies are so weak that he could kill them with a sneeze, he will still hide somewhere and let his pet beast slowly poison them to death. It's honestly boring how useless he is. At this point, I thought he would destroy the Shao family because he's already a lot stronger than them. But no, apparently he's not strong enough and needs to escape. They have like 1 grandmaster patriarch, while he is a team of 4 grandmasters, with 3 of them being divine beasts. Really, my guy? Really!? How fucking useless can you be. So yeah, those are some snippets of what to expect from this novel. Weak and brainless protagonist, who will bend over while bullied.

    It has a good premise, but like many other novels, it gets ruined by a badly designed protagonist. There are also many plot holes. For instance, Hunter's Mind, a passive that limits his emotions so he can remain calm. It stops working randomly, because the MC still start crying for no reason, scream out in shock or just generally overreact to any little thing. It should by default also negate the negative aspects of his bloodlust characteristic, but it doesn't work there either. Overall, that thing only works when the author feels like it should, which just makes it annoying. Protagonist is weak as hell. He's also stupidly paranoid for no reason. My guy really thinks that smartphones can be tracked by anyone at will, but non-smartphones can't be used for tracking. They track your phone through cell towers, my guy. In other words, if you make a call, you get tracked. Doesn't matter if you have a smart or dumb phone. And this MC considers himself intelligent... Features you would consider basic for a system requires a vast amount of resources to unlock, so aside from improving his stats, the system can't do anything else for him. Basically nothing in this novel makes sense. Everyone acts super freaking weird. Like what kind of sportswear store even has ex-military bouncers to keep people who look poor out? What is this, ancient china? If the protagonist wasn't so stupid, weak and paranoid, the novel might be more palatable...

    Oh, I'm very happy to hear that. I was about to drop it due to his spineless personality. He wants to live a peaceful life. The way to do that is to make sure nobody dares to mess with him. If he pretends to be a weak pushover, then everyone will mess with him. It's human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong. If you think pretending to be weak will let you live a peaceful life, you are dumb beyond belief.

    And why the hell would they poison him in the first place? People like you is why cowardly protagonists are so common in novels these days. How are you even a protagonist if you're scared of every potential risk? Might as well never leave your house and never amount to anything in life. I can't stand such spineless wimps.

    I hope you're joking when you imply that being patriotic is a sign of racism. How many American novels do you read where they praise China and vilify America? Oh, not a single one? But it's only racist if China does such a thing, right? It's fine if every other country does it. Yeah, there's racism alright. And it's coming from brainwashed losers like all of you.

    1. It's the other way around. OP to the point of actually making it an enjoyable read. If only he wasn't so cowardly and hiding his identity all the time... 2. Haven't encountered any up until now. But then again, I'm not a sensitive little bitch, so it's not something I really pay attention to. 3. Have also yet to encounter any sexism. But again, what you consider sexism... probably isn't. 4. Isn't that ironic. Sounds quite racist to me.

    Honestly, at first I thought this novel would be heading in an awesome direction. Dude basically has unlimited resources and even years of experience in the apocalypse. But just a few days in and he's pretty much clueless about everything. Every zombie is a new zombie and every event never seemed to have happened before, making his regression utterly pointless. His unlimited resources that could sustain an army are also pointless, because from just day 1, every other human in existence has lost their humanity, thereby making it impossible for the MC to find teammates. Normally finding a powerful shelter should be prio 1 for a regressor. Not for this MC. He lives in a brittle apartment complex or whatever. It's not until his place was easily smashed by a random zombie that he reluctantly went to find a safer place. As for strength, you'd think someone with years of experience fighting in the apocalypse would be very powerful and have full knowledge of how to deal with many zombies. Yeah, well, forget about it. MC has no knowledge about any type of zombie and his combat ability is so trash that every fight will be a life and death struggle. You might as well ignore levels and strength boosts, because they do absolutely nothing. You might also think that since the MC has spatial power and can literally cut space itself, he would be able to ignore defence. No, his spatial blades can easily be blocked by zombies. Just a few days in, the zombies are so ridiculously powerful that the protagonist has to hide away in fear. For every level the MC goes up, zombies will go up by 2, making it seem like he just gets weaker and weaker.

    Warning: I am someone who enjoys novels with strong protagonists, so this review will be based on that aspect. MC is too weak and his mentality is like that of a little bitch boy. Two system users have been introduced up to chapter 56, of which the second system was far more impressive than the MC's. That person could take and use any ability at will, while the MC can only temporarily borrow abilities and needs to switch between them. He can inverse the abilities, but if you expect him to make good use of that, you'll be disappointed. In pretty much every fight so far, his performance has been severely underwhelming. At first, you'd think after his 6 years of grinding and reaching level 85 with awesome stats, you'd think he was awesome, right? But no. He's around the same level as other random youths. Heck, when he ended up in a draw with that 1 super weakling who made use of slaves to fight, I was about the drop the novel right then and there. I imagined in the first round, he'd just go in and knock 3 people out in an instant and finish it first. But is that what our system MC did? No, he fought with 1 guy and then only barely managed to get the last place qualification through cheating. Another thing that irked me is that the MC considered himself as someone incredibly rational... and then proceeded to act as the most irrational village idiot I've ever seen. Anyway, I reached chapter 56 and I'm stopping here. If you enjoy a powerful MC that stomps the competition, then this novel is not for you. If you like an irrational MC that is overemotional, literally shakes in fear when facing enemies and is very scared of killing people, this novel is for you.

    While the novel isn't good and I don't really recommend it, I just want to point out that this reviewer is full of shit and speaks out of his ass. He certainly didn't forgive the guy right away. In fact, he cut him into pieces and "Killed" him several times. Because of his special ability, he is immortal, but in exchange, he can't kill others, so there was nothing either of them could do. You could also argue that he wasn't the one who killed her, but she died because of his mercenary group. So with that nonsense explained, I might as well mention another thing. Perhaps this reviewer thinks it's a great idea to have young characters speak like idiots. But if you think of the reader's point of view, you certainly wouldn't want to read toddler-speech for the first 20 chapters. Again, it's just the reviewer speaking without thinking again. MC's father was supposedly an awesome and famous person, but for some reason, he's not allowed to tell anyone. It has never been explained why, and it wasn't like he was trying to hide his identity in the first place, as it seems his family are the only white haired people on the continent. Nobody can guess they're related? Anyway, I went off on a tangent. His evil aunt stole their inheritance, so that's why they had nothing. Even their father's corpse was supposedly not found. I don't remember what the reviewer complained about anymore, but I'm sure he didn't understand that part either. Not sure if I missed anything, but basically nothing he said was correct.

    A lot of people think lying is perfectly normal and acceptable. But there are also many people who hate liars. If you aren't being honest with your loved ones, you are by default a selfish piece of shit, because lies are generally for your own convenience. I can understand most people on here not having any issue with protagonists lying all the time, because most people in the world are trash. I'm sure they find it normal and relatable if the MC is trash like them.

    It started out quite good, but it quickly turned into crap. Before, there was a focus on his own growth, but where I'm at now, he's fully ignoring his own growth and just wastes all of his resources on temporary benefits and random temporary subordinates. Like he spends a tremendous amount of fate energy to inherit the position of a good. First month cost him 300 million, next month cost him 1 billion. What did he gain in return from it? Nothing. He got temporary godly abilities that can be used on others. They sacrifice items to him that he just trades for more fate energy, that he then wastes on something useless. Essentially, he doesn't advance at all, but his temporary believers are advancing quickly and, are in fact, far more powerful than himself at this point. He's wasting insane resources to make other people stronger. If he used those resources on himself, he would have made so much progress. I'm dropping the novel here because I get so annoyed with his enormous resource waste just to play God for no reason.

    Honestly, I would enjoy this if it wasn't for the MC being absolute garbage in terms of personality. Despite being incredibly powerful, he's so scared of revealing it that he'll pretend to be scared and let good people around him die, just so he can avoid showing that he isn't useless. Can you even imagine? Some girl ran in to save people from a monster, MC pretended to be scared and just escaped while watching her get violated by the monster, while also demeaning her for having bigger balls than him. The MC is so much of a spineless little bitch that it clouds his judgement and he turns into a psychotic and paranoid coward. Honestly, this is the first time ever reading a novel where I hope the MC doesn't become the most powerful, because he doesn't deserve it. I hope his enemies win.

    Makes sense. Normally I wouldn't save skill points, because that would be stupid.But in this world, apparently skills don't get stronger from leveling up, so you might as well wait until you have enough points to reach the skill evolution threshold.

    He lied before too. He could've just said that he was adventuring and he wasn't heading in any specific direction. But instead he lied for no reason.Now, he could've just said he spent a lot of time hunting slimes in the forest, but he spent a great deal of effort making up a nonsense story for no reason, unnecessarily making him look super suspicious.Is there any particular reason you feel the need to make the protagonist a mythomaniac?Because of my mild autism, I have zero tolerance for lies. I can't stand liars. Especially those who lie for no reason or to their friends and family.If the author is going to keep doing this, I will have to drop this novel.

    His OP system is not OP. With his "OP" talent, he struggles in every battle and doesn't even reach top 10 in the global rankings. If he encountered anyone in the top 100 who was hostile, he'd be insta-killed. I haven't read far in, so it can be said that maybe his system has potential. But it's absolutely trash in the early stages compared to other people's. Like, some random guy in the top 10 is already taking over many settlements and conquering the place by himself, while our Protagonist is struggling to build a cabin and surviving the night. So yeah, if you're expecting an OP protagonist, based on the title and tags, you'll be disappointed. You'd even think that after being bullied, being a cold person and having a 1-man army system, he'd go the solo route. Unfortunately, since his system is trash, he needs other people's help in order to survive. But he seems very keen on grouping up for some unknown reason. Doesn't match his personality and past life experiences...

    It's slightly entertaining, but the author is quite uneducated about many of the things he talks about in the novel. For one, he doesn't know a single thing about computers, but he still had to write about hardware components. Can you even imagine how silly it would look if someone who knows absolutely nothing about computers tried to write details about building a computer? Well, you don't have to imagine it anymore. Author delivered. It physically hurt to read it. He also doesn't know anything about laws. In this novel, a gaming company can randomly create new laws at will and have the police arrest people for breaking those new laws. In conclusion, there are glaring issues due to the authors lack of googling and general life experience, but it's still somewhat entertaining to read. Mostly because I'm interested in the other aspects and seeing how things will change in the future. Author is given various combat skills and body strengthening elixirs, so it has potential.

    When he hid his talent and just accepted insults like he was enjoying it, I feared that he would be the cowardly type that hides his abilities. He'll probably hide his identity and face too, eventually, so he can pretend to be weak. Your review has confirmed my fears. It's a shame the protagonist is a spineless coward that enjoys being looked down on.
