    I can't believe this wasn't selected and no one has taken it to properly translate, the only available translation are from MTL websites, which are not so good since most of the translation is made by a bot and occasional human help, popular novels get some human polishing, but that's all, is not good enough and this series is worth the translation. it hurts this won't see the light until they make a low quality web comic of it.

    This LN has many strong points: - Well made world building. - Fascinating power system. - Thrilling and grounded plot. - Well designed and fleshed characters. - Properly excecuted plot twists. - Good use of major powers to change the tides of events instead of the commonly forced plot armor / Deus ex machina. in terms of LN quality, Lord kf the mysteries reach a high level thanks to the high degree of the argument and the creativity of the author to give form to the fantastical elements in a grim and thrilling context that combine the usual class sustem power with the cosmic horror genre, and the well written cheracters and the wau they develop in this fantastic world make it a great reading experience, I can blindly recommend this LN for anyone with decent standards. However!, it has some weak points as well that can't bee overlook: - Sometimes, the MC is cringe, you can really tell that there are a few moments that are way too cringe, and I don't like to use this word, but is the most appropriate to describe the feeling. - The author overuse some words or reference every once in a while during the length of am arc, take for example, since the chapter 1000+, he had been using "On the one gand [this]... On the other hand [that]....", and used it almost every two chapters, getting me really annoyed. and that's why, I give 5 starts to all score except writing quality, grammatical consistency is important for a proper immersion in lecture and poor writing will damage the quality of the work, regardless of the good quality of the content.

    Oh boy here we go. This nivel would deserve 4 stars if not for the bad grammar, although light novels are not measured with the same weight as full books publications, is still a big factor. The plot has its degree of originality, the secondary and antagonist characters are neither all smart and sly nor stupid and agraseve but instead they are a balanced combination of both, like in real life, there is not shortage of idiots that take actions based on instad gratification or pride, but there are also people that will think before acting and realize the benefits and dangers of situations, instead of throwing theur life loke idiots to the MC. MC is not bad, just that his apathic personality is not for everyone taste, he came to the current world when he was on a mission, he had a life and purpose back home and he wants to return, so he doesn't attach much to the people in his current world, he stopped giving a F. The world setting is quite original, yet a bit messy to understand, but I like that instead of a info dump of 5 paragraph describing the world, we get to understand it on information bits placed through the narrative, itbfeels more natural and makes sence, info dumping is something many LN and WN writers do, delivering block of info needs to be properly done or it will negatively impact your work. Finally, update stability is, well, could be better.

    Ok, I have read "I am actually a cultivator bigshot" all the current translated chapters and up to 520 from the raws. Where does the difference lies? 1: The MC is in a shop at the town in the bottom of a mountain where a sect is built. 2: Characters have a bit more of a personality and differ from each other. 3: The story is wrote with a larger word count, which mean slower pace, but higher income, this writer is seriously aiming for profit. 4: Just as mentioned, since the aim is profit, the plot mist be entertaining for the purpose, and it's. There is less comedy than the "Bigshot" novel, this one actually has a more action focused plot. Finally, is not a great novel, just like many LNs here, is just entertaining. and if you are here for some reading junk food, this one is an off-brand snack good enough as the first one, and still different enough for you to enjoy alongside it. since is still on trial, my updating stability review is based on the fact that translations usually have steady updates once released, key word "usually".

    Er Mu has return with a new work that reserves a good score, this slow perspective that give us starting from small and standing on the world background was a great introduction, similar to his previous work, we see a peculiar MC who is making use of his knowledge on science to make the best use of the power system of the world. This MC has a limited access to knowledge and what the info of the world is explained smoothly instead of info dumping us about the powers and monsters, in this world, pther than cultivators there are the called Mystics, they use a spell based power system to subdue creatures called demond, fiends amd gosths. There are a wide range of these creatures, and many demons are not maneating monster but smart animals that live their own way, but unfortunately the human greed and ignorance have no bounds, all creatures that can be labeled as different from human or animal are target of fear and discrimination, mystic kills and take the territories of these demons and force them to live in seclusion, but our MC, who comes from a world were the demons, who can take himan shape with animal traits, are part of the popular media, so his interactions with this race might be able to mark a difference, although is too early to know if he will be able to properly influence the council, whose power is great and their authority "unquestionable". overall a great work, needs to be polished over grammar though.

    If you like those overbearing MC that go steam rolling all the troubles in their way to become a immortal that can fly and crush mountains this isn't for you. This story follow a series of thrills and turns that never disappoint, fleshed out characters, a well designed world building, good poetry, great story telling, solid world building and quality writting. The main character, Fang Xian, don't try to solve his conflict head on, but with cunning and deceptive methods, he longs to enjoy his life to the fullest as to make up for his previous bedridden life, he wants to uncover the mysteries behin this world and find out more about his mother, who turns out to be more outstanding and unique that many believe. This plot is filled with political intrigue, romance, mortal leveled martial arts (wuxia) and a smart humor. overall, from all the novels in this website/app, this is one of the few gems I give a 5/5.

    A drum that rings? isn't that just a tambourine? Anyway, either the instrument translated as "drum" is something different or the "ring" was supposed to bu a "dum".

    This is mad by the same genius that wrote Reverend Insanity, if you haven't read RI, then you are missing a great time, the proper backstoriea, world building and above all, the flashed out antagonist and background characters that arent the average cold/no personality beauty, arrogant young master or aver bearing elder yada yada, but people with mind, motivation, personality, ability to adapt and think. if that author could make such an amazing work once, it can make it again, might not be the same as good or might even be better, who knows, give this book a chance however, and you'll find out.
