    Every time I feel any sort of immersion in this novel, the author comes along and ruins it with lines like these.

    It was only when they entered that they realized that there was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire formed by tens of thousands of Chinese people.

    No different from those "Returning to the Mortal World" novels, just has a slight twist on it's premise. An almighty being decides to leave the cultivation world because of reasons? Space turbulence means that he's sent to a high-fantasy world instead, obviously having lost most of his godlike cultivation, but still having enough of it to curb-stomp any cannon fodder that dares stand in his way. There's nothing to write home about in terms of characterization. The MC was a god, so he's indifferent like a god. He deals with enemies like a god too, by provoking them and then leaving them alive so that they can run back to the next strongest enemy, and regroup to gang up on him in a never ending cycle of cannon fodder beat em ups that take more than 10 chapters to end. And I'm not joking about that, in the 20 chapters that WebNovel has graced us with, the first confrontation we see starts at chapter 7 and continues until chapter 19. There are other chapters in the middle that don't focus on the fighting but these actually take up the minority since there are whole chapters just retelling the fight that happened 2 chapters ago. None of the supporting cast are any good, we have Christina, a daughter from a major family who cannot absorb magic elements (read cultivate), whose mother has just passed and who is shunned and bullied by the whole family, including her own father. We're supposed to feel bad for her because she buys food for the poor or something. And the poor people are very grateful to her despite never doing anything for her. Which I take issue with since apparently it's uncommon for people to be unable to absorb the elements, surely, if she has helped so many people there has to have been one person that was talented and felt grateful enough to give her some sort of support??? But I digress. Then we have Christina's family which is just an amalgamation of every generic baddie you've ever seen in a cultivation novel. Plot lines are probably going to be the same thing over and over again. He transmigrated with his godlike artifacts but they didn't get transported in his spiritual sea or anything, they just got sent to the new world and they'll probably be guarded by the strongest forces of that world, to which he'll show up and swat away. You might enjoy this if you get a kick out of those immortal returning to Earth novels, but otherwise there are other novels worth your time.

    But Christina's father is also a third-tier mage, so how is the Nolan family a major family in the kingdom?

    They were at least third-tier mages.

    When the 4th ancestor and 5th ancestor* saw this scene. Honestly, who is doing the proofreading for this novel because this is awful.

    When the four ancestors and five ancestors saw this scene, their faces turned pale. They channeled all of their magic power and the golden bell rapidly expanded to protect the two of them.

    Glad that you took the follow up in this direction, but I'm hoping that we start to get some more interaction between our MC and the rest of the group

    Agreed, most readers were probably put off by the title
