Xiao Rong is a new character. It sounds similar to Zuo Xiao Rou (also called Lady Xiao Rou, or just Xiao Rou), who was Qin Hai's fiance. It's *not* Xie Zhongtong, the person we previously saw with seduction powers.

What happened with the blind kid he adopted? He only ever mentions Gu Yin anymore.

Excuse me, didn't you tell me you were coming back to finish this story? In November? It's December now...

What happened to "The world seems..."? Deleted?

It does make sense, but it may be counter-intuitive. He needs 1440 total minutes. He's already getting 100:1 in Azure, so 14.4 relative minutes. Even if he spent 0 time in Azure, the moment he teleports, he only needs 1.44 relative minutes (remember when he spent a short time in the fake hall of the gods, but a whole day had passed in Azure? There's less relative time there).

This is a solid 3/5 story. It has nothing amazing and unique that isn't in other stories. Likewise the terrible things in it are things that appear in Chinese novels too frequently. It's both too long and not long enough. Towards the end, it's just endless chapters of battles. And then it just ends abruptly. The pacing is a mess. There are WILD shifts in tone throughout, as if this were several related novels forced together. Despite being a supposed "System" novel, the author didn't seem to want it to have a System at all, so that moves further and further into the background over time. There are some satisfying face-slapping incidents, if that's your thing. However, almost all of them could have been avoided entirely if the MC made better choices, which takes some of the satisfaction out of the sails. In the end, a middle of the road, solid 3 out of 5. Not the best, not the worst, just meh.

Are you ever going to finish it?

What is that ' doing there?

�� ? Bad encoding?

"Brief though the shock of absorbing the Hungerer's bloodline had been brief"... That's one too many `brief`s.

The pace is too slow to start charging here. 133 chapters in, and he hasn't even become a first-level apprentice yet?

He lost the dragon meat at that time, but went hunting after he got back (remember the bears?). He has natural-essence-heavy meat _right now_ in his possession.

Why didn't he _start_ with some of the natural-essence-heavy meat he has in his ring, rather than use up one of the precious few pills? Just to make sure his idea was sound?
