    Insanely great story. This is the only cultivation novel I've ever read that I've actually still been interested in past chapter 1000. At that point, I continue reading simply because I've invested too much time into it to stop, but I feel like this story is genuinely great. It doesn't have many of the cliches that other stories have, and the premise is unique, with him already being in the highest world. I found the choice to go into multiple different worlds genius. Each one was practically its own novel. The lower world was a western fantasy, the middle world was a... power fantasy? I don't really know how to describe it since it was kind of in the middle between the transitions from the lower world to the higher. The higher world was highly influenced by eastern fantasy, and finally, the highest world is all types of fantasy combined. The heavens, and the world itself being against him was also great, and made it unique from other novels. I do still find it kind of strange that Joyce and her master 'just so happened' to meet Gravis in an obscure part of the outer continent when he didn't have any karmic luck, wouldn't heaven just softly influence them to go somewhere else? Then again, that's a pretty minor problem and doesn't have a big influence on the whole story (well it kinda does but also not really). Did not expect Gravis to literally split himself in two, but it makes a lot of sense writing-wise. It allows readers who liked the old ruthless Gravis to get what they want while the current readers who are happy with the current Gravis are also satisfied. The identity of the highest heaven surprised me, but at the same time, it also didn't. I knew that such an interesting character wouldn't just be wasted by making him into a middle heaven. The higher heaven was also refreshing. It was nice to see a heaven who didn't want to kill him. I do think that, at the later parts of the story, cultivation (as in actually increasing his realm), becomes quite boring. absorb a few stones, and BOOOOMMMM! You're now way stronger. Cultivation realms have become quite boring, there isn't anything really unique to it. You're just... stronger. Nothing else. There was a real difference between realms in the lower world, you could feel exactly HOW an energy gathering realm cultivator was superior to a body tempering one. In comparison, the difference between an Immortal and an Immortal King is... practically nothing. You just get more powerful, nothing else changes. Even the will aura doesn't change, in fact, it has never gone through a great change (not counting the laws) since Gravis unlocked a Unity Will, until it became a Star God. Star God is 6 realms above Unity. That's 6 realms where Will-Aura doesn't have any significant changes. Without laws, Will-Aura might've become the most boring part of his cultivation. Glad that things are finally changing though, since the next realms seem to be actually unique and much more interesting.

    Uh, author... 360 degree turn means you turn back to the exact same position. I mean, I get what you're trying to do here but that's not how angles work.

    Guess the procrastination monster did get me. I took a pretty long hiatus, but I'll be returning to this work and hopefully be writing chapters daily again.

    Hello! Shameless self reviewer here! This is my first novel and I appreciate all of your viewer's support! I'm really glad that there are people out there that are taking time out of their days to read my novel. I try my best to make it as good as possible, but it may seem boring at times and there may be plotholes. Don't be afraid to criticize me, feel free to tell me what sucks about the novel. I've read a lot of cultivation novels, and I would always point out the problems in them and say 'I could do it better!' so I decided, why not? It's pretty hard to write novels. Even though I can point out stuff that irks me about other's novels, I find myself incorporating the same cliches into my novels. I kinda get why all cultivation novels seem similar. I'll still try to keep it as original as possible, though. Let's hope the procrastination monster doesn't get me.

    "the sun seemed like a huge fireball" no shit, sherlock. that's exactly what it is.

    The azure sky seemed like a gigantic blue emerald, the midsummer sun seemed like a huge fireball, hung on the top of this huge emerald. Using the sun's position, one could estimate it was around 3 PM.
