I'm glad you've enjoyed this series so far. I hope you continue to do so as well. There will be many more chapters in the future. And as of now, I have all the chapters ready for next month. And after that... Many more comedic moments await.

No, I do my best to make those kinds of things, Not Happen. Even going as far as to remove some of them from the main series.

This is one of the contention points I built into the series. I wanted there to be a reason why my character was b-lining hard for that Knowledge Sea

I'm not sure how far you reached, but I did not intend on making him feel like that. Only a few aspects of his life are "controlled", these things are easily noticeable due to the nature of them. However, all of them are things I imagine a Pillar Disciple being put through. Think of it like the MC is a step above in importance to even a core disciple. As such he is given massive authority over certain things, with a trade off of course. In either case though, Lei Jin, becomes a true leader and back bone to the human race. Not so much controlled, as he is now burdened with massive responsibilities.

Yang Kai is the MC of the original series "Martial Peak". And my character is the son created out of numerous chances coming together all at once. (I wanted the scene with Yang Kai and Su Yan all the way back towards the beginning of the Original Series, to finally come to fruition. It was the scene during the inheritance war arc where Su Yan mentioned the ginseng felt like a child to her. And then Yang Kai said "Do you want a child") I have had quite a lot of fun writing this fan fiction far more than the other ones I've written.

Thank you for sticking with me each and every chapter!

This is actually not an OC, but rather an Original name instead. She was briefly introduced by Elder Hong at the table just before discussing with Yang Kai about the divvying up of talent from Star Boundary.

No, because this is an OC.

Thanks for taking time to write a review. However, while I do appreciate feedback, it would be nice if I could tell that the commenter had read the synopsis of the book they are reviewing. Perhaps it was missed? Ignored? Or something else, I don't know. But: "Follow Lei Jin's story as he grows into a great man. " This clearly states that the story will follow Lei Jin. As he literally fixes all the problems within the series. I don't know how far you read into the series. But I sincerely hope you read far enough to warrant a review while also not far enough to realize that the story doesn't just interact with OC's ALL the time. My Series was originally meant as a method to convey ideas about fixing plot holes and adding lore that was sorely lacking within the main series. While also saving Yang Kai some BS. He already had enough of it as it is. So I took the creative liberty to give him what he should have had ever since the Inheritance war arc. A child with the woman he loves. Perhaps this story wasn't for you. And that is okay. It's a shame, but... It's alright. Not everyone is going to like the same stuff. But, don't go telling others what they read fanfiction for. Not everyone reads it for the same reasons. And not everyone writes it for the same reasons. Hopefully, you find something you enjoy.

The word "sanity" is used in an uncommon way here. I used it to explain the difference between un-inked and inked. Then there is also the intensity of breaking through to the 9th rank directly. I figured having tethers to keep one focused in the toughest of times would be quite nice.

Then you're gonna love what happens... OP done right is when the OP Character is truly, OP. I make sure that this happens... And I do take creative liberties with the series as there are several things that should have been adjusted from the Original Series anyway.

I made it so that the 9th rank elements are known about. And do exist. They are just extremely rare. On top of that, only those who have the ability to refine them even have the ability to sense their location. With only one entity being an exception to this rule.

He gets much stronger than that, through a different method.

I used the name "Smiles" here because it was easier. Also I fail to see the problem. If there is a nameless girl, always smiling, That nickname would very quickly be assigned anyways. Aside from this, everything can be explained away as part of the plan between the two Old Ancestors that set their meting in motion in the first place. Furthermore, everyone who would read this, knows the character as Smiles, anyways.

Much appreciated!

they kinda go hand in hand. men are taught to be domineering and strong. women are taught to find the most capable man that woos them. a strong companion to keep them safe. there are, of course, outliers to this, but... this is the general rule of thumb for the upbringing in a martial world.

I loved writing this moment.

Original Name is meant to be a meme

Where you're at, definitely YK. Though it changes in time. With explanations and reasons why.
