    Review by chapter 32. Finally, something unique done right. A solid story of a transmigrator who became a father and obtained a gold finger, however, he never cared more about his power, the focus of the story never deviated from his love for his daughter. The dude never thought of getting a harem or making as many babies to become stronger. His purpose in life is to be there for his daughter and protect her. The title lives up to expectations. Highly recommended. MC has a loving wife and lovely daughter. No nonsense about harem or main character aura, he's just a father who loves his wife and daughter. The gold finger is satisfactory, it has the potential to be OP, but it needs the MC to work for it. It basically just gives the MC an opportunity and a skill, and it's up to the MC to power up. Also, getting one skill per year is perfect, the story doesn't become saturated with a million skills and author forgets them, no, this story is about quality skills that last throughout the story. the pacing is nice and doesn't bore you. The only downside are the lack of interactions; we don't connect with MC, we don't feel affection for his daughter, the novel just says that she's lovable and cute, but we don't feel because there are no meaningful interactions. The same goes for all characters. Even the MC is hard to connect with. All interactions just feel like they have a purpose but no substance. Thats' the only downside for now in my opinion.

    Dropped by chapter 23. It's just boring. It doesn't have anything to hook you. Most of the writing feels like filler, Auther writes redundant thing that we don't need to know and the pace is slow when there's no need for it to be slow.

    I couldn't even finish the first chapter. What's with the flowery words and use of descriptive words? I couldn't even focus on what's happening, the words just make me cringe and the problem is that some of the paragraphs make no sense. Learn to be a writer instead of a poet and then continue writing.

    It's good at the start as it is laid back and relaxing, but it went downhill. The longer you read the worse it becomes.  It repeats the same tropes a million times. Nothing new gets added. MC gets to a point where he's invincible and proves his strength, but then a random villain comes and says he doesn't believe it, then MC proves his strength by killing him, but after a few days another one comes, and so on. That's basically this story. MC always saves the day and it's always in the same way. The story has no depth. To make the MC always invincible, the story has this cultivation ceiling and that the MC is the one pushing the ceiling higher and higher, so of course he's the most powerful.  Only the start was interesting and I was even invested emotionally with the characters  [spoiler] Such as emperor yuan and how you grow to respect his ideals and how he sacrifices a lot for his dream. It truly made me sad when he died [spoiler] There are no deep mysteries here, the novel tries to introduce questions that are interesting, but the author just drags it to however long he can, to the point that you no longer care now, you just know that MC will know and will solve them once he's powerful.  I want a laid-back story, but not one where it uses the same scenario a hundred times but with just the increase of strength as the difference. MC can sign in, he gets a ton of different skills and powers, he gets too much in fact that author just skips past them and forgets them. [spoiler] At one point, MC gained thousands of skills, and the narration said that now MC has increased his power hundredfold, but in all the next battles the MC never used any of them, author didn't even try to mend the situation by making the mc merge them all together, he just ignored them. [spoiler] And don't let me get started with his love life. It was a good build up and I was looking forward to it, but the author just ruined it. It's not even the main point of this novel, but since the author introduced it, he should at least make sure it's done reasonably.  [spoiler] When white cat was a cat, he basically took her with him everywhere, he cared for her and they depended on each other and were rarely separated, but once she's in human form and they fucked a bit, she just stays home and is rarely mentioned? he doesn't even take her with him anywhere, not even for trivial normal travels, the novel just assumes wife equals stays at home. [spoiler] [spoiler] And not even ten chapters later when he sees that other lady miss hong, she's giving him signs and teases him and all that. At the start of the novel he had an indifferent impression of her and called her selfish, then later on they did help each other, but there was nothing between them, they didn't even meet each other more than 4 or 5 times, and it was all business, but now suddenly after he got his first girl, now he has to make a harem with the next one? I thought he just wanted to stay with first girlie forever for god's sake. [spoiler] I didn't read further as I'm dropping this novel, but I know that it went downhill now. It can't be saved anymore.

    Nothing new, no original content. Everything is just the same old concept, direction, development and all that. You can pass time with it, but it's just a waste of time.

    Overrated. The story is a basic female lead transmigration story into ancient times. She's black bellied, gets teased by main lead and stays quiet and seething. Basic story of a girl who uses her medical skills to treat people and uses her modern knowledge to get the upper hand. Ugh so unoriginal. I'd rather have super bully as a female lead rather than this half-baked nonsense.

    I stalled by chapter 275. I loved the story and MC, but the fillers just make it unbearable. So we have an in-depth story into a guy vampire (or at least what seems like it), and this guy is not braindead, he's smart and grounded to reality, he looks into the scientific way (making hypothesis, testing, getting clues... etc). MC is levelheaded. The side characters are interesting, though still within the limits of Chinese novels style (praising MC, going wow, or other things). Development and pace is where it's problematic. The story has a main development (which is being a vampire and how he goes through it) and then we have the side developments which I would call fillers. Main development is good, but side fillers slowly start taking over the majority of the story. by Chapter 200 it got increasingly dull. It became a story about a talented dude and his friends singing his praises. The pace is slow, but that's alright with how MC goes through the gritty details of each blood drinking cycle, it's actually good since that's what hooked me. But now that slow pace is being used on filler side stories that aren't adding anything to the main development. I would say it's a slice of life type of story now.

    A solid read, but incredibly annoying. Word padding is just purposely insulting at this point. This novel did almost everything right when it comes to it's premise. An immortal doing cultivation just not to be killed or die due to stupid reasons. MC has a whole concept and philosophy of life based on that. Anyway, characters are done nicely, MC is beyond perfect for what the premise says (he's the definition of caution), the world building is a continuous process. The development and where the story is going is interesting. I can say almost everything is as it should be. HOWEVER, THE WORD PADDING!!! I don't know how this novel even was approved and published and translated to English. The word padding and repeating is so annoying. Pick any random chapter, and you'll see the same idea repeated a dozen times. Author says progress of the novel is slow and developments take their time, but it's actually just a lot of useless unnecessary expanding and repeating the same exact thing a million times. If you ignore all the word padding and repeats, then the development is actually decent and even fast. The word padding made it just awful. I haven't read something that does worse word padding than this in a long time.

    Nice, An MC with immortality needs time skips in the story. I came across novels before where we had an immortal MC but normal pacing, it felt agonizingly slow.

    I read 90 Chapter by now. The story can only be described as cliche and unoriginal. It's the epitome of "Japanese anime protagonist" interactions. MC has the same personality as a standard anime protagonist (positive, tries to be funny, tries to be caring, hopeless romantic but no action) A lot of moments have these cringy and anime standards. It's what you'd expect from a weeb (who's not Japanese) that would write based on what he sees from anime and not experience, the interactions are vomit inducing. Author keeps contradicting his points through his ceaseless yapping. There's also the problem of nonstop yapping by author. Author keeps giving reasons for thing that don't need reasons, and he writes in length about these stupid reasons. The story is all over the place because of this yapping. I can just read the first few words of each paragraph and that's enough to understand the whole chapter. ---------------- The only thing good about this story is that it's fun. But what's the point if I have to skip through most of the chapter? What a drag of a novel.
