One of the best novels.The MC is smart, cold, rutheless, and acts according to his own benefits.Usually, I get bored with many chapters in many top novels like botds, but that did not happen here. Every chapter was interesting and engaging. The pacing is great too.Ranking of the great novels IMO,1. Reverend Insanity2. Tainted Will & The Rooh of Greed3. Ascension Of The Unholy Immortal4. BIB, BOTDS (Could have been better)P.s. Read the author's other book too, its The Rooh Of Greed - A very great novel so far.My only issue is, The author not completing his / her two above mentioned novels. I could see them surpassing 1000 chapters respectively.
While I know it is too early to judge, I had dropped a comment of what I think about your new book on chapter 4 (The latest chapter as of writing).I will write a review of it after 20 or so chapters.This book had a lot of potential imo. So why not reboot the book with focus on mc and without filler stuff?
The first chapter of RI as an example. His sect was massacred by the combined force of righteous cultivators to snatch his treasure and was cornered with no way of escaping that situation alive. So he had no choice but to gamble with his life, because even if he did not use the Spring autumn cicada he would have died either way. This made complete sense. The first chapter of your book would have made more sense if he and his clan were massacred by a Rank-6. Or if his clan and another clan were at war for a Rank-6 inheritance. Or if he massacred many people and used their gu to form a new Rank-6 gu and because of this he and his clan was massacred by the righteous cultivators to snatch his treasure or something else.
I am referring to the back story of the protagonist, in the first half of the first chapter. 1) The protagonist, who calculates pros and cons, would not choose to massacre his clan, which is a Rank-5 clan, for a brief moment of feeling 'freedom'. Even more so, when that said person knew that he would die. The risk was just not worth it. 2) The protagonist had numerous choices with his Rank-5 cultivation base. But in the first half of the chapter, the protagonist acted like a bratty middle-aged person who would let the adrenaline get to their head. The protagonist you have portrayed from the latter half of the first chapter would have never done this.
