This novel becomes far more interesting if you deduce the MC has autism. Weak empathy response, minimal social awareness, and fixated on his routine. It just so happens his hyper fixation is cultivation. It’s kinda boring, there’s no real climax or arcs, just MC gets stronker and one shots his problems then does a stupid and hides away. But if you take it as the journal of an autistic cultivator it becomes mildly interesting. Considering it costs a fair bit of money though… I only recommend this to a very neich group of idiots.

You know what… I like it. This was never a slice of life novel, just following the life of this random smuck. Jumping to the good bits without 150 chapters of ultimately useless filler is quite refreashing. Hope you can stick the landing author

Unusually for a ‘revenge’ story, what you see on the cover is not what you get. After a certain point, the revenge plot is pretty much abandoned for a mystical political thing. Can’t say I was expecting it, but there’s only so much you can milk out of the original premise. Still, it gets very cluttered and struggles to balance all the plates it’s spinning. It would be fine if I could binge it, but the release schedule works against it. Old information becomes plot critical… but you haven’t thought about it in 3 months. So yah, not my cup of tea but it is a pretty good read. Maybe I’ll pick it up when/if it’s finished

It’s a plain power fantasy; Op system, self-concerted MC, and peanut gallery included. That’s not to say it’s bad, just a rather bland execution. If this is your preferred genre then treat it like a popcorn flick and hope the author dosent drag the plot on for 1000+ chapters of filler

Most of this is good, except our MC. He’s ruthless, but not in any fun way. He has no big ambition, no real long term goal save survival, and he is not a particularly smart or social cookie. Dependent on plot armor to get anything done. To be short, he’s obnoxious with no impulse control. Actively antagonistic even when it poses a threat to himself and taking incoherent risk with no thought (why test a blood crystal on himself when he can just force feed it to someone else). He’s not enough of an asshole to be memorable, just a dumb edgelord; and while that’s ok for a bit, it’s already wearing down my patience for him. Beyond that’s its a competently written, if generic, system-zombie novel. Not winning any awards and overpriced once you get to the paid stuff, but that’s the standard for this site.
