First off please DONT BELIEVE the people giving this novel horrible reviews for the below reasons. The number one complaint I've been seeing is that this mc is a *****, horny, and greedy idiot who constantly get schemed against. I can garintee you that either a.) The only read the beginning, or b.) They skimmed through the later chapters without any kind of in depth reading. The mc in this novel does begin the story as a spoiled, *****, and sheltered kid who doesn't understand how the world works. He gets tricked, kidnapped, enslaved and damn neer killed within a short period of time. Throughout this he whines and complains like any other normal kid would under the circumstances. He lusts after woman and is to ***** to prevent anyone from scheming against him. He isn't like your normal reincarnated/ transmigrated mc who remains calm, cool, and collected in all situations while having trump cards and backup plans. No, instead we get to see this annoying little brat grow and mature through trial after trial that gradually shapes him into a strong, competent, and intelligent young man. He still has his short comings, as it isn't like he learns all the mysteries of the world immediately, but he learns from his mistakes and grows as a very young cultivator. If there was a flaw to point out it would be in his greed for food and resources, however, I see it as more of a funny personality quirk that is similar (but not quite as bad) to the mc from novels like Overgeared and Legendary Moonlight Sculpter at their later stages. It never gets to out hand but is included for some comic relief here and there. I don't know about you but I'm tired of the stereotypical, scheming, all knowing and over powered protagonists that never seems to experience any growth of change in their character. This mc starts out very unpolished but gradually changes overtime due to the people he meets and situations he is unwilling thrust into. He is even presented with several deeper moral dilemmas that go beyond the typical "kill all my enemies" creed that most mc follow. No matter how he changes, however, he stays determined to never lose that part of him that was a warm and kind child. Another complaint is his power not being more than only consuming stuff and supplying him energy. Like being able to inherit memories of whatever he consumed. This is really a non issue because this author places allot of attention on the MC's growth in maturity and in his knowledge/awareness of the outside world. If he could inherit memories the mc would automatically know everything and would run contrary to the authors intentions of the MC's growth and discovery of the mysterious world he lives in. His cheat is powerful enough as it is. If it was any more op he would really on it to much, especially in the earlier parts of the novel. So does this novel have it's problems? Yes it does. Sometimes stuff seems happens out of no where and the battle scenes could use some work. The typical unavoidable tropes that accompany the genre are also present. There are a number of things to complain about but nothing so big that it takes away from ones overall enjoyment of the novel. I especially like how the author mixes Eastern and Western cultures, myths and religious figures into the story by way of multiple universes. Not to mention a great love interest that is unexpected but endearing (granted, it is annoying he does need to save her later but she's still a great character). This is a suprisingly good novel, however, I realise that it's not for everyone. It can be polarizing due to the nature of the mc but if you can get past the that it can be a great read.

I like the points you made and also the very readable style. Although, a point of legitimate criticism is how fast he goes from weak to strong. I like the novel, but after the chapters where he is enslaved, he instantly becomes a super powerhouse and proceeds to enter that part of cultivation novels usually saved for the end. Perhaps waiting might have been a better idea, or spreading his progression over time some more.
