Lots and lots of fake 5 star positive reviews at chapter 0 ... and yet i can't stand the protagonist. The MC is a coward. The dialog is cringe-worthy and unrealistic. The rest of the characters are total idiots including the "magic academy" staff that fall for very bad acting. I couldn't go on. If it was something printed it would end up in the garbage at chapter 4. There are a few fatty protagonists out there that are really likable. Ever read Chaotic Lightning Cultivation? Too bad that was dropped. :( If you disagree with this review please provide some arguments. Does it get better after a few chapters?

LIKE-"The MC is a coward" Where? -"Dialogue is cringe worthy" Subjective view. And, it's not in China. And I seriously don't see how it's cringe-worthy here, at least for me, but your opinion. Diversity I guess. -"The rest of the characters are total idiots including the "magic academy" staff that fall for very bad acting" Err.....no it wasn't. When you put clueless students in a virtual environement, you tend to believe their acting is true there. Because they don't know it's fake. And one noticed that btw, and he even purposely tested the MC on that. MC got busted btw. -"There are a few fatty protagonists out there that are really likable" Wang Baole is one of them yeah ;-). Seriously, if you don't like him for his (non-existent) cowardness and his uniqueness, it's a shame. Maybe you're more at ease with the sterotypical "this daddy picks every beauty and give 0 f*cks about the Heavens" :( -"Does it get better after a few chapters? " Depends on what you mean by that, because as you saw above no problem was there in the 1st place. I have some suspicions you actually skimmed, or went there with a bias.......hmm. Because all this stuff I put here was the obvious kind. That or you just don't like him. Tastes eh XD. Oh well, too bad. Have a nice day brother :) ( ofc no offense. Because this is a reply to a review, it may seem cold and offensive, but I didn't mean that)
He is not unique, he is the cliche fat MC of Chinese Novel's. And I really can't stand his reasoning about becoming stronger / having more influence. And the logic why he's fat was so forced that I did not even read further, and of course he'll have an strong bloodline because of his fatness

-"cliche fat MC of Chinese Novel" give me one Xianxia novel other than the Chaotic Lightning one where it has a Fat MC. Cliche? how? Heck, the fact he's fat is in ITSELF a cliche-breaker, since fat charas are usually the sidekicks for MCs in CNs. And so by your logic almost every *Xianxia* CN novel MC is a bureaucrat in the making, can read people's intentions and cares more about position than being strong? Unless you only read one Xianxia in your life, which happened to have a fat MC, then called it "cliche".... -"And I really can't stand his reasoning about becoming stronger / having more influence." And what's wrong about his reasoning? At least he has a reason, unlike 99% MCs out there. And for someone in his time and age, it's quite the reasonable reasoning. Maybe you'd be more satisfied if his reasoning was "to get all the girls" or something? He strives for high positions. Just like some dream to be doctors, others dream to be superheroes, others dream of being Hokage, he wants high positions. Dreams that are btw generally built on childhood experience, which kinda happened to him : bullying, among others. -"And the logic why he's fat was so forced that I did not even read further, and of course he'll have an strong bloodline because of his fatness " It's a premise dammit. Maybe it may seem "forced" to you, but it's like that. Just like in real life, some people get fat waaay more easily because they have a slow thyroid. And this is a **CHINESE NOVEL**. He got a bloodline that makes him fat. Where's the op here lmao Sigh. Anyway, have a nice day :)
SPOILER ALERT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "I live and die as part of Ethereal Dao College!" (if you don't find this cringe worthy then you must be Chinese....) This sentence effused bravery and loyalty. He was the kind of student that every faculty in the Dao College yearned for; therefore, how could they concede him to the others? (only a complete moron would take the above sentence seriously since the mc has no connection to the "Ethereal Dao College". I don't care what happens after that.Him getting caught later doesn't change this) Wang Baole is the ABSOLUTE DIAMETRIC OPPOSITE of Wang Lin. I read Renegade Immortal up to chapter 1100 or something and Wang Lin is one of the best MC's out there. One is intelligently calculative and coldblooded. The other is a moronic showoff that is destined to get caught(and is caught according to you). I have not read anything past chapter 4... couldn't go on... This novel is an attempt to cater to a certain audience. You know, the one that consumes the average trashy Chinese novels writing 5 star reviews no matter the content.
-"I live and die as part of Ethereal Dao College!" (if you don't find this cringe worthy then you must be Chinese....) Bruh. It's an ACT for a REASON. A frigging **ACT**. That is by no mean cringe-worthy by Xianxia and Chinese standards by the way. And I'm not chinese. And, your later "arguments" don't make sense. They were a *new batch of students*, meaning they were already technically part of the College. His acting here showed his loyalty and his sense of belonging, one of the MOST IMPORTANT QUALITIES anywhere. -"Wang Baole is the ABSOLUTE DIAMETRIC OPPOSITE of Wang Lin. I read Renegade Immortal up to chapter 1100 or something and Wang Lin is one of the best MC's out there." WB is intelligent, but in z different way. And, Renegade Immortal is my favorite Xianxia by the way, but if you call that sentence "cringy", then you should've normally died of cringe in Renegade Immortal XD. Since sentences like are common in Renegade Immortal. In a profound way. Which is kinda confusing here, you find that cringe when it' sobviously an act but don't find it cringe in Ri when it's definitely not an act. I agree Ancestor Wang is intelligent and all. But a "moronic showoff"?? Are we reading the same stuff int he first place? The showing off of the MC is a *proof of his intelligence*. He was **Smart Enough** to deduce from *small clues* that this is a virtual test, deduced the intentions of the teachers, and managed to fool them for long enough to top it of. And even Wang Lin wasn't that smart since chapter 1 dammit. So he's not a *moronic showoff*, but a *wily smart showoff* if you want. And the showoff part was voluntary, and a part of his act. -"This novel is an attempt to cater to a certain audience. You know, the one that consumes the average trashy Chinese novels writing 5 star reviews no matter the content." You know, just becayse you didn't get what happened at all dosen't mean it's trash dammit. This is the 2nd reply now, I think you should've understood by now. -"This novel is an attempt to cater to a certain audience. " All Xianxias cater to a certain audience anyway. And this one is for Er Gen readers, and more for those who enjoyed A Will Eternal too i guess. And bro, just when I was happy to meet another Renegade Immortal fan, you just happened to bash Er Gen? Did you seriously imply that Er Gen, the writer of Renegade Immortal, the one who made the Ancestor Wang you like, is the author of "average trashy Chinese novels"??? Wow. And this is by no means and "average trashy Xianxia". Do you know what the average trashy ones are? They are those that have the MC being a waste young master, have no Dao Comprehension, suddenly becoming OP super fast, metting Peerless beauties one after another, slapping young masters left and right, and massacring clans when they offend him. That's the average one. Did you see any of that here? MC is fat, that's already breaking a cliche. MC is a wily young fox, another cliche broken. MC actually knows how to suck up and judge peopel, another cliche broken. MC has a comedic premise, here you go another cliche broken. MC dosen't even spare women, another cliche broken. MC dosen't meet peerless beauties left and right, another cliche broken. MC dosen't even fall for these beauties, cliche broken. Cultivation happens in the future but they're not hidden or stuff like this, plain for everyone to see : another cliche broken. Etc etc. Please, I'd thought you'd know Er Gen better since you're a fellow Renegade Immortal reader. I'd thought I finally met a brother...sigh. If it's not up to your tastes, you don't like comedy or stuff like this, ok, just don't call it trash. For exemple I don't like mecha, dosen't mean all novels with that genre are trash. Have a nice day brother :) P.S : sorry was pissed before opening my inbox, and then I read nonsensical reasons, especially from an Ri brother so I got kinda angry. I hope you don't mind. Btw, you should catch up soo
"His acting here showed his loyalty and his sense of belonging" ? in day 0? Really When did Wang Lin utter anything like "I live and die as part of Ethereal Dao College!"? If any character in Renegade Immortal uses pompous bs like that it's always an act that is totally transparent to almost anyone in that novel. Nobody would really fall for it in Suzaku or the rest of the world. Everyone looks for number one in that novel.It's just normal. Wang Baole isn't intelligent or brave in any way. He is just a politician like the ones he idolizes. All he does is being fake and sucking up. If you want to read about a wannabe politician then this is for you. **Smart Enough** to deduce from *small clues*? like that freaking plot armor mask artifact that only he can see? Really? Bashing Er Gen? Who cares about Er Gen or Mu gen or fu ling tian. It's all author to me. if a novel is good it is good. The author's name means nothing.
Well yea. In Day 0. Yes. Which is why the teachers were excited in the 1st place, and the physician was skeptical. It can also happen in real life, if you're accepted in a presitigious school like Harvard or Oxford, you can already feel a strong sense of belonging by pride. Which could be shown here. -"When did Wang Lin utter anything like "I live and die as part of Ethereal Dao College!"? If any character in Renegade Immortal uses pompous bs like that it's always an act that is totally transparent to almost anyone in that novel" I was talking about the CRINGE, not the reason or the choice of sentences. You were talking about it being cringe, and only chinese persons not finding it that way. And I told you : lol no look at Renegade Immortal. I was talking about the style of that sentence, not the sentence itself. -"Wang Baole isn't intelligent or brave in any way. He is just a politician like the ones he idolizes. All he does is being fake and sucking up. If you want to read about a wannabe politician then this is for you. " What he's doing is literally one of the key methods to thrive in an environement. Him being a politician or not has nothing to do with that. And the fact of being fake ITSELF is a ruse. And what's wrong with a wannabe politician, I guess you just don't like that. -"**Smart Enough** to deduce from *small clues*? like that freaking plot armor mask artifact that only he can see? Really?" And the fact he lost weight too. Yes. (ok, not really that small, but still clues. And at least I got arguments to show he's smart, while you got no arguments to show the opposite= -"Bashing Er Gen? Who cares about Er Gen or Mu gen or fu ling tian. It's all author to me. If a novel is good it is good. The author's name means nothing. " Fair enough. At least we can agree on this XD. I just meant that by saying that you're automatically putting Renegade Immortal under the "average Xianxia trash", and also proven AWWP isn't what one could call Xianxia trash. As for the rest, suit yourself my brother. And I like this reply of yours better. This one is kinda more objective than the other one, were it wall all subjective.
