If you have never read a typical Chinese trashy story, this novel might be an eye opener for you. The world background is poor. The characters are one dimensional. Girls are non existent, just pretty trophies that are bound to fall for the MC. Warning about Sexist content. Young masters and their stupid clans will antagonize the MC for lame reasons only to get humiliated and destroyed. The plots are not well planed, instead they revolve around the same bad guy archetype that appear out of nowhere, ask to be slapped in the face then disappear while the MC is depicted as bad-ass. Since this story seems to be built with crafting and game element in mind, you would expect something from it. No. The MC is OP from the start without real need for items to boost his strength so if he ever craft some OP items, it will just go from Easy difficulty setting to super easy. Worse, the ingredients, i mean the super rare type/impossible to find, are now appearing out of thin air in front of the MC. To sum it up, in just 22 chapters this story has already laid solid foundation for a totally garbage story that have no real goal but to use the same boring setting again and again. And, of course, the MC personality is garbage as well but described as super cool by the author. He is a complete moron that never stop to think but is described as a genius. The illusion might work because all the bad guy are dumb to the extreme. The game system part is fake, this is just another typical piece of junk that Chinese seems to love.

LIKEIt's not intended to be racist. For example, i like coiling dragon who has better story telling, world building, etc... But it's a fact that there is a certain type of culture of creating cheap webnovel based only on moronic psycho MC enjoying to trample any foes that come to him with child like mentality of "you want some? i will kill all of you bastards, yes, i dare". those type of webnovel is especially common with Chinese authors. Don't get it wrong, i do not say "chinese are trash". i do say there exist a typical type of cheaply written story that chinese enjoy. look "against the gods", "king of gods" and other stories, they are big success yet the story is poor in many aspects with s-xist content against women. Am i racist for telling that those novels do exist and are success? in the same way i could have said "i dislike Korean trashy MMOrpg" where monsters are lined up in spawning spots and you have just to kill them and they pop fast and there is not just one spawning spot but many so that every player can choose his spot and enjoy grinding . MMOrpg that are just grinding, grinding, then grinding, grinding, grinding. South Korean loved those grinding stuff while i thought that was going too far and made the world unrealistic and poor. I don't say Korean are crazy in the head, it's just that they enjoy something that is poor in term of game experience and story telling. Fine, i'm glad if they enjoy it.

This is a very good review. To the point and accurate. The mc is an idiot who only sees himself and has no ability to plan at all. Plot armor is in constant effect otherwise he would have died several times in the first 5 chapters alone. The story is unimaginative, the characters are horribly written and the opponents are even worse. It's just an utter piece of crap for a novel
