One of my favs. Currently up to date at Chapter 551. Glad to see this novel made it here. I'll try and leave a semi-detailed review. Starts out slow and the MC doesn't feel strong, but then boom, MC gets really OP and the story just takes off. Don't abandon it, trust me it gets amazing. I also love the detailed explanations and the effort the author puts into makes everything sound plausible and logical. World-building is amazing. Initially it's very lacking but as more and more details are revealed, you start to see the scope of the world and understand the situation a lot better. Def wait before judging the world-building. Characters are amazing too. Have their own beliefs and personalities. You understand how different characters think and when the focus shifts to a different character, you instantly get an idea of how he's going to act. The villains are great too. Some are kinda one-dimensional but others(like *minor spoilers* a certain head of a family) are actually well-developed characters. MC feels strong but not totally OP and there's some really decent conflicts here. I absolutely adore how he uses his brain to solve everything. You can see his thought process and can foresee his plans and how he experiments with his ability and it makes him feel a lot more relatable. The reader can follow alongside his plans and ideas. Like, one minute you'll be like "what if he does this thing with that thing" and 2 paragraphs later, he realizes that too, and does that thing and it's so satisfying. Honestly there's not much more I can say. Theres very few cliches and deus ex machinas and it never gets boring except for a little bit at the start. Definitely give it a read. I binged it in 2 days and loved it. Don't get discouraged by the slow starting point of the MC. Stick with it and it'll be a really great read.

LIKEwhy are you glad to see it make it here? Almost anything that get taken from other sites dies in translation after it gets here. The dark King hasnt had any chapters in almost a year. A multitude of novels they start themselves dont even continue at a stable rate like other translation sites. Way of the Devil had a period where it was 1 chap a month then it got back to 1 a week and now is finally almost at what it used to be at 4 chaps a week. My main point Is Stuff Either comes here to Die or to Thrive, because alot of people are loyal to their translators they wont support it.
Though You did a very good job of describing The book. I agree with that. just dont agree with the "Glad to see this novel made it here".

I said it because it's more convenient for me to read all my novels in 1 place, and I also love QIs reading UI. I totally agree with you though. I remember the dark times of "Way of Devil", which is another one of my favs. I just hope this takes off here and gets a regular fixed update frequency and thrives. The update frequency on this hasn't been very fast over at GravityTales, where I read it, either, so I hope it takes off here.

I tried it but quickly felt like the description was inaccurate. If I'm remembering it right his Model Analysis System only shows stats right? Maybe you can go around saving the stats of everything you see but when I picture models I imagine sculptures and figurines and landscapes/buildings made miniature.
*spoiler* Yeah mostly it's all calculations and more combat-focused application of modelling. Once his ability levels up he starts making character models which is kinda interesting and there's an arc where he joins an architectural modelling company too.

Seriously ? This is just another xuanxua with another nane, and a full buch of bul**** explaination speudo-scientific for the "old-chiness-superpower-martial-art" I don't even whant to speak for the part in the "global worlwield exam college entrence" with ONLY CHINES NAME and the obvilously "best college in the world" be named in chiness, etc Honestly, even if i like to read it, i'm not blind enought to say it's not another novel full off chicken-blood created by some narowminded-chinese-is-the-best-off-the-wolrd like sooooo many other. And character amazing with personnality ? Please man, it's just the abitual bastard-cold-blooded murderur who think himself far abow other and in the rigth to kill everyone in is path because "the weak is the pray of the strong". Nothing new. And for a "smart" MC he do many stupid thing and all time go drunk of power each-time he go stronger ...
I'd take your comment more seriously if I didn't have to stop and translate every other word. Try to stop and check the spelling occasionally.

aaah, sorry but first english is not my home-langage, second when you are realy, realy upset or hight on feeling it's difficulte to re-read and be cool-head and all. So yeah, there are many words who are badly spelled, true. But said it's not understandable is a little too much ? Well, you think what you want. And i do the same. And by the way, i persist and said it again : this story is full of disgusting character (including the MC) and brimming of cheat plot, armor-plot-who-save-the-day, easy win whithout substance, disgusting way of thinking, and many other disturbing thing for me.

Spoiler alert* He will be able to copy origin abilities. It's a great read. This might be late but don't drop it, if you haven't and pick it back if you have
Just_Ed:I'm at chap 107 and I'm seriously considering dropping this one. That's why I need to know. Is Su Hao ever able to copy origin abilities and become truly powerful? I just need inspiration to keep reading this slow thing.
