Okay so I started reading this based on the positive reviews. I just want to say that it started out okay but at chapter 41 the entire world basically wants to kill or capture the MC and he has to take some pills to mess up everything he has worked for and limit his power to only being able to be used for 1 hour. This is the most stupid plot I’ve ever had to read in my entire life. He has an OP system that lets him drastically reduce the amount of time needed to cultivate (literally stuff that takes a year can be mastered in 5 hours), and unlimited resources to cultivate from 2 masters but he is like “nope I gotta take these two pills before a war between all the kingdoms starts so they can capture me!” It’s so fking stupid. Don’t waste your time like I did. Had to drop at ch41.

First of all, thanks for the spoiler ... Secondly, it is a "hide so that those who want to capture you won't find you. you are too strong for your age, so take this pill which will help you hide your cultivation." scenario, which is a pretty common scenario, there is no need to make a fuss about it.

You’re welcome. It’s literally something that happens in the first 41 chapters in a novel with 200+. I don’t think it’s disingenuous to inform other people of such a horrid plot device that literally ruins a story at such an early stage. Honestly the situation is so beyond dumb that I can’t believe you kept writing past that point. I understand that you really are passionate about your story and I commend you for keeping it up for so long. It is truly difficult to write a story so honestly I applaud you. However, you are literally forcing the MC to lose what is left of his family and to literally destroy his body and make him only able to fight for 1 hour (what’s he going to have to do to fix such a horrible situation?) in such a circumstance. Also, you upped the scale of conflict to such an unreasonable level with neighboring kingdoms literally starting a war over a character that was literally a pick pocket 20 chapters prior. It’s only the 41st chapter and you wrote such a scene. I think that it’s fine having a local Lord maybe noticing something is more realistic but honestly why’d you write such a scenario that destroys any future fun by hiding the MC instead of just letting him be powerful? Why’d you have to get rid of his freaking family at the 41st chapter to go to some Bs sect we’d never heard about. All you’ve written is that sects are basically evil and yet here she’s being sent off. Honestly I’d rather people know what’s going on when something so drastic happens at the very beginning of a story that changes it for the worst. I would not have read those 41 chapters if I had known you’d write the plot in such a direction. I think you had a gem in your hands with this story but you ultimately crushed it with your own cliched viewpoint. You don’t have to agree with me and I know you won’t since it’s your story, but honestly this review needed to be made so others don’t waste their time like I did.

I'll tell you what is so flawed about your opinion. You are convinced that things in a story have to happen on a scale based on the character's power. He is at "1" stage, so whatever happens must only involve people with 1 or 2 stage!. That's true for most novels who use the plot to make the character scale up in power, but I prefer to use realism in my novel. When something never seen before happens, the various factions and nations (Which as explained have just come out of war and are not on good terms) will fight for it. That's why the main character was forced to leave and to hide his true abilities. This is your problem ... Your opinion is entirely based on the cliche plot of wuxia novels. I don't accept my "viewpoint" being called cliched by a person whose entire comprehension of web novels is based on "difficulty based on power scale." If that's not enough, you are the most conceited person I have ever received a review from. What makes you think that a detail that you haven't liked has turned a story which you have just barely scraped turn bad? You are an embarrassment for all reviewers, and your opinion is not only flawed, but dirtied by your the disgusting illusion that what you think is the universal standard of quality. I feel proud by the fact that my work was of no interest to someone with a cliched viewpoint like yours.

Lol goddamn like I said you’re so upset just because of one negative review because you used such a typical cliché. Yes, the story is bad because you ruined it at literally chapter 41. Maybe you shouldn’t get so butt hurt all because of 1 negative review. Good luck with that inflated ego of yours. It’s obvious that you think you can “do no wrong”. It’s not a masterpiece. It’s a pile of crap.

I have done many things wrong, and I am more than aware that my novel is not a masterpiece. It's my first attempt and I welcome criticism even in the form of negative reviews, but yours was not criticism.. it was whining. "I don't like this, so the novel is bad. I wanted it done like this." I have a right to defend my work from conceited and immature people like you.

I haven't read the story, just checking out reviews first before I do, but I would hardly call defending your work from someone blatantly attacking you immature. At least he or she was trying to be reasonable and explain their decision. Much better than your ****ty "lmao childish af" peanut gallery bull****.

everytime i see someone pointing out flaws in your writing, you immediately try to defend yourself like you are omniscient. you donot listen what the other person is trying to say. you discard everything the other person is saying and keep on emphasizing that what you think is always correct. this is what you call accepting others' criticism and reviews...lol... dont make a fool out of yourself... and you even have two or three people with you who in every hate/low star review try to defend you while trashing those commentors... it's all obviuos bro....

Personally insulting your readers over a bad review when they haven't done the same to you is not a good look for an author. They even made it clear that the negative review was about their problem with your book and not yourself as the author, but then you immediately lashed out and made it personal. Your book is your's to write as their opinion is their's to have. There's nothing wrong with defending your book and correcting any misunderstandings a reader may have had about a certain arc or situation. However, to publicly mock and insult someone who took the time out of their day to pick up and take a chance on a new author's book is an incredibly childish form of lashing out and is never okay, no matter how you attempt to dress it up or justify it. If the "shallow" review he wrote makes him an embarrassment to all readers, then that vile character attack you penned down in response makes you an embarrassment to all authors.

The story starts quite causaly, yet powerfully. Unlike most novels, Daniel the MC is not really chasing for power, he has to acquire it in order to keep his home safe, his home well, his friends close. Yet calamity after calamity happens /honestly if I didn't know I would think the author purposely causes those disasters./ Here comes someone insanely creative @SometimesItalk, just when you think he's done, comes the new arc, riding on a meteorite, ruptured by the Dragon king's tail, while fighting an ancient futuristic god, then zombies, lasers, something unimaginable, how does it even make sence. Eh, it does anyway. A few genres pretty well connected. The character development is really deep and well diffused throught the chapters, you feel like you know those people, there is not that boring moment of walls of text of description of a mustache, yet you know exactly how does it look like, why the character decided to develop a mustache, and guess that he uses the same care as your uncle Thomas. The world is real, lol it is, pretty much as the characters, not being avalanched by plain text, roughly explained making clear outlines of the scene. Just let your imagination work. You will either forget those little details or submerse in there. Honestly I got past the first chapter pretty hard. What is hard. Well it took me three whole days to read a single chapter. After that I read a few chapters and really liked it. Despite it was pretty causal, it had potential, he caused it and he used it. Till I caught up I couldn't keep reading. (ATTENTION : addictive!) The writing got much better, yet it had some gaps and flaws, sometimes misunderstanding, hell which novel here doesn't, it isn't a professional thing. The novel has the potential to reach the End and forth. @Webnovel itself should assign a good editor and eventually bring this story further. Well it's not close to done yet. (I hole so!) So let's not put the carriage in front of the hobbit. So in one word, again: Addictive, pretty well written with a lot of passion for the novel itself and the readers. Well this is the best thing here yet not many of the authors use the opportunity to communicate with the readers. Edit: It is not paid. 😅😂 For sure if you like novels like this, if you don't, if you don't care /surely I don't care cuz it doesn't matter/.. • • • • • • • • • • • • GIVE IT A TRY! • • • • • • • • • • • •

Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world—or else!" I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world. There, I became royalty—the lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days. Sounds like a dream, right? In reality, it was anything but—because I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.) The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a deadly task in a vicious world like this one. There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me. But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable! === For those who want to know more: This is a wholesome comedic story, but it has some dark moments. The focus is on kingdom building, survival as an empire, and interacting with MC’s beautiful bee wife and adorable bee daughters. The bees are all humanoid (see pictures) and human-sized. However, they are still bees in their ways of life and mentality. Although there’s a system, real growth comes from putting effort and time. Nothing happens in an instant in this story, unless it’s trouble. MC acts like an idiot sometimes (oftentimes), but he’s not actually stupid-stupid. When it comes to strategic decisions, he uses logic and reason. Even if you might disagree with it. Also, there will be no smut (ecchi is a fair game), incest, NTR, harem or BL. === Discord is up! Find it at -> https://linktr.ee/Garessta Updates: 2 chapters/day, right after the reset (with a 5% chance of running late). Reply to author's pinned review if you have questions. Also, although I realize the futility of this aim (at least right now), if this novel reaches top 15 golden ticket ranking (and stays there for a few days, obv), I will mass release 10 extra chapters! (within 30 calendar days)

Young Master's PoV: Woke Up As A Villain In A Game One Day

"Now you see?" she shouted in a mix of annoyance and disappointment. "You can't outsmart Scrients! They're the most intelligent beings across the two realms." "You're right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a heavy sigh. "I made a mistake. I was too arrogant to think that a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "Heik! Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I'm not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait, you can't. I killed them all.” ______ My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid, pointless scuffle, and in the middle of it, I tripped and hit my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in - the memories of another life, of a different world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First, I was in a game I used to play in my past life. Second, I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool and mysterious kind, either. No, my destiny was to be manipulated and die a dog's death! I was the worst type of cliché: an ungrateful, privileged, insufferable young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. The kind everyone hates — a snobby brat from a powerful noble family who thinks he owns the world just because he was born with a silver spoon lodged in his mouth. You know the type. The one the hero beats to a pulp to prove his worth. Yeah, I was that guy. And the hero? The hero was the kid I’d been bullying all this time. The same one I got into a fight with. He was the supposed savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And at the end of it all, the final antagonist of the game, the undefeatable boss… the Spirit King, was waiting. But could I even make it to the end? Could I conquer a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that was now my reality! “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could, but I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, twisting the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains before they could become threats - nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected? Who cares! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me—my survival, my life, my choices. “I will live this life with no regrets.” …But as I soon discovered, fate was not easily changed. And the price of altering one's destiny was steep. ========== Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VjFQtDUaTR
