I was around chapter 80 when i had enough so i write this. This story is another very good idea with avarage execution. The MC is supposedly a "Geared Immortal" and should have gadgets that he can use. IF you think that it will be the case you will be disappointed. He makes a few different kind of gadgets and then even loses most of them right after. What he did not loose, we do not really hear about anymore. AND he is not making anything for problematic situations or to escape.....the most grating thing is that he is supposed to be a genius yet he is not prepared for anything. He goes in head first and reacts to things as they come. He did not make anything unique during the first 80 chapters and im certain that this is how the author is trying to keep the MC from becoming op, but it does not matter because if he does not have a cool tool or weapon to use then plot armor comes and saves his ass! This way the story looses its uniqueness and could be classified as a general xianxia with some western elements with the typical "genius" MCs we are used to see plus a few wapons and very FEW explanations about how something works. So around ch80 he introduces phones....yes i know.....and it would have been okay if it was not the guise of a bull**** reason that tried to hide plot progression elements. His base that has a few hundred people supposedly needed money....so these geniuses decide to sell phones that got the attention of the emperor. And right after this was when i wrote the comment below: "Btw, do you know that they could have sold a miriad different things that are not that advanced?? Come on now! A radio would have been enough and for other revenue? It might be the immortal world but the cultural and tech level is still only medieval or worse............from paper and soap to better farming techniques and other things like printing, wine and liquors. Cola and sprite and other drinks AND FOODSTTUFF!! From hamburgers and pizzas to high quality dishes, they could have opened a restaurant chain where the guards are "only" mortals but strong as fck and get a lots of money that way!!!!! Im getting very disappointed with this story the more i read it because of the miriad unused chances and possibilities! This is another example of a story where the MC is described as a genius but only as far as the author can imagine it. And unfortunately that is not much!" So.....yeah....it could be executed MUCH better and i can only hope that the remaining chapters and content will get better! It was not thinked through when written that im sure of. Im only writing this to tell you guys to not have high expectations and just read it without expecting an epic novel where the MC is op. He is not, but not in a good way, its like he is forcefully kept from becoming op because of some bull**** reason by the author so he can progress the story. But this fckes up the immersion and the pace of the novel very much for me. I would still recommend this, and you should give it a try. Just dont expect something big, becuase you will be disappointed just like i was and always wait for something truly epic to happen. But no, it will not, at least for 80chapters. The rest....we will see.
