I'm not sure why people are falsely giving this good ratings than it actually deserves, are their standards so low? I read 50chap which are free before deciding to stop wasting my time with this. Chapters have so many errors, inconsistencies, grammar, spellings which breaks your immersion, even with readers pointing them out in paragraph comments Author didn't feel the need to fix it, shows much he cares about it. Author sometimes say MC use mana then in next paragraph it's Qi. What?? "I have eyes but failed to see mount tai" typical Chinese saying, tell me is there a mount tai in that game world? if not why did someone from that world say it? it feels so wrong. MC and his friends goes on calling each other brother, brother, brother it's super awkward. His friend spend thousands of years in game before MCs arrival yet there's no visible changes in his personality, he acts like a child along with MC and emotional moments are so forced. Author uses CAPITALS to convey emotions are screaming/anger instead of describing them, feels like it's written by a school kid. Story isn't original either, just another isekai but worse with chinese copy paste. The way they use "hidden" expert and other bs is just ugggh.

thanks for saving me time bruv, i hate trying to read new novel only to realise it is just waste of time with weak plot and writing that offers nothing but occasional self satisfaction

TL;DR - great premise, ******* execution. I agree on "hidden gem" assessment with other reviewers. This novel definitely stands aside from many cookie cutter xianxia on this site. As for genre, I'd say it is a xianxia/mystery with a slight transmigration twist. Now, is the novel good? I am... rather conflicted. On one hand, I read all the 60 chapters available in one sitting and am even so impressed I am writing this review, so its definitely not trash. On the other hand I find myself not adding the novel to my library - after getting a solid taste of what is it like I am just not very exciting for the next chapter. Writing quality is average. It could be the author is just trying to imitate (poorly written and translated) xianxia novels, and this is causing his own prose to be generic and uninspiring. It definitely has that cultivation aftertaste - phrases like "boundless heavens", "with a flick of wrist" etc. being peppered all over the chapters. It doesn't quite go down to "repeating explanations several times in a row" type of bad, but still there's much to improve in pure technical writing aspect. For the story, the only good thing for me is mystery. I would honestly like to know how and who is behind the transmigration and fall of Heaven. So, the premise of the story is 5/5, I was hooked from the begging. But again, while the premise is great, the main body of story is disappointing. Its... slap-dash? Uneven, unstructured. Events just happen, it seems - enemies and allies are revealed spontaneously and just as easily discarded. The tone is inconsistent too - at a certain point it was nearly a slice of life comedy! It definitely feels like the writer is making stuff up as he goes, without deeper consideration - so if the writer isn't caring about his world building, why should I?
