After finishing the trial read(Gotta go fast), I can say the novel is going fairly good. I can't say it's fantastic; nor can I say it's bad. So far, the novel is centered around the development of the MC's fortress, and the troubles he goes through in building it up. Within the fortress, MC is invincible. The issue is, if he leaves the fortress, he is very weak at the moment. Outside the fortress he will have no power. Only his subordinates will have power, but once they leave he has no control. Characters are alright, they have their own personalities. Some of them do overlap, but I can see development for them that couldn't be done in 60 chapters, which is a difficulty trial reads have. From what I can tell the novel will be fraught with misunderstandings about the influence the MC has outside his fortress's influence. It might get repetitive, but all in all it is an entertaining concept and I enjoyed reading the first 60 chapters. I can see the novel being successful. The writing is stable around the intended concept. I do wish, however, that the author went more in detail on the cultivation systems; at least gave us a glimpse at the skills used and what the MC's body is up to. 60 chapters in and I forgot the MC has a real body. P.S. The cliffhanger on chapter 60 makes me want to go jump off the cliff and read the MTL.

Tldr: Support this book, if you like op mc establishing his hegemony in politically complex world. I feel positively surprised that this book got selected for trial read. I have already read all the raw ongoing chapters in the Google translate. I even made an account on Chinese Qidian to support the author by buying all the chapters. My review will obviously be quite biased but it's my honest opinion. The mc has an invincible city system. He is basically the god there, omniscient and omnipresent kind. Not just that, every time system upgrades, the city area increases almost exponentially. The catch is: time limit. He has one year for the system and needs to find fragments to increase system time. The characters are likeable and provide great support to mc and the plot. The mc is smart and makes preparations for the future. The antagonists aren't necessarily villains and the mc is destined to be an invader. There is political and diplomatic relations involved throughout the story I especially like the cultivation realms with different systems (as in Taoism, Buddhism, martial art, demon) but they are divided into different arithmetic numbers and a name for that specific realm with no small division of early, mid etc. This gives an intuitive judgement of one's strength without appearing bland. Leapfrogging realms is difficult but possible for one or two stages. There is still much in store with the novel but the author had been inconsistent with updates lately in contrast to huge number of updates initially. This might be due to lower popularity of this book in comparison to his other works. The creator of novel is a full time author. Please support him.

Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

After being reincarnated in a world of Gods, Demons, and Great Emperors, Wang Wei embarks on a journey to bear Heaven Mandate, proves the Dao, and proclaims himself a Great Emperor--a Supreme Being that overlooked Myriad World and Races. However, his Dao involves despising fate and its encompassing glory. So what awaits our protagonist on his journey full of vicissitudes to defy and even control fate? While he controls the fate of countless races and worlds, is fate playing with him? Can he escape the very shackles of fate that he controls? Better Synopsys: After an unknown cosmic accident that enveloped the Earth, Wang Wei was reincarnated into a magical world of spiritual cultivation. This world was composed of powerful Demons, cunning and brutal Devils, ruthless and indifferent Gods, detached and ethereal Immortals. More Importantly, Great Emperors--Supreme Beings that stand above everyone and everything, even life and death itself. Despite being born in one of the most powerful sects in the world, Wang Wei was placed under tremendous pressure when so many expectations were placed on him by his sect due to the fact they have not cultivated a Great Emperor for countless millennia--an act which threatened the fundamental status of his family, friends, and sect. On top of that, Wang Wei was not one of the chosen few of this world that was granted special gifts by Heaven, thus further aggravating his circumstances. However, he did not retreat in the face of adversity. With the mindset that “If Heaven does not give me, I shall take it for myself”, Wang Wei begins to plan his rise to the top with a brilliant tactical mind and the help of his mysterious soul so that one day he will become a Great Emperor that not only control his fate but the fate of all lives in existence. This story has a similar setting as Emperor Dominion, I am a True Villain, and Scoring the Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Get-go. If you enjoy this type of story, then you will enjoy my story. The first 30 chapters or so have many problems story-wise, so please bear with it as I was just beginning as a writer. However, I promise the story gets better afterward.
