Review till chapter 203 Story is fine. Mc is fine. Story progresses fine. The problem with this novel is actually not the story itself but the cultivation. In this world you can either cultivate body or qi essence. The mc is unique and have 2 dantians, which makes him capable of cultivating both. The problem is that we often se mc fighting those at one minor realm over himself.(like early vs middle of a major realm) Till chapter 203, everytime that have happened mc has a really tight battle and the explains how great this is. The problem I have with this is that in almost every novel, the mc surprises everyone with his skill, and manages to defeat those at higher realms while being at a lower cultivation level. In this world supposedly body cultivating is a path which is as attractive as cultivating qi. Now we come to the roots of the problem. For example in chapter 200 we have a fight where opponent is a minor realm above his qi and body cultivation. MC has better qi skills, domain and so on. Still he only manages to win slightly. And then author talks of how he is genius to do this. To be honest, I feel like is a wastly underwhelming. I must say that it doesnt feel like he has a double cultivation at all. In none of the fights. Why bother going about this double dantian if it isnt gonna matter in fights. Why talk so much about body cultivations techniqiue if it doesnt seem like it helps. Authoer should read the book Walker of the worlds to see how it realisticially should have been. It is just annoying to read tbh, and makes the reading less realistic, and I wonder how it is gonna be when mc is gonna meet body cultivators later, when we see how underwhelming it has been till now.

I must say, that this was bad review. But the problem still stands. Why does it seem like he is way below them in cultivation when he is only a minor realm and he cultivates both. It defeats the purpose. And what about the heavendefying tecnique(body). It is wastly underwhelming and when you go out you should expect more. I think auther should reevaluate, and if it becomes too complex just have 1 dantian, because making it seem like he has 1 dantian while he has 2 is just annoying. What is the point if the only can fight one minor realm if he has 2 dantians of that, which supposedly doubles his power. Just stupid, and a plothole which has continued to grow till chapter 200.

The MC gets a very big power boost just a few chapters later (230ish or so), which allows him to jump many more minor realms, which addresses your main concern.

yeah, but to be honest, this seems more like a nitpick, then an actual problem with the story, it's just that you're used to something like I shall seal the heavens, or other, but yeah, I get it!

I think the whole point of the original reviewer is that he shouldn't need a separate boost to fight above levels. Being able to cultivate both body and qi should, at the very least, allow him to be at the top of his major realm as soon as he gets there

Think of it as this way. John having two systems (body + essence) is additive. Its like fighting two against one, and he has an advantage against someone in the same realm as him. For a real world example, its like two children fighting against one. The two will always win, until an adult shows up, and then numbers don't matter. John's two cultivation system alone doesn't allow him to jump to adult level just yet. He needs to level up both of those systems to be stronger in order to jump realms (which he does a bit later on). Thats why right now he's invincible in the same realm, but cannot jump too high.

Well author, your forgot the "heaven defying technique" part. It should be 2 adults facing one child...this is more convincing and realistic. 2 for dantian/power system and adults for those "technique".

Hi All, Author Here. First off to my current readers, thank you for everyone who has read and continues to read my novel. I truly appreciate it, and will continue to support this novel until its eventual conclusion. I think John's journey so far has been incredibly interesting thus far, and hopefully what I have in store in the future continues to interest all readers. After a year and a half of writing this novel, I figured I'd write another review addressing comments/complaints that are commonly brought up. To put this at the top for all to see, I personally believe that while this novel is good throughout, it really kicks off and goes from "good" to "great," or even "fantastic" at around chapter 70. The novel if free to read up to chapter 90, and if you make it that far, I believe most readers will come to love the novel by that point. Now, to address common comments/complaints for this novel: 1) John being too naive or "dumb" - This comment is mostly brought up in the beginning of the novel, and these comments typically disappear by around chapter 90 or so. One thing to remember regarding John's smarts is that he starts out as a sheltered 14 year old child. He's never really been out in the world, and as such makes wrong decisions, and sometimes even dumb ones from the readers perspective. This is done for two reasons: one is to write a realistic MC, as a child who is smart without flaws from the start is not very realistic. The second reason is to show growth of the character in a way that the reader connects with. With the many decisions John makes that is seen as "dumb" or "stupid," he learns from those decisions and does not make them again. I would say by around chapter 90, John is almost a different character due to his personal and mental growth, and he continues to grow smarter as the novel progresses. 2) John not being ruthless enough or too nice: This comment is also brought up early on as well. John does make some naive decisions again, many that are too nice. But yet again, he learns from those decisions (ie. the village arc) that fuels his growth to becoming more ruthless, as well as colder to those not directly associated with him. Once again, the plot points make his ruthless personality shift believable, and by the current point in the novel, John is incredibly ruthless to his enemies, even to the point that others are shocked by his actions. He will continue to get more ruthless as the novel progresses, on his way to becoming "Asura" Those are the two main complaints early on in the novel, which tend to vanish as readers progress through the story, while John develops into the MC that readers of this genre like (Smart, ruthless, strong). I hope this update is useful for any new readers thinking of picking up this novel. Thanks for reading and supporting the novel. -rRandom
