I'm totally disappointed.. Thought the novel will be similar to "senior brother is too steady" where the mc is cautious n intelligent n thoroughly plans stuff n all.. but all I'm seeing in these 40 chapters is him selecting the safest choice based on the system's reward all the time, no matter if it's reasonable or not (giving tip in the hotel for example).. the mc can be totally brainless n just do whatever the system says.. the author tries to create an image of mc being smart but it's just turns out to be average and totally disappointing

Do you mean the start where the mc goes out into the world without a plan whatsoever? The mc was never smart. Cautious sure, but it was never stated that he is smart. The novel even shows that at the beginning.

Oh yeah even if it is unreasonable or reasonable. Let us look into the time where the mc accepted a 'master' which turned out to be a scammer who made the mc into a slave miner. Even when it was nearing the 40th chapter we still see how choices that the system presents could help the mc. Even the most unreasonable one like giving a tip can be explained due to how the average wuxia ir xianxia world works. The waiter whi does not get a tip either gets mad or due to not getting a tip, he will gossip about how the mc has five girls in a room which would attract lechers and one of them could be a noble or gang member. Mc beats them up only for their gang to hunt him down.

MC overly depend on system ,he has no opinion nor intelligence. If system don't tell him what to do he won't do shit. Even when he was entered the sect, what he had to do was just be somewhere middle of the group an show an average talent, but what he did he stayed there like pig untill system has tell him to move, again at the fight he just had to do was make some effort to fight his opponent and will win barely. This were all opportunities to get strong an have an better survival rate. And This choice were not in the system options.

Did you read my other comment where I said he is an idiot? The mc is an established idiot who is narcissistic. I bet the system made itself look like that because the mc makes shit decisions. Just look at the backstory, the guy had no caution at all and made an idiotic choice because he thinks he is the mc therefore he gets special treatment, he got it beaten out of him. Now he is a scaredy cat but deep inside he still wants benefits(those +1 points are very beneficial) and with his dumb/scarred mind, he became cautious and overly reliant on the system since he is scared of the unknown now, he is also scared that his choices might kill him(cause he is stupid), I think.

I read the raw to a decent point and it seems more like the system is molding his personality more then him being overly reliant. a lot of choices he has to give a straight answer but others he can choose how he proceeds. he also uses it to determine threat levels and hidden connections between people

So yes, here I am with my review of all the trial reads (will do one of this book too): Same Day......(SDOL): Didn't bother reading. I Can Transform Into A Zombie(ICTIAZ): According to the reviews, I deduced that the unwritten price for the transformation was the zombifying of MC's brain. Rotten. My Debauched Devotion(MDD): Read it till the 40 chapters. I honestly like it, but in the last 8 chapters or so it felt like it was starting to lose it's uniqueness. Could be a false warning. I'm Really Not Targeting The Mages: Even though I didn't finish reading the 40 chapters, I still got the idea of what it is. You can find a set logical rules in the novel. Rules that will not allow MC to fight higher level beings like cracking egg. It's not my fault if the author suddenly looses that logical screw in his head. Dafeng's Night Squad: By the end 40 chapters, even though Dafeng's Night Squad has only show it's face twice (2nd time it was just a passing glance), it's still one of the best in this trial read. Sometimes action done by the MC feels a little impulsive on minor matters, it is mostly how a normal person would have acted (and by my 'Normal' it certainly, absolutely does not include certain webnovel readers, I appreciate your cooperation). Overall this novel has more realism than most Magical Realism novel out there(a reference to Chinese and Japanese novels). I am Loaded With Passive Skills(IALWPS): help me find out whether it's Xin Fan's next novel after It’s Lonely to Be Invincible under a different name. Tanky Mage System(TMS): *sigh* Didn't read it yet. Couldn't find the motivation to start it. About the review, No comment. Could have been good, could have been bad or just not my cup of tea? Those who have, help me with this. The Treasure-Chest Hunting Vampire(TTCHV): Read the reviews then didn't trouble myself with clicking it's 'Read' button. My Special Ability is Perfect Replication(SAPR): I have experienced enough betrayals to help my mood return to the chaos of origin after looking at the name. Reviews didn't help in brightening my mood. The Era of Gods(TEOG): Not my cup of tea that's why was not able to finish the 40 chapters. But comparing it to other novels of similar plot and tags etc. I can at least say that it's decent enough that those who like this type of novel will read it. (Help me correct my mistake if I am wrong) Fantasy Simulator(FS): Similar to Dimensional Codex. And I liked both. The basic outline is that the MC has a system that let's him experience the life in another identity in another world. I am being very crude with that description but I have faith in my brothers that they will be able to provide a better outline. Starting with Contract Pets(SWCP): I believe there was novel in pervious trials with similar name and general plot line? A plus in my point is that the MC actively tries to learn knowledge and yes he cannot learn everything with a single look. I don't know why but it's just a plus in my opinion. God Rank Upgrade System: Didn't bother finishing the second chapter. I Just Won't Play By The Book(IJWPBTB): In the last month or two, this novel can become my best easily. Yeah, I know some of you think that this a beta novel etc. If I had read the reviews before reading the novel I might have taught the same. Let me clarify something, there is a reason for the MC's behavior and author used almost 10 chapters to clarify that (It's mostly the naïve days of MC at the starting shown as a back flash) Now, this begs the question: What I am doing?: Umm.......I don't know, you wouldn't happen to know, would you? Why am I doing?: Just felt like doing it. And why am I doing it here?: I guess because I liked it. And yes, do recommend some novel that won't make me loss my brain cells.
