In other words, the author forcefully regresses the mentality of the protagonist from old monster to stereotypical Chinese lead. Wonderful.

Quite frankly I thought that the author did that bit quite well. Instead of rebranding the actions of the MC into being "righteous" he instead rebranded what righteousness really meant. He showed the MC's previous desicions where the MC approached everything with an ulterior motive and showed us there was nothing morally wrong with that. Instead of shaping the actions to fit under the good banner he shaped the good banner and extended it to what our society calls gray areas. It's splendidly smart. The author gave an incredibly good excuse for the MC to suddenly have feelings again. He was probably just responding to the wave of comments criticizing the fact that the MC seemed like an indifferent rock even after living a few lifetimes in different simulations. I am 100% satisfied with the MC right now. So far he's one of the smarter webnovel MC's I've met.

well not to be mean or anything but every simulation the mc goes to he changes in someway in that simulation and when he goes back to the main world he tries to go back to how he was b4, so even if in 1 world he becomes a hero of justice or a religious leader etc as long as he doesn't just forcefully stays that way then its alright to me anyway.

Well, personally I don't care because mc isn't really a 'good guy'. At heart, he is a selfish person. Most of the time his so-called righteousness was acting for his own interests therefore it wasn't really genuine. Of course, he is no Lelin. However, I find it somewhat interesting how you could act being righteous and benefit quite a lot without actually believing in righteousness.

That's what I thought for over 200 chapters as well. However, the author has a tendency to create scenarios where doing 'good' always brings benefits to the protagonist. Whether this is helping Elves stave off genocide in human continent, providing nurture to lost little girls, exorcising evil spirits, purifying evil mages et cetera. There's no moral dilemma, no sacrifice needed, as all the protagonist has to do is be a good person and the author will reward him in one way or another. You can see this from the Fortune and Karma marks for instance. I find this type of justification most repulsive.

Facts. I stopped reading after that Faith arc. it was quite sickening

It's a difficult world for those of the Unorthodox Dao! So much filth.

Whats sickening?

This review explains what it is

And I replied to it. However, I gained no new knowledge for why it is 'sickening'.

my main issue is that once the faith energy becomes a thing the author throws away the whole Faith energy is a supporting element and he still needs to work on his base. like instead of it being one times two it would be something like three times two because his base was better his fundamentals was better. now the main character focuses on gaining believers instead of strengthening his base. I'd say it's kind of upsetting because the novels great selling point so far has been that the main character is going to a bunch of different worlds that have a bunch of different Power Systems and he's experiencing all of them and piecing together the best that he can coming up with a stronger Foundation. and then the faith energy comes to play and almost everything else that we see starts to go out the window slowly. at first the main character just acknowledges that Faith energy isn't amazing, and then it somehow becomes a Godly element that lets him constantly strengthen his body no matter what instead of just being a supporting element. whatever. what really upsets me is that he starts to only go to Worlds that have no power system. instead he just goes there to gain Believers and that's pretty boring. it was really interesting watching the main character wonder how to bring cultivation into a non-cultivation world, and then had to bring night's life energy into a world that didn't support it. and then he ended up going with the sorcerer tree because all it went for was mental energy but he still kept everything else. and all that went out the window. I don't know if it comes back I don't know if it gets any better I am dropping this novel because the translation quality has gone down so far that they don't even keep the same names for the same characters it's changed three times in one chapter and the names for a faction has changed more times

bro the faith energy doesn't even stay! He literally said he didn't want to change himself. He makes a puppet to hold all that energy. Sadly the puppet never really gets used much even until chap 800. I think it would have some uses but the author never got the chance to really show case it. The author then goes on to show in future chapters how the MC manipulates and uses the energy to grow stronger without effecting his own true self through clones and other spirits. It's all very cool and interesting
