I read to chapter 32 until I couldn't bear it anymore. The MC is a full on clueless retard who doesn't make full use of his system or the amazing advantage he has been given. Instead he is just content with "going with the flow" and being "low-key" as he calls it. Note, I don't have anything against the MC striving to being low-key - in fact, I generally prefer those types of protagonists over face-slapping hot blooded youths that can't take an insult and goes around wrecking havoc everywhere regardless of the consequences. My biggest gripe I have with this novel's MC, is that he's a genuine idiot. Period. (at least that's how I would describe him). He has an amazing system that can extract (or basically copy/duplicate) anything he comes within a certain distance of. But instead of getting close to populated areas in hopes to gain more cultivation points and items from other disciples, he prefers being "low-key", as he calls it, and isolate himself. Another example of him being a downright idiot, is that he can extract medicinal properties of pills and herbs and use them in their purest and uncontaminated way - but when a senior brother asks him to go out with him to visit an auction, he, at firsts, rejects because he was too tired from staying up all night, but then later he changes his mind. So, instead of using the energy that he had collected, he goes in and takes the original pill (BTW, he can extract energy from the same object every 24 hours, so that removes a resource from his daily "farm"), and with the pill, as it wasn't the pure energy, he also takes in the impurities. Another example, is that with the Extract System, he has basically copied the entire humongous first level of the sect library, and we also learn that time doesn't pass when he's in the system space - and he can stay in the system space for as for long as he likes while interacting with the items he has extracted. So why on God in Heaven doesn't he hole up and read and gather as much information as possible? I mean, he could generally become the subject matter expert on every single topic that the sect has in their library on the first level? And these are just 3 examples out of many, many others. E.g., him not willing to raise his cultivation but instead spends it on comprehending idiotic techniques at crazy 1000:1 ratio cultivation points to comprehension points, and so on. Or him choosing bow and arrow because he used it when he was mortal and had experiences with such a weapon (bear in mind who can't use longe range attacks with a close range weapon due to Qi and spells, which effectively invalidates his argument - and it leaves him vulnerable to close range attacks), but then uses expensive comprehension points, that could have been used to diversify his weapon options, i.e. learn a close range weapon, on a spell so he can make a lake in his spatial garden. *sigh* So much potential and it's just wasted on a braindead protagonist. Overall, the translation is okay. The world background is as generic as it comes for a xianxia novel. The updating stability is stable, and the concept for the story was good. The MC just ruins the entire novel in my opinion. In short, stay away if you're looking for an amazing read, however, give it a go if you're bored out of your mind and have nothing else on your reading list. This is basically just another cookie cutter xianxia novel, where the author has an interesting writing prompt idea, but then gave 0 effort in planning and execution.
