I read until chapter 44 and decided to stop. I'll explain why based on the rating. The pros: 1. I love the world background. The idea of the sect is small within a not so great kingdom within a great (?) empire. Outside of the continent, there might be more things to be discovered as hinted through MC's blur memories of the past. 2. Updates are 10 chapters/week. Amazing! 3. There's a clear direction. Find disciples, unlock their potentials, solve their problems yada yada. I'm satisfied, at least. The cons: 1. The pacing is slow and there's too much fillers. Why is a servant brewing black tea and green tea important to the story? Did MC and her disciple got addicted to them? Nope. In fact, the servant competition could be compress into a few paragragh (or none at all) and be done with. If the servant is special, the focus should be on her instead of the whole competition. And the upper echelons attending the new disciples examination from the get go is strange too. If they only attend during the final, I understand, but from the very beginning? Even watching when they are checking their bone age? Strange. They have too much time in their hands. 2. Character design is too common. TBH if it was not stated that MC was from another world, I wouldn't even know. There's no uniqueness from the way he talk or behave, even when he's alone. The only time I notice is when he used the word 'broadcast' while he tried to activate his disciple's physique. Aside from that, there's no hint of slang or casualness from him. Aside from the rating, I really love the idea of MC collecting disciples which is why I read the novel.

Thanks you for the Review! Mostly wanted it to be slow and with much more focus on the day to day life of the characters as it is a slice of life story. The focus of the story will also find a main line to follow instead of being as scattered as it might have felt in the earlier chapters. The characters will be more fledged out as time passes, but it might not be what you are looking for. All in all, thank you for wasting some of your time on my novel! Hope you find something enjoyable to read, personally would recommend the works of IET (my favorite author in eastern fantasy!) or History's number one founder if you are into the concept of mc being a master that trains disciples.
In later chapters I did start to focus more on the world itself evolving and expanding on it more! Sadly I'm not that skilled in that regard yet and can only hope I get better with time and practice :d
