The story itself is quite nice, the information "dump" is quite easily consumable and doesnt overwhelm as its written well, in this novel in comparison to god eyes we have more detail for the cultivation, with how the first three stages are preparatory for actual tranformations or evolutions to come, how in these three supposed perfect foundations for body and energy can be made, and further levels dont have these foundations to segregate but will have "actual cultivation" so more on their own comprehensions and raw power, while building on their formidable base which they can create before breaking through to the 4th level, the academy is also finally including more characters which is a fresh feeling and much needed Now for other things Seeing as the other novel is heavily focused on beasts, i honestly hope we dont actually see an actual beast army here like we will potentially see in the other one The novel is again quite smooth and in 161 chapters has set quite a nice base, from the slow start to the quick catchup to now competing with the same age, which has made the novel quite enjoyable to read, though honestly freaky situations only happening alround the mc in 200 years of history has to stop at some point now that its been done 2-3 times Lastly and my only problem with this novel honestly except the unending monologues and constant calculative and nuetral thought process of the mc which doesnt match his personality anyway, adding some actual additional characters his age who have conversations is much needed, the monologues at 161 chapters are finally starting to live out their welcome with the base for the story set The mc, has been depicted in quite a paradoxical way, ill ignore the reincarnated stuff as thats honestly not really given much to his personality except a sense of adventure which he wouldve gotten himself anyway in time , we have in these chapters seen so many defining features which are parts of a much more high profile personality, be it his unbending will, ambition for freedom and power, cunning, volatile temper, greed, used to killing thus calmer and having more time for calculations, having lived with the stronngest humans who have been told to themselves have high profile personalities and not at all passive or subdued, even implying the mc has taken much of his own personality from looking at his father and aunts and uncles, these characterics he suddenly shows in situations are supposed to be his personality not just parts of it, him having resentment towards being kept in the mansion and not let out for anything he likes to do has been implied but its just not strong enough to the extent where he doesnt seem to actually resent anyone but take everything as love, which is illogical for a teenager (even if reincarnated teenager) he is immature and should resent but doesnt, hes said to be lazy and a tantrum thrower, but these are barely shown,hes even said to be overbearing when fighting or in an agressive mood due to the things hes had to go theough in his childhood Honestly its quite weird with so many traits that the mc has been shown to have a neutral and passive personality and thought process(monologues) it makes no sense, nobody can have a neutral personality and have these volatile and high profile /active traits rather hes shown to be abnormally passive,neutral,polite and nice as if something is suppressing his soul and actual personality and it only breaks out when hes put in a situation, plus being trapped in one place for all his life should make him want to know lots of people, make lots of noise, couse a havoc, let the seven sins of his personality take over, make mistakes, whereas what we see is a guy who doesn't want any attention and is somehow a lone wolf, is lonely but wants to keep to himself, doesnt talk to people much, ofcourse not many his equals have been shown for him to equally talk to but thats not something that can be helped, he has no teenage pangs or much interest in the opposite gender or anything even though hes a 2 time teenager, who should be facing hormonal mood swings This personality of the mc with a rational, nuetral, passive, pragmatic core is paradoxical to his traits and is illogical, the god eyes mc having almost the same personality is another minus, but the god eyes mcs personality is justified unlike this one Unless the mc is fixed to what has actually been written about him rather than this, this story being very well written and a brilliant read takes a back seat as the mcs perspective makes no sense and almost makes it seem like the mcs soul is suppresed or that were somehow reading about the god eyes mc rather than this ones Honestly, i like the book and hope that the mc is atleast tweaked/fixed to some degree as i really hope to read till the end!
