The story has a good premise, but bad development. It was fine for him to act like a moron for the first 50 chapters but from then on it just became irritating. So you're left with that recycled garbage story of an 'amazing' character that solves other peoples servants without return. Before you try to refute, accepting goods and demanding goods are two different things. A possible defence to the author is that this is all in an attempt to drag on the novel; since he introduced numerous realms that have yet to be discovered. Even still, since said chapters aren't out yet, and this is purely speculation, it's a so-so novel.

LIKEThe novel is slowly filler at the moment. I didn't talk about mana and realms in my review because I felt it was too long. So here: •He rejects going to the upper realm and acts like a house maid for those in the lower realm, in spite of the possibility of there being more mana and him being able to better exercise his powers. •He rejects going to the realms above despite his ultimate goal of being among the greats. You might think oh well he doesn't know enough yet. WRONG. He's read some books (or could have read countless given the time he's stayed there). So there is no excuse for him being a moron, needing to learn and be a disciple to weaklings of the lower realm. •If he was going to be a disciple why not try an upper realm sect. Two birds with one stone.
*still haven't voiced my complaints about his cultivation*
I understand your sentiments. It was a long, dragging novel, but it was actually to give it curves. I mean, I like slow-paced and not everyone would like it, which is the risk I took. Also, I had read plenty of books that don't actually have a great narrative that only focuses on the plot, so I was focusing there a little, but there were some phases where I failed, but some were delivered. It is still serializing, so no one will be able to tell what the end will be or the flow of the plot. However, since I am the author of this one, the moron side and unstable personality of the MC will be tackled more. In the latest chapters of my drafts, the MC notices his unstable personality, which also includes his desires. He indeed wanted to form a sect or even become a disciple. However, it didn't mean that he had to hasten things. What he wanted was experience, not entirely to be the greatest of all. Why not use his time in the lower realms? There is no problem with it as it is only his personal interest. If he wanted to cultivate quickly, he could do it, but there were plenty of things that he wanted to learn and experience that he could not do before. It will be discussed in the future chapters as there will be a reformation arc where it focuses on the MC's part. I had nothing really grandiose planned for the MC; I only wanted him to have a slow and chilling flow of plot. At least a refresher. There is no sufficiency needed here since he doesn't have any schedule to meet.
I agree. To me it felt like a good idea for a story but poor execution.
Sounds dumb.
