Writing Quality 4/5: Good word diversisty and well structured sentences, the reader won't struggle here. There are however a few minor typo's every few chapter that are probably due to autocorrect. I.E: Brian becomes brain. Story Development 4.5/5: The story focuses Mc's inventions/discoveries used for the betterment of others, be it individuals or entire communities. Something I'd like more of is POV's from different characters it's one thing to see the improvements of the Burtons via the MC another entirely from the POV of say a guard. Character Design 4/5: The MC is too OP... Well that is sort of the point but I think I'd enjoy the story more if the MC had to work together with say Ceasar to perfect the manuals for the major heavenly laws. In the end it feels as if other major characters in the story can never measure up to the MC. Updating Stability 5/5: Seems to update frequently, I just binged nearly 300 chapters so I'll just leave 5/5. World Background 4.5/5: Starts out as pretty standard xinxia fare I.E: eight kingdoms, 4 empires multiple planets. While you read the story however the book/novel takes the time to introduce dukes and the royal family from both the Mc's kingdom and foreign kingdoms.

"Brian becomes Brain" This can be fun, like "Brian is so angry that he feels like smashing his house apart" into "brain is so angry that he feels like smashing his house apart" feels almost the same, until you realize a brain's house is your head.

Idk why you wrote so much lies. 4.5 for the WRITING? Literally there’s a wrong tense every other paragraph. Author doesnt care about capitalization too. Author can’t make descriptors and just CAPITALIZES the entire word like this to make things seem important or urgent or emotional. The fights are BAAAM BOOM BAM. Like… The only thing that is making me read is the concept. A 11 year old wattpad writer has better grammar like… Conversations are unnatural. The so called plans are obvious. Idkkk

I know author likes deleting reviews so if this isn’t enough for a 1 star for you here’s a few more reasons. PLOT HOLES with spoilers. As of chapter 60 MC went to an academy instead of just renting a house somewhere. Did he go to the academy? No. Did he learn anything there? No. Did he make his son learn anything there? No. He just went there to be bullied so theres an UNSATISFYING revenge plot even though the story couldve continued the same if he just rented a house. With it he’ll need to reveal MORE secrets. - Also has the worst leveling system. The novel couldve been elevated if he just had 9 stage of each realm and labeled it as such. Instead he took the designs of an LITRPG game then stopped there. And now the fights are like ‘This guy is lvl 17 but I’m only level 15!’ Is that immersive for a cultivation novel to you? Also author doesnt even define the difference between saints and levels below 20 so it’s just that. The face value is just the numbers and they represent nothing but additive strength. He also instigating fighting a war for Burtons territory, even though he has no connection to them anymore. Even though he wanted to stay away because he doesnt want to be used. And have felt the need to make Caesar famous. Could he have done it when hes had enough personal strength? Well yes. Did Caesar have fighting experience better than 99* of the realm? Well yes he didnt need to practice as much anymore because he’s bulldozing people already. He couldve waited patiently until Caesar is a saint because right now there has been no indicated bottlenecks. But ofcourse this leaves author with no plot to work with so he needs to make MC stupider and greedier even though his mindset in the literal first chapter is that he doesnt need fighting for useless stuff. The author doesnt even set a price for the tournament so that is even LESS excitement. And Caesar is also punished for winning too hard. How are they gonna have a competition and have no way to monitor the situation even if they have sages? Are the sages just that incompetent in this novel? Also there has been multiple fights but there was only one mention of law which is when he was fighting a cannon fodder. A law is never mentioned again. Author only takes the first step to world build then never takes another again. Also another bullshit about having the heart break when someone breaks their promises. You’d think that this would have happened more and would be better reinforced by information? No this is a one time throwaway to make MC seem smart because other wise its obvious it’s all stupid. You can make mc seem smart but you can never make an author who writes them smarter than the author. Also every single elder acts like kids. And they all act the same. 99% of the time I dont care about remembering characters because theres nothing to be remembered about them. Just think of them as plot points, this one will attack the mc, this one will protect the mc. Whats their personality? Who knows, the author doesnt!

Honest reviews are here.. If you are in between the fences, either to read or not, here is a few info about this novel.. [Spoiler Alert] First, this novel is not solo MC, who got strong alone.. Rather, you would barely see MC fight with other people.. Even his first time killing humans is around Ch.100.. Plus, even when there are wars that MC starts, he won't participate in the war personally.. so, what are MC roles in this novel? MC is creating many things.. for the first 10 chapters, you would see MC aged from 14 years old (Ch.1) until 150 years old.. Yes, the author loooooooves time skip.. 10 years later, 1 month later, 30 years later, 60 years later, 6 months later, and so on.. At least, every 5 chapters, you would see time skip.. Reason? Well, as I said before, Mc is creating many things.. So, I guess the author doesn't want to waste his time and others' time explaining MC every creation progress, details, and descriptions, so he skipped it.. Secondly, by doing time skip, the author also doesn't want to make MC too OP where he can "create" in a days or so.. So, every MC creating, it would take around 4 months per new creation.. What creation did MC make? MC is creating a new technique the law of element, introducing talisman for the 1st time the the world and it8 applications, new items/technology, creating new type of pills, new method and improved older one including weapon and armor.. So, this whole time, MC just sent someone to war/kill/beat/challenge his opponent or enemy instead of doing it himself.. MC only does "research" to make his adopted son/daughter, subordinate, and his allies stronger.. You won't see a strong solo MC, adventure, and fighting scene of MC.. Reincarnation?? Nope, MC is not a transmigrator or Reincarnator.. He is just a guy who doesn't want to follow the path that is created by others and wants to try his own idea and path.. System or AI? Nah.. Doesn't exist here.. Is MC genius? Genius in terms of creating and theoretical.. But not in fighting or strategy.. Is MC a strong cultivator?? If you compare MC with a kid, yes, he is OP.. But if you compare MC to the same age as him (150 years old), MC is weak as worm.. Why? MC studying the law and at the end of his life, he finally manage to glimpse a bit the law of truth making "the entity" helping MC by resetting his cultivation and his age into a kid.. So, he is 150 years old guys who have a face and body of 13 years old boy.. So, that why I said he is weak for someone at the age of 150 years old.. MC barely has any time for his own cultivation.. So, the adventures shown in this novel are not about MC but about his adopted son.. It is the same, the fight or the competition or the wars, all that will happen in this novel except, MC did not participate any of that, at all.. Kinda like One Punch Man where we barely see MC, Saitama storyline but see many side character storyline instead.. So, what up with this novel title, Lord of the Truth, how is it related? Well, all the MC creations have to do with it, or maybe it is easier to say MC compromises the Law of Truth.. From this Law of Truth, he can see through everything: Element, Laws, Souls, People, Fruit, Herb, Pill, Weapon, Armour, and so on.. He just makes all those things easily.. Note: I am giving a low rating due to my previous review being deleted.. I give mediocre rate (3 stars) because I don't think it is good, but also, don't think it that bad.. But after my review got deleted, I became more biased toward a bad boring novel..

Before I get to reviewing this, let me preface this by saying that I still thoroughly enjoy reading this despite the brain-cells I lost. Now on to my review. TLDR very nice story, with subpar writing and characters but is excellent for passing time. 1: Writing Quality: Let us be honest, the writing is garbage. The author jumps between tenses constantly and uses the same phrases over and over again. This sort of writing makes the story bland and often messes with my immersion. I would suggest the author to go and get an editor to help him proofread the writing. I don't mean this as an insult to the author, I very much like the premise of the story and I would love to see it executed well, writing-wise. 2: Stability of Updates: Not much to be said here, as I am not fully caught up. 3: Story Development: I love the pacing of the story. It very much complements the "War & Military" aspect of the story. I love Kingdom Building stories and I like when they are executed well. Plot wise and Pace wise, the author is doing a great job. 4: Character Design: I had this at 3 stars before but now I made it 2 simply because there is no one character in this story that is unique. I know this what you typically expect of a cultivation novel, but that should never excuse the author of falling into the same troupes. All, and I mean literally every last one of them including the MC, is one dimensional. Side characters that have no brain of their own: check, FL that is cold and strong at first, but turns into an extension of the MC with absolutely nothing to add: check, an ambitious MC that... you get the idea. Character Interactions: This is a part of character design, however it is highly dependant on how well the author designs the characters personalities and such. So when you have all the same looking characters you get the same character interactions at every turn. MC meets someone new, said person disrespects him, mc says or does something, said person is amazed. and just repeat the process. 5:World Background: The world has a very nice premise. It has been perfectly illustrated thus far. The rules of the world have also been stated, which means the various power dynamics are clear and make sense. This sets the stage for a very nice kingdom building developments. Nicely done. To be honest I wouldn't have written this review if I didn't believe in the potential of this story. And to the author, if you are reading this I would like to say the following. This is your story and as the author/ creative mind behind it. You have every write to explore. Don't bind yourself to the troupes and limits that have been set. Explore with your writing, experiment with the characters. Make them awfully cruel, kind, brave and cowards. Or a mix of all of these, because one characteristic can never describe a human being otherwise they turn into caricatures. Try to make the world move even if the MC didn't exist, cus right now it doesn't feel like that. All I want to say is, experiment and go wild with it. All the best.
