Alright, this story is kinda bad. First off, the main character has a system that rewards him for doing "ordinary" things. For example, making food, cutting logs, fetching water. Things that a ordinary villager would do. Thats fine and dandy, and theres definitely a way to make this into a novel, however this is not how you do it. Not far into the novel, the main character is fighting people left and right. Literally every other person he meets he ends up assassinating because they have some bad thoughts towards his junior sister who hes protecting. First off, lets start with the story development. The female lead (main character's junior sister) is actually a genius who died, and then regressed back in time. The main character is a reincarnator. So, the female lead constantly gets into trouble, and it's not even funny. Literally every other sect wants to kill her, refine her into a pill, force her into being someones maid, etc. It's actually ridiculous. You see, the longer the story goes on, the more and more the main character is using his parody-level overpowered strength to assassinate people seventeen major realms above him, and it's just not fun to read. The main character literally gets stronger from doing ordinary things, it's fine if the main character occasionally goes out to protect the female lead, but it shouldn't be this much. It ruins the entire point of the main character staying low-key and having parody-level strength. As for the characters? They suck, plain and simple. It's one of those "you dare kill me, young master of blah blah blah" then "you dare kill my son" then repeat endlessly until it's devolved into a massive war. Like what I mentioned previously, it's just endless conflicts in a novel that was originally a slice-of-life-cum-action novel. Now, it's just a action novel. The female lead is beyond stupid, it can't be put into words. Imagine being able to regress, and relive your life, and somehow causing even more problems than you did in your previous life. Female lead says shes going to protect her sect and senior brother, but ends up doing the exact opposite. The main character has to help her out from the shadows over and over again, which causes even more trouble. It's just endlessly repeating fights. The world background is alright, average at best. The main character barely leaves his sect so theres not a whole lot to be told, even with him occasionally leaving to fight someone. Overall, the plot and characters are rather poor, and it very quickly devolves into a endless-combat action novel. Which, believe it or not, isn't that fun to read.

10,000 Years In A Cultivation Sect: I Obtained A Powerful Technique From The Start is a story about a senior brother with a system, and a junior sister who went back in time after dying. I have to admit, I really enjoyed this novel at the start. It was a interesting slice of life romance novel, however the story quickly went awry from there. First off, the translation quality is quite poor. The first letter of many sentences are cut off, and sometimes words are entirely. There are countless mistakes throughout, but at the very least it's readable and isn't MTL. (3/5 stars) The story development isn't that great. As previously mentioned, the story is about a senior brother with a system, and a junior sister who regressed. The senior brother's (Jiang Ming) system, allows him to gain various rewards for doing "ordinary" things. The start of the novel is pretty good, it reads like a cultivation slice of life novel with a slow romance. This rapidly changes. The main character constantly kills people in the dark for his junior sister. (After she somehow offends someone or gets too powerful) This, in turn, causes even more people to attack the main character. I am not even joking, but it even causes a war. It's downright silly. At this point, it's devolved into a story about a overpowered Xianxia character fighting anything that moves. Not to mention, the pacing is tremendously awful. Story goes from cute slice of life romance novel to world war 3 in less than 100 chapters, and they are already introducing different worlds. There are also a few plot holes in the novel. For example, the main character obtains a "technique" that allows him to see people's information, and some secrets as well, as long as he knows their name. So, you would expect him to figure out that his junior sister has time traveled, however as of chapter 149, this hasn't happened. (2/5 stars) Moving onto the character design. Main character still feels like a blank canvas to me personally. He hasn't changed from the beginning. He is exceedingly generic, to the point I can't pinpoint any unique personality traits. The junior is sister is generic as well, the only personality trait she has is that she is protective of her senior brother. As for the romance? I'm not sure. They randomly went from a pseudo-sibling relationship, to a romantic/sexual one, and I have zero idea what the turning point was. Most characters are rather one dimensional, but at least this novel has more variety than other cultivation novels. (2/5 stars) World background is below average. World feels exceedingly small when only a few regions are vaguely described. I feel like the universe is more talked about than the planet the main character is on, which is rather weird. (2/5 stars) Overall, novel isn't paced well, and the author seemingly went from slice-of-life to action novel, and it's very obvious when you read the novel. Everything regarding the novel is rather sub-par, more effort was needed in all aspects. I think this novel would've been way better if the author simply kept it as a slice-of-life novel and focused on the romance and world-building, but that's just my opinion.

Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

After being reincarnated in a world of Gods, Demons, and Great Emperors, Wang Wei embarks on a journey to bear Heaven Mandate, proves the Dao, and proclaims himself a Great Emperor--a Supreme Being that overlooked Myriad World and Races. However, his Dao involves despising fate and its encompassing glory. So what awaits our protagonist on his journey full of vicissitudes to defy and even control fate? While he controls the fate of countless races and worlds, is fate playing with him? Can he escape the very shackles of fate that he controls? Better Synopsys: After an unknown cosmic accident that enveloped the Earth, Wang Wei was reincarnated into a magical world of spiritual cultivation. This world was composed of powerful Demons, cunning and brutal Devils, ruthless and indifferent Gods, detached and ethereal Immortals. More Importantly, Great Emperors--Supreme Beings that stand above everyone and everything, even life and death itself. Despite being born in one of the most powerful sects in the world, Wang Wei was placed under tremendous pressure when so many expectations were placed on him by his sect due to the fact they have not cultivated a Great Emperor for countless millennia--an act which threatened the fundamental status of his family, friends, and sect. On top of that, Wang Wei was not one of the chosen few of this world that was granted special gifts by Heaven, thus further aggravating his circumstances. However, he did not retreat in the face of adversity. With the mindset that “If Heaven does not give me, I shall take it for myself”, Wang Wei begins to plan his rise to the top with a brilliant tactical mind and the help of his mysterious soul so that one day he will become a Great Emperor that not only control his fate but the fate of all lives in existence. This story has a similar setting as Emperor Dominion, I am a True Villain, and Scoring the Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Get-go. If you enjoy this type of story, then you will enjoy my story. The first 30 chapters or so have many problems story-wise, so please bear with it as I was just beginning as a writer. However, I promise the story gets better afterward.
