First of all MC is a complete moron and that matches up with most of the other characters in the novel. Cliche “every cultivator goes around thinking about killing MC for literally no reason.” Sometimes MC shows off his amazing talent and still attracts low level cultivators wanting to kill him which make absolutely zero sense. Why would these cultivators risk everything they have to kill MC just because he has more talent and knowing he has multiple backers that are stronger then their entire families. Novel is addicting to read but it will only ever be average. MC has like twenty element affinities but doesnt train in any of them except maybe fire. MC acts like a six year old toddler most of the time and doesn’t think about anything he does. MC doesn’t know what flying under the radar means as he wants to be the center of attention literally everywhere he goes. No common sense. Story is a funny cliche read but if your looking for something serious this ain’t it.

LIKEAgree with what is said here about the MC lacking common sense, but of course William will have to learn from his mistakes eventually.I disagree with the rest however, but if you feel this way perhaps I need to take another look at the writing.Do note that only the first volume has been written up to this point. Many things will change with time. Thanks for your honest thoughts, I will use them to improve!
We’ll theres brain dead and then theres immature.
In this regard, it is ually referring to a lack of common sense. For example, killing someone with powerful backing in the wide open instead of masking your identity and killing them silently. Another is simply wearing a mask. Lastly, it would be making the more beneficial decision. For example, leaving the sect instead of staying and taking the bullying or powering up to become sect leader of a sect trying to kill you... The list is long. So long that you could practice self-improvement by going through all of it.
I have not read the book. However, from writer to another, I admire the dedication, time, and effort it takes to consistently write nearly 200,000 words over several months. That accomplishemnt already makes you an amazing writer. I hope you will add reflection as a way to grow your character while starting out with them having common sense and intelligence at an average level or a relative level to their age and life experience. For more info on what I meant, read the below:Depending on Mc's age, there's no need to lack common sense. There are moments of immature decisions from a lack of experience. However, common sense true to the name means nearly everyone has it. It is common to know you should not jump into fire, kill openly, or act impulsively.Character growth or development does not need to come from adding common sense to the character. Instead, from reflecting on moments where he could have made a better decision, he could have been more decisive or could have acted less emotional. Learning not only from mistakes but also from experiences where he could have done better. Doing so is what shows character growth and development. Thank you for reading, and I truly hope you continue to excel as a writer, author, and content creator. Have not a good life, but an even greater day,Carefree.
If you haven’t read the book why are you commenting? You’re dumb as bricks
you told the author to have a good day, but a horrible life😂 that's horrible and it's funny 😂🤣 that's a new way for me to diss people from now on 😂🤣
Ignorance. You have not properly read my entire comment. Should I call you "dumber than bricks" for falsely accusing me of the very thing you're doing (not reading properly). Just in case you still don't understand: From my comments, it's clear that I've read enough to create an accurate critique on the MC. Yet I'm as dumb as bricks for not having read the book.
Bro you literally said you didn’t read the book. Gtfo with your comment. No one cares you’re a writer when this review is about the book itself. Go back to your cave troll.
So how is it now?
Have to say, usually no. Flawed MCs, whenever I read them seem to translate to “MC is going to fuck something up due to immaturity that even I myself am not perfect, would not do” and that drives me insane. I don’t want all the tumultuous bullshit of misunderstandings and anger fueled conversations to be a part of a character I’m reading. After all, majority of “flaws” can be avoided if you’re just a decent person
Becoming a sect leader is a pretty good way to become overall weaker though, and if you ever genuinely care about the sect and its people, you now have a massive target for your enemies, and you have to worry about who will take over. Way too much work.
