As of the time I am making this review ( 5/19/2023) i have finished 278 chapters, and all I can say is that I am amazed by this authors genius. For the review I will split it into 5 sections Writing Quality, Stability of Updates, Story Development, Character Design. Writing Quality: 5/5 The writing quality is superb, The language and depictions on environments emotion and everything in-between thoroughly immerses the reader into the characters. Stability of updates: 5/5 as of 5/19/2023 the author updates the the story with a chapter everyday sometimes even multiple. Story Development: 5/5 The story development is phenomenal. It evolves throughout the entire story leaving the reader eagerly waiting for the next development. The author expertly weaves the story through the characters and unlike many other authors makes the story feel alive and connected. Character Design: 5/5 The character Design is the best part of the book the author not only explores the emotion and depth of the main character but others as well. Not only that but the character development of the main character is the best I have ever seen on webnovel, The main character goes through many struggles evolving his perspective on himself, the world and others. If you are looking for a purely evil main character this story is not for you. The main character is more than a villain. He is a human, he evolves and changes and although at some points he is villainous that is not all he is. World Background: 4/5 Although the World background is the worst part of the 4 other points of review it is still fairly good. The author does go into detail about the background of the world but in the grand scheme of the story I feel as though it's not enough. (spoilers ahead) The dimension's that the main character goes to don't have that much substance, you cant really feel the background that these dimension's have affecting the story in any tangible manner and you don't really feel engaged in what happens to the dimensions, For example the main character goes to a realm which is massive, thousands of kingdoms within a single empire, the leader of each kingdom being stronger than the main character. what's unfortunate is that you never really feel engaged with the empire/kingdoms. making them feel rather 1 dimensional. You really feel this 1 dimensionality when some kingdoms to war and you don't really care or feel intrigued about the outcome of the world. That being said I don't really think it dragged the story down that much because the story is more focused of the development of the main character and those around him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps my thoughts on this book will worsen but so far this is one of if not the best stories on webnovel, would definitely recommend.

Author, I recommend that you remove the ''villain'' tag. If you're not going to write a novel where the mc will follow dao demonioco it's better to remove this tag. If you keep this up, the only thing you'll get are negative comments from "evil MC" fans, and claims that you're deceiving readers.

Desolate Fate is a re-write of another novel called A Desolate Life. I'm basing my review on ADL, which I read all 256 chapters of. This is a better written xianxia then most of what is available on webnovel and other sties like royal road. It avoids the bad tropes and cliches common in other cookie cutter stories, yet still stays true to the genre. The world building and cultivation system are consistent, and you can tell the author has done a lot of work behind the scenes to make everything feel purposeful. The story takes follows the protagonist's rise in the cultivation world, as well as his exploration of his mysterious past. Each volume is a satisfying story arc in and of themselves, while all still progressing the meta plot. The first few chapters contain foreshadowing for a reveal that comes 250 chapters later, while not feeling out of place. The main character definitely grows and changes throughout the chapters. The main character starts out as young child, forced into a "righteous" sect that has killed his family. He struggles with his anger, and the conflict of wanting to get revenge while not going too far. His innocence is broken and for a while he becomes a lot more demonic, which can turn away some readers. The villainous lead tag is there for a reason. In his heart of hearts though, the MC does not want to be a killer, or evil. He is forced by his circumstances for a while, but eventually works towards gaining redemption.

A fine cultivation novel, which clearly depicts the cruelty of the cultivation world and also shows the main character's inner struggles beautifully. It's very different from those cliche cl novels, where hot-blooded Mc's just go running around chasing dumb cats and offending arrogant young masters. All in all, I have enjoyed this novel thus far and hope it stays the same.

Here I go giving my own novel a 5-Star review again...;) Desolate Fate is a rebranded/polished/reuploaded version of my first novel, A Desolate Life, which has four released volumes. Most of my readers have told me that the novel gets better and better as it goes along, and the feedback from the end of volume 4 was amazing. Rewriting the novel should fix all of the minor issues some people had with the earlier chapters. This is a dark novel. It is tragic, grim, and shows the darker side not only of the cultivation world, but of life as a whole. The protagonist starts off as a naive young kid, but he gradually changes throughout the novel as he experiences more of the world and comes to realise that his life is not as mundane as he had once believed... I gave this novel the anti-hero AND villain tags for a reason - the protagonist changes. He is not outright good, he is not outright evil. At times he clings to morality, at times he becomes a villain in the eyes of everyone around him. If you want to read a dark, serious, somewhat philosophical cultivation novel, with plot-twists, and a main character who experiences both success and failure, then this is the novel for you. A have a solid plan for this novel, in terms of world building, character development, and many crucial plot points. To my old readers who are here to read again - welcome back! To my new readers - welcome! I hope you'll give this novel a chance, because I am committed to seeing it through.

Since then, the world of men was dominated by witches, establishing the seven witch kingdoms, which safeguards at the forefront of the demon invasion. In order to survive in the matriarchal society of the witch kingdoms, Vaan, like all other men who cannot use magic, had to learn how to service the witches to survive. Nevertheless, it did not come without its own benefits. Years of research have led the world to the discovery of intimacy between men and women could increase the witches' mana absorption. But at the same time, men could absorb some of this mana to improve their physique and lifespan. Thus, since then, an intricate relationship was formed between men and witches in the red-light districts. Love became casual, and dual cultivation is common. As a prodigy in the art of pleasing women, Vaan lived a smooth two years since his transmigration as an orphan. However, everything came crashing down in a heartbeat one day when his life was nearly taken, and Lady Eniwse whom he served went berserk. Even so, that was not the end. With the awakening of the Witch Hunter System, watch how Vaan takes on the world and becomes the lord of witches. ===== Genre: [Mature Content] [R-18] [Smut] [Magic] [Witches] [Demons] [Spirits] [Dragons] [Beasts] [Reincarnation] [Adventure] [Action] [Mystery] [Academy] [Weak-to-Strong] [Scheming MC] [Harem] [System] [Servants] [Slaves] [Smart MC] [Alchemy] [Forging] [Misunderstandings] [Game Elements] [Kingdom-Building] [Overpowered MC] ===== Note: Contains lemons.
