Alright, first thing you need to know is that this is not your usual xuanhuan/wuxia novel. There are barely any cultivation, there are no 3-chapter-long description of the MC ****** a breakthrough. If that's what you're into, this novel is not for you. However, when placed into the category of western fantasy, this is amazing. There are no info dump, no made up stuff popping out of nowhere, no clumsy dialogue that are way too long just to explain something ******. In short, if you have read and enjoyed novels like Harry Potters, Percy Jackson, etc. you will enjoy this. The story is well planned out and most of the details are done deliberately. There are certain details that seems illogical at first, but as the story progresses, everything will be explained. For example, at the beginning, MC broke into a noble mansion, despite all the noises, no guard showed up. It seems stupid, but it all makes sense as the story progresses. The pace of the plot is very well done, each arc is like a book, it starts out slow and easy, situations occur, then hints are provided, the story will steadily move toward the climax, then the aftermath. The world is building is great, everything is mapped out since the beginning. There are no typical cliches such as the opening of a new realm/area that no one ever heard about. Anything the MC done will be mentioned again and have certain degree of impact over the development of the story, unlike in the normal chinese web novel where once an arc is finished, it's completely forgotten. The character development is decent, the MC's personality is realistic. A 18 years old virgin is certainly going to go stupid for beauties. It's stupid to expect a teenage warrior to behave like a master strategist from the get go. The MC started out as an ****** perv. His love for beauties got him into troubles that gradually reshape his personality as time goes. The side characters are mainly members of his harem, but at least they're concious about the fact that harem is bad. Other than that, their personalities are quite distinctive, different from each other and not just copy and paste. The antagonists are most of the time not a single individual. More over, the antagonists are not necessarily bad, and the MC isn't always right. They all have their goals, or reasonable motives. They schemes instead of using power, they don't rely on their background, they don't go crazy from "losing face", they also dont yell "you're courting death" every 2 sentences. In short, they aren't retards. Other than that, there are references from a bunch of different mythologies, as well as manga. It ranges from Norse myth, to Greek, even the Bible, the MC also literally goes super saiyan once in a while. Did I mention breaking the 4th wall?

LIKENice review, another reader thanks to you. And, btw, the "lose of face" actually is a thing worthy of going crazy for, or it is for them at least. Though they do use it at horrible times and many, many times in most novels...and yeah, the unending "You are courting death" when either they are obviously in the wrong and every1 knows it, or they are crearly getting their a** handed to them by the MC is outright retarded and used as much or even more than the "lose of face".
Thanks for the review but a haram is not bad it is a matter of like or dislike some like the idea others hate it. If many woman get into a haram with a dude it simply means they like the dude enough to tolerate him having many women. Some women don't even mind it as long as they could be next to the dude. As for it being right or wrong depends on the person. Like I personally like harams and in the past I'm guessing that's when the story takes place this was normal. Women understood capable men have many women.
Yeah, âyouâre courting deathâ is quite common cuz it a direct translation. Trust me, all the ancient chinese drama seriesâ have people saying that, especially those jealous female concubines or heiresses lol
