The story is sooo repetitive, always the same schema. 1st there is a problem, 2nd there is MC which everyone thinks of as an incapable fraud who cannot solve the problem, 3rd MC enrages the others even more, 4th MC slaps faces of enraged people by cheating with his library to solve the problem. Repeat this several times with different characters, settings and occupations, that's all till chapter 270... Characters are really shallow, even the MC lacks personality. He has a greedy personality, likes to slap faces and loves to teach his students. Other than that he lacks natural talent and is only omnipotent because of his cheating library, which is kinda sad. That's basically all you can say about him and no real characterdevelopment happened so far. The characters capabilities grow, but only because of his cheatcode and not because of experiences. The world and characters/animals lack descriptions. Often new characters/beasts and so on are only introduced with 1-2 sentences, so it's hard to get to love those faceless characters and plain settings. Certain parts of the story are lacking any logic. Sometimes the omnipotent MC deduces things so detailed, that I wonder why the surrounding characters didn't straight away burn him on the stakes because of witchcraft, but they just accept it with pale faces... Other times the timeline is totally messed up. Until chapter 270, 20 days passed and in this time he read millions of books, but if you run some numbers with #books read and time needed to flip a book, there is no way that could be right. TLDR: repetitive story with shallow characters/world and illogical parts.

my thoughts exactly. Try reading "release the witch" ,demon's diary (slow but awesome ,never repetitive and great plot twist , and the mc does not have anythig apart from brains , even the villains have brains and not just arrogant idiots ), monarch of evernight

RTW is my favorite! Lovable characters, great story with plot twists and great world building. Everything is described to the last detail, so that you can even draw a detailed map of the world in your brain or imagine the distinctive look of every single character, beast and demon. Whereas here are just rough mentions like 'kingdom xy is 10000 miles away' or 'howling firmament beast looks similar to viriscent eagle, but bigger', which is really sad. Aside from RTW, Coiling Dragon is also great, but doesn't get much attention anymore, since it's long finished

Coiling Dragon the life of Linley, from his childhood until *****hood (>100years). He is a member of a once great clan, which is now near its extinction, which he wants to prevent and lead the clan to glory again. After some time he finds an old unseeming ring, but which in reality a powerful artifact and contains the soul of a once powerful mage 'grandpa Doehring' and so his journey begins. He will find great companions (humans and beasts) on his journey and on his way to revive his clan he will have to solve other subgoals and releals more and more about the real history of his clan. But his journey doesn't stop with his initial goal and he travels with his wife and friends to other worlds linked via gates. Since the story spans over more than a hundred years, it doesn't feel that hurried like e.g. library. He doesn't have an omnipotent system, except grandpa Doehring who guides him a little bit in the beginning, but not later on. Linley has great talent from the very beginning, but only got discovered due to Doehring. He is more the type who works hard and gets breakthroughts due to his own effort (sometimes several years needed), which is really satisfying. It has a nice romance plot incl own family development. Character development is great and the story is really entertaining with exciting but also sad parts and plot twists. Descriptions are really detailed like in RTW, so you can totally immerse yourself. Imo definitely worth a read. The ending felt a bit rushed, but everything prior is great.

The world of Coiling Dragons contains magic and martial arts and typical beasts derived from normal animals, but also dragons and other fantastical beasts. Sry for spelling errors...it's hard to type on phone ^^

read "A Record of a Mortals Journey to Immortality" if u don't want cheat codes, the best novel for anti cheats... MC name is HanLi that Doesn't have : Aptitude - he learns SLOW Face/look - he's average Sect - none, he's just a nomad Parents - they're just mortals Luck - lol he have the worst, all the teacher/master who wants him to be their disciple have ulterior motives and wants him dead , he even needs to reset his cultivation NOT just ONCE just to have a higher chance on advancing his cultivation bottleneck ... The only problem on ARMJI is that he's below average that he's so slow learning things and cultivating that's why a lot doesn't like the novel but for me it just made me like it more hehe... the story is just like the title it self ARMJI~

I honestly think that this is one of the best stories I've read so far, and I've read a lot. Everything about is well-thought and unique, (little to no tropes) and it never felt dull and it was all fleshed out. This has been a popular story for a while. So I recommend and suggest you read this story, here's why: Translation Quality: The translations are great, (as expected from Qidian) and the story makes me laugh as the protagonist smacks the faces of people who underestimated him, I've seen little to no errors at all concerning grammar or punctuation and it makes it easy for you to understand what's happening. Updating Stability/Speed: It ticks me off since this story is one of the best I've read so far, I constantly wait and there are many other people like me out there. 1 chapter everyday for 5 days in a week isn't enough, taking into account the quality of this story and how brilliant it is. Thought the updating speed isn't good for those impatient, the stability is true to it's word. They always update every day which is enough for me. World Building: It slowly builds up and doesn't just throw a bunch of information at you expecting to have to have powers like the main character here (unless you do). The build up of the world is decent but it just doesn't explain enough really about the roles and the other places other than where the main character is. It just gives you the information you need where you are. Character Design: The characters are well-fleshed out and their are no characters being introduced that are basically just 2-D with no personality. They all have a role and even if they play a minor one they are mentioned a few more times later on in the story. The characters develop throughout the story and don't just have the same personality. Story Development: The plot of the story is very interesting as it is, I've read many online and translated novels and this barely follows any tropes, (you can't expect there to be none with so many stories). It also goes at a decent pacing that is persistent, (he doesn't just rise 4 realms in 1 go). You can expect the plot to be great as it's very unique, I was always wanting more and it never felt dull. You can expect the story to be brilliant and splendid, you will always be on the edge of your seat! I rate this 4.6 stars!

At first i really like how the story start and how the protagonist teach his students. The face slapping also really funny. But, the charm is disappeared after hundred of chapters. The story is so repetitive and bad that i drop it. The story always using same formula in every arc. He come to some guild or school, get bullied, using plot armor to solve his inadequacy, help important people, face slapping everyone, rinse and repeat. After get famous in that place or school we will get clue that the level of the place or the school is not that great and the protagonist need to go to much higher level kingdom or placs. Sadly, The story is only boil down to that formula. Moreover, the characters development is really lacking and only superficial. They only boil down to increase cultivation level and get charmed by main protagonist cheats. There is no gradual or proper characters development. The characters emotion only revolve in envy, jelousy, agitation, and shame for antagonist. On the other hand, the students always underestimate the main protagonist, after that get help by main protagonist cheats, and they get charmed and reverenced. The timeline also ridiculous, in 300 chapters we get 1,5 month of the main character life. Every day he will go to someplace and face slapping every people using his cheats. But he always think, i need to hide my cheats. There is no romance in the story. What we get is always typical beautiful famous xianxia women. She will underestimate mc, get face slapped, change of heart, and get forgotten when the mc go to other kingdoms or places. When he arrives at new place, there will be new woman with same characters but only higher background. There is lots of major sort comming of the story but you get the basic idea. Typical power leveling xianxia with blantlant plot armor to solve main character predicament. Mix it with bland antagonists and side characters. I really can't fathom why this story is the first rank in the qidian power ranking.
