First 100 or so chapters were decent. There is an interesting setting, somewhat, an interesting MC and a reasonable but not over powered cheat. In most cases, novels with these three elements tend to become pretty popular over time, and the same should have happened to this novel if not for the author's shitty ability to plan for the future. Like most Chinese novels, our MC here gets a cheat, but one that is barely related to combat, or even personal growth. All it does is promote animals he captures into higher level monsters, that the people in this setting eat, to increase their stats. That's it, the promotion is done over a long period of time, and only one monster at a time, so i wouldnt even call it a cheat really, at best, its just a minor passive stat growth cheat. We come to a point where after eating a few more higher level beasts, our MC practically starts evolving, gaining skills and talents that he didn't have originally, skills that just so happen to be required to resolve the situation. In the first 100 or so chapters, this isn't really a problem and is still within the acceptable levels like most other wuxia. The problem comes AFTER he goes to that BlackHawk place. Nearly every single chapter after that point is complete bull crap. Random tournaments, Random sports, Random talent. All of a sudden, a stupid sounding sport is introduced out of butt fucking nowhere. There is no foreshadowing, it was never mentioned in the past 100 chapters. Just as instantly, our normal MC, with just his base strength alone, displays "incredible" talent, for this sport, that came out of nowhere. The sport/competition or whatever isn't even complicated. to illustrate, out of nowhere, there's something called black and white boxing, but when you read the description, and if you're not a complete idiot or water army, you will realize that IT IS SIMPLY ROCK, PAPER SCISSORS. Rock Paper Scissors that HAS TOURNAMENTS, SPONSORSHIPS, worshippers etc. To make matters worse, this does not happen once. It is repeated over and over again. From "warframe" piloting, to "heavy warframe" piloting, from "ärchery" to that hand game. over and over like a stupid as hell routine. From the brief and pointless introduction of said sports, an equally brief introduction and display of a random supposed super talented kid at said sport that again came out of nowhere all of a sudden, the usual whispers all around looking down on MC, the usual face slapping/ ego crushing when MC is suddenly a GOD at a game that neither he or the readers have ever heard of before that chapter, the sudden worship and attention from big figures, the big rewards. At this point, I feel like it's not that the MC is super talented out of nowhere, it is just that the universe he is in, is also occupied by God level idiots. The less said about the stiff, awkward and dumb as fuck "romance" the better. Am i salty that this novel somehow has 4 stars and above? not really. i just makes me lose confidence in the humanity.

Has the exact same thoughts. Out of nowhere, MC just became super talented in everything. If he has a cheat that enables him to learn things easily, I would understand but this is just crap. And the author does not even explain how he can just become so freakishly good in everything thing apart from his fitness index which is not that impressive compared to others. And the romance too, it's all, let's eat each other's face. Not only that, in regards to the romance or his interaction with women, he is a combination of a ****boy and a simp.

Bruh. I am with you on this one. The only more upsetting thing that this novel's quality is the fact it took me (and, obviously, you) so long to see through the charade and drop it. Like, I kept reading and reading on, like its some great stuff, even as I was perfectly aware how crappy pretty much every aspect of this novel is. Spent nearly a week on it, if you can imagine! Indeed, the simplest things are most addictive :(

if you read more than a hundred chapters you would see but there's a lot more to it than that. I'm 1600 chapters in and I'm still in shock how the story manages to progress and expand even more and more in a world that's so amazing. many characters and much growth for all of them. the world is so expansive and full of mystery and the writer's ability to keep the universe going in a way that captures your imagination continuously I find is really refreshing. by far one of my favorite books of all time now. wish I could find a way to get a hard copy

first thing : I enjoy this novel the reasons : - the MC s poised, he keeps his calm even when he is insulted, as he needs to protect his family, so far he's the only that's really done that in what I've read, at the same time he doesn't let weaker people step on him when it shouldn't happen - the MC is not a complete cheat like existence like it often happens, there is a system but everyone has access to it. so far there's only one time during which it can be said there's plot armor (the stone) - In the "cultivation world" there cannot be the intervention of someone overwhelmingly stronger as they go to other areas after becomming strong enough and they can't come back, I think it is great for the stability of the novel, and it enshures there won't be a ridiculous jump in strength coming from nowhere for the MC - the world building has started in the 70ish chapters, so don't worry about it, in any case the novel is likely to have more than 600 chapters (or so I think - in any case it does have a great potential in terms of number of chapters) the last point leads to me criticizing the haters : how THE HELL can you criticize a novel on its world building when you've only read as few as 10-20-30 chapters ???!? are you for real ?! I mean, seriously all the novels I've read on Qidian so far are bound to have hundreds if not more than a thousand chapters, just give the novels a chance to grow and set a foundation for the characters before the world, you are just being ridiculous otherwise, it's like relying on first impression to categorize people, it's nonsensical Thanks for reading me :)

The world is advance where a slightly rich friend can have a personnel jet that can be land in front of people courtyard without any freaking rule to disallow that I mean what if the jet malfunction and hit the building , people can die from any random explosion just because the stupid decision human can make (at least explain that the jet is automatic or have set pattern of air highway since it's the future ) the author don't even describe how futuristic the world is like how the gadget and tool efficiency .Now the current story is just a forced Xianxia in a Sci-fi world which is F*cking terrible with no story development about how normal civilian is given right to even go to the *mysterious space called God’s Sanctuary, where lived numerous unknown creatures. Here, humans will make the greatest leap in their evolution to create the most glorious epoch in history* quote from the synopsis , IT'S JUST A NEW DIMENSION OR A POCKET REALM ,THE STORY DON'T EVEN TELL YOU HOW DO THEY EVEN KNOW IT'S A SPACE AND NOT TELEPORT SOMEWHERE ELSE. THERE ARE NO SCIENTIST AT ALL JUST FORCED XIANXIA IN THE FUTURE WHERE TECHNOLOGY IS USELESS INSIDE THE SPACE AND SUDDENLY ALL PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT OTHER DYING BECAUSE OF STRONG MONSTER AS IF IT'S A GAME .OH WAIT IT IS HALF A GAME BECAUSE THE UNWORKING TECHNOLOGY SUDDENLY BECAME A SYSTEM THAT CAN MEASURE EVERY UNIT OF GENE AS STAT THAT IMPROVE YOUR MARTIAL ART'S POWER (GENE DON'T WORK LIKE THAT AND GENE DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH SOUL SO THAT MIRACLE LIKE A BEAST SLAIN SUDDENLY CAN GIVE YOU ARMOR WITHOUT EXPENDING ANY ENERGY FROM ANYWHERE JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE LUCKY ARE STUPID!) The character literally don't have fear in this world as if everyone just got out of world war 7 and don't care people died by them or to be precised just next to them ,until the author find it convenient to make them scared or traumatised(oh my just like it's normal to see someone dies in battle again'st raid boss note:RPG) there are no real true professional for hire that can be find here like mercenary , assassin/bounty hunter , SOLDIEEEEERRRRR that is send there to investigate but college people who just learn a little bit of martial art is send there as if every government want it's people to live past 500 years for no cost and everyone can teleport in and out within a convenient room for everyone each , the teleport room have no cost and tax doesn't exist in this world. I'M DONE
