Hi everyone, this is cele, the translator of this novel~ About the synopsis, it's translated from raws, so I'll be leaving the author's synopsis up. TL's synopsis will be here for now. Qingyun Zi was betrayed and murdered. Just when he thought that everything was over, he wakes up in a new body, the body of a silkpants named Ye Yuan. As he embarks on a new life, he struggles to cope with the loss of loved ones as well as accept his new identity. Unresigned to his fate, Ye Yuan resolves to make his way back to the top while hiding his identity from his old enemies as he plots his revenge. How did he revive? Will he be exposed and die with countless regrets? Was there a mastermind behind all this? With all these questions and more in his heart, Ye Yuan resolves to seek out answers as he uncovers a darker plot behind all this . . . This is a short spoiler free (I hope) review from me. While some people will be turned off by the genre, or because they read a few chapters of MTL, I'll just state maybe two major selling points for me which differentiates this novel from the other eastern fantasy novels out there. Firstly, as the title suggests, alchemy plays a major role in this novel. While many novels also have alchemy, the MC's life basically revolves around alchemy here, which is different from how alchemy is normally considered an auxiliary skill. The MC here views it as much more, which he also proves later on in the novel (multiple times). Rather than mindless fighting, I like a novel that touches more on the other aspects. Second, and I feel that this is by far the biggest selling point for me. THE MC IS NOT A HOMICIDAL MANIAC! He doesn't go like: "Hey you, you had a lewd face when looking at my wife no. 69, I'll kill your entire family and revive your ancestors to kill them as revenge. Then, I'll extinguish all karma threads tied to you, killing everyone that even remotely knows you!" AND THE BAD GUYS HERE ARE NORMAL!! They don't go around killing people for some stupid reason. They worry about repercussions from going overboard! These people weren't dropped on their heads as a baby like those arrogant mass murderers who will slaughter entire cities because someone looked at them funny. They are actually people that you can like! To me, it's like a breath of fresh air from those madmen in AST or MGA. Yeah, so, a good story is about delivery rather than the idea anyway. So don't skip it just because of its genre. I won't go any further in detail to prevent spoilers. Just drop me a message on webnovel discord if you have any questions. I'm online on discord often. *shameless 5-star reviews for myself.

Alchemy isn’t a cheat code to give the random MC sword cultivator a non-sense boost in power? The bad guys are more like real ppl and not the classic retarded young master? You Sir, got me to read this ****. hope it will hit well in QI :D

Thanks for sharing! I hope it was clear i wasn't attacking the author/translator, it was more of a fun way to mock the numerous reviews on many novels on this website that blindly vote 5 stars, contribute nothing to the discussion and more often then not are completely based on nothing but the cover image.

I'm the editor btw. And to add up on the details, read around 100 chapters, and see if you enjoy it. I didn't get hook till around 70 or 80.

A good amount of chapters? Will try to negotiate for some initial mass release :) Of course, it's not gonna be like 99love with 100 chapters :P That's too much for us.

Will have a main heroine or harem?

RegiusProfessor

Hmmm... Good question. I would say even up to chapter 100, there's no clear indication of a main heroine or a harem in the making. He's busy with strengthening himself and on revenge. Maybe later on?

Let's f*cking boost this novel up to a million votes before sunday and let it win! YEAAAH! By the way, are there any comedy in this or is it just a serious novel? I love it when authors can make jokes at times, it makes it much more interesting to read as you get a good pause from ******* and some laughs. Well, anyway, it's certainly worth a read if what you say are true.

Oh, and it's really interesting how the mc supposedly have enemies after reincarnation from his past life! That's sure to be interesting.

Ikr! That premise reminds me of EEWC. If you're into xuanhuan with female mc.

Comedy? I won't say so. But maybe a bit? More to face-slapping moment. And it is really satisfying.

Thanks for the hard work and the great review! Quick question: what is a silkpants?

RegiusProfessor
RegiusProfessorTranslator

Yeah. The main character also knows when to back down and when to make a move. He's rational and not guided by impulsive emotion. And the villains... Many of them are not like entitled mindless slaughtering young masters which is a common trope.
