This is a little different from typical transmigration novels. When we are introduced to MC in the first few chapters, he is already OP with photographic memory, great sword skills and a clear mind skill that allows him to see through others’ muscles, bones and minute movements. He has a bodyguard job that seems a little low level given his prowess. He has encounters with several beautiful women, who are awed by him. Men jealous of him send him challenges to fail miserably. It’s an okay read, but I wanted to see more of MC’s will/ motivation. In essence, I am not convinced by what drives him to do as he does.

Maybe he did it for the girls. Acting a pig eating a tiger seems fun. Lol. Is he bodyguard to the emperor at least? In this type of situation, it needs to be a comedy; otherwise, there really pointless to have so much power and not put it to good use.

Is this a very easy read where lots of MC awesomeness but not much sense on it?

He isn't OP as there are a lot of people that are stronger than him. He is just stronger compare to bodyguards. As his power increases he leaves his job as bodyguard and becomes Chief for the palace.

No, he uses his brain a lot and he isn't OP. there is schemes and tricks instead of just trash face slapping. there are also intelligent enemies that he has to use his brain to solve instead of power.

I would like to disagree with you review. First, He isn't OP. OP means Over Powered as meaning that he can crush everyone with power and that isn't the case. He is stronger than is fellow bodyguards but compare to the world he is in, he is nothing. Second, He isn't getting girls left and right and face slapping Men like typical novels. I can tell that you haven't read more than 50-100 chapters as the story is widely divergent from the way you describe it later in chapters as he has to use his brains to defeated his opponents and even uses them to reach his goal. Third, I think it is stated in the early novel that he was monk and returned to secular life to enjoy beauties, fame and fortune. I mean that is what all Men strive for isn't that enough convincing of what drives him? You can even tell how he is trying to get every beautiful women in his harem *Spoiler* Later there is character development in which he actively chases only one woman. So changing the reason why he is trying to become powerful. It is for that woman because only if he powerful he can help her.

So, it would be good if you wrote how many chapter you have read as this review has led to many miss informed readers causing them to give up before even giving chance to the novel assuming it is typical cliche novel

That's great to know. I have only read about 170~ chapters of this novel, where the book was still clearly in the early stages. The initial bit about getting all the girls in his harem made it worse for me since it's not a convincing motivation to get stronger (it's good to know that he chases after one woman later because I don't like strong harem novels). Just to clarify, I meant MC is OP relative to other classic novels where MC starts out as a "trash"- I meant it in a positive way since I am very tired of the "trash" to "genius" trope. Thanks for detailing what happens in the later part of the novel- that's super helpful.

Review:- The novel's cultivation system has not been described in detail yet, so I'm not gonna talk about it right now. MC of this novel is cool, calm, likeable and doesn't put on any airs. He is ambitious but not reckless. He seems to be the kind of guy who always takes calculated risk and always keeps a few cards hidden so as to meet exigent cirumstances head on. He is also a decent guy, not like Fang Yuan, etc. He is a scholar before transmigration and after too. He doesn't get any fortuitous encounters or meet any great sage. He reads, understands and draws inferences from scriptures to develop his powers. Other characters in this novel are well etched out too except his rival who is annoying. Female characters don't fall for MC left, right and centre but they are not the kind who are malicious to plot against the MC for no reason either. Maybe such characters might show up in the novel later on, considering the novel is 3000+ chapters long. In other words, this novel has female characters who behave like people in 'real life'. Plot moves at a leisurely pace- which I believe is the reason it's not popular- but doesn't get repetitive, the author explores the various aspects of the world as the novel progresses. The fights are grounded in the current arc but it will get Xianxiaesque in future chapters I suppose. The world is based on feudal China with sects on end of the power balance and the Emperor on the other hand. Overlall this is a really good novel to read, if you are tired of other cliched novels on this site but I gotta warn you that it takes time to hit the spot. If you are looking for a good non-cliched- no arrogant young masters lining up on the death queue, no fortuitous enocunters growing on rooftops, etc- novel, you should probably give this one a try.

Sleeping Glutton: Soul Collector

In the year 2015, strange portals began to appear across the earth. As despair desolated armies worldwide, humans with abilities started to be catalogued all over the globe. Lukas was born the same year. After his birth, they did a test and discovered two abilities. Telekinesis and Pyrotechnics. Medium strength abilities, but they were two abilities. Two abilities made Lukas special. But even though he was supposed to be "Special", nothing different happened during his entire childhood. He had a quiet life until his teenage. After going to sleep one day after staying up most of the night studying for a test, the first nightmare woke Lukas from his sleep. "A dungeon? But I have never been inside one before. How could I recreate it so perfectly?" Nightmares were strange indeed. After that day, every night was the same: Deaths, monsters, something he had never seen before with his eyes. But it was all there, in his nightmares. And it was all so real. The nightmares went on for weeks until something different from his monotonous routine happened. A "real" nightmare that caused Lukas genuine despair. A cry of despair was followed by a soft, gentle female voice speaking in his mind.
