This is a generic fast-food-you-offend-me-you-die xianxia novel, although this is to be expected from the author of Ancient Godly Monarch. At first we learn that the mc has woken up in a classroom and that the teacher(a generic beautiful female)is scolding him for being a bad student and falling to the lowest of the low in the annual (perhaps)exams and he is due to be expelled if he doesn't get better marks,oh and guess what,the beautiful teacher sorta-likes him and trusts that he will pass the annual exam (Super spoiler- she has a crush on him) But she asks him some questions and we get to learn that OMG the mc is very knowledgeable (we don't learn about how he learns all of that thought) And after that we learn that he has a friend or perhaps a best friend that is supporting everything that the mc does and it's still 16 chapter and it still doesn't tell us why the best friend is so trustful and helpful towards him And then we learn that he has a childhood friend named qingxue and there is some sort of friendship between them,but due to being told by some friend that the mc doesn't have much of a future and won't be able to make her happy,she abandons him and find chad/Tyrone(typical douchebag). Till then all of this was fine but literally,the author pulled out another girl out of his seemingly huge ass(that magically has a good and favourable memory of him) [TLDR - Legend of Futian is good, although not much better than agm or te,it's leagues above ln's like mga,atg etc and the translator is very good at his work and never makes more that one or two mistakes per chapter]

LIKEIsekai aren’t all that bad.. well technically, most isekai are made for people with a certain hobby, syndrome and weird illness. But some of them are definitely good! *cough* definitely! Jokes aside, they’re on the same level as typical wuxia and xianxia, most have the same template, some very cringy, too illogical that it’s just stupid and bs, but there definitely exist some masterpieces hidden between all those trashes. It’s just that it’s harder to find good isekai since they’re mostly tailored for kids while cultivation novels looks like they’re for slightly more matured but is still aimed for kids thus the biases.. *cough* I definitely didn’t try reading a bunch of different isekai only to end up in hentai section and weird stuff nor did I try finding a good cultivation novels only to end up in a world of douches, Assholes, Rape and so on.. *cough*

I understand what the reviewer is saying. I personally have read hundreds of pages and tbh I'm getting a little bit confused as well as irritated with the novel. From the beginning it's very good and the plot flow is good too. Later on, there are so many repetitions, and it began to seem like it's more or less about the MC's sidekick than himself. Even one of his friends is stronger than the mc to me in terms of personal growth. He author seems confused as to what his novel title is.
