It looks like luck because you're listening to him. He is role-playing as a joker. If you listen to the girls, especially Alpha, the story is different. Even that red-headed princess who blames everything on Shadow Garden and not the cult seems right in a sense because every action that happens is under his control. You listen more to Cid, so you believe his way of viewing the world is the most honest and correct one, but he is crazy. Why would you believe anything he says?

i think you misunderstand. the mc has a duel persona that makes you think he is playing around but really he is manipulating everything from the shadows. i think every misunderstanding is only there to throw off the reader and projecting the troupe back at us.

i say these mcs are winning. what is more likely to happen being born the metaphorical stupid's person in the world or winning the loto? they always find a way to make the imposable posable.

here's the results. Jiang Yu, a high school student, was devastated after failing his final exams. However, his life took an unexpected turn when he suddenly awakened the Ultra-rich Cultivation System. The moment Jiang Yu gained consciousness, a mysterious voice echoed in his mind, presenting him with a new mission. He was instructed to reach the Immortality Phase within a mere five minutes. Failure to do so would result in a harsh punishment, including Nine Turns Divine Soul Elixir and the forfeiture of the Dojo of the Sacred. Feeling trapped, Jiang Yu reluctantly accepted the challenge. But just as he started to contemplate the task at hand, another mission was thrust upon him. This time, he had a slightly longer timeframe of ten minutes to achieve immortality. However, the punishment for failure was even more severe, with an increased amount of Nine Turns Divine Soul Elixir and the loss of not just one, but two Dojos of the Sacred. Overwhelmed by the mounting pressure, Jiang Yu couldn't help but question the system's motives. He voiced his doubts, expressing his lack of motivation to work hard after being burdened with such unreasonable challenges. Jiang Yu's journey was filled with uncertainty as he struggled to balance his studies and the demands of the Ultra-rich Cultivation System. With each passing minute, he delved deeper into a world of cultivation and spiritual enlightenment, encountering formidable opponents, mysterious artifacts, and ancient secrets. As time ticked away, Jiang Yu's determination wavered, but he couldn't escape the consequences of failure. Pushed to his limits, he discovered hidden reserves of strength and resilience within himself. With the odds stacked against him, he vowed to prove the system wrong and achieve the impossible. In this thrilling tale of self-discovery and perseverance, Jiang Yu embarked on a quest for immortality, defying the odds and surpassing his own limitations. Will he rise above the challenges imposed by the Ultra-rich Cultivation System, or will he succumb to the weight of his failures? Only time would tell as Jiang Yu pushed forward, determined to rewrite his destiny and unlock the true potential within.

I define great stories being the great wars, waring state, mission, and the orgin story of ninjutsu. Yours seem to be anything that revolves around naruto, so of course you would want to stay close to that place. If the great stories were truly just in konoha there would be no need branch off to places like the moon. Every thing would be birth form there.

i feel your down playing a swordmaster

base level ryujin jakka is just a wooden cane at best a nomal katana.

the times must have change for people not to understand the true power of Dao of brick

then what happen to first form frieza and if you are always limiting yourself it will be harder for you to break your limits,

that's not even true. the "great" story mostly happen outside of the village.

almost every word out his mount start with well senior. is that how you talk to your elders?

The body refining stage has 5 levels? 1. Iron 2. Bronze 3. Silver 4. Gold 5. Diamond 6. Jade

wishfully thinking

i'm tired of this Martial Aunt Miao Yue story line. you would think the romance elements would focus more on the ML and FL and how him and his master contrast or mirror each other. No just some evil witch smiling in the background. if she don't turn out to be the shadow/darkness and the master have a hidden backstory this will fall flat.

what's stopping them from still using those "vicious method" to erase him from history.

mc fails at exerting his dominance

but when? and what time?
