The MC has no personality he only knows how to cultivate, with no emotions or goals. At one point, he's reincarnated and has a close sister chosen to bear a demonic sword. The MC knows this is dangerous but does nothing to stop it, letting her be taken away. She dies, and the author briefly mentions her death in a few lines, never bringing her up again. The worst part is when the MC is about to leave one world for another, and the author casually mentions he has a son, in just a few lines as if it's no big deal. The MC never showed any interest in romance, yet suddenly has a child. This is mentioned once, and the child is never brought up again. The MC lacks purpose, feeling like a robot focused only on cultivation. The novel is simply disappointing.
Overall, the novel is average to good, with a unique world-building and the typical writing style of Awespec's novels. The beginning was extremely confusing; I had to read it twice to grasp the basics. The battles are exciting at first, but become unbearable later, as the protagonist only fights animals and reflects on his abilities. The worst part is the power system. It's the worst I've seen, truly awful. The stats (strength, dexterity, etc.) are impossible to understand; the meaning doesn't match the name, the author invents a bunch of BS and expects us to memorize it. The problem worsens when he adds math. Some chapters go like this: "this skill is 20% less than that one, but there's an item that gives a 0.2 buff, then the skill is reduced, but dexterity is multiplied by charisma and added to the actual power of the skill, unless you use Madness, which makes it 15% of the skill." Imagine several chapters like this, without advancing the story. It's unbearable, and it gets to the point where you can skip almost the entire chapter and still understand what's happening. The MC has shown no remarkable traits so far. What I get from him is that he has a huge ego and a lot of arrogance, with nothing to back it up. In GAB, at least Ryu has something to support him, as he is better than gods in certain professions despite being mortal. But in this novel, the MC is not anyone important. I'll continue reading because you can see the effort the author puts into the novel. It's definitely better than almost everything on this site. But it falls short in terms of the power system, character development, and over-explanations. If I had any advice for the author, from my point of view, it would be to simplify as much as possible.
