Let me start by saying that every other review on this novel is skewed and pathetic. None of them are impactful or meaningful in any way. Most of them are people saying "good novel" "I love it" "it's so good!", no one ever bothers to go into depth about why it's good, and there is a reason for that. It's not good.
When we first start reading the novel, we're introduced to some Immortal/God type character, he's cold-hearted, ruthless and calculating. The type of character you'd expect to find in an action movie flick, kind of like if Jason Bourne met with Bruce Willis. He really had that kind of badass attitude. It saddens me to tell you that we do not get to keep him. The author kills him off in the very stereotypical way with these cultivation trope novels. There is always some form of conflict happening otherwise the plot wouldn't move forward in the beginning. The main character we end up with is a whiny, sniveling, perverted, NTR-magnet with no actual "character". The entire time during our first introduction with this character all we see them do is whine and complain about how crapy their life is. The character moves forward and happens to stumble upon his "plot armor" which is all so very stereotypical of these cultivation novels. I'm not gonna complain about it at this point because, since when did originality matter in writing? The MC then proceeds to basically pat himself on the back by saying how amazingly awesome he is and how this was all preordained or some other nonsense. Words cannot describe my emotions as I'm reading these first 5 chapters. The character is absolute trash. Whines about how bad his life is, finds plot armor he didn't work for, calls it destiny and then proceeds to take credit for said destiny by saying he deserved it all along. Calling it self-delusion isn't enough at this point. This shows lack of effort, lack of creativity, lack of planning or even forethought on the Authors part. However, at this point, I still give the Author the benefit of the doubt, he might be able to pull this utter garbage out somehow if he's a talented enough writer and, the fact that he has over 200 chapters published on an original novel would support that idea. I was utterly wrong. I skipped ahead to the most previous updated chapter which was 255 at the time. What I found was the exact same whiny, perverted, arrogant, antagonistic, trash main character that was at chapter 5. What this tells me is that there was absolutely zero emotional or mental growth from the main character in 250 entire chapters. I think to myself that maybe I missed something, so I decide to look at the comments for the first few chapters and low and behold, I find an entire community uprising in the comment section. Scores of readers are begging the author to rewrite his novel and get rid of the horrible and trash main character that he has. This still isn't enough for me though. So I go back and pick a random chapter out of his novel and read it. What I find is not only the same horrendous main character, but I also find that every single side character in the story acts in the same exact manner as the main character. They all lack a moral compass even for a cultivation genre which is known for its ruthless storylines.
What this all sums up into are a few very obvious facts. The Author does not listen to his readers. The Author does not understand or care enough to learn how to write a character with morals. And this entire novel is basically a 12-year-olds wish-fulfillment fantasy. I am under the assumption that this entire novel is a joke and the author wrote it for the specific reason of seeing exactly how far he could push the envelope.
