Not everyone wants to live a life filled with fame, riches, glory, and honor. Some, just want the easy life. To live a life that simply plays itself over and over, with a hint of spice here and there.

To our young hero Yun Xi, he felt his calling for bread. He did not want to be the Godly Swordsman of old, nor the Majestic Immortal Emperor. He just wanted to be a plain-old breadmaker.

Yet, his dreams are crushed when he is given a revelation of the stars. From now on, how will his life change?

First of all the rating I am going to give is 5/5 for the story while 4/5 for the translator. The novel really is awesomely epic because rather than a person trying to have a cliche goal like becoming stronger, or protecting others, it's the other way around he need to become stronger not to protect others but to protect himself. Also the novel is quite satisfying to read because of the lightness it gives. Also the girls that are chasing him really gives lots of good comedic scenes.

As for... more>> the translator, the translation is good, but the releases aren't that great.
overall 5/5 the story is like a new type of genre you'd be able to read. <<less

Harem novel,

Good concept but dont like harem that much

Literally the written manifestation of boiling a frog until it dies; quality kept getting worse and worse but sunk cost fallacy said No when I wanted to stop reading early

Although it was pretty funny watching MC interact with harem members it started to become repetitive

... more>>
Spoiler

And then that whole seed thing was just... No

[collapse]

If you like MC's that pick up women like they're rocks on the side of the road, including yandere enemies, then this is for you.

I do not like this though

Overall 2/5 <<less

Well I really love this novel but I am bothered by the poor work of the author made when it comes to narration, first he should have choose quality over quantity when he wrote about knights under the MC since there are only a few who had any screentime with the MC and have a good reason why they like the MC.

... more>>
Spoiler

I really hate the hydra arc of the novel since its just making short lived characters that will never be seen again despite being a good heroines themselves, although I love the Trap arcs of the story this really tickled my fancy, traps and girls will never go wrong no guilt unlike Yuri's

[collapse]

Also the the children of his from his past lovers makes me think badly, although they had no blood relations but he's the father of them before so its just weird sweet home alabama I guess. <<less

The story is very good, different from the usual chinese cultivation / eastern fantasy novels, the characters are well fleshed out, the plot is inventive, you never know where is going next. MC is not OP, and actually the main female characters are stronger than him, and, best of all, he is not overbearing, righteous, selfish nor arrogant like most chinese MCs. The world building is great, also.

Unfortunatelly it's not perfect. Sometimes there's long stretches of chapters of padding, it's like the author inserted short stories in the middle of... more>> the novel with almost no relation to the plot or sometimes adding overlong minor side-characters back story.

Adding to that the translation, although good, is very slow, considering the chapters are very short, making me fear we will never see the end of it.

Update: Be careful, as of 09/2020 the chapters links redirect to fraudulent/scam sites. I hope translator cames back from the dark side soon. I would hate it if this novel's translation ends this way. <<less

describing the novel is feel like smelling your own shit. You know that is worst but the smell is familiar. Not bad not good. The idea is extremely good compared to other Chinese novels and feels fresh. I love Yandere characters and this novel main feature is also Yandere. Most of arcs are quite useless and took a lot of chapters and MC is f*cking dense and be careful of that. And no CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT and only a little.

I will Repeat There has no CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. F*cking suck. Really f*ck... more>> up novel.

novel is really good if you guys are a fan of yandere this novel is your choice. <<less

The translation has good quality.

The novel, however, may not cater to everyone.

The novel started out good, interesting concept, interesting character, and somewhat mysterious storyline. The novel doesn't lose these particular aspects even to the point where I stopped (temporarily, and I may continue reading it after sometimes even if it's not to my taste because my motto is to always finish what I started).

As I go further in chapters, the interesting part is starting to get overshadowed by the writing style, the girls monologue is written in shoujo manga style... more>> (like when a shoujo main character is played by some handsome guy/her love interest, their heart goes flowery, fluttery, and sweet, too sweet, that it keeps away someone like from enjoying the oversweetness). I can tolerate this at the beginning, but as I read more, there's always this kind of stuff in almost every chapter, reason being, the MC can't stop "seducing" random girls.

Imagine reading this variation of sentence in every chapter.

"He's so sweet, handsome, I can't help but having my heart swayed, my body feels hot, and my heart goes doki-doki when I am near him." by every F*cking girls.

These kind of monologue is fine if it doesn't exist in every chapter, but hey, at chapter 120 where I stopped, this kind of monologue becomes unavoidable because MC just made a harem with 30+ girl, and apparently everyone in that harem is h**ny towards the MC and the author apparently felt compelled to write what they feel towards the MC.

That's point one..

The second point would be how loose and unrestrained MC is toward every girl he met, he's clearly shooting himself in the foot.

Spoiler

The story began because MC is being hunted by his 4 ex-gf (All of them are Supreme being), and his position post-reincarnation will be revealed when he's 18 yrs old. According to my knowledge at the time of writing, MC was a handsome loser (Starchild) that didn't dare to choose one of them as his bride, to the point where those 4 GFs worked together to kill MC. At first I think that's how it went, but after going through the chapter, MC may have another problem, he loves seducing girls, and wants to OWN them, and he can't even stop it now because of the convenient situation that "starchild love system" always gives (He asked the Stars to make this "cheat" system before his death.)

[collapse]

Third point is, how clearly the author trying to shove his foot fetish and other niche stuffs like genderbending, foot fetish appears every now and then, and because it's usually short it doesn't really affect how I feel, however it's not the same for the genderbending. The genderbending lasts somewhere around 50 chapters, I can tolerate this if this is for short one time joke, but not so much if it lasts this long in the story.

"The girl's skin is white like polished jade. Her small foot gives a sense of cuteness."

I may change this review when I decided to read more of it (and if this review even editable to begin with). <<less

I started reading this prob a year ago....i think.

It's interesting at first but the time to get the story to developed or translated... is beyond the human lifespan.

The author and translator will most likely make some crappy-rush ending. If not, the story will never finish at the rate its written and translating. Translating is going snail pace while writer is going at turtle speed.

I believed I dropped this at about 100ish chapters or earlier. Only wrote this review caused I saw the updates again and wrote this review to let... more>> ppl know that it will most likely not worth going into this story. <<less

Eh it's okay.

I rather like the concept behind it, and parts of it are great fun to read, but it has a few issues.
    • For the large amount of chapters there's really not much story progress that happens. Many of the fights just get dragged on for too long.
    • Not a big fan of the Trials concept. Basically 70%+ of the novel so far takes place in dreams where the MC grows stronger but there is very very little progress in the plot or relationships during this time.

      Well in fact there IS progress in the relationships, but it is almost all reset since everyone else barely remembers the dream upon waking beyond vague impressions.
Love the MCs personality, love the base plot revolving around trying to avoid getting killed by girls that love him, and the cross dressing doesn't really bother me since I thought it had a logical reason.

But about midway through the 3rd Trial I just started getting bored knowing it was like 100+ chapters that were about to get reset soon.

Spoiler

On a side note I feel the stars are trying to teach him how to make a harmonious harem instead of the warpath he has always walked.

Which is interesting since it's the opposite of most of these novels.

This is the type of novel that should be right up my alley: Basically, Yun Xi discovers that he is reborn and is actual a child of the stars. In his previous life, he was a hopeless philanderer that made four extremely powerful yandere gods love him, and currently they are looking for revenge against him. Yun Xi has to go on a journey to become more powerful to face them, and the key to doing so is planting a seed in different girls that allows them to share powers... more>> with each other. The seed also makes the girls fall in love with him as well. It combines a fairly interesting plot with a yandere harem, which should be an easy five star rating, but I knocked off a star for two reasons:

It feels like the romance is developing way too slow. There are a few scenes with his childhood friend who is a pretty big yandere, but it seems like the girls who like him aren't actually trying to chase Yun Xi at all, and their romance is barely developing (even though I've read 500+ chapters).

The 2nd problem ties into the first one: the plot moves exceedingly slowly. There are side arcs that take over a 100 chapters that are pretty interesting, but barely push the plot forward. We haven't seen the yandere gods at all yet, and despite being 500 chapters in it still feels like the prologue. <<less

Good, but not really what I was expecting. This novel is good, but for some reason I was expecting more slice of life and slow living. Perhaps even a Star as in like an actor or something. Instead, I got thrown into cultivation nonsense.

I like cultivation nonsense, and this seems well written and translated. Just not what I am in the mood for at the moment so maybe stopping to review a little earlier. Wanted to put this out in case others get the wrong impression from the summary.

The tags... more>> are so numerous they need a TLDR. <<less

The novel has an interesting proposal and started well, but instead of running away from the yanderes, the MC is dragged around and doesn't even try to escape.

I expected a story of cultivation mixed with comedy and persecution (with him trying to escape the old and new yanderes). But in fact, romance is more like a dating simulator in darksouls, where the MC gains power-ups by interacting with the girls, increasing the harem and farming souls.

The word "sword" is repeated so many times, what the f*ck lol. I swear it's like every second line and is mind numbing.

Let's hope the writing gets better as the premise isn't bad at all.

*chapter 3-4

... more>> What the f*ck is going on, how does anyone follow what's happening, so lost.

*
Okay the cross dressing, when it first happened and how it happened I found it hilarious... that was until I realised he'd be doing this for a long time... So It's not bad but it's not good either, still a fun story though.

Last comment I'll add - the only major qualm I have is that the author repeats himself way too much, words, phrases it's a little mind numbing so it makes you skip text a lot.

But because it's pretty funny and interesting it's rating is anywhere between 4.0 - 4.5 <<less
