Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Ye Xiao was a superior cultivator in his previous life. The three factions of the realm kill millions of people every time they attempt to seize cultivation resources. Wealthy towns turn to wastelands in just a single night. They cover up their crime with an assertion that the towns were suffering from pestilence and disasters.
They forcibly hold all the resources for cultivation, monopolize all valuable practice materials, and keep outsiders from cultivating so that only their three factions could cultivate in the realm. Ye Xiao declared war against the three factions in retaliation for their actions. He fought alone and ended up dying in vain. However, he is reborn into the mortal body of a 16-year-old boy. He will use the powers he cultivated in his last life and slaughter his way back into the Realm. The story begins!

★ Otherworldly Evil Monarch. Will have to agree that these two novels are absolute masterpieces from FT, specially TTNH which is my most favorite novel, which I'll very very very very HIGHLY recommend to everybody. Now... to Realms In The Firmament, judging from the authors other works, my expectations of this novel is really high and until now. The latest translated chapter, FT didn't disappoint me in the slightest. Although, the story seems somewhat similar to FT's previous novels, but what I can understand from the plot of the story. I think that this story too will be equally interesting like the other two novels, as well as it's story line will be vastly different from the previous two novels. I will update the review, when I find the time to finish reading all the raw chapters. UPDATE: CHAPTER 1431
As I expected FT didn't disappoint my expectations at all! From what I've read until now, the plot of the novel is completely different from TTNH & OEM. Throughout, the first arc of the story the MC uses politics and plotting to survive as he isn't strong enough but the action (fighting/killing) starts as soon as he gains the strength to fight. Like the author other works this novel too has fulfilling romance, the female leads are not two dimensional or pea-brained, they have their own unique personality.
Also, how can we forget the comedy... FT's funny bone at action yet again. This novel is completely different from other reincarnation themed novel. This is the first ever novel where we explore the problems of reincarnation and it's effects on the characters surrounding the MC.
"What will happen if everyone finds out that you are a reincarnated soul in the body of someones loved ones...?" Did anybody explored this topic before? I don't think so... and this very thing makes this novel that much unique and interesting than other reincarnation based novels.
The side characters and villains are as expected. They are not dumb and s*upid. The little s*upidity they show is to add the element of comedy in the novel that's all. As for the MC's motive for cultivation, I think it's all reasonable... I mean what will you do with power and immortality if you can't be with your loved ones. What use is being powerful if you can't protect your loved ones with it or exact revenge on your enemies?
There is slaughtering but its not mindless killing, it's necessary slaughter. Those who don't like real novel with real plot and only wants s*upid, arrogant MC characters with mindless slaughter, I urge you kids to go elsewhere. (Go read PMG or MGA or something)
1) Overused reincarnation plot
2) Have almost identical characters with Fenglin's other novels
3) Some 'not-so-clear' explanation about cultivation
4) Godfreakingdamn slow, seriously it's slow, 1st volume ends in about 800 chapters. Pros
1) Reincarnation plot with a big twist and the 'problems faced by a reincarnated person'. (More at spoilers section)
2) So much plot twist that you would just go 'wow' and you would think that this stuff is truly plausible yet very unpredictable.
3) Lovable and awesome characters, be it the protagonists or the antagonists.
4) Humiliations? As per this novel, the best kind of humiliation is not by making the antagonist look weak and powerless through a fight, but by words. Yes, words. By spouting a lot of bullcrap that seemed logical at the same time, MC had beaten a lot of his foes and gained a lot of allies. He had humiliated almost everyone that faced him to the point of ruining their lives... without even lifting a single finger of his hand.
5) New kinds of opponents, I mean, not just some random arrogant guy from a rich family/powerful sect. Of course there will be someone like that, but some opponents are really fleshed out and innovative that you would think that their actions are very logical, which well then be countered by the MC with another illogical yet logical move. Ex. the current arc, crown prince and YX flaming everyone.
6) Build-up that is so much worth it! Some buildups could be as much as 100, 200, 300 or even 1000 chapters long, however, once the climax of this buildup was reached, that's the point where you'll see how great Fenglin is. He's done it with ttnh, and I think he has done better with ritf in this part.
7) Xiao Monarch! What else should be the best pro of this novel? Of course, it's the somehow narcissistic bastard that seemed to be a Japanese MC (at first, mind you) yet having a brilliant mind that would give the readers a wow each and every time he exposed his cards in hand. MC is just awesome and that's a big part of why I liked ritf as much as ttnh. Here's some more distinct stuff which contains heavy spoilers:
Here goes~
1) Technically, Ye Xiao's soul was transferred to another body. And this was one of the biggest plot that the author 'spoke of' during the story, Ye Xiao was an orphan in his prior life, and he's now another person but, once his original self was revealed, what about him telling his body's parents that he's not really their son but the Xiao Monarch in the fable? What if his parents from his former life showed up? Put it simply, this is a big plot device that is exciting and I hope the author can pull this off well. Emotions are truly a marvelous topic~
2) Albino (White-clothed man/leader of house of the chaotic storms), one of the best antagonist out there. And would probably even better in the future. (I'm guessing he'll be the end novel main antagonist. Remember Diwu Qingrou from tthn? Just like him but a lot more epic and awesome. Rather than hate him, you would actually love him as a character.
Ok, as for the proper review, this novel is simply amazing. I enjoyed it so much because the plot and the plot twists are just too awesome. One thing is, please be patient with the tl and as soon as we hit the 150s, many people would realize that the epicness of this novel would be almost at the level of transcending the nine heavens. Fenglin is such a good writer and even though ritf have bits that were imitated from his previous works, the way he put in the plot and new unique stuff to entice his readers is truly magnificent. Not to mention his wittiness, a lot of parts are hilarious. A chapter about a cat and eagle meow and chirping to each other? Golden Comedy! :D Read this novel and I'm sure you won't regret it.
Extra spoilers for hype, don't read this if you don't want to be spoiled too much.
Some lovely Spoilers:
Characters:
Ning Bi-Luo and his principle, "I would not bow down to anyone." If anything, Bi-Luo is not just a simple old guy, and he would have a big part in the future of this story. His principle made Ye Xiao unable to totally make him his minion, and in fact, it somehow made them brothers.
Ye Nan-tian, Best father! "If my son died, I'm going to destroy this kingdom!" He literally rushed out of the war just for Ye Xiao. He's a really great guy, and although his screen time was rather minimal, he still affected a big part of the story with just his name alone.
Song Jue, this guy is awesome too, XD, he pushed the MC to get a concubine which was the best grill of the novel!
Su Ye-Yue, the mo qingwu of this novel, enough said. Well, ttnh plot has definitely been copied here. "taken in as a disciple by an epic/godlike person" But there's a big plot twist about it. And it should be built up... once it's written.
Zuo Wu-Ji, who would've thought? He's this novel's Mo tian Ji! Ye Xiao thought of him as the smartest guy he had seen, and was just pretending to be a 'foppish fool'.
+1 Bonus: Ice (Xuan Bing) we're still 120 or so chapters away from meeting her but she is, and will always be, the best girl of this novel. Well, she's 70% the reason I'm still reading this. She's a peak powerhouse even stronger than previous Xiao Monarch that almost died and got saved by YX with a plot twist
She regressed to a 6-year-old child because of her severe injuries when YX saved her. As days passed she grows up quite fast (not body, but a growth in mind and attitude), from 6-years-old to a shy teenage girl, but her memories has been sealed, she became YX's concubine, and by concubine, yes they did. :P PS: She crawls on YX's bed and is very adorable. Even more so, in the 1.3ks when they meet again with her memories intact.
What is the purpose of cultivation? From this novel, I don't see any reason for him to cultivate. Want to know why? Because all of his opponent jumping rank more than 3-4 rank so the main character just use political sense to avoid troubles, but? Its terrifyingly exaggerated the political basically from the start of the chapter until the end of the novel.
If you've actually read the novel you would know. The reasons are given early on:
1. He needs peak level 3 to enter the "sky city", where his lover and friends are.
2. It's dangerous to stay in the city at a low level, so he needs a higher level (level 6) just for safety.
3. He wants to be reunited with his fiance who was taken to a realm higher than the "sky city", and he needs at least level 9 to get there.
4. He wants revenge on the 3 main factions, i.e he wants to personally slay them. For that he needs at least level 7.
5. He wants to be free from all oppression. For that he needs as high a level as he possibly can get.
Your complaints are completely off point, I'm wondering if you've actually read the novel you're reviewing. Politics make up less than 10% of the content. Most of it is just routine character interactions - fighting, sharing information, exploring etc, as in any normal wuxia or xuanxia novel.
The translation isn't very good. I have much to say about it but mods will just delete whatever I say (as they have done), so I won't say it. But it's not very good. Highly recommend you read the original text if you can.
Similar to OEM in terms of writing, characters and setting. Can't really compare the story since I haven't read OEM much yet. MC is a typical hero, protects the weak, beats the bully, etc. All in all pretty standard fare. The bulk of the text is on character interactions rather than cultivation. A lot of things are over-explained, e.g "X thinks this, but Y knows this" and pointed out over and over. If you are forgetful I guess this is useful, but there aren't many characters in the story.
- There is a harem, and there are s*x scenes, though it progresses extremely slowly (think hundreds of chapters between s*x scenes). It's there if you look for it, but most of the text is occupied with other things, like fighting and talking. Lots and lots of talking.
- Power progression is slow. It takes over 250 chapters for the MC to enter Sky Realm (level 3) whereas he was at level 6 before he died. Over 400 chapters later, he's still at level 3. It takes over 1000 chapters for him to regain his former power, although he surpasses it quickly once he regains it.
- His previous life portrait him as a PROUD person however in his 2nd life he acts like a dumb kid seriously!
- He had both memories of his past and present life but still act idiotic person for the sake of comedy that is what I hate. Its a FORCED COMEDY! And Author forgot the present memories
- FORCED PLOT! FORCED COMEDY! And again those overused CLICHE. Seriously?!
- Harem plot sucks. You can easily figure it out.
- Author forgot MC cultivation most of the time. It confuse you.
There is many more of this novel downside although the character background/development is quite good The reason I rate it as 1... more>>[Warnings: Spoiler tags might contains stuff from the raws.] I have mixed feelings about this because my overall expectation was high. I must say overall, I really enjoyed this story a lot, and would have rated it a 5 if not for the ending. Overall, I'll divide the story into 3 "arcs", each corresponding to one realm. It'll make it more clear why the final rating was a 4 instead of a full 5. Arc 1 — 4.8/5 "Young Master Ye from the capital"
Great beginnings with extremely wonderful expectations, and did not disappoint. This section covers the reincarnated MC adapting to his new body, as he try to train and ascend back to his original realm (which is one realm above the one he reincarnated to). In my opinion, the strongest point in Fenglin Tianxia's writing is the cunning of his MC's. When they are weak, they come up with the most entertaining ways to get through their tough situations. Lying, bluffing, tricking, etc., you name it. These MC's are oozing with charisma. In RotF, MC is no exception. He might be more dense than Chu Yang (TTNH) and Jun Mo Xie (OEM), but he's still quite quirky in his own way. This is especially apparent during this first arc. Arc 2 — 5/5 "MC goes back to the realm he comes from"
Personally, this is my favorite arc of all. I mean, all of the first arc was to prepare for this, and this was so, so well done. So much character development. Especially fun when you meet the old friends of MC who he had known from before the story started. Still a lot of bluffing and tricking, but this part is a lot less political in nature, as MC grows stronger so can depend on more physical force than pure cunning.
What I want to especially praise, is that the author actually raises the question a lot of us probably wanted to ask when we read CN's: why does no one care MC has basically taken over someone else's body? Well, here, it actually addresses the whole issue about reincarnation MC's, and all the problems that comes with it. I won't spoil the plot, but trust me when I say it had been done well. Arc 3 — 3/5 "MC goes to the higher realm"
The arc, especially at the end, was extremely lacklustre. I think author did not plan further than the first two arcs when he wrote this story. You can tell that the author had been trying to just get everything done and wrap the story up.
The author himself has, in fact, said he was extremely unsatisifed with this story. That the writing was "unnatural" for him. Hence he was "glad to have ended it". He said that, after some point he did not feel like he wanted to continue, but knew he had to do a wrap up at least because if he started he had to finish it. While I was reading the last arc, I indeed did feel this clearly, especially towards the end. It's a shame really, because in my personal opinion I think the author did great for the majority of the story.
