Filled with mo lei tau slapstick comedy, a StephenChow-esque MC and a varied hilarious cast of characters. Hit or miss depending on your sense of humor. It's NOT a cultivation novel with training arcs and fantastical fights, so if that's what you're looking for you're in the wrong place.
4.5 out of 5 stars as of c140.
EDIT:
Dropping it down to 4 stars as of c340, which may still be generous depending on what your bottom line is. Plot development is a complete mess after c200, sounded like a mix of author being caught up in real life and getting writer's block. Novel trended towards oversexualization and several taboo items come up which is very disappointing. Comedy drops off dramatically, and the trolling becomes nothing more than MC parading his harem in front of other people to get Jelly Rage points. Lots of filler creeping in. Major spoilers.Literally nothing happens after the dimensional expedition arc. Instead of developing existing characters, author keeps introducing new women (courtesans, or existing character who suddenly has multiple personalities) and shoots himself in the foot when he realizes he can't develop them well. All the previous women keep appearing for 1 chapter and disappearing again as author tries to juggle MULTIPLE relationships at the same time and fails miserably.
Author's overemphasis on Qin Wanru (MC's mother-in-law) is pretty messed up.
It was still ok as an initial joke about her being a mature woman targeted by older men. But author set up way too many s*xual encounters between MC and his mother-in-law, from seeing him naked (after MC recovers his s*xual function) to constantly feeling distracted since the joke was that his d*ck is huge. Although MC doesn't actually have s*x with the her, this development is really messed up and uncomfortable. Starting to wonder if author cratered to some reader demands for s*xual fetishes.
The aphrodisiac trope and sex-to-save-a-life trope keeps coming up. Again, and again, and again. MC can apparently only initiate s*x with his women through these tropes, which is just f*cked up, a huge red flag and completely destroys MC's suave character.
MC slept with his wife to save her life since his "essence" can help cure her broken meridians.
MC slept with his maid because she got hit with aphrodisiac.
MC slept with a scheming harem member, because she got hit with aphrodisiac.
MC has a s*xual encounter with an innocent harem member, because she mistakenly consumed the SAME aphrodisiac.
Are you f*cking kidding me?!
Author kept promising 2 chapters per day, which is an insane amount of updates. Might be a newbie author mistake. Eventually author couldn't live up to expectations so you start seeing a LOT of filler... basically lengthy descriptions of MC's harem in a different wardrobe or long paragraphs discussing their body parts.
Holding out hope it starts to turn around...
Here's the rough tally by c450. I can't even rem their names anymore... that's how ridiculously huge the harem cast is. MC hasn't slept with several of them yet, but by the sheer amount of screen time, innuendos, s*xual encounters and constant reappearances, it's probably going to happen.
(1) Main wife, cold and aloof.
(2) Main wife's younger sister / i.e. sister-in-law, I'm guessing it's supposed to be the loli type, but author avoided this probably due to worry of ban, MC is waiting for her to "grow up".
(3) Mother-in-law (got hit with the usual aphrodisiac trope, but recovered at last minute since author gave up due to threat of novel ban).
(4) Main wife's busty friend.
(5) Main wife's elf maid.
(6) Ex-scheming adversary turned lover, with all kinds of voyeur/public kinks (netorare since she's engaged? flagging here since someone keeps removing my novel tags).
(7) City lord's daughter, supposed to be the artsy type.
(8) Principal, mature working woman type.
(9) Teacher, mature old sister type.
(10) Medicine girl, some innocent young thing that caters to MC's fetish to bully her.
(11) Courtesan, I guess geisha type? Also supposed to be the artsy type. No idea how she's any different from the others anymore.
(12) Randomly inserted (pun intended) emperor's younger brother's wife who's also an elf, so now author is duplicating characters. I believe it's called netorase (something like "Indecent Proposal" 1993)... someone keeps removing my novel tags so I have to directly flag it in the review).
(13) Scheming adversary's daughter.
Reminds me of another disaster "Ancient Strengthening Technique".
@dysry's review is still legendary, and applies to this novel too.
I also have to agree with @DevilKat on several comments. MC relies on deus-ex-machina all the time after the initial part of the novel. Immediately after resolving a danger and being forewarned/suspicious of other dangers, instead of preparing for it, MC becomes an utter dumbass and just screws around for more erotica. MC is saved by the people around him, or random last-minute draws from the System. Rinse and repeat.
Extremely disappointing.
SUMMARY A keyboard warrior/troll MC Zu An (it's hinted he works in IT) is transmigrated into a cultivation-based world. He inherits the weak body of a youth with a mysterious background, and is immediately embroiled in a web of political conspiracy. Armed with nothing but an unusual trolling System, Zu An must find a way to survive while making his way up in the new world. COMMENTS (1) Mo lei tau nonsensical slapstick humor
The novel pays homage to a lot of HK slapstick humor.
If you're not familiar with the style, as per Wikipedia, "Its humour arises from the placement of surprising and incongruous elements, and the complex interplay of cultural subtleties. Typical constituents of this humour include nonsensical parodies, juxtaposition of contrasts, sudden surprises in spoken dialogue and action and improbable and deliberate anachronisms." It's NOT satire. MC is designed with Stephen Chow's "Hail the Judge" (1994) in mind, a weak protagonist that has to survive using his mouth and wits. In this instance, Zu An has to antagonize people around him to build up Rage points that can be exchanged for powers ups with his System. Thankfully author knows MC's limits on which buttons can/cannot be pressed, and his sense of humor is way better than "The First Order" (2019), which was just full of deadpan Your-Momma jokes.
Not sure why there was a comment about MC being a psychopath or mu*dering people in cold blood. His enemies made multiple attempts on his life, and were planning to cripple/sever his limbs and r*pe the women around him. Killing/torturing them to farm Rage points isn't all that bad. MC even had to counsel one of the female physicians around him not to be too kind to enemies since it was constantly getting her in trouble. MC's harem members are entirely unique, with distinct looks, personalities and abilities. More importantly they are usually stronger than the MC, which makes a hilarious comparison to the Jin Yong classic The Duke of Mount Deer. The rest of the cast members are designed similar to some of Stephen Chow's most famous side characters (Gabriel Wong, Uncle Tat, Kingdom Yuen, etc).
-- Cheng Shouping, MC's inept attendant that's lazy and frequently retorts to the MC, plays a similar role to the one Gabriel Wong in Flirty Scholar, Fight Back to School.
-- Qin Wanru, Chu Family matriach, resembles Kingdom Yuen/Pei Pei Cheng who plays similar violent deadpan matriachal roles in Stephen Chow films.
-- Ji DengTu, a pervy middle-aged physician and one of MC's harem member's father, is reminiscent of Uncle Tat.
MC's wife reads romance novels titled "Sweet Pampered Wife...", which pokes fun at the fact that majority of modern webnovels have similar names.
Everyone has weird pun-like names that would be hilarious in modern times. His pandering pervy schoolmate is called Wei Suo, which is a homonym for wretched.
When MC is told by his schoolmate that there's a ranking list of 10 School Beauties, MC complains about boring decades old tropes being recycled. The schoolmate retorts that even so, people still enjoy and clamor for it. MC reluctantly agrees.
Character names are often puns of their character design/personalities. MC's sister-in-law is Huanzhao, meaning she tends to fight back/be prickly. A busty harem member Pei Mianman carries the word "man" or "full", in reference to her endowment.
This is the iffy part for the novel. While it's entertaining that the cultivation world blends modern elements due to interaction with different species and dimensions, it doesn't always hold up well. Author might be trying to emulate "Gintama", which blended historical drama with sci-fi elements. When it works, it's absolutely hilarious. I appreciate the ton of adult humor... finally something adults can read.
MC obtains a "Heiress Ball of Delights", which is a joke on the urban legend that rich bored housewives would have a special steel wool scrub to use on their boy-toys. It's a reference to S&M and MC uses the ability to remain at near death condition without dying.
MC's body is sealed (reference to A LOT of other xianxia novels), but comically the seal affects his p*nis and he can't get it up. The harem members around him typically make fun of the MC for it, treating him like a harmless gay friend which pisses him off.
-- Women are supposed to be sexually conservative (widows/divorcees are looked down), but somehow wearing sexually suggestive clothes is ok.
-- Technological gaps are filled in with runic powers and formations. There's abundant Ki energy in the air to be absorbed, but there's still a heavy reliance on basic industry and labor. Wouldn't you just extract the Ki as a power source for industry?
-- The academy arc is weird and unstructured. People of all ages can attend, there's no set curriculum. And based on the description, the entire academy consists of just 4 classes... even though they are the most reputable academy across multiple prefectures.
-- MC's System random power-ups can become too far-fetched and don't blend well with the story.
E.g. a skill that temporarily forces someone to acknowledge him as a "friend" is ambiguous and doesn't have any benefits. A torchlight that only shines when it's bright was forcefully applied in an undead scenario when the environment JUST happened to be a place that was lit.
It's a copy of Stephen Chow's "Tricky Brain's" (1991) where a lot of the gags are one-time use and don't fit very well in a cultivation world.
These are just a few of those odd world-building elements that don't always make sense when meshing cultivation and modern science.
The novel follows Zu An, who transmigrates over to a world of cultivation that somewhat resembles the Tang Dynasty. He obtains a keyboard that demands him to earn 'Rage' from people, which he can use to draw a lottery and obtain items to make him stronger. The concept is similar to I Really Am a Superstar, just that for IRAS case, he earns points through popularity instead. It's a slightly dark, comedic novel with a serious plotline. Many of the interactions arise from Zu An trolling people mostly through his words and actions. It uses quite a lot of dark + quirky + ecchi humor, basically, just imagine a typical keyboard warrior flaming others in the forums. Main Character:
Like a typical keyboard warrior you see on the internet, Zu An is not the most upright of people. It's not like he's downright despicable either; he only harms people who have made outright attempts on his life, but he does 'squeeze' them dry to earn their Rage points by doing all sorts of things. If you can't stand dark humor (and dark humor tend to not be very moral), you could get triggered reading the novel (Proceed at your own caution). Personally, I do think his antics are pretty interesting and funny, though I honestly don't bother thinking more deeply into it because I think of it as satire, and I don't think dark humor is not meant to be analyzed ethically either. Story Development
There are a proper storyline and world-building, and rather than having lots of fighting, there are more politics instead. It's a world of cultivation so there's bound to be power levels and fighting, but there are a royal court and rules in place. Strong cultivators do get additional privileges (e.g. They get high official positions) but there are no mindless slaughters around since there are power checks here and there. There's definitely a bit of political intrigue in place, but it doesn't go full-blown in there. Other Characters
There's also quite a bit of ecchi scenes in place, so yeap, a lot of beauties around Zu An. Personally, I don't really like ecchi, so some scenes do make me cringe a little, but overall, the ecchi scenes are at least still inserted logically for me. What I mean is that there aren't cringy ecchi scenes that exist just for the sake of it (i.e. A random gust of wind blowing, or the MC falling over and accidentally touching a place where he isn't supposed to touch). The female characters aren't flat either. It's true that some of them do have ecchi moments with Zu An, but they do have a place in the novel. They don't just exist to be a waifu/foil. They have their own places in the political intrigue, and they have their own character and relationship (be it friendly, tense, close, awkward, etc.) with Zu An. As for enemies, most of what we have in the earlier chapters are mostly foils. This is a novel about a keyboard warrior, so you can expect him to troll his enemy. In the earlier chapters, most of the enemies are mainly small fries who are there to be trolled badly. Of course, these small fries do serve a purpose too since their actions do hint at the political intrigue behind, but basically, they're cannon fodder (esp since the enemy does underestimate Zu An quite a bit initially). It does get more serious later on though, when small fries become big fries. Adding On
Also, just saying, Zu An isn't really Mary Sue in the sense of how I understand the word. Most characters do actually despise him (since he does say lots of weird stuff), including most of the female characters he gets involved with. Well, he's described to be handsome, and there are people who like him. However, being universally well-liked is definitely not a trait for a keyboard warrior. Also, Zu An is a self-acknowledged simp, though it's not as if it hinders him from tr*shtalking.

- the MC is really ret*rded, he got an op body tempering cultivation technique (he needs to be beaten to lvl up) but he literally never trained it, and the author always mention the pov of MC thinking he should train it, but he never does, his current level is because he receives hit in fights from here and there and some fruits from his system cheat, but after a time these fruits are like useless because he needs TONS of them to make any progress. anybody with common sense will hardcore train it since its easy and doesnt require resources just some healing potions and he can affor potions since he got rich.
I didnt mention things like plagiarism and the aphrodisiac things and some other things which I find pointless to mention. All in all, this novel is average in subtle words, in blunt words it's not worth it. I dont recommend, it was disappointing and frustrating with lots of mistakes and contradictions. <<lessfrom the Emperor, to Dark Elves, to secret sect, to f*cking Vampires, to Sci Fi meteor
2. The Harem is very satisfying. Each girl has a diffrent personality, which makes the conversation with the MC smooth. And not some weird forced conversation where the girl only talks to give information to the MC.
3. The Plot is pretty good. It wasnt boring, and im really hooked to see whats going to happen next.
4. It wasnt a detailed 18+, But still enjoyable
5. Even when the fight is pretty satisfying. The annoying part is the MC keeps getting underestimated by his mother in law. But im glad it stopped at 400 ish. Overall, 5/5 Novel.
- Fleshed-out characters
- Complicated harem and relationships
- A smart and shameless MC
- A cool system (rage points)
- Humor
- Perfect balancing of OP abilities and plot
- Intricate schemes and dialogues
Of course the novel has flaws, but I did not feel them lessen my reading experience
