Not a bad novel. The plot is pretty good compared to a lot of Xianxia, there’s some humor, all of the protagonists are relatively likable, and so on.

That said, it never feels like there’s any sense of challenge or struggle since the MC already knows everything. Also, the female characters are a bit shallow and their relationships with the MC are a bit weird (old man pursuing a 13 year old girl, basically forcing the family to marry her to him etc. In fairness, he does resolve himself to not... more>> do naughty things until she grows up some more).

Apart from that, 4/5. It’s not a masterpiece, felt like giving it 3/5 (mostly because of how he treats the main romantic interest (s)), but overall I have been enjoying it so far. <<less

Yue Yang (LLS) > Nie Li

I prefer the secretive liar Yue Yang over the arrogant brat Nie Li who doesn't even show respect to his elders. Just because of his accomplishments he decides to turn his grandpa and his family's head errand boys.

He might have over thousands of years of experience and knowledge due to that book but his lack of respect for people is appalling.

This is definitely one of my favorite novels out there! The story is set in 'Glory City', a big town surrounded by walls and beyond the wall lies the world filled with demons and other races living in seclusion. So basically, this is an awesome story about a guy who once lived in Glory City before it got destroyed by hordes of demons. After a big fight with an enemy, he died, and got sent back into the past of when he was still 13 years old still living in Glory City before it's destruction...

[collapse]

I rate this novel 5/5 !! It's really good and I recommend it to anyone who likes OP protagonist with harem and alike. <<less

Garbage harem fantasy novel if you like this you would like ATG too both are same showing off OP unlikeable MC journey, characters has no personality with no character development. MC luck is huge with his constant power ups and plot armor. Author keeps showing how awesome MC is and repetitive plot.
Spoiler

MC can skip many ranks to challenge higher lvl enemies with his all knowing from previous life bullsh*t

[collapse]
you guys should do yourself a favour and read ISSTH instead there is no crap harem in there with girls constantly falling for MC, author writing is deep and has philosophical elements a very good knowledgeable literature.

Wow this is a really good reincarnation Xianxia. The plot moves quick and gets straight to the point with him reliving his life and trying to grow his power but without shortcut/cheat power ups. His growth is gained through his knowledge from his past life! We don't get a lot of pointless dialogue, everything moves through clearly. A really intelligent and like able MC. Since the MC clearly has past knowledge and uses everything to prevent his future from happening, it's very enjoyable. The author does a very seamless blend... more>> in exposition, world building and dialogue, very nice read. <<less

Typical xianxia story were the MC is gifted with life changing powers. It has better storytelling aspects than most xianxia novels, but the plot so far is mostly the same. MC get powers owns a bunch of people and gets a harem. If you hate this kind of plot then sorry xianxia isn't for you.

The novel's story is very enjoyable overall. I especially enjoyed the chapters before 100. Nie Li is a character that knows everything, so by the time he gets famous, his tricks really get old. Not only that, most of the characters are very two-dimensional. Part of that is due to the author's writing style which doesn't really get you into the story. The other part is that the characters aren't well-developed. I think that the character with the most development is Xiao Ning'er. Ye Ziyun, for the most part, is... more>> not developed, but now, her character is getting more attention. Before, to say the least, she was pretty annoying.

The most annoying part of the story is the author's writing style which makes Nie Li seems way too condescending. The way he writes it at some point makes me feel like what's the point of telling the story if Nie Li can predict everything that will happen.

However, the reason it is a 4 is because the other elements are so good that they overshadow these mistakes. It's sad that some characters like Lu Piao and the other main friend got forgotten mostly. <<less

5\5 so far

Dont let those who give this low ratings mislead you. They think this story should be like one of the dime a dozen stories out there all about lvling up, battling and more lvling, and more battling like the endless amounts of boring shounen.

This is a FRESH, interesting, fun and enjoyable story. The main character has a nice personality that is much like the story, hes not some wimp who complains, crys or does the s*upid childish “justice” thing. The harem in the story is not a normal... more>> annoying harem where the MC picks none, or all of the girls. Instead he has one girl, the others just crowd around and we get to see relationships ACTUALLY BUILD over time instead of instantly and magically appearing. Theres more, so much more, the enemies are smart (thank god), the other organizations/parties in the story are also smart, well placed and well done.

Basically, its a well done, fresh and different story.

*some people mention their ages and how it doesnt seem right... but people forget that 16 was considered full grown adult in the past, and 12 was marrying age, and the on the path of adulthood. Add into account a war based society like in the story, where they are constantly under threat of attack, and have been attacked, by hoards of demons, plus they go to school learning martial arts and such from much earlier... I dont understand peoples issues with their ages at all. <<less

Terrible story sh*t MC dont even feel like explaining my self coz I dont want to argue with ppl who like this story but just to make a point so that the ppl who read it know if this is for them then here it goes you want a novel full of bullsh*t romance and harem and an author so obsessed of telling you how fcking beautiful the girl the MC likes is redonkulous and ofc lets not forget the MC himself who is sparkling with beauty and one more... more>> girl forgot her name anyway you get my point. BUT that not what im most f*cking angry at its not enough the author states that the MC is so madly in love with the girl he likes he wont look at any other and he actually makes this fcking novel a harem like bruh... really anyway its sh*t but if you enjoy it it means you have different taste and opinion for novels 1/5. <<less

The best thing about this novel is that MC uses his vast knowledge in order to strengthen his friends and many people who he sees as being righteous and trustworthy. He is trolling a lot of characters. Sexually harassing his love interest. Look down upon anyone (which is kinda explainable by the fact that in his previous life he was like a god) so no harm done here. The biggest issue is that he is taking a lot of risks while still being weak (i guess author has to make... more>> it that way so the story isn't that boring) like entering that special space in current arc. He knows that an attack from demon beasts will happen in a few years so instead of waiting to power up he just rushes there. The other issue for me is the age of his "party" (12-14 years I don't remember exact number but either way still kids). They act like they were adults at times of danger and then like kids the difference is just too big for me. The only thing the plot is about currently is wiping out one of the families, defending the city and taking revenge on the guy that killed MC in his previous life. I have a feeling that if this novel described his past life it'd would have been more interesting. Well either way this is definitely a nice read and worth your time. We just have to wait for the time when he really becomes strong and changes the future because that's whats this is all about. <<less

this novel is the one of the few novels which has too less crap... focused on story and politics instead of s*upid random fights and complex cultivation. Villains in these novel are not s*upid at least they have common sense and held responsible if they try to kill some one who is innocent
translation pace is even better than ATG.... daily episodes are always best

The MC has “lived” about a million years in his previous life in meditation or reading in his Demon Temporal Book. Since he’s reincarnated, he’s OP and he knows a lot. His goal in life is to protect the city and the girl he loves, so sweet. This novel is mixed of a lot of action and a lot of humor (Nie Li is a huge troll in front of everyone so it's pretty funny) so it’s great ^^

As a xianxia, TDG stands out in the way the plot based its premise on how the MC tries to develop a different future than the one he has experienced by making use of all the knowledge he has gained in the past life. However, he is not obsessive in building his own strength; instead often opt to strengthen people around him first.
The MC character is clearly defined, but supporting characters are too (although I don't like the girls' potrayal), quite rare for a xianxia. Also, up to chapter... more>> 120s, the plot built up in a nice pace, not too fast or too slow, just right. Wish it will not get dragged out in later chapters. <<less

Dont listen to the people who wrote bad review.

This novel is awesome. Among the very best from the current translated xianxia novels.

Yes the MC is kinda ‘jerk’, I would say ‘naughty’. But nothing that you wont see from kids these days.

MC is smart and funny as hell.

I rather read MC like this than a very upright (read: boring) MC like SYWZ.

rating: 5/5 *****

This reminds me a bit of transcending the nine heavens, and we all know how that ended (or abruptly ended I should say). It is the same in that the MC is OP and he's towing a school class of friends (baggage) to the mountain peak and they pretty much don't have to do anything and will end up as powerful individuals. I really have never liked when a MC has to protect a whole village (city in this case) since we all know how that will get used... more>> against them and whatnot but so far although it's a reoccurring issue it hasn't been too big a deal.

Other than that the story is pretty standard, though a bit more fast paced so you don't get bored as easily. I would say it's better than the average martial arts web novel but don't expect anything too amazing. <<less

Bad in some places to just place plot devices or get other characters involved, but a nice spin on reincarnation/time travel.

I would say this is an ok novel, it has it´s ups and downs, the world building, powerups and unique techniques/items are quite interesting, fight scenes are also nice. On the other side the characters are shallow as a puddle of water and I can´t really talk about any character developement. The final nail in the coffin is the fact that it was abandoned by the author, the funny part is that the manga is still being released today and they are getting very close to the last few released... more>> chapters. Just to be clear there is no ending whatsoever this was abandoned mid-plot. <<less
