Traversing into another world, Zhang Xuan finds himself becoming an honorable teacher.

Along with his transcension, a mysterious library appears in his mind.

As long as it is something he has seen, regardless of whether it is a human or an object, a book on its weaknesses will be automatically compiled in the library.

Thus, he becomes formidable.

“Emperor Zhuoyang, why do you detest wearing your underwear so much? As an emperor, can’t you pay a little more attention to your image?”

“Fairy Linglong, you can always look for me if you find yourself unable to sleep at night. I am skilled in lullabies!”

“And you, Demon Lord Qiankun! Can you cut down on the garlic? Are you trying to kill me with that stench?”

This is an incredible story about teachers and students, grooming and guiding the greatest experts in the world!

The MC is totally thick skinned and acts aloof as he was not the original owner of the body he's in. Really love the novel and interested in how it will proceed.
Spoiler

The MC transmigrates into the body of someone who scored a Zero in Teacher Qualification Exam and almost drove a student to madness due to his instructions in Cultivation. He gets a Library of sorts which is basically a cheat that allows him to learn the weaknesses of the people he observes.

He needs to recruit a student lest he be expelled and gets one by cheating her. Due to a challenge with another teacher, he is able to improve the strength of another student's attack using his ability getting him as student as well. He also gets another student who gets h**ny as she cultivates whose faults he identifies using the ability. (She came to find a cure for the condition).

The story is about I am the MC off this world got A great cheat. The plot is Repetitive but it do has some good comedy in it and also and easy read story

Unfortunately I just hate the MC. I has no problem with the cheat system but the problem are MC became more and more arogant. He beceme a brainless iresponsible idiot that always get away with everything.

MC really depending on his big cheat and that make MC arogant, has zero Patience, undervalue hard work and an idiot that... more>> dosen't thinking before doing something, and don't give any thought about consequense of his action, the MC literaly just do whatever he want and always get away with. And it make him always take an easy way Ruining something and just show off. So it is a good novel overall, but if you has no problem with I am The MC I can di whatever I want even though it was s*upid and risky and just idiotic (some off it not even funny is just a straight dumb) you can take this novel.

Spoiler

The plot is literaly like this

Npc : it would tokk 5days to get it

MC : ITS too long how about do it in Two hour

Npc : that impossible. You arogant (not blaming him)

MC : (find something in library use his cheat to get it) make it

Npc : waw that impossible master grandpa honorific,

MC : oh my God I just want to has a low profile character

I really enjoyed the book.

Though there are many cliches in the story such as the Zhang Xuan being OP and him travelling to many places and overcoming hurdles "easily", the primary setting and context of the story makes it vastly different from other wuxia novels.

A few unique characteristics of the story:

... more>>
  1. The artifact is a library.
  2. The existence of master teachers, a unique occupation
  3. No harem, though many of his students are attracted to him
  4. A goal in mind, which is the reason why he has to keep improving and cultivating to be stronger.
  5. A lot of face-slapping moments
  6. Really good writing and humor, thanks author and translator :)
Elaboration:

I have read many wuxia novels where the MC has an artifact linked to their soul the moment they transmigrate but this is the first time I have seen it being a library. The fact that his improvement is linked to the reading/collection of books makes the story different from many others, though there is also his heaven's zhenqi which makes him much stronger. Furthermore, I love that his occupation is a master teacher, which aims to guide students to improve their cultivation and occupations. Compared to other wuxias where the MC just grows stronger on his/her own, this is more heartwarming, especially when he cares so much about his students. Furthermore, the essence of many wuxia novels is revenge. However, in this, the MC needs to grow stronger to survive, giving him a motivation that makes more sense than revenge. Lastly, this story has a LOT of moments where the MC says that he is humble, yet his actions are the opposite. Where he has the ability, but people are unaware and are critical/look down on him. When he shows his strength, others are flabbergasted and regret their actions.

All in all, the reason why I stayed was simply because the context of the story was interesting, paired with good writing and humor, it kept me engaged.

Is it cliche? Is it repetitive? Yes

But should you read it? Yes. Just give it a try and you might stay till the end like me :)

Spoiler

Lastly, I really supported Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxin. The addition of Luo QiQi in the side story was too extra.

This is a must read if you want something light. At first, I didn't have expectations for the plot since the trend is just pure comedy and face slapping. But 1000+ chapters in and the author decided to blast a bomb of a plot twist. That didn't end there and author continues to write succeeding plot twists til the end and even side stories. The novel has its boring parts but this novel is a testament that you should ride the tiger until the end whenever you can.

don’t be fooled by the ugliness of the main character in the beginning, it’s a story about growth and it includes personality. Selfish greedy teacher will grow into a compassionate devoted absolute role model. I loved the cooperation and the sharing of knowledge and the confucianiste philosophy that is at the fondation of the master teacher story.

it is not just a fight and grow overpowered book, it carries deep values at its core

as he will learn more and more and teaches, he’ll become honestly devoted, way beyond his own interests... more>> and embody the values of confucianisme (thanks for the many enlightening translator notes) but hey, it’s a fun and imaginative story !

i had a hard time with the beginning because I disliked the MC, and I just followed because the witty part made it fun and the teaching part actually let me understand a lot of things about the genre. But as it goes on, it is ever changing, activities, cultivation, students and challenges keep our character moving on and also evolving as a better human being.

It’s on the long side of things, but it’s varied enough to keep me entertained for an incredible number of chapters, without skipping more than very few paragraphs here and there (and it’s far from being finished). I love the extra depth provided by the underlying philosophy. I love that the character is a teacher and not just another fighter, it’s full of smart, fun and action and riddles, and pretty much the best I've re So far in that register

ps :if you know something as good don’t hesitate to pm me ;) <<less

It seemed like at first, it was just an OP MC going around subduing the world. But there's plot and background. There aren't useless characters and everyone comes up once or twice in different times of the novel. And the author's still a student, don't know about his grade, so it's understandable that it seems lacking at parts. Overall, it's a pretty ok novel, just a bit long...

Edit: I'd change it to a 2 out of 5 purely due to the fact that three last chapter just abruptly changed... more>> this novel into a

Look, let's be real here, once you are 80 chapters into this you know exactly what to expect from the next several hundred. It is to the point that the twists are entirely predictable in most cases, but that is part of the fun of it. This is not a serious series, it is an Isekai power-trip fantasy comedy, and anyone expecting something different should look elsewhere. That said if you like the comedy contained within, don't worry, there is plenty where that came from. Over 1200 chapters in and... more>> I am still excited to find out what the next s*upidly overpowered ability he will have will be, and how it will stifle that overbearing superior who tries to strut his stuff.

Edit: The story developed quite a bit later on, to the point that I wasn't predicting every twist anymore, but the comedy was still going strong just as it had been all along. I will say it again, if you are into it in the first 80 or so chapters then you will like the next 2000. It is rare for me to be able to stick out a series as long as this one, but it just has that sort of draw to it where it is always a fun time and feels like the author is trying to 1-up himself. <<less

WTF did I get myself into???

This is one of the overrated novel where people say it da bomb but in reality, a total sh!t. Get real Mr Author!!

Initially I read the bad comment and so to myself, how bad can it be? And now I totally regret it!

... more>> The MC is supposed to be the Master of Master Teacher yet he know nothing. Totally depending on his cheat.

Arrogant, no style and the worst part it, he can even solve a basic misunderstanding without using violence.

This is currently the most hypocrite MC that I know so far. Keep demanding a ridiculous sh!t as payment for everything he do to others yet want everything for free when he need something from others.

All side character will totally turn dumb and s*upid when confronting MC just because the Author want him to be cool. The worst part is, side character will keep repeating the same sh!t over and over again for a minimum of 2 chapters! Dont let the chapter count to fool you.

my recommendation: Please just drop this Mr Author!

Just kill the MC! It is totally easy to do it. Make other people refuse his demand at the cost of some suffering (or die). Repeat the process over and over again when eventually people will no longer care about his godly reputation and skill. Over time, people will just ignore him. His student will automatically turn to sh!t since everything they do is solved by violence <<less

It had a good start but as the story progresses, it has become repetitive and very shameless. The pattern just repeats itself every arc.

It's still okay if you wanna kill time but don't expect too much from this story.

This was one of my guilty pleasures. I know it is bad, but it was still very enjoyable.

I loved the overpowered MC. His cultivation and face slapping scenes were sometimes so ridiculously op, I had to laugh out loud :P

I'm not sure, if the author was serious with some op face slapping events in the novel or if this was just for comedies sake though :D

... more>> Why am I giving just 2 stars?

Because it gets repetitive and dull in the later chapters. I'm especially talking about the tests for his various occupations to advance his master teacher level.

Don't misunderstand. I enjoyed even this events a long time, until it got boring, because of the repetitiveness. At some point it felt more like a chore.

I saw previous reviews mentioned this (they dropped this novel around chapter 300 or even earlier), but I thought to myself: "Well it is kind of repetitive (anyway, it isn't THAT repetitive), but I enjoy it regardeless". After I read 300 more chapter I have to change my viewpoint. The occupations he has to take a test in are increasing in numbers and there are more and more tests, that felt like literally "copy pasted" tests from previous chapters. Just with increased difficulty.

In the later chapters it is like this: He did all his occupation tests and advanced to a new master teacher level, so he travels to a higher domain, which he take similar tests all over again a few chapters later.

At this point I thought, where is the plot. How many chapter until he takes another similar "copy and pasted" occupation tests. I want more stories in between his occupations, like in the earlier chapters, but even then somehow the occupation tests really felt like filler now and he has to take a lot more until he reaches the highest master teacher level. I can't take this anymore :D

It was like the occupation tests are the center and main part of this novel. It was like the tests are the plot. It was like everything else is just the subplot. It should be the other way around.

Also don't expect deep relationship developments and character growth. He is a teacher and the novel is about teaching. Don't expect more than this. Read it for the face slapping moments until it gets too repetitive and boring. If you like OP characters I think you will be enjoying this novel for a few hundred chapters like I did. <<less

Repetitive to the extreme, this martial xianxia parody will string you along with true farce, for a while

MC reincarnates into the body of a dead good-for-nothing and gets OP while slapping other people in their face in the figurative sense. Yes, the preceding sentence sounds familiar to you, although, as always, the details are different, and somewhat more so in this case. For one, our MC is a man, reincarnating as a completely failed teacher working at a school for cultivators, and the whole thing is an utterly farcical parody.

Zhang... more>> Xuan receives one of the most extreme cheats I have yet to see in the form of access to a magical super-library in his mind that allows him to basically filter all of the knowledge he or a book has for secrets and a sort of True Path. After skimming various manuals for different kinds of cultivation techniques, he is able to create the perfect cultivation technique with ridiculously fast results; he knows all of his enemies' weaknesses; he can cure a person without any previous skill in medicine, he can tell what an object is by merely touching it. Express elevator to the top, no charge. He gains everything at breakneck speed, starting with new students, and then accumulating a long roster of victims.

I mentioned face-slapping. I might have understated it a bit. Imagine this as an episodic serial, where you have a monster of the week and the heroes beat it down, and it's a boring series, so about 80% of each episode is only the beating. This is like that, except Zhang Xuan humiliates the assigned enemy of the week through his sudden power-ups, recent social standing or new high-ranked acquaintances.

Over and over and over and over again.

After a while I had to stop and read some other, pioneering reviews to confirm my fear, and yep, this seems to be it. This is the whole thing. Zhang Xuan wakens some jealousy, skepticism or scorn in some unlucky person in the story, and then bam, circumstances and his cheat conspire to utterly humiliate them in some way.

Edible as a small portion at the start, but I couldn't continue. <<less

Here's an example of an ordinary day for the MC:

-The MC goes to buy groceries, he sees a homeless man and gives him charity. The man then gives him a skill book as a thank you. To the man the book is worthless because he can't practice the skill but the MC finds out the skill is very powerful. After that he passes by a stall and with his ability discovers a rare artefact disgised as worthless junk. He buys it. He sees three man harassing a woman. He helps... more>> and the woman falls for him. She is the daughter of the king. He finally buys his groceries and goes home.

The story is good but everything happens so fast. Only a few months have passed since the start of the story and the MC has done so many things and went from lvl 2 to lvl 67 when normally it takes a year to go from lvl 2 to lvl 3. If the story took place over 10 years instead of 4 months it would be much better. The MC is a teacher and it's a job you have to take your time to mold your students into becoming experts. So much happens in too little time.

I like the library in his mind. The fact it is able to see flaws is good. What I don't like is how easy for the MC to correct those flaws. If only he had to work hard to gain powerful techniquesby eliminating the flaws one by one the story would have been much better. I don't feel like the MC is talented, his cheat is just too powerful.

Some say the story is repetitive and they're right. But what storyisn't repetitive? The MC always fights for the same reason and the bad guys are the same everyime. At least in this story the MC doesn't fight to the death every two chapters. The confrontrtions are related to the different occupations (alchemy, formation, blacksmith,...) and not always deadly. If a character loses ace he tries to make the MC loses face, not kill him.

This story has many flaws so it is not one of the best novel but I enjoyed reading it and will continue when new chapters are translated. Just try it for 20 ~30 chapters and if you don't like it you won't like it even after reading more chapters. But if you like it, you'll enjoy it for a log time. <<less

What a load of baloney... The story concept is so repetitive. Intially I read till 200 chapters then I said " it's getting so repetitive". So I dropped it then after a few months, seeing so much hype, I started reading it again till 500 then it HIT me just read the CHAPTER NAME and that's it you know the full story of that chapter as there are nothing more than face slapping in all story and bunch of lines of the crowd criticising the MC for first part and... more>> then in-shock till the end and then again bunch of more lines to admire him. Final Moral just read the chapter name.

Maybe in future at the 1001th chapter I am gonna read the title and the story for last two chapters and still feel the same way then goodbye to this "library", will join others. Lol <<less

Started out good with that cheat but quickly decilined and at c514 I cough blood whenever I see cliche moment where he does impossible, and it became annoying to read honestly, I don't think it will become better when this novel is all about cliche events and meteoric rise trough cheat, and MC never had a setback to be honest, no mistakes, and cultivation system is dumb and all over the place, person who can punch with few hundred thousand kg of force can't jump 100m? They live only 100... more>> years? And normal mortals live like 50years, cultivation barely increases that, all those pseudo abilities are s*upid too, like eye of insight which is like identify ability but works only on similar stage, heart of tranquil water is just being calm, illustrous facade routing army under unflinching gaze sh*t like that, and the name is similar to what it's named officialy, there is ancient language of cows, bloodline domination, some unique bodies where you breaktrough ranks even though you don't follow cultivation manual - no idea if they get perfect path in that or something random. Formations/devices/pills/herbs/poisons/appraising and other stuff has dumb grades where you need cultivation to get skills for those occupations, like there is system that helps but no one notices it, and we have arrogance, disdain, contempt, understimating, cold sweats, coughing blood, and trembling from anything, don't bother.

@edit: This novel is number 1 novel ever about being hypocrite, instead of fighting (which is one of main goals of cultivation) they bicker like morons using rules and seniority rules made by cretins to take advantage of people, most famous/respected people are full of sh*t yet they are f*cking scared of fighting weaker people due to rules they themselves break/bend constantly. <<less

Then there is a problem

MC then know that he is being poisoned then trying to find the cure by traveling around. But everytime it would encounter a super duper not my problem situation and the MC is trying to solve it entire chapter

[collapse]

The problem is very not logical, if you use your brain properly you don't have to make every problem is a face slapping.

It's okay to do so but not okay if you make it in every fcking problem that you don't need to solve because they are not your fcking problem.

You won't need to gather the metal ore and purifying it and make it into a sword, you just need to buy the fcking sword

How the f*ck you don't know about a chloroform if you know how to cure an impossible to cure illness?

And why did you need to be so stingy when you can make a money just by making a painting

And so on and so on

If you are someone that don't want someone use an ineffective way to solve problem just to do slap a face don't read it

It will only make you think the writer is an idiot but you must respect the author <<less

It's a fun read, but conflicts have become repetitive. They center around the MC insulting his opponent in one way or another, not realizing what he said was extremely insulting, and getting annoyed someone dares challenge him. Most of the opponents are prideful/arrogant guys who vastly underestimate the MC because of his age/poor clothes/ignorance. Usually they're also rich and spoiled. A crowd gathers, the MC beats his opponent, everyone is amazed at how unconventional/talented the MC is, rinse and repeat.

The MC is also just going through life bumbling around. It... more>> seems like he hasn't learned how society works, which is weird because he's literally got a library in his head. A lot of his mistakes are things that you wouldn't say to someone in this life too. He really needs to read a few books on social etiquette at some point.

I do enjoy reading about the world the author has built, it feels very fleshed out and real. The supporting characters are great too, especially when the MC is teaching them. Watching the MC master the nine professions is half the fun of the series. <<less

Pro:

  • Xuanhuan GTO vibe, somewhat.
  • Main character is bearable and good. No psycho here.
  • Good ideas for the lore.
  • Emphasis on diverse subjects, like painting or tea making.
Con:

  • Too much prideful morons as enemies.
  • Too repetitive.
  • No romance (even subtle romance would have been good). Though no romance is sometime better than most romances I see in Chinese WN.

But the guy lacks like any emotion from what I can gather. He's not interested in romantic relationships at all which seems odd for a young adult and recently he's become really arrogant for someone with just an incredible cheat.

Edit: c743

It's pretty terrible. Not sure why I keep reading this sh*t because it hurts my head.

  • The MC destroys everything. He does a test and he destroys it. He uses some resource and he destroys it. He just basically use up all the resources available without caring about other people.
  • He just shits on everyone. He hides his status and expects people to respect him for no reason and it creates s*upid situations.
  • He doesn't save any resources to use later. He runs out of currency so often.
  • His s*upid, fat steward is such a terrible character. I really wish he got mu*dered by one of the random characters he sh*t talks. He runs his mouth so much even though he's always the weakest.
  • The MC is so s*upid. You'd think he would learn something other than technical smarts since he reads all books. You would imagine he would get some street smarts too from those books or at least remember some basic street smarts from his previous life.
  • The plot is getting worse if possible. It's very repetitive which would be fine if the MC wasn't so annoying.
  • The students barely appear in a supposed story about teachers.
  • The romantic interests get dropped with every new region.
