If you want a mindless action series, stop reading you found it. Each arc of this story is well done and individually each scene often leaves you breathless. Out of context the story is great and Yun che is the embodiment of cool - If ruthless to the core and willing to kill and torture over minor slights of decorum. The good and bad -

The bad guys are skin deep and rarely get more developed then over-bearing pretty boy who always has gotten away with everything. Overarching plot is where... more>> this story falls apart. The author does a great job on each scene but they are disjointed and often times important characters (like the main characters pregnant girlfriend) get completely forgotten as yun che goes and does his own thing. That is not to say that they are just left at home and go unmentioned, like in coiling dragon, but that they are ignored entirely, even when they were suspended mid introduction. The romances in this book I would consider phenomenal compared to other web novels, if we can get over the fact that the romantic interests are often completely forgotten after the introduction arc. The romantic interest's are fairly two dimensional characters, but the situations that the main character and his soon to be legion of romantic interests find themselves in are often times so compelling that they can make you wish for the success of both parties. That these are always abruptly suspended and quickly replaced make the story feel hollow, especially when reading a second time. <<less

Predictable? Yes. Entertaining? Definitely!

While the formula keeps spinning the same themes, it's well writen, the characters are interesting enough and I still want to read of what happens next even though I largely can predict it already. I don't need ATG to win a literary award, I just want to be entertained and this story certainly lives up to my demands.

Hmm really enjoy the story and I love Yun Che's personality how he openly goes after girls and does it in a smooth way. But it annoys me about the amount of girls and how few actually have the potential to stay with him. At the moment I only see that as Quingyue maybe jasmine and possibly the new girl she. However, overall it's good that when he has girls he makes moves which happens more in Xuanhuas like this but still rarely happens even though it out as bad... more>> as the Japanese novels and harems where by the end of the story it would be an accomplishment for the protagonist to be able to call a girl by her first name...

Another good part of the story is the action scenes which are detailed (but sometimes too long) and how you get a clear grasp on what's happening and you also always know what skill he is using as in some novels the guy uses a skill and I have no idea when they got it. The only thing about the action that annoys me is how he can defeat everyone realms above him and has the some amount of profound power as them which makes me think of how s*upidly wrong he will be when he actually reaches their levels.. he would have already become a god haha. But still it leads to good reactions after everyone underestimates him (or tries to injure his face).

But yeah overall it's a really good read and although I have made criticisms I had to force myself to think of them and say them otherwise I would only be saying good things about Yun Che.

So yeah it's 5/5 even with its flaws in my opinion <<less

I have only read up to chapter 95 (end of arc 8) at the moment of writing this review (I will try to update it if my opinions about the novel change).

Positives+

The MC is:
+Kind and protective towards relatives and people who treat him with respect.
+Brave, confident and calm in almost every situation.
+Uses his wits and intelligence.
+Hardworking and very determined to carry out his goals.

Negatives-

-The MC decides if he is going to help or not women based on how attractive they are.
... more>>
Spoiler

He clearly stated in one of the chapters that if Jasmine wasn't a "beautiful angel" he wouldn't even bother to save her.

[collapse]
-The MC believes he has some sort of duty to "conquer" every beautiful woman he meets, constantly trying to seduce them for no reasonable reason in front of the guy who has spent a large amount of time obviously courting them, just to piss them off and then he acts like it's somehow unreasonable for the guy to get angry at him. The worst part is that every woman he tries to seduce falls for him for no explicable reason.
Spoiler

He is an hypocrite and he acts exactly like Xiao Yulong and Xiao Kuangyun acted towards Xia Qingyue and Xiao Lingxi.

[collapse]
-Repetitive, useless details.
-Author is terrible at romance.
-One-dimensional characters.

-The MC's arrogance is just foolish. He could simply lower his head for once and not provoke an entire continent for no reason.
-Enemies constantly underestimate the MC (It was very annoying and a waste of time reading long paragraphs constantly about the MC being dirt beneath their feet)
-Enemies are always very arrogant or very s*upid (I can't emphasize this enough) (Extremely annoying). The MC defeats them in seconds, sometimes even taking their attacks head on, overpowering them, without a single injury, yet they are so blinded they always think that he is using tricks every time like he is some kind of grand magician. And even though their teeth are broken their face is horribly messed up they still challenge him and vow for revenge when they get beaten up (If you can't even touch someone after 5-10 tries using your full power only if you have some sort of brain damage you would think you were still an actual threat to them). <<less

I used to really like ATG. Like when a new chapter is updated, I would automatically click and read it. But recently, it's been a bore. I didn't mind the generic reincarnation story or the OP plot armor. What tired me the most is the way he thinks he is the shit. Like everything revolves against him.

there is a woman with his child outside that might be dead. I mean sure, Yun Che "attempted" to find her but became distracted when his other woman was getting married. After he prevented that, he was distracted again and did not try to look for his child.

[collapse]

All in all, I became sick of ATG because of the latest chapters. The beginnings were awesome but now it seems that the author ran out of things to write. <<less

Great Novel

I just randomly started reading it and couldn't stop myself from reading till the end.

Spoiler

Protagonist strength really goes against the gods established powers, can easily defeat high Rankin powers and up until now though protagonist was suppressed by more powerful peoples but never lost a fight till now so it really is amusing.

It's fine at the start but the more you read the worse it gets really. The final stretch of chapters I read were so mind-numbing and frustrating I couldn't keep reading anymore. Judging from what I've seen, looks like it doesn't get better too.

This novel really suffers from repetition and harem syndrome. Many Xianxias are like this, but the author really doesn't know how to write anything else apart from MC provoking huge entities he can't fight for some reason, MC finds ridiculous god-level inheritances randomly, MC throws his life... more>> away but is saved by plot armour x100. The fights really get repetitive too, the author really drags them out for too long. Especially the stretch of chapters after he first entered and left Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, that was so boring and unnecessarily dragged out.

As for the harem, it's really annoying how every girl that appears needs to have several paragraphs describing how they are a heaven shattering jade beauty that can destroy nations, and how there will ALWAYS be people that are pursuing them but they aren't interested. And then MC comes along and instantly makes them lose all their brain cells, and their suitors obviously get angry and fight him, etc etc.

Overall wouldn't recommend it. Also, this guy doesn't like taking no for an answer so if you're triggered by that then don't read this at all. <<less

**Ok, I changed my review to negative, from positive. I really liked this story, but the the harem is so ridiculous it ruins the rest of it, which is a shame because it IS a really good story. I just can't read another situation where the only solution involves Yun Che's magic pen*s.**

Great story. The setting is a vast world full of interesting factions, cultivation levels, and characters.

Things I liked:

The main character has the right amount of humor, nobility, bloodthirstiness, and perversion to make him constantly interesting. I like the... more>> pace of the cultivation, skills, weapons, and martial arts. The author is more fond of using big leaps in power rather than gradual increases.

The novel very rarely has parts that drag, and it does a great job of keeping you hooked. I lost a lot of sleep staying up late.

Things I didn't like:

I don't mind Harem if it is done well and not over the top, which this doesn't do. The main character is just constantly getting with the current "most beautiful woman in the land" and it gets old, fast. In this regard the novel reads like it was either written by a h**ny 13 year old or a 31 year old that has never talked to a woman in his life. In the same vein, you can tell while reading it that the author doesn't have a high opinion of women in general, and there are several parts where you just cringe at what you are reading due to the sexism.

The other thing I didn't like is how the MC is just constantly falling into situations that are unbelievable in the luck or coincidence. This MC could go out for a walk to pick up a coffee and meet his long lost grandmother, three beautiful soulmates, and the worlds most powerful treasure in the first five minutes.

All in all, it is very much worth the read. <<less

My first Chinese webnovel I ever read, of course I'm going to show my bias. Looking back to when I first got curious enough to read it, it took me some time to actually pick it up & start. Just compare the writing to other Wuxia novels, even all of the cliche tropes, such as ice beauty, or aphrodisiac RR, the bar was set really high. Not to mention Mars Gravity's style of work is utterly bad ass, much cooler than any stories with a beta Japanese cuck MC. The... more>> huge problem with this novel, which is probably not the authors fault at all, is the length of the novel. It was my first time reading a wuxia yet I had already discovered most of the novel is filler, like I speculated at least 70-80% of this novel is filler. Yet I still somewhat love it. <<less

Let's go over the MC's personality he's a greedy lustful arrogant moron and a complete psychopath he's literally human garbage. The story itself is fine but it gets really repetitive as time passes although considering this is a cultivation novel where everyone has IQ of zero. For a cultivation novel this is a good read but if your expecting a competent smart MC who can handle the situations around him this isn't for you the MC constantly gets into trouble with people around him who are usually stronger than him... more>> for the s*upidest of reasons he gets a power up gets revenge repeat also despite everyone claiming this guy is a genius he's actually more just above average or below that since despite having literally inherited powers from gods he somehow struggles with talented people at the same level as him so ya. I'm rating this a 3/5 because the MC himself is human garbage but the story itself is fine I just don't like scum that's all especially towards woman so if you don't like sexist stuff this isn't for you. <<less

Chinese people are all masochists !!
Every xianxia novel must have a female character with very high talent who makes the story annoying.

This Yun Che has a lot of bloodlines and every time he cultivates he always uses cultivation treasures but his cultivation is still far behind Xia Qingyue who only uses normal cultivation without certain treasures.

You masochist !!

... more>> It's hard to find a novel where the armor plot isn't like this.

I'm just complaining.

Even though the strength of the MC far surpassed his cultivation, still his cultivation was low which made him always looked down upon.

And also when he found the emperor's heart he instead gave it to Xia Qingyue just because she was his wife who then divorced.

Naive!!

The Chinese writer is s*upid.

Better Japanese writer, although the story is always cliché but not annoying.

and there are also Korean novels where most of the novels are of high quality.

The worst character building ATG novel I have ever read.

Also the standard of story development is the same as other xianxia nothing is different.

Starting from the mortal realm, it continues to rise to the divine realm, later in the divine realm you find that your wife has become someone else's wife, then she gets angry and reclaims it.

What an absurd story

Those who like this novel are of course the masochists too <<less

I've never been a fan of needlessly dragged out fight scenes and this novel pretty much throws the MC straight into a new fight as soon as the last one ended for random, often unreasonable reasons, which gets repetitive and boring really fast.

I'm writing this some time after I actually read the novel just to remind myself in the future about why I dropped it but if I remember correctly it was right about when he was done fighting after having beaten all his enemies and saved his family and... more>> started looking at the next realm like "yeah, let's do all that again". <<less

I don't really have a problem with the plot of this novel, its generic, yes, but that's what I've been looking for; MC transmigrated/reincarnated to tr*sh body but has a golden finger, the typical tr*sh-turns-genius that wows everybody who thought he was a good for nothing. Sounds promising right?

but nope nuh-uh

while the premise may be what I'm looking for but the mc's character *facepalm*

... more>>
Spoiler

so the first chapters, in the very beginning after he reincarnated, he was already on his way to his wedding with a talented once-in-a-hundred-years genius jade-like beauty who also happens to be the object of affection of literally the entire male populace. So yeah, he's getting married but hol up, before their wedding ceremony, he kissed another girl who's going to be an earth shattering beauty if she grows up. This girl is family btw.

it gets worse

on their wedding night, he lamented that he couldn't consummate their marriage despite being told that the jade-like beauty can't be tainted as she is a disciple of an all powerful organization and one of the pre requisites for her cultivation is to remain a virg*n. They were already making an exception for her in getting married because they really wanted her *talent*

so our poor ol MC can't get in on the goods..

later that night he decided to go for a walk because you know, plot.

lol kidding aside, he said he can't sleep so he decided to go for a walk and lo and behold, because of his golden finger he chanced upon a legendary grass that just so happens to be sitting in their backyard. Did I also mention that he also chanced upon another world defying beauty who happens to be a vampire (?) and proceeded to suck his blood after he healed her with his golden finger (she was unconscious and dying) and then said vampire girl went inside his golden finger, naked.

so here's what really made me drop the novel.

remember that family member girl he kissed right before his wedding ceremony? Yeah her. So after 10 yr old unconscious vampire girl went inside his golden finger, family girl coincidentally found him outside anddd dundundundun after they went inside they proceeded to do the deed.

yup.. Our MC f***ked another girl on his wedding night. Of course jade-like beauty found out, and MC found out that his current wife found out about him f***king another girl on their wedding night. You know the first thing he thought?

how exciting

[collapse]

first 20 chapters and he already has 3 beauties while his development barely even started yet. And unfortunately, I can't really go on with the story with the MC already being labeled by my brain as a f*** boy who thinks with his dick, well so far. The whole thing just screams fanservice. So a big nope from me <<less

When I read this novel for the first time I was going through the 750+ chapters, when I reached it I decided to wait some time to continue. Many things happened and after years I had the opportunity to take it again, reading it from the beginning.

Although it was not the most innovative novel or the most unpredictable, it was still quite solid and enjoyable. But now that I read it again I can't believe what it became.

There are a lot of reviews here that mention the bad things about... more>> it, so I'll just mention what was unbearable for me.

-All about the MC wanting power to be able to protect those close to him but the moment when there was a woman involved he would throw everything away and get involved. Even if that meant making angry people who could eliminate everyone close to him (basically because they could destroy his entire planet just by thinking about it) or situations that if it weren't for deus ex machina no one survives and I say situations because it happens multiple times. So the MC has several wives but the moment a would be wife is in danger he go there even if is almost impossible to save her and most likely he will drag everyone to the grave, but you know he is h**ny so the new girl is most important than everyone.

And I leave it up to here because the more I write the more this novel angers me. Finally, even the worst jobs of people like ergen and IET are better than what ATG became, do not waste your time and if you still want to read it, do so until before the MC leaves his planet because after that is when the novel enters free fall.

Yun Che's 'first wife' destroys Yun Che's home planet.

[collapse]
After that, I completely stopped reading further. Even when there were more chapters, I tossed them aside. I was tired of enduring the shortcomings of the novel. There was a lot of repetition of types of characters. Many were just arrogant people under different names and affiliations. Additionally, the settings that transpire are very similar to each other. The people in cities are often filled with same types of people; arrogant and just waiting for Yun Che to offend them. The cultivation system is also flawed. In the Conference, Yun Che fights someone that is well above the power he can wield but still manages to win out of sheer willpower. Things are not consistent. <<less

This novel could have been better if there was no harem. Its not that I don't like harem novels but this novel continues only with harem.

... more>>
Spoiler

1) MC marries a girl and that will be added to harem list, but she comes and goes in a flash to show that she is still in harem list after some plot. From the beginning we can know she has high ambition even for a village girl. This particular Female lead overtake every other person in cultivation even if that person is 2-3 major stages higher.

2) MC meets a princes in academy falls in love with her, marries her but still in the process of adding new members.

3) MC finds a overpowered Female lead who can't utilize her cultivation for particular reason and sleeps with her. Then she is side tracked.

4) MC goes for his parents place and adds empress to the list.

5) MC goes to particular female sect and mol*st everyone in the name of massage.

6) I forgot including the girl from his past life, and combining both plots.

the list keeps increasing and there is no other plot. In all plot/subplot MC meets a different girl and falls for her and story revolves around them. MC's goals and ambition are given less importance in this novel

[collapse]

if there was any other plot without harem plot I would have liked this novel. Even if there is a subplot like tournament and other things they all involves harem members in some way.

I have read "world defying dan god", this novel also has harem tag, but it won't becomes boring because it has nice comedy and plot, This novel also has its ups and down but this novel doesn't revolves around harem members.

But against the god plot always revolves around harem members. <<less

Story: A-
I get some people from where they are coming from, the plotlines and such can seem to be a little repetitive at times, but for me, it is from a scale of bearable-- compelling enough to where you could care less, or that it is good enough to where it does not bother you, but I believe ATG shines from such plotlines. The world-building and its lore in this novel seem to be pretty good I have to say. It's not too big nor too small to where... more>> to story has nowhere to go to.
Characters: A
Now to get this out of the way, most of the villains are one dimensional. Most have a very cliche personality, motives, and uses. The side characters, for the most part, are pretty subjective, but for me they good enough to where they did not feel out of place, if not they could be pretty likable at times. Yun Che's Harem has something that I barely see in any harem genre WN in which that it has actual romantic development. The rating for me there is Good-- Excellent. Now there are some characters (names will not be mentioned) that may seem "annoying" to some people, but some of it just seems so overboard, as if it was some kind of bandwagoning that's happening here. As for the Yun Che himself. I would say that the man himself can be a lot of things. He can be kind, hateful, prideful, arrogant, loveable, loyal, intelligent, dumb, etc... It all depends on the situation and who exactly is screwing with him and his people. Some may say he is ruthless, but he has given people in the story enough chances to where he would not have to kill them, although at times it can be seen as very unreasonable. He is a man loyal to the people here cares about, and a demon to those who try to hurt them. Some say he is too OP, others say he is too weak in terms of pacing depending on which ark you are on. For the most part, his Yun Che's progression for me seems to be fine. Some people say he is a luck- base character, but that is pretty disingenuous as it is one thing to find these OP abilities, but it is another to earn the right to use it. For the most part, all the OP'ness that he gets is well deserved. The dialogue between the characters have been fun/interesting to read, except for the villains, but they are bearable enough for me at the least.
Action: B+
This is the most entertaining part of the Novel, or at least for me. Some battles seem to be too drawn out which usually the important battles, but all in all, it's still fun to read. Now I can say that there are times where the could seem like fights but with a bigger boom in terms of progression, but for the most part, every fight always has their stakes/ reasonings for why they happen. There are times when Yun Che out right annihilates his opponents, and there are times where the MC actually struggles, if not almost dies from it. I kind of like that as it brings variety to the outcomes of the battles, instead of being so one-sided all the time.
Summary: Even with the flaws that it has, ATG is a very good compelling novel to read. Good story, decent characters, and good fight scenes. Also excellent romance for the most part. <<less

Good read in the plethora mess of chinese novels. I have red many and this one definitely stand among of my favs. The story is engaging, the lore is well described, the author make the plot very clear with no mistake like some author wrote "this" in previous chapters then later forgot they wrote that and write a totally different "that" in newer chapters. But the main character turn quite dull later in the story because he has something to lose now[ family, kid ], so he can't risk anymore... more>> and become indecisive. Ah but well he lack a brain but Jasmine has a big one so she can think for him.

PS : Jasmine best girl, I think the author think the same by how much he made the main character suffered to meet her again and become a couple. Silly Husband and Witty Wifey combo
Spoiler

but at chapter 1518 she got hurt badly by a master of the realm [don't know how to call them in EN cuz I read in vietnamese] so they are temporary separated again =.= And this will be the last volume, author will start on a new novel very soon
