Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Demons, devils, ghosts and monsters
Plunge the weak mortals in horrors;
Arms of gods and blades of devils,
Shroud the world in untold evils.
Lu Sheng was an ordinary civil servant in the modern world. After waking from a drunken stupor one day, he found himself trapped in a dangerous world where demons, ghosts and supernatural monsters terrorize the land.
In this world, ordinary mortals live in dark fear and helplessness, without any means to fight against the supernatural.
As Lu Sheng struggles desperately for survival, he stumbles upon a game mod he had designed for a mobile phone app in his previous life. It unexpectedly becomes his special ability, which enables him to instantly level up any skill he learns, albeit at a cost.
Thus, Lu Sheng begins his journey, striving for power beyond the reach of a mortal as he treads the way…of the Devil…

It's always an AND-THEN-THIS-HAPPENED plot.
Author/MC is constantly given clues for next task at Site A/B/C/D/E. MC goes to Site A/B/C/D/E. MC forgets/ignores about the clue and continues doing his own thing until sh*t happens. Then MC goes, "Hey...I remember I got this clue earlier...". Rinse and repeat every minor/major arc. Here's a typical example.
Chapter 1-30 MC spends half of those chapters training by himself (a common boring problem pointed out by other reviewers). Yup, that's how s*upid it is.
MC finds out a little bit more about his world, but doesn't bother exploring it further besides training. Sh*t has to happen to him before he deigns to investigate but usually forgets about it later.
MC saved his paternal sister from being r*ped, then a few chapters later MC ignores her and allows her to be turned into an idiot. Ugh. After the danger has passed, MC vows to make his family strong.
Chapter 35-50+ MC proceeds to the next bigger city, but is lulled into a sense of safety, and so forgets about his lofty goals and starts d*cking around with mundane affairs (become a court official rather than entering the true world of cultivators by looking for the Crimson Whale Sect). Seriously???
Even when clues are literally handed to him (it's in a f*cking note sometimes!), he continues training on his own for months to years while not realizing he is OP already.
Author clearly forget about the sect, then suddenly remembers it and so randomly starts MC's next mission.
Not sure why this wasn't really flagged earlier by reviewers.
I should've guessed from the beginning when MC had a 12 year old maid Xiao Qiao hanging around him. Then it got way worse when there are constantly situations of the MC having s*xual tension with his maid, from long descriptions of his maid's body to random s*xual situations. Ugh. Then there was this really weird thing about how current society preferences found long-legged women as a turnoff, and one of MC love interests had long legs and was therefore shunned by society. Huh??
So doesn't that mean all the "beautiful" women (acknowledged by EVERYONE in society) that author described in the ENTIRE novel are short-legged stumpy midgets?? WTF... (3) Broken cultivation mechanics
Completely nonsensical cultivation methods. MC is constantly missing the latter half of his training manuals. Somehow his System helps him make up for it by "extrapolating" the next levels, which as some reviewers have already pointed out is INCREDIBLY s*upid.
It gets worse when he repeatedly starts jelly-bellying (mix and match) his martial arts as a form of nonsensical advancement. And it works, just because author says so, even though it makes no sense at all.
The names are even more epically s*upid.
Black Tiger Fury + Something Crane Skill = Black Tiger Something Crane Skill.
Ugh.
- Cuz it's HULK vs Supernatural Horrors! RAWWRRR! Who doesn't like the idea of someone like the Incredible Hulk bashing down ghosts and monsters? That's pretty much what this is about.
- World building is detailed enough to scare the bejeebus out of me if I had to visit that world. eeek!
- MC is kind of OP, cuz he doesn't start off the bat super duper HULK. He builds up to it. And you can easily read and feel his fear as he strives to get stronger to face this horror filled world.
- Support characters are not super detailed, but given enough 'life' that you recognize them.
- Oh. Alot of people die to supernatural horrors.
- Don't read this story series all by yourself in the middle of the night in a creaky weird and moaning house.... just DON'T.
- Read this story series in the sun while you're outside enjoying a nice breeze.
Overall I liked it. Was superbly entertained by it. Easily binged it to 225. Remenber: It's HULK vs Supernatural Horrors! HULK.... uhhh... Lu Sheng is STRONGEST one there is!! RAWWWRRR!!!MC transmigrates into the body of a playboy noble son in an ancient chinese world setting. Discovers the world is ruled by supernatural powers that regular martial arts cannot contend against, and embarks upon a path to survival for him and his family. Great premise, average execution. To get a feel for the series, imagine if at the end of every X-Files episode, the MC hulks out and punches the monster of the week in the face to death. MC's cheat power basically lacks depth, he instantly learns/merges any martial arts he comes across. This exponentially scales like Re:Monster and he basically turns into a demonic Hulk. MC's personality degrades from interesting to standard psychopath chinese WN MC pretty quick and never recovers. The unique horror-wuxia vibe is ruined when he leaves the starter country and it turns out, there ARE martial arts that can contend against the supernatural. Recommendation:
The beginning arcs are somewhat fresh and new, worth a try. Too many Chinese WN cliches starting showing up later on (side characters don't matter, organization building doesn't matter, location change every arc in lieu of meaningful world building, etc). Leaving the starter country was the last straw. By that point the story "formula" had become apparent, removing any hope of change, so I dropped it.
The way he came to view life at a certain point in the novel realizing that he needs strength to protect himself and his loved ones caused him to go all out. And when he lost them and started wanderong from world to world and assimilating his other selves and living their lives also brings about a nice change in him. At the end when he feels he is strong enough he repays everything.
It is very much in the style of WMW (see my review for that). But the cheat is just dumber and intrinsically flawed.
The downside is that the author build the plot on the go and is inconsistent with many important things:
Later in the story he basically doesn't give a flyig f*ck about others people's lives and just cares about cultivation. He goes killing random masters so he can absorb their weapons be they demons or humans like him even if thet didn't do anything to him and are fighting for humanity.
yeah... He also falls in love with a girl when he is already stronger than her by a lot; thenforgets about her and loses all feelings for her telling her he lives already in another world from her. And THEN he forcefully imp**gnates her after getting a technique that allows him to...
