Its really good. The plot follows the typical xianxia trope but its damn well done. Author is really good in building excitement in the chapters. Characters are well developed (not all antagonists are cruel evil villians.). MC is just loveable. Overall, its a really good read. One brick to rule them all

Although it's not amazing it's still a good read with enough funny moments and plot twists to make things interesting and the MC isn't a twat who thinks too highly of himself because of his cheat item. The MC doesn't bow to anyone but can still dodge landmines by properly using his intelligence unlike other novels in the same genre even though there are times they are useless. He steadily aims to become stronger while not overbearing or humble which makes this a pretty nice read for anyone interested in... more>> this genre. <<less

I love this story. Although it is similar to most other Xianxia it just has a different feel to it. The world is HUGE, the resources are interesting and the overall characters and what not are fun too. Of course not every character is super developed and kept relevant throughout the story (As far as I have read chap 280) but those who are make it quite enjoyable. 7/10 would reccomend.

this is an amazing story, I actually found this when it only had around 50ish chapters translated and waited until yesterday to start reading (finished 238 chapters in a day :P)

it has a slow start the MC is not shameless or pe*verted or anything that could lead to comedy really.

He is very smart though and does not fear to fight against stronger enemies but since he has someone to protect he properly plans his path carefully and eventually succeeds.

The story is slow, he starts to train very early at... more>> around 10ish (?) and slowly gets stronger for the first hundred chapters, but he doesn’t show it off/doesnt travel the road of asskicking until around chapter 100+.

Also there is no romance as of the translation yet (MC is only 12 years old after all :/) but romance is something I wouldn’t completely exclude from this in the future, there might be a good chance for it.

unlike other xianxia he doesnt really have any followers or friends that travel with him (like TDG or LLS), he is pretty much solo.

this is quite different from most other xianxias but its definitely a good read its just a bit slow so 240 chapters felt a lot shorter to me compared to 240 chapters of other xianxia :/.

His background is pretty much the shittiest you will ever see compared to other MCs in xianxias (mom and dad unknown and likely to never be mentioned as for why I won’t spoil but you will understand why seeing his living conditions).

He is also not a reincarnated person and about the human emperor thing in the summary I still have absolutely no clue who that is because I dont remember seeing it mentioned anywhere even briefly.

To tell how he starts out I will spoil a bit but its something you learn in chapter 1-3 anyways. (I dont know how to get that spoiler box to work)

Spoiler

the MC lives in the modern world and goes hiking with 3 friends, there he finds a purple crystal in a cave then suddenly the cave collapses and he is trapped. His friends pretty much went “poof” no mention of them at all really so its fine to ignore that the author seems to exclude them as they had no roles. Then he digs himself out but when he comes out he appears in a completely different place and slowly finds out it is another world.

He actually digs himself out of his own grave (the grave belongs to someone with the same name as him but is just as 12 year old boy that died) and he noticed his body belongs to that 12 year old boy. So this is pretty much a combination of reincarnation and world travelling, not exactly reincarnation and not exactly travelling to a different world either. Like I said earlier you will learn all this within the first 3 chapters so not much of a spoiler.

[collapse]

I recommend reading it, if you are the type that enjoys a talented OP MC then you must have patience! Its even slower than ATG and as you know in ATG the MC doesnt start training til chapter 40+ then asskicking at 60+.

its a very good story and although it does not give me the excitement feeling of other xianxias, it gives a different feeling while you read and doesn't lose out to other xianxia stories.

The MC is cold to enemies but he is very kind to people close to him and he doesn’t go on a slaughtering spree like other MCs. His living environment like I said before is EXTREMELY shitty so not only was living tough but he couldve died any time but with his own strength and abilities he climbs out and changes his own future. <<less

I don’t normally post reviews but this was just too good. I’m addicted. It is slow paced but the author is very good in his world building. There’s no information dumps, and the characters are at least smarter than most xianxia/xuanhua characters. I rarely laugh when I read WN coz most of comedy is dry but this WN made me laugh my ass off. Especially at the later chapters. Its on par with CD, ISSH and all that. Definitely worth it.

I liked how zhou kui was able to reconcile... more>> with yi yun. That at least shows that the characters can think abd dont just blindly follow the typical thug stereotype. <<less

I like it but it is really slow and it doesn't have that much action. The real series pretty much starts at 150 and the rest is just foreshadowing.

Hmm, I already noticed it but this author has an annoying way of upping the scales. They will spend a lot of time introducing a place, the factions, new techniques and power levels. From there, as a reader you are expectant, hoping to see MC slowly go up in ranks but then a crisis or event happens and suddenly everything changes. Then everything we knew before doesn't really hold value and we go back to square one somewhere else.

... more>>
Spoiler

We started with MC being in the Cloud wilderness inside a small tribe. From there we learn than this tribe is among hundreds others under one big clan. And then that one clan is among thousands of other clans all inside that small part of the Empire. So the expectations are that MC will go through many challenges and obstacles to go from a small tribe to maybe a bigger one, then join a clan and then go up. Nope, we went straight to the Empire army, the Jin Long Wei. He joined them and went to a big large city, based on the description. As soon as he arrived there we got introduced to the various levels or Lord, Duke, Marquis, etc. So you know that he has the rank inside the Jin Long Wei to climb as well as the ranks within the Empire's nobility. But no, 2 chapters later it was time to go to the Divine Fortress. We then learn that that big city was in fact in a very average province and it wasn't even that big of a deal. Like we didn't even get to enjoy anything there but we got thrown into another bigger city. There again, there are various factions and strong people but what do you know? MC goes straight to meeting the elders (yeah sure it took a couple of chapters but still). Finally we learn about the Divine Wilderness which is so big that no one knows what's inside. Powerful beasts, tribes and entities. You can imagine the thrilling adventures and stuff for MC to do right? MC finally got a chance to explore it once, got a couple of power-up and as soon as he came back, a new crisis with the introduction of a new race. Now we have that very powerful race that came out of nowhere before MC even got the chance to enjoy the benefit of his first trip outside. And what do you know? Now a powerful family enters the game and we don't know where to situate ourselves anymore. From there MC then goes to a new land that's again bigger, wilder, everything-ER. We learn about like a couple of families there, we didn't even explore the new land that MC got to enter a mystic realm. Again inside the realm we can see that there are various levels and opportunities. But what do you know? Author felt like things were going too well and yet again another powerful entity and another race.


See the problem? You have expectations at the beginning of each arc but after 2 battles, something unexpected happens and we are thrown somewhere else. And every time MC has to start from the bottom, get despised and has to show off. Every single time. And before he even reaches the top there he is already sent somewhere else. Such a freaking c*ck bloc !
[collapse]

I feel conflicted because I like the story, at least the way it's told but I'm getting annoyed slowly. I've rarely read such a well written but weirdly paced story. I feel like author is taking their time but also rushing, it's a weird feeling and I don't like that. This is a weak to strong story so what's the point if before MC gets to be admired by all in a place he is suddenly thrown in another place where he is again the weakest? I'll keep reading but I'll also start to skip annoying chapters. <<less

Decent book coming off the first novel (Martial World). Would definitely recommend reading the first one before starting this one since there are a lot of references to the first (but not required).

A lot more lighthearted than the first book and also good pacing. However, ending is rushed as always (author seems to have this recurrent issue). Easy 3.5/5 for me.

To be honest, it started out pretty interesting and stayed that way for a while. Well, as interesting as a typical face-slapping, op MC xuanhuan novel can be. I read this years ago as one of my first Chinese web novels so I'm not sure I'd enjoy it quite as much now. The details have gotten fuzzy.

However, around the 800 or 900 chapter mark, it got entirely drawn out to the point of repetition and boredom for eight hundred chapters after ... more>>
Spoiler

yi yun and his wife (can't remember her name) got separated and he spent the entire time looking for her. By the time he found her and they reunited I was so incredibly bored and irritated that the reunion was so cathartic and satisfying and I didn't even care about how the story ended anymore. That was all I wanted from the story by then and it was the only reason I kept reading despite not really enjoying it anymore.

[collapse]
Then I dropped it. There's about 200 chapters left, but honestly? I couldn't care enough to finish it, and I am a serial completionist, which should say something about how boring it got during those eight hundred chapters. <<less

efinitely not a bad novel, especially the first 200 -400. However, the novel could have been compressed to around 700 to 1000 chapters or less. Yes, it has a lot of fillers ad gets rather hazy at the end. Too many new characters with a fleshed-out backgrounds and major characters disappearing. Which, is not necessarily bad, but a bit irritating when they are reintroduced in a certain way that gives the illusion that they are still a part of the story, that they still play an important role. The plot has a lot of holes, especially in regards to the PURE YANG SWORD ! That broken sword was¨ (is) one of the main characters. The same goes for

Spoiler

Bai Yueyin,

[collapse]

when she turned out to be not that bad of a character? Who seemingly had a certain amount of respect for the owner, her rival. Can't fathom y the pure yang sword was just pushed aside and became irrelevant, also the female lead is practically invisible throughout the whole novel. However, that was hinted at during the earlier chapters. 😢


I like this novel, it is not a bad read. Just needed the roots and branches to come from the same tree.

Unfortunately, I dropped True Martial World. It pales in comparison with its predecessor (Martial World). The fights are very repetitive, the lucky chances are predictable, and the characters are boring and one-dimensional.

As others mentioned, the MC is supposed to be a transmigrator, but he was probably a NEET because he doesn't use his head and lacks real life skills.

Pretty good, kind of generic but has comedy to offset the generic-ness and everything does eventually get tied up.

  • The novel starts with the MC possessing 1 of the 3 supreme treasures, so basically it's a cheat
  • Lot of arrogant young masters and MC manages to obtain all the valuable things from all the inheritance, which conveniently open, when MC has just the right amount of power
  • The setting, plot, everything is copied there is nothing new/original

hello, my opinion about the novel is that it is balanced in several aspects focusing on action and mild romance (not harem)

Curiosities: In almost all the novel there is no "final boss" only in the end it is shown, since it almost does not interfere with the progress of the MC.

2 The writer forgot a topic, which was the wave of diabolical servants that possessed the geniuses (XD).

3 The Fey race in this novel focuses on cultivating the body when in the other novel, it was a race with... more>> an affinity to the elements...

I see many comments saying that from chapter 900 it is filler... how s*upid... the MC is practically an infant. You will not expect him to defeat the old monsters of millions of years, obviously he needs adventures to justify his level up... you will feel that it is stuffed because as I said the "final boss" does not interfere...

To conclude the novel is good but I see that the author always has problems with the final fights, seeming hasty... The only bad thing about complaining to him This novel is that several characters end up without knowing more, practically only lin xitong and Jing xiaoru could be considered relevant in the story.... <<less

It's a decent novel. I like the character development overall.

There are some plot points that author completely bypassed, which is fine because it's just some minor details.

But man the filler chapters are something else, which is why I'm taking off 1 star.

Overall good read!

I feel this series gets a harsh reputation, and it doesn't truly deserve it. This series is pretty damn good. A lot of times with these novels the common complaint we have is that this seems cliche, and if you have read a decent number of novels you realize all novels in someway are cliche! This novel is a good one. It does have a simple story, but it's a good story. I actually enjoy the romance for what it is. I do think this is one of those stories... more>> that I recommend to everyone, and it is worthy of praise. This series takes some sprinkles from Martial World, and just sprinkles them into the story in a way that you don't need to read the prequel to appreciate them. However, if you did read the prequel it makes them that much better, because of the hype! I love this series, and I hope that you guys at least give it a try.

Yours Truly,

For my perspective, this is a decent novel for me. But as I read further I remembered it was also the same author who wrote Martial World (duh... It's in the name) and I began to wonder why I didn't notice it. And it gave me a pleasant surprise with the connection of the Magic Cube, Red Bead, and Purple Card ~ As they appeared in Martial World but the card isn't that much introduced so it made me expect from the following arcs. Kudos

I did not read MW, so I have no expectation for this novel.

Its not bad. Its not amazing. The characters are memorable... so much so actually, that you wish you get to see more of them, instead of the MC running off and never seeing them again.

The novel itself is wordy. Everything is described in minute detail. Locations, lore, etc. Too wordy, in fact, you just kind of go, okay, already, so what happens in this chapter, stop it with the description of things.

But its the author's style, so you... more>> kind of get used to it.
The romance is poorly developed. The MC and his girl is amazing and powerful when together, so naturally, for 90% of the novel, they just can't be together otherwise there wont be a story.

Some of the skills were forgotten. After getting attached to a specific skill, the author just kind of discard it.

The ending was also rushed :

Spoiler

Then there is the ending. The MC, like a typical cheat character, spent 95% of the novel developing and exploring his 1 cheat item, day by day, week by week, to get stronger to fight the final fight. Then, at the final chapter, the MC somehow got his hands on 2 more cheat items, disappears for 10 years to study them, and the next paragraph shows back up as being infinitely more powerful than he ever was the other 95% of the novel.

The author somehow made a short epilogue to tie things up, but..... it felt unsatisfying. And part of the reason was because some of the characters were so likeable, they deserve a better treatment.

[collapse]

Should you read it? I dunno, but even with the complains I have with this novel, the writing was pretty good. I am actually looking forward to reading MW now, hoping it would be really good. <<less

this novel wasn't bad however I enjoyed martial world way more than I did for this one. I always enjoyed cocoon cow's novels they always start out really well but the mid to late transitioning part always just leaves more to be desired. The ending its not bad but its also not good either its just kinda average. This is why I always feel like cocoon cow's novels are like the epitome of a okay cultivation novel. For me personally his novels are like a measurement used to measure other... more>> novels. Sadly not much novels are better than cocoon cow's novel even though its only decent. <<less
