He gets broiled up in a marriage after hitting 1000 chapters. Don't expect any disciple-love relationship type of nonsense when he looks at them as all his baby children. (Even though they are not that much younger than him.

From becoming best sect, fighting all the powers in the land, it went to him fighting other existence outside of their dimension. And when I said "fighting other existence outside" I don't mean like upper realm and lower realm, they literally fight others in a space that summons all warriors of different lower realm universe... Or maybe I'm understanding the geography wrong, regardless-

This for me was the first nail. Its poor execution had only made it worse. Had they use this as a way to slowly explain about the system then I might like it? But so far from my skimming, I see 0 mention of the system's origin. And like if you're going to go about how the system items are given to MC after he purchase, talks about higher realm, lower realm and give a replica of the system use in public, you better at least provide us a hint as too the origin of the system and why no one can sense it.

But hey, perhaps it was explain and I just didn't see it. So my interest to read further got intensify. However all my interest disappeared upon skimming the end parts and realizing whose the FL that MC is ending up with.

Bruh, ok I can understand if he didn't end up with any of the disciples considering that he might see them as his own child BUT FOR IT TO BE REPLACE BY A FORCEFUL ROMANCE IS NO DIFFERENT. You are telling me the eldest disciple lose to someone who the MC had no choice but to mary to easily accomplish a task? EVEN THE SECT MASTER LOVE INTEREST IS WAY BETTER WTFFF.

Their romance felt so forceful that I could easily believe you if you told me the writer did that to avoid the sect master x eldest disciple end (as it's like teacher and student).

I swear the saying "romance ruin a story" is so true but it's not because romance as a genre sucks but that the writer, usually one that tends to do action stories sucks at this genre.

From where I am, any of the love interest MC has, particularly Sect master, eldest disciple and heck even the lil' chef is way more developed than the one who he ended up with. Now could MC and FL relationship later on perhaps develop to something more meaningful as the three (sect master, eldest disciple and lil chef) I mention? Perhaps. But it honestly leave a bitter taste to think that the one that started as a business interest won against the one who had been there since beginning of time.

None of them would have notice him if he didn't become successful. And it feels even worse to see the ending of the one who had been there since the beginning. They could have at least give her own happiness beyond cultivation but noo, let her be devoid of emotion while the rest be happy.

Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Scott. Elon Musk and Justine Wilson. Now this. I guess the FL gets the flowers while the eldest disciple suffer.

Honestly, a part of me hopes that I haven't read certain parts and thus getting the wrong conclusions. But if it is what I truly think will happen. :<

Because of that, I hate the gardener elder and the jokes regarding his numerous love experiences. Poor ladies that died in vain and wasted their youth on such a jerk.

Men, if you can't take the consequences then don't give expectation. If the MC really sees himself as the father or the "teacher" then he should, as the adult, set the boundaries to avoid such mishap. There's no "ignorance" excuse. If you did such then immediately correct it.

I'm sorry for the long rat, I had to let it out somewhere.

After ascending, he offends a number of sects then pins all the blame to a senior who offered him help when he goes to the upper realm. Without other options, the senior offers him help to avoid the trouble temporarily. Later on, the senior gets hunted down and captured as the protag scapegoat. Here comes the clincher, the protag, now stronger, coerces the senior into joining his sect by threatening not to help him if he doesn't join. The author is fond of justifying the protag's actions though.

System breaks in Upper Realm, need millions of points to buy each thing, so the author stops counting the amount of points. Update does not need contribution, they are limited per month.

Things that have always been misused:

Hired Beasts, Always unsatisfying from the start, Boar, Lightning Tiger, Ice Lion disappear, Then the Boar appears after a long time while the others are still missing. In the Upper realm the author tried to renew the pets configuration, but then they disappeared again hahaha

The pavilion to add elemental spirits to weapons and other equipment.

The pavilion of talismans, when it appeared, I found it extremely broken, so there the author realized it too and started to pretend it didn't exist either. Increase 2x/5x/10x strength/speed/defense? Very s*upid if it was only 5%~30% it was still ok.

But After the sect ascended, the quality of the story dropped by a lot, IMO. I also don't like the fact that the MC acknowledge masters, even though he did that for the sake of connections since it is pretty hard for the sect to flourish in the upper realm without connections, it is still not my cup of tea. Because having system is enough, it can guarantee that he will surpass those masters of his. Also, he managed to make the sect in lower realm the strongest without acknowledging any masters. I just don't like it because some of the things he will do in the future might be credited to his masters. Well, the main things that makes me rate this 3/5 is because after he ascended with his sect, it is just like the time when he was in lower realm but this time clichés are everywhere and sometimes there will just be loop that is waste of chapter. Like conflict with other stronger sect -> defeat them and/or rob -> enemies go to MC's sect -> he beat them -> repeat. Well this is pretty common since this is a way for them to develop their sect but more of this really makes the series bland.
