    Well the first few chapters when he couldn't cultivate was nothing short of genius but after that it became common wuxia tr*sh. I enjoyed having an MC that for once used his brains. Like for gods sake all these MC's from Earth act nothing like MC's from Earth, they use none of the technology or innovation and the fact that they're even from Earth fades out in the stories. Last chapter is a massive cliffhanger so I urge everyone to just drop it when he starts cultivating. Trust me you're... more>> not going to miss much. <<less

    I feel like it's my duty to warn other people about this thing that some people call novel since it seems a lot of people are loving it. Maybe there're some people out there that have similar taste to me and therefore find this novel to be an abomination because of the things I will now mention instead of being misguided by all the 4 and 5 stars being given to this, in my honest opinion, extremely subpar novel.

    So, it starts out reasonable, the usual stuff, the guy's a cripple... more>> and now his fiancée is coming to visit along with her father and some random dude that loves the fiancée. The twist here is that she actually likes him quite a lot and everyone around him loves him even if he's waste. He's also quite intelligent (well, to the extent of what the author's little mind can imagine), inventing stuff here and there etc. He then somehow gets 9 grandpas all of a sudden, getting a chance to turn his life around. It all seems pretty good, right? It's somewhat unusual and things are at least decent enough to read without complaint. I also thought I would be able to read all the chapters without dropping it, sadly I was wrong, so very wrong.

    That's pretty much were it derails and falls right down to hell instantly.
    Spoiler

    the big issues here is, first of all, that the comedy is extremely low-level. It's not funny. At most I laughed a little when this guy tricked the guy who came with the mc's fiancée, but it was really uncreative, simple stuff that wasn't good enough to truly get a real laugh out of me. Some toilet humor and stuff where the MC mentally dominates that guy and screws him over with his "superior intelligence (lol) ". However, the lack of good comedy wasn't such a big deal, it still managed to make me smile a little at first. However, as the story goes along, the mc's antics gets less and less interesting and none of the characters around the MC have more personality than a cardboard cutout. It's just boring. The grandpas are boring, the MC is boring, his father is boring, his fiancée is a doll, her father is an ornament, everyone else is just around to be a peanut gallery. It's not good writing.

    Now, let's get to what bothers me the most in this novel and what made me unable to keep on reading. Do you hate normal chinese romance? The type where the woman has to act in a certain way and the MC has to act in a certain way as soon as they "get together/start loving eachother"? Where they lose all their previous personality in exchange for a soulless ideal with its roots in traditional, outdated chinese values? Well, you've better avoid this like the pest. This is the hardcore version of that.

    The author is quite a traditionalist and his views on romance, how it works and what is supposed to happen to make it good makes me puke from sheer disgust. The woman has to follow the man's every whim and stay quiet, god forbid having any personality, just the traits of being a soulless s*ave that can only smile and support the male is allowed! The male has to pamper the female to death and protect her with his life as she is his most precious property, showing how dependable he is by splurging on stuff for her and trying to make his dong look bigger, treating her like some kind of a precious item. We also can't forget that we have to read about how damn beautiful she is and how everything she does is so perfect, while the MC must show his status! It's very mechanical and dull to say the least.

    Also, it's mainly about obligation that anything else here, there's no real love, it's all about what the parents want. I'm not saying they're not fond of eachother, I'm just saying that they clearly don't have any free will on their own. It's all about status and strength. Unless the MC can cultivate, they would just break off the engagement and the MC wouldn't give a shit, he's even happy to do so. I guess this is supposed to show how chivalrous he is, but it just comes across as s*upid. The female also couldn't stop mentioning how she actually wished she could be together but him, but alas their lifespans are different and unless he can cultivate, she would break off the engagement. Also, when the MC decided to dedicate himself to her, it seems that it was mainly because she chose to wait for him for a few years, because she was so noble in "sacrificing herself (hahaha) " because the first 30 years are the prime of their life even for a cultivator and they have to marry then or something! So, now he can't stop doting on her all the time, buying things while the author brags about how he's so generous to her. It also somehow gave him a lot of motivation that she "sacrificed" herself for him by waiting a year or two, so now he seems to feel some kind of an obligation to take her as a wife, which really doesn't make sense on any level.

    We also get a view on how utterly... ret*rded the MC is. His actions towards this girl sickens me. Let's just take some of the first things he does. So, he has, for some s*upid reason, made a pair of high heels worth an insane amount of money in materials (by the way, she's all fidgety and scared about being brought to a bed where she had to wait for him to bring the shoes, because of traditional chinese values and how women can't be close to a man before marriage, so s*upid). HIGH HEELS. Seriously? Not only are high heels ridiculously impractical and inconvenient, they're also not something that people in a world like that would like since they haven't been popularized by people there. There's absolutely no way that they would think it looks pretty, nor would anyone wear that crap. It's a cultivation world, come on. Yet, somehow, she can't stop praising how good it looks, neither can anyone else, the author has just decided that it's the optimal type of shoe for a female for some reason. This is such an extreme logical fallacy I don't even know where to begin.

    Anyway, so that's s*upid on its own, but then the author makes it so the MC has to borrow a kind of jade from her that he needs for cultivation. This jade is worth around 1/8 of the shoes. However, he still feels as if he owes her one because he borrowed it for TWO DAYS, so he'll spend even more copious amounts of money on her to repay the "debt". Are you freaking kidding me? It's like he rented it for two days yet paid dozens of times its worth for those two days. This extreme doting on a female he hardly even loves... The excuses for his behavior as well... it's just disgusting. Oh, and he buys more expensive materials on a trip out and plans to make a pair of white high heels as well because it would look good on her with a white dress, or so this fool thinks. I don't even know where to start, it annoyed me to no end. This author is one of the worst I've seen... and this is kind of crap already happens early on, it's easy to imagine future chapters.

    [collapse]

    So, because of all these things, this author is henceforth on my blacklist. I especially can't stand how he's a hardcore traditionalist who doesn't know even one thing about how love actually works. It's pretty much the fantasy of someone with no love experience nor any knowledge of how it works, instead going with outdated values and ridiculously illogical developments.

    Just avoid this like fire if you don't love crap like this. You have been warned. <<less

    A very unique story and refreshing as well. We don't see the MC getting bullied or treated badly when he cannot cultivate. MC is very clever and his family is very supportive. Female lead is exceptionally good as she doesn't look down on MC. MC deals with his opponents in a very funny and unique way which is truly refreshing.

    Definitely a good read!!

    Unfortunately, only 8 chapters have been translated, but this series is hilarious. It is like Sevens, but with a better MC, and better masters (guides). It seems like the MC will have several angels and devils on each of his shoulders to guide him on his path of cultivation. The MC is crippled, unlike similar stories, his dad loves him, servants do not look at the MC with disdain, and the guards respect and admire the MC. The MC uses his knowledge from his other world, and instead of waiting... more>> for a fortuitous encounter, he is able to protect himself by re-creating defense mechanism from his former world. The way the MC deals with his first foe is probably the funniest series of incidents I have read. It was so funny and embarrassing, that I slightly felt bad for his foe. <<less

    I love this novel. Usually, when the MC is crippled in the beginning, he's literally just tr*sh who does nothing and usually just cries in a corner. This guy is a boss, well-loved by almost anyone, and able to defeat most people by taking advantage of his wisdom. Oh yeah, he also advances the technological level of society, and he hasn't even begun with the true op power-up.

    This is pretty amusing from the six chapters translated so far. The main character is a obviously crippled (you can't have a xianxia without cripples), however he fights with intelligence. He shows he invents many things, and fights cultivators using his traps and poisons. It is suggested that the main character is reincarnated dude to him inventing a modern toilet. He finds a bracelet with 9 grandmasters sealed, however not enough is revealed yet to make statements about their personalities.

    Update: Now that I have read up to chapter 25, I... more>> have reduced my score. While the beginning had sparks of originality, it is quickly becoming a generic wuxia. 4/5 for now, will check in the future if the quality changes. <<less

    Absolutely fantastic! I love the "grandpas" that teached him the way of life whilst also get astonished with his invention in return.

    But of course my favourite is Tian Can, the Medicine Immortal >_<

    My only complain about this novel that it is dropped.

    Someone, please bring it back.

    Finally a reincarnated guy who can use knowledge from earth! The story can be a bit too straight and predictable but the story is good and the interactions of characters make me laugh all the time. Recommended for those who wants light hearted comedy action xianxia

    Great and funny novel! MC is smart and liked by all even though hes crippled. Its a refreshing change from the conventional treated like tr*sh/discrimination xianxia stereotype. Female lead is loyal to the MC and not used as a setup for some revenge plotline. The grandpas also seem pretty entertaining although its still early so not much has been revealed about them. Overall a very enjoyable read so far
