I will summarize this novel in a few short sentences..

Qianye : why did you fook my mother?

Old man : it's for the empire

... more>> .

.

Qianye : Understandable

Poor MC is a npc in his own story

I mean I went in to read a story about a decessive npc, but fook he does nothing at all. Even most of his fights are generic

How did you get this strong,

On the verge of dying and killing a strong enemy

A weak enemy trying to kill qianye when he is injured and then dying with a shocked face.

These are some of the major story elements.

The difference between the side character and the npc is also just in the fact that whenever a side character is about to die, a stronger oldman will appear to save him, variations may apply and the character's core may be injured with a life and death weapon but he will be fine in the next chapter.

Towards the end the story has deteriorated so much that, whenever a new side character is introduced I try to fathom how will he try to fook qianye.

Truth be told the novel isn't bad but it is just more focused on quanye's looks than his martial prowess.

And fook everyone has a grand magnum strong and all but our mc's grand magnum is growing with him, if you know what I mean, it is pretty much useless because it wern't for it he must surely have plucked a divine stick from q random tree and it would have been just a useless.

It is so useless that no body is even afraid of him, if I was the grand magnum spirit I would just swallow a bullet and go to the magnum god.

I can't be bothered to put it into spoilers tag because let me assure you it plays no major part in the story. <<less

This story has some faults no doubt, but the visuality of it is just stunning. I can remember most of the storys places, because the pictures that where build in my mind based on the writing left a deep impression. Same goes for certain action szenes, that I will remember forever.

yes there are parts of the story where I was very angry with the writing, but not everything in life goes as planed and I like how the MC is not omnipotent enough to clean up his own sh*t all... more>> at once.

I like how most of the Characters you meet early on are still relevant later in the story, even if hate it at the same time, because you just hope some people would die allready...

the end left me a bit unsatisfied, but I still give it a passing mark with no minus for my rating. I just enjoyed the story to much. <<less

To be honest, I expected a lot from MoE because City of Sin was really good but I felt that this novel's was a letdown.

I feel that some part of the novels are 'skipped' as the transition from one scene to another is rather abrupt. For me, it kinda messes with my understanding of the timeline. Also, without the wiki, it is quite difficult to make sense the correspondent cultivation level between the dark races, personnel with military ranks and individuals.

There are other things that I don't like but they... more>> are pretty much covered by other reviewers already. 3.3/5 for me <<less

It’s okay, not as creative as City of Sin IMO.

It was good but some Arcs were just not enjoyable for me. I didn’t really like the clusterf*ck of abilities.

You got bloodline, origin levels, gun levels, military rankings, noble rankings, and what not. It got too tedious to keep up with. I tried to give it a chance but it just didn’t feel enjoyable most of the time.

If you like guns, action, and some badassery you might like this novel. It just wasn’t my taste with the development. Also the naming... more>> was kind of tough. I loved the Vampire/DR names way more than the Human names, I.e William the werewolf vs Duke Wei + Marquis Bowang of Wei Clan (2 people). Also all the people with Yu in their name who aren’t related lolz

Like it might be petty of me to hate this but I hated this aspect of the translation/book lol <<less

Good premise, good setting, exelant world building at least in the begining bits, what would seem to be a decent straight forward cultivation system becomes a mess in the middle bits with an equally off weapon ranking system and a corispondingly bad economic system. 1 dimensional characters.

TLDR: Meh it's redable
