Journey that isn't yet finished and might not in the future. But hope remains that author and the gov. Allow to at least complete it. Well nonetheless a great read.

And yes there is much info dump but, it is necessary, as this info helps in understanding the story much better.

Plot is also slow the author definitely took his time to cook such a great meal. See my recommendation is to how to read this book is to read slowly take your time for each chapter, try to visualize : the... more>> world build, colors, shape and size of characters, the schemes and conspiracies, adventures.

Why I am saying that's because this WN is not just some book where you can skip chapters easily. You won't understand what's happening or where our MC is, situations as well as the history.

For this, those have read upto ch 402 they will know what I'm saying and also don't skip or drop the novel just because you couldn't read one arc. Seriously don't hold, just because some one said this or there was one yt video you watched. If you took this book then read it, this applies to those as well who have quit reading this masterpiece just cause it was slow or they couldn't bear to read for his atrocities.

That's just some lame excuse cause they couldn't understand the plot, the schemes and conspiracies etcs.

Finally just go for it if you wanna or read where you left it, but do it

Also don't think I am forcing you but please don't review books just cause you have read 10 or 20 chapters and expecting fast paced story, cause this one ain't a fast one. <<less

for: (serli) OP??? I think you left it in a part where I found something very broken, I've already finished it and believe me, it's a good thing I'm afraid when someone gets it because the author loves to screw it up 100 times but I've lost count of all the times he lost everything so he fought for it. Obtain and in the case of the evil I cannot argue with you, what I can tell you is that there are chapters that make you change the whole way... more>> in which you see the protagonist by telling you that he made me cry you stop seeing him as the bad guy that he is, but he also shows you his ideals and a way of seeing things that really surprises you. And I'm from the group that disliked the protagonist.

It can also be a matter of taste if you read it completely, if it is, ignore me 👍 <<less

The novel gets too sinister for my taste. The beginning is great, MC is cold-blooded and clever, and also I like his ingenuity. But after a while, he becomes too OP and we see fewer of those qualities used, and he becomes a villain through and through. I can't give a low score since OP development is expected at some point. I guess an OP villain is not my cup of tea.

What a very interesting novel, although, its my first time reading Chinese novel, but as a Jap novel reader, if I say this is topnotch it really is topnotch, from the start you'll already get hook to the MC ideals and ambitions, throughout the novel, you can't really fathom the idea of the author. Lots of plot-twist, interesting characters not just the MC and yeah that's the cool aspect of it

the author didn't just leave the side characters out of the blue, but he instead flesh out and explain their... more>> stories and plot little by little, also this is one hell of a rich novel when it comes to story building, the author is cooking some delicious appetizer to main course. This is also one hell of a political novel, scheme everywhere, unexpected betrayals,

but overall the non harem genre is a win, and for me that's one hell unique on set for Chinese novels, I mean come on, most Chinese novels are full of harems but RI is ahead of its time. In conclusion worth reading a lots of chapters for. <<less

One of the novels that does what it sets out to do perfectly the novel cunningness makes you think about future events and such, the world building and carefully thought up characters and events truly make this one of the best novels

Btw don't listen to these people who stopped before 200-500 these chapters are just setting up for big things later.

Overall 9.7/10

I really like this book. The MC grows and learns from his mistakes but never changes his core character. Sometimes we have a favorite color and the years passes and we have a new favorite color but if you have a very little patience it would be extremely difficult to learn to have patience. The same with the MC, he learns from his mistakes but who he is essentially can’t changed even if his actions bring him trouble.
Spoiler

sometimes in the book he killed people that if he would’ve left alone it would save him sooooo much headaches, but he is essentially a very unforgiving (sometimes paranoid) and cautious person so to avoid any future loose ends he does kill them (and ends up upsetting powerful people that send people to track him down and deal with him. But 500 years of living experience and habits (not to mention his own core personality) can’t change in a few chapters.

A good novel with an MC that constantly strives for a single goal, and doesn't let anything get in the way. There are some annoying things later on like some time BS and repeated info, but overall it deserves a read for having a properly ruthless MC.

Reread edit:

Definitely more of a read through once kind of thing, so imo it would be best to pace yourself and try to make it to the last chapter. On a reread I noticed way more inconsistencies and such, so giving up at... more>> c638 since it'll never have a proper ending anyway due to CCP. Still a good novel, but don't count on a reread <<less

Reverend Insanity good side are the same as it's downside, the amount of detail and thought that go into everything. The reason that this makes the book good is fairly clear, it means that the plot makes and anything that happens is either something that makes sense given the current context or if is not will make sense when things in the past are taken into account or will make something in future chapters.

The downside to this is that it not only makes it so that the chapter can seem... more>> dragged out witch for some people is annoying it also means that there is alot to remember and take into account. <<less

I am not going to rate it because I have not finished reading it.

The story has a few puzzling parts.

The MC is a transmigrator, which is totally unnecessary. Because he seems to imply that he becomes ruthless because he is from Earth (education system fails because he isn't set to be a good guy despite receiving a moral education).

The MC can actually dies non stop because of a time skill that he had mastered. That means that he actually won't ever die and can keep going back in time to... more>> screw his enemies and he can always make the correct decisions.

He actually dies 5 times but revive every single time.

His enemies have no chance of ever winning him.

The MC tries to be low profile but he is 6 metres tall with eight arms. And yet he manages to maintain low profile.

Just enjoy the read of an evil MC and dont think too much. <<less
