Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Growing up parentless, Shi Yan, who was left with a large inheritance money, bore a general disinterest in life.
The only times he felt alive was when adrenaline coursed thorough his veins. He quickly found that extreme sports, bungyjumping, cave diving & skydiving, gave him the biggest kicks. The bigger the adrenaline kick, the closer he was to death, the more alive he felt.
Waking up in a pile of dead bodies in an unknown land, after a diving adventure had ended disastrously, he quickly realizes the body he now possessed was not his own.
Follow Shi Yan as he explores this new world where danger lurks around every corner, and death is only a breath away; a world in which Shi Yan could not feel any more alive.

FINALLY completed this novel after about 300 hours of reading. It began to feel like a chore somewhere around chapter 900 or so.
There is a sh*t ton of loose ends. Like 90% of the characters introduced are never seen again even though there is heavy foreshadowing e.g one of the demon kings escaped with his soul intact, we never find out what happened to him. I know it's normal for characters to get introduced and then forgotten later on but at least give some closure. In this novel there's a ton of characters who get like single sentence descriptions, and then a few chapters later they're mentioned again but you've already forgotten who they are. A few characters like the MC's grandpa are reintroduced every so often just so they can pat him on the back "as expected of my grandson!" even though they have absolutely nothing to contribute to the story whatsoever. It is very weird that these useless characters are repeatedly mentioned just so you remember that they exist and are useless. I can't even remember what happened to his mom and dad since they're never mentioned again. It is constantly mentioned how the girls who turned him down earlier are regretting their decision because now he is strong. This is repeated every 5 chapters or so. It is very jarring and does not seem to serve any purpose. Am I supposed to feel sad for these girls that they didn't get to bed the MC? Most of the text is pointless like that.
Lots and lots of repetition. Often times one character will say one thing to one character and that same thing will be repeated again by another character to a different character, and then the author will reiterate the same thing yet again.
Lots and lots of the setting go unused. The actual "powers" used in the story are space, time, the 5 elements, and the "evil" powers. That's about it. Even though the narrator says there is an endless number of powers (or martial spirits or however they translated it), only a handful are ever shown in the story. In particular, the devouring power is apparently OP and beats everything else so nothing else really matters, which I think is pretty s*upid since in fights it's said "everything has a counter", which apparently does not apply to MC's OP power.
Also, this has been bothering me ever since I read Dark Blood Age (which is one of the worse CN webnovels out there) but:
"COUNTERS" IS NOT A SYMMETRIC RELATION!!!!
You can't have fire counter water and then have water counter fire at the same time! That makes no sense! If fire counters water, then if you have the same amount of fire and water then fire will win. And vice versa. I hate authors who can't keep track of something so simple as "X counters Y" rather than the other way round.
Too many pointless sexual/"intimate" moments with random women we see at most 3 times in the entire story (the encounters consist of conversations about some plot device or a few pages of s*x talk or ecchi, often interrupted by other people walking in). The MC has s*xual encounters with something like 20 different women at different points in the story and even though he has a "main" love interest, they barely spend any time together. Instead the MC spends more time with random women who appear for a few chapters and are never seen again, like that time he had s*x with 4 women in the city. It was very pointless and those women are mentioned only once or twice after that arc. It feels like all these women do is:
1. Stay a virg*n all your life, devote yourself to cultivating your power.
2. MC comes along and steals your v**ginity due to some bullsh*t contrived scenario like you got poisoned and the ONLY WAY to save your life is to have s*x with the MC, or you accidentally drank aphrodisiac and had s*x with the MC.
3. You are now a s*x fiend who can't live without MC's dick. Your entire life revolves around him and you think about him 24/7 for the rest of your life.
This same pattern is repeated throughout the novel and the MC has s*x with like 20 different women this way (the ones he didn't r*pe, at least), who become his companions 4 lyfe (actually not, they're never mentioned again after the arc ends).
It is often mentioned that the MC is supposed to be super wise, smart, cynical and yet he acts on his impulses all the time. Often he does not need to kill someone and yet he does because "she tried to kill me", then it turns out the person he killed was the daughter of some powerful cultivator who then goes on a rampage and kills a bunch of people close to him. For someone who is wise and smart he sure acts impulsively. He couldn't have just let her live. No. He just had to kill her and make enemies for absolutely no reason.
Most of the novel is just pages upon pages of useless backstory or boring fights.
Every fight goes like this:
Bad guy: You stole my woman! Prepare to die!
MC: She chose me of her own accord you cuck.
Bad guy: Let's see how you fare against my special weapon!
Bad guy proceeds to beat the living sh*t out of the MC
MC: Holy shit! I'm about to die!
Suddenly special power comes out of MC's soul and kills the bad guy in one hit.
MC: Phew! That was close!
MC wins all his fights via deus ex machina, like the ray of light that randomly appeared out of this treasure the MC happened to have at the time when the shapeshifter tried to kill him, or the demon that instantly got summoned from billions of km away when the MC was about to die. The magical ring also saves him on multiple occasions, as in a magical light comes out of the ring and kills the bad guy. It's very boring to have all fights won by deus ex machina and the MC goes into most fights without any planning. There is basically no tactics involved during fights at all. Even at the very final chapter where the Big Bad was revealed it was very anticlimatic and the MC wins via pure luck.
Big Bad: I planned this entire story out since billions of years ago when I dragged your soul into my universe.
MC: I can't die because I'm not from your universe.
Big Bad: f*ck. I lost.
The closure was terribad and in the end the MC can apparently bring people back to life, so he should bring back like people who was close to him and died hundreds of years ago right? I can't even remember how many people he wanted to bring back to life. In the end he only remembers a handful from the last arc. Also, he is apparently God now and can create and destroy life as he wants. Also he is going back to his universe but it will apparently take billions of billions of years. I don't even know how the laws of physics work in this universe. Is the author aware of entropy?
Overall it was much worse than I expected and just kept getting worse as we went deeper into the story. I kept on expecting exciting tactics (like in Dungeon Defense) or characters I actually care about (like in Reincarnator) but there was none of that. None of the characters are ever developed beyond "she loves the MC" or "she's a b*tch". They have no substance. The sentences go something like:
>MC is about to die but suddenly female #1241543 saves him but gets seriously injured while saving him.
>MC heals the girl and they have s*x afterwards. She has a smile on her face as they leave their hideout.
It is not developed beyond that and it is very jarring. The MC has s*x with tons of random girls and they all fall for him for no reason other than because they had s*x with him or he saved their lives once. They don't have hobbies, they have no personality beyond loving the MC. The MC and his love interests never discuss any tactics or exchange any ideas whatsoever. In fact all the dialogue in this novel is extremely boring consisting purely of plot exposition. "Did you know that MC did X?" "Wow! No way! I don't believe it!".
The author does not understand show not tell. An example is the "battle formation". So MC's faction knows powerful "battle formations", literally how to arrange troops in battle. Are these formations ever shown? Never. He tells us they have these powerful formations but never shows us, nor does he explain how or why they are superior. It's like saying MC is strong, but not explaining how or in what way he is strong.
All in all a very forgettable novel. On par with Limitless Sword God, but not quite as bad (not to the extent of forgetting about resurrection items since there are no resurrection items in this story - not until the last chapter anyway).
I would say the first few hundred chapters of Realms in the Firmament and Transcending the Nine Heavens are much better than this, so if you want a CN webnovel I would recommend those over this one.
The beginning of the story was good.
MC get power.
MC meet girl, get girl.
MC fearless. Then it gets bad.
The whole MC being a arrogant ass who can't express his feelings.
MC doesn't consider the consequence. (basically dumb MC get save by plot armor)
The whole 100+ chapters was basically useless because the author abandons everything build up. Most of my review are in the spoiler below explaining the bad.
Example of not considering the consequence:
1. Get transfer to another world at the beginning and see girl naked, then start trying to r*pe her. Of course she's going to try to kill you.... Cause of this he later basically ruin her whole family.
2. Kill the clan son that was protecting the two girl when they separated. This cause him to get hunted down, but later get saved by plot armor (good family background).
Some might argue that he was saving them cause that clan was going to give one of the girl away. But what he did was worst cause it basically screw both girls (he doesn't help either of them later).
Example of childish behavior:
When the girls choose the safest way to survive and even invited him to come join them. He just cut all ties (because they didn't choose him, and he's hurt lmfao)
Then he gets all sad cause he see them with someone else. Boohoo...
Starts trying to destroy the place that could have protected at least 1 of the girl.
End around 100+ chapters. The main girl ask for help and is willing to do anything.
MC being a prick he is. Said: "You're not qualified" (Even though he never had that family background until only a few chapters ago...)
The MC just sound like a child throwing a tantrum for not getting what he wants at the very beginning.
Otherworldly Evil Monarch (hate the racist part but was still good. *smart MC with a developed heroine*)
Long Live Summons! (Similar pe*verted MC and sexy time, but at least he's not a total ass compare to God of Slaughter.)
Against the Gods (The world building is good. There's enough mysteries. The harem member are pretty developed. The bad: massacre of innocents for 1 part (only 1 so far hopefully)... A lot of tournaments... Sometimes the MC preach too much...)
Hail the King (smart MC, better moral than any I've read so far. But character development of heroine isn't good)
*The MC is unbelievably s*upid and aggressive, he keeps doing horrible stuff to people way stronger than him and he should have died ten times by chapter 100. The tricks of the author to keep him alive are so ridiculous it is a bit sad. *The hatred of women is really strong in this story, you can feel that the target audience has no hope of ever getting laid. A bit of advice, if it's not your thing DO NOT read the readers comments. It's scary, seriously.
The beef I have with this though is:
- The ring he has is used as a plot armor device waaaaay too much.
- The MC sometimes acts in a manner that is totally different from what he would normally do / what he has set himself out to do, just so the author can introduce a new element into the plot.
At one point, MC decides to focus on learning the deep meaning of his various Martial Spirits, and to use that comprehension to break through to the god boundary. Several dozen chapters later, he somehow gets the idea to study spatial transmission so that he can help bring over his family from one area to another. Because of that though, what he finally comprehends to pass over the god boundary is the strength of space-time. Now, the plot is full of stuff that needs his space-time powers to solve -_-
- fortunately, the author got over his fascination of constantly using the ring as a plot armor device
- unfortunately, s*upidity steeply climbed above triple-facepalm levels by this chapter just to steer the plot the way the author wanted it to. Will be dropping the novel as I can foresee that the rest would just be either endless repetition, or weird decisions leading to plot changes
* rant on *
MC and friends plus opposing side encounter a lifeform that they mutually acknowledge as extremely powerful, and is on the same level as the lifeform that serves as the basis of their universe. They've identified that the goal of this lifeform is to end / consume their universe. To make things worse, the entity they've encountered is only the control portion; there are 11 other portions of the same life form wreaking havoc in various galaxies of their universe.
They manage to suppress the control portion by having someone combust their lifesource. They detect that the 11 other portions are coming back to integrate with the control to fuse into one super powerful entity, and they only have limited time before this happens.
YOU WOULD THINK THAT THEY'D BEAT THE sh*t OUT OF THE CONTROL WHILE THEY HAD THE ADVANTAGE.
This is NOT what happens. What happens is, they decide that it's time for the most powerful warrior from both sides - the ones that could really make a difference in their conflict with the entity - to have a 1-on-1 duel. They duel in a place that's near the control entity (so as to avoid having their camps deal with the side effects of their battle, they say). Everybody else gets so drawn in by their battle that they forget EVERYTHING else. They don't notice that the dude combusting his life source dies, so now there's no suppression on the control. They only notice it when the control sends the two warriors off to another place / dimension. Afterwards, they panic because they notice that there's only moments left before the other 11 portions of the entity arrive and fuse.
*FACEPALM* *FACEPALM* *FACEPALM*
*rant off*
And the translations are getting better now since they are changing their translator
i like his unique martial spirit, the healing and taking qi from dead people, and how he can get a backslash too :) also how he's avoiding that backslash is hilarious (sex)
