there are many repetition in the story... such as, arrogant fool antagonists, antagonist always came from powerful family, but its still enjoyable to read... though side character doesnt get much spotlight as main character, they are still pretty interesting

main character most time really polite, sometime he can be a dick, especially to his future father in law

first half of the story focus on nie li building his power and connection to save his city from upcoming disaster, few about destroying evil guild, while the rest seems to focusing on getting... more>> power and connection to defeat sage emperor...

until latest chapter author still doesnt explain the cause of disaster <<less

Used to be one of my favourite novels. Now though, my interest is rapidly fading due to the current atmosphere in the novel. Things I find disappointing include:
Spoiler

- The cultivation path. The fact that death has become meaningless removes a lot of the tension in my opinion.
-Group battles/army gathering. The writing of the few of these battles I've read is extremely lackluster and glossed over by the author. Also the gathered nameless mob is so one dimensional that my interest is nowhere to be found.
-Lack of any meaningful villain. Currently all we have are permanently stuck up/arrogant idiots who only antagonize the MC (for completely meaningless things) so that he always has someone to beat up/screw over. Just one cut and paste after another. This is honestly what bothers me the most, since we used to have a meaningful villain/s and there is the last boss looming in the future too.

[collapse]

Hoping things will get better after this arc but somehow I'm not too optimistic.

Very Good Novel. MC is OP but still has to strive to get his powers. The novel is not your ordinary novel. To those who love wuxia and xianxia this novel will not disappoint you. The story plot and how it develops is written very well. Every moment, Every development will not bore you. This is a work of art.

This light novel is not bad. The MC is pretty overconfident but at least he knows his stuff. It's interesting to read, but the thing I don't like at this light novel is the romantic stuff because why would he in love to a 13 - 14 year old girl but his actually more than 100 years old. There is a huge age gap...

An interesting read with the time travel concept being well utilized but can sometimes get a bit repetitive something happening then MC taking a trick out of his hat of badassery and solving the problem.

The romance side is a bit weird. The girl the MC likes hasn't had much of a character development and is a bit 1D (at least till now) whereas every random girl that falls for the MC gets alot of screen time and development but the novel nevertheless is an interesting wuxia/xuanhuan novel with a powerful... more>> MC who utilizes the knowledge he gained in his first walk through in his new game+

Recommended to any wuxia fan or ppl interested in cool guy whi get all the pretty girls :p <<less

Im currently caught up and I dont understand alot of peoples views on this novel. It started out really good and was very catchy. From the story to the character developments it was really good. I will admit it falls off later in the story and I feel there are many reasons for that, but the way he handled the story was still great.
Spoiler

keep in mind there are no time skips in this book longer than a month or 2, and hes trying to accomplish what took him hundreds of years to do in 5 and thats reach the pinnacle of power. Someone said that the MC was to arrogant and hes selfish. This is far from the truth, after living one life as a timid person, being weak and stepped on, and not having power to save his friends, he was not gonna live the same way and be treated the same way, therefore leading to his arrogance and its most of all a show for others. During the time period they are portraying, power and status was a very big deal so him, never backing down and looking like and arrogant person is not because thats who he is, its because he refuses to be weak or helpless again therefore he always puts himself in the position of power or finds himself at odds with others that are. To me the MC is one of the greatest ive seen.


Hes honest with himself and he knows who he is and what is end game is. He knows the future to an extent, so he can be arrogant he knows who he can challenge and he knows what to expect and how certain people operate. He is very caculative and mysterious to others. People say hes selfish because he doesn't share everything. Even in todays society how many of you are sure the government is not with holding information??? Why do they do it??? To keep it out of the wrong hands!!! Its been said many times in the story. If he was to divulge all information into a city that had enemies in disguise would be down right foolish. All in all I feel this deserves at least a 4 out of 5.

i haven't read plenty of Chinese web novels but there is one thing I know, when reading a story of this type, the type being close to anime/TV shows, the premise has to be grandiose- so the story could continue for a long while. After getting hooked and catching up to the translations I reread the old chapters. There are plenty of small questions that allow the story to develop, some have been used others haven't yet. As for the MC being hundreds of years old and yet still is... more>> childish, in my opinion if he wasn't acting more like his young age and more like his souls age then he would lose his charm. After all he is a kid, his past life only gave him knowledge. And as for MC not having a rival/s I feel this is the only draw back. Since he is destined top fight the sage emperor and achieve the pinnacle of cultivation his only driving force is his will to protect his friends. I wish there was even a friendly rivalry to push him beyond his limits (say a gifted guy who wants his love), so far in all
Spoiler

except one

[collapse]

The storyline that is being played out here is a long one, just like TV, manga and comics there are bound to be some repeated concepts
Spoiler

no matter what realm he goes he always finds a way to get extreamly rich

[collapse]
that twist makes it plausible for the MC to do what he does, (and it's not like the solution to a problem comes from thin air, usually it's always a new use of something old. <<less

4/5 (good). MC is powerful due to his vast knowledge allowing him to choose a superior cultivation route. You'll see a lot of the low score givers point this out, but they don't seem to understand that THIS IS HIS SECOND RUN THROUGH LIFE. Like a second play-through in a video game, he knows how to train, where the items are, how to make money, and how to hit all the flags with love interests. It's the entire premise of the story, if you don't like it, don't read it.... more>> If you can accept this point, then you'll find it quite enjoyable.

It is nice reading a story where a person can correct the wrongs they did before, and try to make a perfect run through. The author does a good job diversifying it up at the beginning, between cultivation, bullies, making money, etc, and the fights tend to be quite good and non-repetitive. The post-Glory City arc tends to get a bit boring, but it actually becomes quite good later on when they go beyond the tiny world. Of course, it becomes good not because of it being original, rather it copies a lot of other Wuxia series, the cliche plots when joining a new sect.

I can't give this novel a five star rating though because a lot of some of the glaring flaws. The main character's devotion to his previous love is unreasonable (he lived for thousands of years, he would've gotten over it), the other characters aren't very useful (they don't really matter much), and a lot of the plot seems to become jumbled and messed up later. The glory city arc was well composed, but when they came to the next arc, it seems the author wanted to change directions and kind of skimmed over a lot of plot points with little detail.

Overall, if you want something slightly harem (like I said, side characters don't really matter much, they seem to come and go), with an op MC going through a second run of life, it's a really good read. But if you're like some of the other reviewers who seem to be looking for deep romance with a tr*sh MC character... you're in the wrong place. Go back to bleach. <<less

Started off with omg this novel is really good. its unlike any other reincarnated/ do over novels out there. the cultivation/ leveling up is unique. the MC is so cool, he’s smart. he also helps his friends develop with his knowledge. the fights are also not badly written cause I usually dont read fight scene cause most author tend to repeat the name of a single move excessively or explain a move using one or two chapters. this novel is perfect! butttttt.... as the story progress, the author started to... more>> let his own personal pedo taste slip in. the author tries to explain how a 13-14 year old girls has this beatiful godly face and perfect body. as the MC gains power and respect, he starts being a jerk to other older people around him (sure he basically lived a 1000 years in his past life but he’s still living in a 13 year old body at the moment). He does not show any respect to his clan elders just cause he’s earning money through his schemes. he does not even show any respect towards the father of his crush.

Spoiler

due to MC being in danger, father and clan of his crush lets him stay with them. but father catches the MC sneaking in daughter house and taking a bath there, so father kicks the mc’s ass. but MC does not feel any guilt instead gets angry at father as if its his right to do so and even swore he’s gonna take revenge on father.

[collapse]
sure you can argue the MC was joking and it was funny. yes. it was funny the 1st few times but MC decides to go troll all the way. I decided to drop the novel after they entered the netherworld. reason is cause

Spoiler

MC has a crush on one girl (girl A) while at the same time there was another girl (girl B) that liked the MC but the MC decides that he would ignore the girl’s feelings cause he already has feelings for girl A (i dont remember their names cause I dropped the series) . eventhough girl B makes it obvious that she likes the MC but he still ignore her feelings. okay I can respect that he wants to be resolute that he loves girl A. when they entered netherworld, the team got separated. MC was stuck with girl A and got into a fight. after the fight, MC and girl A suddenly met girl B walking with a stranger that they didnt know. girl B had a good impression on the stranger and they got along fairly well. but the MC suddenly got jealous and treats the stranger with hostile. MC even started to troll and call the stranger a sissy. like wtf?

initially I felt this series should get 5/5 no less but now I feel I deserves 3/5 at best. well some people do like trolls so this novel might be perfect for them cause other than the troll MC I actually find the plot to be okay. <<less

Spoiler

I’m not a big fan of this series mainly because of how creepy it is that the MC manipulates a barely teenage girl with the intent to seduce her given that he is an old man who has reincarnated into his past self. Just put me off the whole deal. In general its a generic as hell story outside of that anyways.

A lot of people pointed out the lack of respect from the MC towards his elders and his overall attitude of being a jerk (to put it very mildly), but I think that’s not THAT much of a deal breaker. The MC has huge life experience, plus he already knows most of the people, that he’s being rude to. Even if they’ve technically haven’t done anything to him (yet).

Regarding the 13 yo stuff, yes, it’s a bit weird, fortunately it has not devolved into something s*xual (not really a spoiler),... more>> but the novel is thematically set in ancient times and at that age they were already pumping out babies. It’s actually pretty tame compared to other novels and especially compared to real life.

What really drags the score from 5/5 to 4/5 for me is the moving of the goal post. I’ll put this in spoiler since it’s technically a short summary of the novel:

Spoiler

First we have the journey to the top of the class, then to the top of Glory city. OK he is now close to being the best.

Well the Dark guild has x3 times the strength, that Glory city has. OK... well, if he just get’s a bit stronger... Oh, wait, the other clans in the Nether realm are a LOT stronger than the Dark Guild.

So our aim is to be the best in the Nether realm, right? Nope, this entire world is actually a puny little part of some bigger world (literally named Tiny world) and the Legendary rank is equal to garbage.

In short it feels like I’ve read 3 different light novels. God growth spirit? Well now there are 3 grades of spirits. Legendary rank item? Well now there are 10 grades of those. We constantly have the rug pulled from under our feet and wind up back at the bottom of the power ranks.

[collapse]

My harsh review in no way means I don’t like the light novel, as I’m still giving it a 4/5. It’s easily one of the best I’ve read. <<less

Currently on chapter 260

Has a well written reincarnation/Do over story. MC uses his past knowledge and experiences to Fight/cultivate and think his ways out of situations. Harem is decently written, no aphrodisiac/situation r*pe (so far). PROS

-Decently written

... more>> -Well paced (no long dragging powering/cultivating up chapters)

-Smart/unique MC using his pass life knowledge to cultivate and fight.

-Harem is decently written.

-Fights are well paced.

-Has funny and comedic moments.

-No repetitive arcs (eg. Chase arcs, tourney arcs, cultivating arcs etc.)

-Very easy to understand power/cultivating levels (bronze, silver, gold, legend etc..)

CONS

-chapter release can be slow (avg 3-6 release a week)

-MC pass life not properly explained (more could be explained in later chapters)

-Countries and Continents are not explained properly

-Story is very MC centric, usually never see any other characters points of view

Overall good typical Chinese novel, mainly because of the pacing and arcs. <<less

The story is centered around the MC, Nie Li. “Well, duh”.

... more>>
Spoiler

But when I say centered, I mean that the only person who seems capable of getting sh*t done is the MC. Everybody is just f*cking around, not giving a fine f*ck about the fact that the city they live in what might be the last stronghold of humanity, and it’s constantly attacked by skyscraper-sized monsters. Glossing over the bad writing, the shitty harem, and the overly graphic descriptions of bodies belonging to 13-year-olds (isn’t that like, pedophilia? The MC is at least a thousand years old) and the fact that our MC has been

MADLY

IN

LUV

with the female lead for the last thousand years for no f*cking reason (she has the personality of a teatable) the absolute worst part of this novel is that Nie Li’s actions don’t seem to follow any logic. The prime example being:

As I said, the setting is that they all live in a happy little town which is coincidentally the last human settlement (whether this is true or not we don’t know, cuz f*ck worldbuilding amirite) and is also uninterruptedly sieged by monsters. Probably. This part too is confusing.

We learn, through Great Nie Li’s ungodly knowledge (sharpened by reading ten thousand years worth of erot*c fiction and bad xianxia inside a book) that the not-so-glorious Glory City will be destroyed in a few years, and Nie Li’s family, friends, cat, dog, parrot and girlfriend will all die. A horrible death. Which is an ending I would be fine with but our Hero decides that he MUST save the city (read: Ye Ziyun). At this point you would think that he should reveal his state as a a reincarnated person and use his knowledge to improve the city’s whole military prowess, right? No, the little bit*h only helps the ones he likes, when he could increase their chances of survival by giving aid to everyone in the city. F*cking bullshit.

EDIT: I picked it up again for shits and giggles and oh boi was I in for a ride. This mofo has been ignoring Ning'er since forever but now he sees her talking with another guy and he suddenly feels jealous? Get your ass in gear you f*cking loser. He is like 2000 yrs old and gets mad because a 12 yo stole his second girlfriend. This is comedy gold

Story is more in depth than any other novel I've read. Good to know that side characters don't get missed out unlike some novels where they don't mention side characters until the author remembers about them which ticks me off sometimes. Anyways this is ranked as if not the best then one of the top novels going.

4/5 for now.. but will probably change it to 5/5 when more of it gets translated :D.. Interesting start with a cliche-like premise but it gets better with the epic personality of Nei Li... A good thing about this novel is the attention to the supporting characters and their own journey from weak to OP

I actually really like this novel.. it's just that I have to keep stopping when I meet characters of his harem. Some are so flat I want to cry. And the MC can be a real jerk at times. ?

Other than that great concepts, amazing backstory, and clear motivations. There us actually something driving the story. If it wasn't for the mc's attitude at times I'd give it a four maybe a five... but it's probably a three-ish for me. ?

Currently I'm really far behind. I'll update once I catch... more>> up. <<less

One of the best novels highest problem I had with it was its incredibly slow start as the MC has memories of his past life it was very intresting to see him grow but knowing allmost nothing of his past life before he revived? Made him abit harder to conenct to as the begining of the story but I dont sugest you miss this story is trully great
