As one person mentioned it, 40-50% of the sentences in each chapter are redundant and/or unnecessary repetitions. The author has to come up with a new chapter every day or so, hence I think it's quite understandable. Having said that, I do enjoy the plot and the tension that is built up in each arc. Some arcs are more exciting than others.

Some reviewers stated that the story has a lot of tournament-based arcs, and I agree. However, the competition and excitement about who is going to win or lose or... more>> how the main hero is going to achieve victory, is really the bread and butter of the story. There are, of course, other arcs that don't deal with tournaments but more like world-level disaster.

Overall, I quite enjoy reading True Martial World as it is a guilty-pleasure, casual read, type of series. As mentioned above, you probably want to skim read sometimes to skip to the good part of the story in each chapter and avoid reading all the repetition stuff.

If you are looking for good, light-hearted fun, then this is a good series for you. <<less

Updated review!

2/5 down from 3.4/5.

While the novel does start out fairly good, all of that is lost in a sea of fillers, cliched cardboard characters and an MC that is the very definition of a Gary Stu... The women in this novel are so soulless and empty that they might as well be robots, devoid of any human feelings whatsoever and the plot is slow repetitive and dull. My advise, skip this and read it when it's finished, or save up 100+ chapters, since 75% of those 100 chapters will... more>> be pointless fillers anyway. Another reviewer called this True Tournament World, which I personally found to be very fitting, because when I thought about it, the MC is indeed embroiled in some form of competitive "tournament". Talk about over usage...

This is everything that Martial world isn't, in a good way. The plot, the writing, the villains, the lesser amount of plot holes & way less power-ups makes this superior to MW. While the MC is op, it's not nearly as bad as in MW and he is also quite funny and low key nor is he your generic ruthless killer either that's way to common in the genre. Not to mention the world building, which at the start was way above average. All this make True Martial World better to Martial World in pretty much every way.

However, I really don't understand why the author use the boring "transported to another world" at all, since after the first few chapters it's almost never mentioned again. Why even use such a damned cliche if it's never mentioned again, aside from a few times in the 600+ chapters I've read? Nor does he actually make use of any of modern days conveniences and advantages over an ancient world that's lacking our present day technology. Then again, people in these kind of novels probably have magic ass wipers made from some powerful magic, their entertainment consists of endless training. This makes the reincarnated/transported troupe excessive, pointless and idiotic imo! The start of the novel, where we follow the mc's struggle in a tribal society in a backwards wilderness, was simply amazing, as is the mc's emergence from that almost stone age like society, into your common ancient China like fantasy world. If this was the case, I would easily give this novel 4+, but since this author really loves cliches, it's not.

The world it self is a massive xianxia world, 10x times the size of Jupiter with a population of 100's of billions of people, which is always hilariously bad. A good fantasy novel has to have some sort of believable facts or it's just flawed and takes away the from the immersion. Bigger doesn't mean it's cool or better and is a massive flaw on par with the transported/reincarnation troupe imo. Oh, the MC of course finds an amazing artifact at the start just like in MW... Which is just bad writing, the authors who can construct a story without these deus ex mechanics are worthy of praise, even if you use these mechanics, then use them in such a way that they are actually interesting and unique. The women suffer from the same flaw as in MW, they are dull boring and one dimensional for the most part. The mc's main love interest is just meh, this authors is really bad at writing interesting women unfortunately. While the villains and antagonists are way superior to his previous works, they too unfortunately fall in to the same category, lusting after the mc's women, which of course leads them to be dumb morons who thinks with their dicks instead of like supposed geniuses they are described as.

Still, it's an addictive, enjoyable and entertaining read, even more so than MW. If the author could get rid of his flaws, like his love of tired cliches and write some proper villains & interesting women for once, his next novel would probably be great. Since the start (well, minus the super-powerful deus ex magical object the MC got at the start) of this novel was really, really good. <<less

So good. The character development is decent, the plot is good, but the main thing that sets this story apart to me is that the MC isn't flashy. With the possible exception of the "10 sins" scene early on (no spoilers) he mainly keeps to himself, and when his power IS revealed, it's so satisfying. There are few deus ex machina moments as well, which is a plus. Overall a very good read.

Aside from the occasional redundant sentences which repeat themselves, True Martial World has a story line that, although can be predictable at times, builds up arcs pretty well and resolves in such a way that leaves the reader satisfied.

One of the best stories I've read. Mostly because the world is so vast yet described so well. Usually when authors try to create a vast world it feels very lacking due to bad writing. The only one I feel is similar is the writer of Coiling Dragon. The characters are very likeable. The MC isn't your average xianxia as*hole MC that kills everybody who offends him. This guy is rational, talented, strong and knows how to deal with people.

The plot is very good so far (c391). It tends to... more>> drag out but it's not boring. <<less

TMW, a great novel only prone to it's filler arcs, however, no matter how much the hate TMW gets, it is still one of the very best xuanhuan amongst others, sure the author drags it out and I too, don't like that but when TMW is at it's best, few few novel can actually rival it's quality. The hype, excitement and adventurous feeling TMW provides is just at a very high level. Especially when Yi Yun gets a power up from insights in the laws, the excitement is real.

For the... more>> first 100 chapters, the story is still on the world building phase so be a bit patient when reading, then if you encounter any moments that seemed like the author is dragging it out, just speed-read and get over to the next arc.

Compared to Martial World, TMW is much more refined and the style of writing is better too. Yi Yun feels much more fleshed out than Lin Ming does and the adventures of TMW is much more exciting, especially the tournaments lol. TMW is one of the few novels that their tournaments are actually interesting.

TMW doesn't have a school arc, more like a school for real practinioners, honestly most school arcs are superb boring, TMW shows how can a school for martial arts be like, not like a school for kids. 9.1/10, no matter how much the hate and the dragging out, TMW delivers when it is at it's best, it's a top level xuanhuan read. <<less

This novel really goes into detail and it’s really slow but somehow very satisfying to read. The slow parts aren’t boring at all and the story is progressing in a interesting way!

MC is very intelligent and decisive. Even though he came from a world that had laws restricting mu*der and crime, he shows no mercy in this new world because he understands that the strong prey on the weak.

What’s interesting is that the MC is not a kid gifted with a awesome body and perfect cultivation. Instead, he has really... more>> high perception because of experiences from the modern world, I assume.

(Don’t get me wrong, the MC is definitely OP, but in a good way. :))

Another good thing about the novel is that the enemies of the MC aren’t too difficult to offend. I also like the fact they even if they are arrogant, they quickly accept that others can be more powerful than them.

Spoiler

By doing so, this allows them to have a better relationship with the MC instead of harboring a endless hatred that gets them nowhere...

Well as said in the other reviews the MC is actually smart, and doesn’t focus just on his strength. The villains aren’t as s*upid as other xianxia, and the main character isn’t a pe*vert, and as Aigberth said, I hope he doesn’t become a vengeful brickhead.

sigh, I don’t need another MC like chu feng. I ended up quitting because once it reached somewhere in the hundreds I just couldn’t take it anymore. Like all he does is tick someone off, then he gets ticked off, they do something, and it requires mass killing and humiliation...

Really good. Differs from other stories in the sense that there are very very few plotholes. The characters are not made intentionally s*upid, apart from the MC, and both the characters and the storyline are intelligently written. I frequently don't have to roll my eyes at the s*upidity of the plot armor.

The updates are fast too, that's a plus.

Another thing, unlike other stories, not just the MC, but the villains are smart too. So, it makes it interesting to read how the MC is going to overcome the bad guy.... more>> Secondly, he uses his brain, not just brawn, brawn and brawn. <<less

This was one of the most engaging openings to a cultivation novel out of all that I have read, I would strongly recommend anyone to at least try out 10 chapters, and drop it after that if you aren't interested.

The main character is stuck in a vicious cycle of poverty that is designed to keep the poor oppressed and cuts off any opportunity for self improvement. It is immensely rewarding and satisfying to see him overcome the systematic oppression so that he can feed himself and his sister, and the... more>> descriptions of being poor felt very believable.

The rest of the novel is standard cultivation novel fare, that does nothing special, but is not particularly bad. The moment to moment writing is above average, powerups are frequent and most scenarios involve the MC as the underdog shocking the peanut gallery by succeeding above expectations.

The author avoids having extremely contrived plot developments but has stuck to various forms of tournament arc for the last 500 chapters, which are some of the best parts of these novels but is pretty repetitive. As with most cultivation novels the romance feels unnatural and forced, but I appreciated that the MC has the self control to hold back on using his OP power, in order to not be suspected. <<less

In general the novel is fine. I wouldn't say it's good but its not a waste of time. It's average, a 2 or 2.5 out of 5. But what a shitty ending. The entire last arc was a bit of a rushed mess. The author wrote themselves into a hole and then pulled an artless deus ex machina to resolve it. Even then the story has a ton of loose ends. In general the more powerful Yi Yun got the less sense the story made and the sloppier it got.... more>> Both in terms of plot and prose. It felt like the main character from the authors previous work basically wrapped everything up rather than Yi Yun. Honestly the ending is so weak that it sort of makes it hard to recommend reading.

Martial World is one of my favorite chinese novel, so I had high hope for its sequel. Was I right ? Partially.

The setting is pretty well made, starting small, with hints at the greater worlds of the Empyrean Heavens and beyond shown in all their glory. Sadly, while this glory is written quite right, it feels a bit underused compaired to the little world where the story starts. So while the world is always adequate, there are times it feel just utilitarian.

The cast of the novel is a bit of... more>> a mixed bag. The main character, Yi Yun, is very well made. He is not a retelling of Lin Ming (the MC of the prequel), but an original character who, while courageous, determined and hard to the pain, is not as straightforward and passionned about martial arts as his predecessor. He practices martial arts because it's the path to power in this world, not because of the arts themselves. He also is quite the trickster and pragmatist, with an outlook which shows that he is a transmigrated from the modern world.

The core cast is also quite good, although few remain with the protagonist for the whole story. The most recurring characters are Lin Xintong, his love interest (a great character, strong, clever and determined) and Jiang Xiaorou, his adopted sister (very good also, sweet, kind, with a strong backbone) who, while absent for big parts of the novel, are still important factors in the MC's progression. Other colorful people like Bai Yueyin or Old Snake bring freshness to the story and end up making a fine core cast. Sadly, I can't say the same for the antagonists. Most of them fall into the "arrogant young master" category, even close to the end of the book. There are a few long run antagonists, but most of them are present for one arc or two before going away. As for the main antagonist, his presence is felt in many parts of the story, but quite sporadically, with numerous holes in the final buildup to the climax of the novel, and the character himself is quite shallow (a big minus compaired to Martial World's antagonists).

The power system here is a bit of a letdown. It is pretty good, centered on qi, with very well allegories to characterize the various stages of mastery, and the scenes of progress in cultivation are one of the best of the novel, as I expected of Cocooned Cow. Sadly, what we have here is not a standalone book, it's the sequel of Martial World, which had a much more detailed cultivation system, built on the three aspects of body, qi and soul. And while numerous parts of the story are centered around body cultivation, it does not reach the same level of detail and construction as I expected. Still, the increased presence of Laws in the power system is a fine addition.

The story is of unequal quality, it has a very good first half, with a fine narrative progression and interresting plots and subplots. Sadly, the later half of the novel is made of discontinuous arcs with few relationships between them in term of locations, characters and antagonists (as well as no comebacks to previous "unfinished" locations to really good into the depths of things, a mechanism well used in the prequel). Moreover, beyond the pacing, the main issue is the filler. While it remains sporadic up to around the chapter 1000, it gets bigger after that, above what is required for a good world or story building. The problem only ends with the excellent last arc, in which the author tries to solve most of the subplots he started but did not finish during the previous arcs of the book. It is not to say that the second half of the story is awful, but it is not on par with the first, with too much filler (a recurring problem with Cocooned Cow), but the good parts are very good.

For the translation, CKTalon is a very good translator, who does a fine job at transmitting us the mood and life of the story. His work is at a very high level but is somewhat mared by recuring grammar mistakes (wrong uses of the past tenses and participles, as well as the third person of the present simple), even if they get rarer toward the end of the tale. I think it's worth following his next endeavour in chinese translation.

In the end, True Martial World is a fine novel, but not at the same level as its prequel. It has an excellent protagonist and core cast, but the setting and cultivation system lack details. The story is very good, with the occassional glimpse at Martial World, but the pacing after the first half is pretty uneven, with a big filler issue and an ending which, while very good, is too hurried. As a result, while I really wanted to give the novel a higher mark, I can only give it a 7 out of 10. It's a good read, with very good and even excellent moments, but it's clearly not at the level of Martial World.

P.S: Thanks to Cocooned Cow for writing this novel and to CKTalon for translating it. I'll wait for your next work. <<less

This is my first review ever
in general it is a nice standard xuanhuan (?)
the good thing about it is that the fluctuation of quality is not that much and it stays relatively good on average - there are times when it is very nice and times when it is very dull but on average it stays as a good read.

you have the MC who is "not a saint" but "not a villain" that has a super strong cheat item (which is the item that brought him to... more>> this world) and this item is so absurdly OP is that no one can notice its existence even if they are like the highest beings in existence - hell, no one even notices the effects of this item, though sometimes people notice that something is wrong but refrain from prying.

the MC has a super strong luck coupled with the purple crystal (the op item) to help him realize the opportunities which is an "ok".

the lead female character is the most beautiful female in existence (courtesy to her terminated yin meridians) and the most talented being in the story as she keeps up with the MC with no cheat item that helps her. Though the author just throws her aside and brings her back whenever - oh and she doesn't have that much a personality as the author conveniently let her decide to "just helps the MC with he is doing" no questions asked.

the good thing is that they are basically married so we don't need to watch the romantic progression and such.

not to be confused with the female lead, the sister of the MC is just standard with big backstory and she is the only one that can match the female lead's beauty

the villains are all scumbags and their whole families and sects are cold blooded with blood on their hands with almost no exception. They are greedy, cold blooded, only seek benefits, revenge on the weak and kissass on the strong. They don't even have any solidarity except the needed one for mutual protection.

overall, feels too generic but the execution is not bad and even though there are repetitions it is still fun to read.

from here I will breakdown the story into the arcs and my impression of each one (I hope I don't miss any).

Spoiler

arc 1: beginner village:

a village with a dumb ass rules, they need to reach a certain level of strength for strength to be useful or else strength is worthless, yet they try to cultivate worthless people that don't reach the standard instead of trying to find a suitable talents to cultivate to be at least relevant help for the tribe.

they don't even try to check the talent of children in the tribe, the children have to prove themselves to be talented which so dumb even for primates.

also, needless hierarchy based on strength that doesn't even reach the standard (basically it is like ranking the people who got F on a course based on their grade).

finally, the chief lets his grandson develop a deep seated hatred for the tribe and he doesn't even try to properly mitigate this shit, and he has nothing to do except watch his grandson train..

extra, su jie is so shitty and dump, he sees the MC cooks super good and instead of taking him as a chef with a little bit of training on the side to extend his lifespan enough to serve as su jie's chef for longer time. He just is interested and leave it to fate to decide if he meets him again (instead of helping the guy and benefiting from him, he decides to leave him be as he thinks he has no talent). Especially when it is mentioned that no cooking heritage exist in this world.

arc2: selection arc.

ok did I say before that the village had dumb rules? The kingdom mostly have the same dumb rules if not dumber.

first, the guy from the jin long wei teach them a useless skill (the author mentions it is profound) but in the end it doesn't appear again in the whole story just like shitty skill it is.

they base their first selection on how good the body is at absorbing energy (which somewhat smart) but the overall selection depends on power. They don't care if a prince of a big tribe, with infinitely many times as much resources as a whole small tribe, is slightly stronger than a beggar of a small tribe, with no resources whatsoever. The prince clearly is stronger and as such he is a better candidate.

second, they compare scions from big family clans with strong cultivation inheritance to tribal people with that train with a fragmented standard technique that is available for everyone. Which is to say, a dump way for trying to train an army.

finally, they allow the competition in an "army" so much that it might even cripple some of the soldiers which is a dumb move.

arc3: tai ah divine city

first, it is a place nurture future geniuses yet the people treat it as a training place (the special thing about it are the abundance of resources and ability to buy cultivation techniques) with no comprehensive understanding of the trainees or even a good training program, tutelage or any sort of management.

with the excuse of competition they just provided a special currency and let loose all the student to try to train however they like with not so much a guidance (except the foolish test at the start and the other foolish test at the end of first year).

they have duels that can cripple people, with the excuse of life and death battle experience, which is basically just a way to kill and cripple future geniuses with the excuse of competition.

they have wilderness to do experiential training and gather resources for the city but they fail to manage the trainees and end up with needless casualties because of grudges and people moving around the rules and people biting more than they can chew. (I get the independence part but they should have a way to conserve their geniuses)

overall, the city is a good training place with a the super dump idea of competition breeds strength and kill the weak to nurture the strong, which is worse than the animals logic if I must say.

note: no wonder tai ah divine kingdom is considered a backwater kingdom of barbarians.

arc 4: tai ah divine city destruction

first note: this arc is more like a transition arc. However, gotta like the majesty of the "Shen Tu". The most majestic scene is their airships arrival.

First is the inter tournament. Basically, the tournament was a proxy war between the two kingdoms and the first depiction of the enemy kingdom is that they are villains with the snake guy and his lackeys.

I think they put no kill rule but the way they just cripple people instead of killing them is just absurd and dump.

second is the evacuation. This part has nothing to speak of.

maybe the part where they treat yi yun specially kind of feels out of place but whatever.

finally is the capture and rescue part, this part is of the story is very nice with no flaws to speak of (if I remember correctly).

Note: this part was mostly action which I think is the strong point of the author and the part which makes this whole novel have good overall rating.

arc5: into tian yuan world

first, instead of questioning how yi yun got this strong and having doubts about if his talent really is the below average talent that he assessed in his first meeting. He keeps thinking he is a below average talent that he wouldn't really amount to much in desolate heaven technique instead of trying to train him a bit to see what he can do (since he already surprised him once).

second, the lin family is pressured by the shentu family just because the shentu have a medicine the might be able to cure xingtong and make her peerless. First of all, the family never cared about xingtong and they are enemies with the shentu clan (at least not friendly with them). So, how do they trust that the shentu will not lie to them or how do they trust that xingtong will not abandon her family especially when they have sold her to the shentu.

Finally, they were fine all these years without ever thinking that xingtong might be cured so why do they find it as a very beneficial to the family and are willing to put down their enmity for no concrete evidence when they are stable enough not to even need the so called benefit.

arc6: great empress mystic realm

first, we see again the dumb criteria for successor selection, current power vs current age. They disregard the origin heritage and training time of the individual which is clearly very very dumb.

second, we see better criteria in he god advent tower which concerns the speed of cultivation given the same choices.

third, we see how dump the item spirit is when she lets the yin specter enter the god advent tower. So much for an uncountable years of existence.

overall, a very good arc.

arc7: martial alliance

This arc is well written that nothing really dumb comes to mind.

note: a little bit skeptical of how all the people just got tricked by the alliance. Also, the alliance head really is a rare smart guy in this story

arc8: demon disciple

again we see the dumb criteria from choosing a successor. Power vs age. No consideration to origin heritage or training time. Good job pure yang sword palace owner.

the whole arc is good though, I fail to remember and dump parts.

arc9: into empyrean heaven

First, good job leaving the best heritage out there to go to a shitty empyrean heaven just get destroyed in the middle of the road.

Second, way to let your disciples compete to the point of grudge again. (In the lou family)

Third, again with the criteria of power = talent.

Fourth, way to compare a 5000ish crimson firmament to a 20ish or 30ish purple spirit (instead of waiting for her to grow).

Fifth, they won't play favorites even though yi yun clearly showed his atrociously overwhelming superiority even though logically they should nurture him to benefit not let him fend for himself. (They still look down on him because he is a human).

Finally, they think of backing as a good thing while in fact nurturing a guy without backing is much better because there are no other parties interest.

overall, a dumb guy leaving the best heritage for shit

overall, a dumb society that think power is everything even though they are trying to nurture the talented.

arc10: primordial empyrean heaven

first, they let a candidate they want to nurture doing something completely fruitless (they thought it was fruitless)

second, they didn't even try to ask how yi yun was able to understand from something inconceivable.

third, I shouldn't said this in he last arc but they let a guy with completely no known background into their secret tests and sh*t with no contract or any way to prove that he won't betray them.

overall, they did some smart moves when they let ye yun continue his training indefinitely when he proved that he is capable. Which is one the smartest moves in this story.

arc11: azure wood realm

Again, fictitious rain lord doesn't really try to enforce any kind of management for potential candidates and lets them fend for themselves.

Second, he even let his student in name do the test which is greatly in their favor not to let anyone pass.

Third, he actually watches his old sect trying to begrudgingly cripple yi yun which he thinks is a suitable candidate while he does nothing just because of a word or two.

Fourth, after accepting a student he immediately put him through enormous danger by taking him to azure wood world.

Fifth, instead of trying to keep yi yun away from the danger in azure wood world (even though he knows that to enemy sects of yi yun are there) he leaves him alone.

overall, a lot of dumb stuff happen in this arc like holy hell, did you lose your brain after living million+ years?

arc12: pure yang empyrean heaven

too lazy to try to remember so I will update at a later time
