Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Just as a gamer found an overpowered skill book called ‘Item Upgrade’ in the hottest virtual reality role-playing game on Earth, something happened to the game’s system, causing his soul to leave his body and go to another dimension. Common sense dictates that he would be born anew then become the greatest overlord of this world by making use of his advanced knowledge. Not in this case! He was already dead. Only some fragments of his soul and that skill book managed to get into that dimension and merge with an ordinary common youngster called Bai Yunfei.

This was the enormous Tianhun continent, where humans could be said to have no limits. There was a group of humans here who could cultivate the power of their own souls then control their bodies, the natural elements and even other people’s souls with that power! These special beings were called — soul cultivators. Come witness how the several fragments of the dead inter-dimensional traveler’s soul and that skill book, which was not governed by the laws of this plane, were going to help Bai Yunfei become a legendary soul cultivator and craftsman!

The Idea of the story had potential but the writing is terrible. The protagonist seems to be s*upid. they take the hard path more often than not and never learn from their mistakes. The author seems to struggle with fleshing out ideas and descriptions, instead opting to repeat the same thing in different ways for one to 4 paragraphs when they need to hit word count. He loves to say "X doesn't even need words to describe it" or variations of that. The author also makes the protagonist do s*upid... more>> things, repeatedly, to advance the story and add twists. effectively the protagonists s*upidity is the authors crutch, yet our protagonist is a genius... often the author tries to add lines intended to sound deep but just end up sounding silly.

If that weren't enough, the translator (editor?) seems to have a terrible grasp of the English language. It is not rare to see words that are inappropriate in context with the rest of the sentence inserted, often with the same mistakes repeated. common phrases are butchered, sometimes leading to self contradictory lines. lots of unnecessary addition of words as well as absence of necessary words. Double negatives abound.

Between the inexperienced author and the translators ignorance of the English language, this novel becomes very hard to enjoy. As I tried to read this novel I just keep being reminded of the invisible dragon (look it up on this site if you don't know that it is). <<less

This is an awesome tale that I personally love - in my opinion, a true hidden gem.

It does have its flaws that are minor when considering the pros. It's just an incredibly immersive story that takes you through a fantastic story filled with action, comedy, and tragedy. I love how well developed the main cast is, even though the female lead is a little annoying in my opinion. But that said the author is brilliant when setting up new scenarios, and settings. And from the author notes I can gather... more>> that when writing upgrade specialist in another world, he/she had only just begun writing and was experimenting and learning while writing.

In short its a simple yet fun read that I HIIIIIIIIIIIGHLYY recommend!!!!!!!!!! <<less

I would probably have rated this a 3 if it weren't for the disappointment factor. See, this is basically an average, nondescript cultivation novel with no major bad points or good points. If you've read a few cultivation novels you won't find any surprises. It's just that I expected more character from an average person who's forced to use a brick as a weapon at the beginning, but he quickly becomes just like any other xianxia protagonist (cunning, brutal, loyal to friends... except when doing something else would move the... more>> plot along of course). No growth or anything towards that, he's just suddenly like that.

I recommend reading the first couple of chapters so you know how the "cheat" works, and the first few fights are entertaining enough. If you like the concept of the cheat you'll enjoy the novel to some extent. If the upgrade system doesn't really interest you, you might as well forget this novel exists. <<less

It start nice and okay story to enjoy. Not fascinating to the point you cant stop yourself to continue read it, just it is refreshing to read. The MC has good senses, cold headed and worked systematically. Think before act. Not that someone who coward or dont dare to do something unexpected. However it all changed since he join the school. He became hot headed. Especially that scene where his lover got hit. I cant accept so many of his decision, literally skip half of the chapter, reading the book... more>> became a torture so better drop it. <<less

So far, so good. First chapter starts out pretty generic - a super-leet pe*vert protagonist with suspiciously competent skills transmigrates while in a video game, and he's bringing a rare skill with him! Only, he runs into the new world's soul defenses, and his soul promptly explodes. Enter the actual protagonist, who's a fairly average person. He gets the ability to refine items, which is pretty powerful. Instead of becoming a typical wuxia protagonist, he retains his morals and doesn't actually slaughter his way across the continent the moment he... more>> gains power.

What I like about this story is that the protagonist loses, but he doesn't lose in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. He fights against stronger opponents and often has to run, but he also takes losses. He's not an idiot protagonist, either - he spots treachery well in advance. I find the MC as a well balanced mix of competent and kind, which is pretty rare in this type of story. <<less

At first the title was a major turn off but then I decided to read it anyway, and it wasn't a complete waste of time, MC gets an obviously major advantages compared to rest, but not so far as to easily slay anyone... so it's still fair I guess?

pros :
ruthlessness is enough
not a complete twat
fast paced but yet not overbearingly fast
typical xianxia world with the twist of the MC

cons:
MC is still "kidlike" no experience whatsoever in any matter, mortal or immortal world
too weak but yet aloof, hope this won't go on too far

Anyway it's still the beginning, so I'll definitely keep on reading, recommended

It was enjoyable at the beginning, then slowly became pretty monotonous. I stopped immediately after guns were introduced; I have no interest in a classic Wuxia story that suddenly throws in guns after a few hundred chapters.

Okay, so 3 stars. The concept of upgrading in this story is quite interesting at first but soon lost its novelty. The upgrade becomes a convenient plot armor and crisis generator for the author, where effects are added, triggered or not, and improved at the whims of the author for the sake of story varieties. The story overall is also kind of rinse and repeat, I get this in a lot of Wuxia but at least they have many arcs with variations amd chance meeting, while in USAW it's more... more>> 'move to another place meet another enemy'

And yeah, the story itself is 'finished but not finished' since the author is suppose to write book 3 but didn't do it. Not bad if you got nothing to read for the 2/3 of the novel, at the last third you'd wish you can finish it fast <<less

I really think you should try to read this novel if you are tired of the generic MC in the majority of the chinesse novels. Yeah he starts a bit naive, maybe dumb, but just look at the enviroment he grew up in... I remember some coments saying hes dumb becouse he thinks hes slow when in reality he's increadibly fast cultivating... well he's new to that world then, no one told him anything so... duh!. And Even then, overpowered?, godly cultivation speed? - nope aaaand nope, yeah he's stronger... more>> than average for his level, cos of his equipment, and he's faster than average, but not something totally unheard off. Contrary to the majoerty of the wuxias the MC is not a GOD that can go around killing enemies 3 steps ahead of him, he's simply better than normal and even that has a justification. And again, a refreshing MC that is not a complete jerk that goes around mass killing and thinking he's noble because someone looked him badly first...

My conclusion, its quite worth to read it, simply to break from the norm, its not perfect in any way, but is... refreshing. <<less

I actually quite like this novel. It can be a little boring the first few chapters (as you would expect to establish word building) but not too slow IMO that you would end up wanting to drop it.

It's refreshing to see an MC that has still remained as kind as he can without being taken advantage of too much. He still helps other people as best as he could and refrains from pointless slaughter. Sure he did some dumb emotional things at the first book but he has learned... more>> to pacify his feelings and calmed down later on. He's really OP now but has still not shown too much arrogance, at least IMO.

It's also refreshing to see how he has built his way to the top without previous world knowledge as his arsenal. Not saying I don't like those, but it's refreshing to see another way.

The romance is okay. It's there but it's not the main focus of the story ib any way. I think it's the author's way to spice things up in the story.

I honestly think this is an understated novel and you guys should check it out. <<less

Chapters read: 27

Oddly enjoyable. Imagine your grandfather finding out how to play a video game and how upgrading a weapon works. Now give him some cheatcodes so his character levels a bit faster than usual. Now give him a side kick... ez now you have USAW. This story to me is more of a "Nothing else is out might as well catch up" type story than a must read. Not my cup of tea, but still entertaining I suppose.

Don't let the title and the picture fool you, it's just like a Xianxia with a little twist. I like it so far, the MC is quite original and not so ruthless like many other Xianxia MC's. He has a clear mind, trying to live without much bloodshed but is not afraid to act if it is to protect the weak etc. Try the first chapters, it will give you a feel if this novel is for you. I would recommend it!

It's still under 10 chapters, but it's very interesting! I can't quite put my finger on it yet, but it doesn't feel like a typical xianxia. Also, the beginning of the story is hilarious. At the very least, check it out because He-man is translating. Will probably edit this later when there are ~50 chapters.

Its a xianxia with a comedic feel to it. A combination between game elements (upgrade system) and xianxia.. Which is the first for me. Its a good read!

Somewhat okay book.

The MC is sensible but most of times make wrong decisions, that make him much more human when compared with cardboard MCs from most xianxia.

The problem lies in the enemies and friends, everyone except for him and his beast friend are pushovers.

... more>> The author keep pushing more and more overhead battles for THE MC but it get real boring, the whole sh*t is the MC running on and on saving pushovers friends, colleagues and seniors.

There's one somewhat villain in the book, he shows up relatively soon in the book but his IQ get lower and lower as he abandon his plans to keep pushing cardboard minions to fill MC pocket.

Everything keep repeating till the ascension like most xianxia.

It's predictable with a few ups and downs.

Don't expect much from villain not the MC.

Also, the author suffer for serious amnesia, he forget many useful skills the MC learn to make the upgrade sh*t shine even more with dumber effects. <<less

The upgrade part to the story seems interesting at first and the way the main character had to fight hard to escape. After that it was all downhill and repetitive.

Some people talked about the gamer at the start of the novel, why mention him? The author wanted to show crossing over to another world/dimension is easier said than done. Originally there were signs showing that the shards of memories of the gamer affecting the rather boring main character. Yes Bai Yunfei is a very boring and dull character.

One of the... more>> major villain seemed much more interesting and I'm more on his side than Bai Yunfei and his sect.

Spoiler

Dongfang Ming instead of being the villain I see him being the victim. He was originally in love with Cang Yu and wholeheartedly focused on crafting. He returned from one of his supply trips with a formula to craft a demonic armament, which is a taboo in the crafting school. He was later expelled after using his friend's blood and soul to craft the armament.

Now the issue here is...

  • Huangfu Nan (fellow disciple/current elder) was his love rival and there was a hint that he actually setup Dongfang Ming. He stole Cang Yu and got her pregnant. Not sure why others failed to pickup on this.
  • Cang Yu (fellow disciple/current elder) if she really loved him so much. Why wouldn't she do her utmost to stop him from the doomed path. Nope I go and sleep with your love rival Huangfu Nan, who I wasn't even interested in in the first place.
  • Bai Yunfei (our dull and heroic main character) was using a demonic armament. You can't craft a demonic armament but it's fine to use a demonic armament? Sure thing. Love the technicality.
  • Crafting School was a school dedicated to crafting items using all kind of ingredients from inanimate objects to beasts and other races. But unfortunately we just cannot use humans. Other living and intelligent creatures are perfectly fine.

The author really wanted to create an evil villain but you can see the hypocrisy and real villainy lies with the Crafting school. No doubt Dongfang Ming is now an evil thing that needs to be destroyed but those who condemn him in the story probably deserve karma themselves.

If it's not for the villain I would raise this to 3 stars. <<less

Good premise, I enjoyed it enough to read up to the latest 842 chapter.

But once you reach 1000, you feel like it all just restarting from the beginning. Even if it picks up pace later for the remaining 300 chapters, you all feel that drastic fall from a cliff into an endless abyss of boredom.

... more>>
Spoiler

Its when he gets amnesia and the author finally introduces that the MC is actually reincarnated and his memories seep over. Didn't read beyond that point when he met up with the spar-eating dog

[collapse]

Upgrade wise, it all caps at 13 so from how I see it. Introducing Planar Laws and Chaos energy or Tianhun's foe from outside the realm yet really just gives an excuse for the MC to have a power up over century old Soul-Kings.

Drop it once you reach that point of boredom. Cus you'll be stuck for over 30 chapters dealing with it. <<less

This novel is a decent filler novel aswell when you cant find anything else to read

Dont expect the MC cheat ability to help the MC that much, more often than not, it screws him over and to hide his secrete the plot is scarified.

The Romance is the slow and shallow kind

... more>> The side Characters have more of a personality than the mc

This book is in no way a comedy

People are always amazed by what is MC can do or his speed of cultivation, even though his achievemnts are considered sub par campared to the previous arcs genius <<less

I have to admit the prelude was horrible I didn't even understand it maybe that was just me yeah just get past that and it goes up hill from there.

I like this novel I will never say anything is the best thing every so yeah im addicted to it...

Few things I love about it is the MC is so damn human gets drunk on power even though he tries not too he does at times. horrible at directions... and here I thought I was bad at directions okay maybe im... more>> just as bad as him I maybe worst but I have GPS hahaha.. so yeah but other then that

yes he is human so it is also a down side in the story I mean humans don't think of all the issues of what can come of there actions so of cause his actions leads to him getting even more trouble... I mean
Spoiler

I mean if he wasn't so attach to revenge int he first part I think he wouldnt have nearly as much problems as his is having now but... then you wouldn't be reading this now would you

[collapse]

Over all its worth reading giving it try... I find the battles sometimes really hard to read but that because im a slow reader and there's a lot of detail going into the battles <<less
