it's okay but the fox accompanying him is just so infuriating. The bit*h stole priceless treasures from his cult and the bastard act like nothing happened everywhere they go she just cause immense trouble and never actually help him

Your enjoyment of this story is going to depend very heavily on what you want out of it.

The main weakness is that literally anything can happen at any time. This applies to not only the fights but also the plot.

The fights that don't end immediately are pretty awful. As literally anything can and will happen, there's not any point in trying to predict or anticipate anything. It's not weird for the MC to pull something entirely new out of his ass. The only assurance is that MC will end up... more>> looking awesome - or is supposed to, at any rate. As a result, they are a real drag. They're also very difficult to follow. It's not only "anything goes" but also very high-fantasy, or at least the xianxia/xuanhaun version of it. I suspect the raws might be written very poetically or something, but it certainly doesn't come through at all in the translation. Your best bet is to just roll with it, because it doesn't matter anyway. You really just have to get through them a lot of the time. It's by far the most unfortunate part of this story. I almost rated this a 3 because of it. I'd probably give it a 3.5 if I could.

Another thing you may not like is how poorly the MC really takes advantage of the techniques he has available. This is mostly the very normal stuff - an amazing disguise technique that is only ever used to try to play a trick on others, but never used proactively to keep one safe. So if you can tolerate it elsewhere, it shouldn't be too hard to tolerate here either.

The setup isn't too s*upid though. He's really got a lot of advantages, but at the same time it's not just stuff that's being done for him. Sure he got given like 5-10 top-of-the-world-level techniques and is pretty good at them despite being barely a teenager, but he's had a small hoard of old monsters devoted to raising him since he was a baby. He certainly does get treasures and stuff too, but overall it mostly feels like he's at least worked for what he's got, unlike some of the other extremely OP MCs out there. But he also does a lot of comprehending stuff in like 1/1000th of the expected time too which... well is still his own ability at least.

The translation is also just tolerable. No real work has been done to make it understandable in English, and there are a lot of the typical translation oddities that come through. "You can't win me" instead of "You can't beat me" kind of stuff. It's understandable with just a little though usually, and if you read other not-amazing translations you're probably used to it already.

What makes this novel worth reading is really the MC's interactions with people, and his grandpas and grandma in particular. They're really quite good, and very funny. Though if you don't enjoy them, I'd just drop this immediately even if you've read only a few chapters. Fortunately these bits pop up frequently. Unfortunately after the first 100 chapters or so (very roughly) it starts moving away from that and the fights get more frequent and longer. Occasionally the author will also just beat a decent joke into the ground.

But if you enjoy the banter, then yeah. It's worth dealing with the rest of the novel in my opinion. But again, if you don't enjoy it (and you should know pretty quickly) just move on and don't waste your time. <<less

this is just fun like an olf fairy tale it has a Narnia feel to it and I like it

First 100 chapters (+ - 10 probably) are simply 10 out of 5.
Humor, characters, suspence, secrets, powers - everything is incredibly interesting and well designed. MC is out of ordinary but he is still overshadowed by elders, monsters and others so he does not shine too brightly.

After that story goes downhill with typical xuanhuan/xianxia or whatever route where side characters exist just to glorify MC with the typical enemy, big brother will defeat him, oh no brother lost, MC takes action and defeats. Or like he is great master on the level of some elder but MC as always can teach them It is really striking especially after stellar 100 chapters.

Usually it is not that noticeable due to mediocricy from the very beginning until the story falls apart completely in 500+ chapters as in almost every chinese novel... But here the beginning was just too geat and it feels very early how worse it becomes.

The begging of novel was interesting, I kind of liked it.

As someone before mentioned it gave me greatest disciple Kenichis Vibe. Where someone ordinary is surrounded by unordinary experts and by being trained by them in time he becomes a "monster" himself.

Village elders all have their own pasts and story's, that make them somewhat interesting.

... more>> MCs past is only thing that reels your interest in, as you are kept mostly in dark.

But on side note... even if novel has interesting aspects it is being held back by battles with 10 word moves one after another that sound weird when translated from Chinese. Buddha, devil, god blah blah blah. And MC becoming OP, kind of omniscient out of blue. Like yea best teachers can impart part of their knowledge, but 12-15 y/o know it all... eh.

p.s. not the worst novel out there, but nothing mind blowing. <<less
