ATG was initially an intriguing read but now it's just plot armor central with a dash of r8pe fest on the site. IMHO, if you're going to write a harem, spend some time developing the members of the harem or everything come crashing down. That's exactly what happened here. Sigh...

A story of revenge, overcoming many challenges, defeating the strong as the weak, with some romance. Love it.

Edit: dropped it at one point cos it MC did really s*upid things which also broke the character

While I won't praise this novel to high water. I will say it is well written and while it does leave a ton to be desired it does have redeeming features.

The main character will not allow someone to..
Shame him
Take his women
Insult his Family or Friends

While these are great things to have in a main character sometimes you can't help but wonder how does this guy have such good luck during the novel. While technically you are reading for a over powered main character, you can't help but... more>> wonder why this guy has such good luck.

I do recommend this novel if you are looking for a quasi harem and a over powered main character who's pretty ruthless. <<less

The novel itself is not bad. My rating is basically to dissuade anyone from getting into it for now unless you see that the translation is complete. Firstly, due to the rules of the translation website, the chapters will not be updated here. Secondly, the author is completely random at updates, we have gotten less than 20 chapters in a couple of years at this point if I am not mistaken.

Now coming to the story, it is like your typical cultivation novel: MC is the underdog-> MC gets cheat ->... more>> MC face slaps people -> MC moves to a new map and repeats the process. All this while picking up new women at the rate of 1 or 2 per map. So nothing noteworthy.

Character-wise the MC is pretty typical CN MC where he is always right and others are wrong. Not a complaint just nothing special here.

The harem is very big with the speed of new women increasing significantly in the recent arc. The girls do have their moments but a lot of the time the author will send them off-screen for hundreds of chapters before something happens and the MC has to rush to save his damsel in distress. Also, his relationship with the FMC is pretty rocky and it takes him a while to get over her so if you don't like something like that then better walk off now since this is the cause of a lot of chaos he causes.

The world-building is mostly on a need basis where most stuff has 0 background and just comes up for one arc and then is forgotten about/ not important for others.

So if you want to read some generic CN cultivation novel then this is pretty much right in the middle. Just make sure that the book is complete if you don't want to be left hanging in the middle of the draggy bits like the latest chapter at the time of this review's writing. <<less

Most review are in the below 1000 chapters. I must say that some complaints are true, but that is for any cultivation, xuan huan, harem novel. Also because it is ensue web novel, based on islands of chapters, some fillers are unavoidable. Also due to the cultivation theme, it’s unavoidable that the protagonist is weak en continuesly get stronger, than fall from grace / dies and repeat. Each arc.

What I can add to the other reviews, is that the support characters, especially his powerful women, continue to play a role... more>> until the later chapters. His first wife in the first chapters, still play a major role well into 1900 ch. Most similar novels I read, often the characters from one world wouldn’t play a role in the next or vice versa. So the character development is long mysterious. What your previously believed was the plain truth, get twisted later on. It’s quite marvellous and a page turner.

Much can be said about the world other specific details, but I found the best part that each world he ends up, are connected, so also not forgotten. It does feel like a coherent world.

I recommend one to read this if they like this genre. Therefore some repetition of the type of plot is inevitable, but that’s typical for almost two thousand chapters. <<less

An amazing book, would have been even better if the writer didn't drag it on for too long. Should have ended after Yun Che dealt with Long Bai. The harem was one of the best things about this novel, amazing really.

i dont care what others think. as someone who reads raw instead of translated versions, this story was, is and will always be great. yes it has flaws, there is implication of r*pe, s*avery but without it Yun Che's character cannot be justified later on. the worldbuilding is ok... no its good or even great.

many say the first few chapters were good then it went downhill. well thats because in the official translation, it has not reached the amazin part yet.

an advice for readers will be to remember important details... more>> and characters and their behaviors, actions and info they share early on. coz after 1800+ chapters you are in for a major twist, a truth, and a magnificient story and plot build that took 8 freaking years.

definitely a 5 star for me. the harem is justified and useful, not those types of vase. especially some members. each major arc has its own importance even for the later chapters. not the most amazin and the greatest CN novel but in my list of fav, it definitely ranks higher than reverend insanity, which I myself am surprised at... <<less

A generic chinese webnovel. Someone is chased by peerless masters and is forced to their death, and reincarnates in a tr*sh body but trains to become op with a super cheat. I would probably rate this novel as a 4 star if it were like any generic webnovel because even if it is generic, it would still be fun and easy to read. But in this novel, the author seems to try and make this story way too deep and overcomplicates the plot by adding in unnecessary details and useless... more>> plot points that could be resolved in a single sentence but he chooses to do it using a whole chapter. The word padding in this novel is unbelievable with the amount of weird descriptions of how majestic a building is, how mu*derous a killing intent is or how s*upid a character is.

A large majority of chinese webnovels are repetitive but this one takes it to a whole new level. I can easily repeat every single arc of the story in a few sentences: Main character is underestimated due to his weak background, he chases after a jade beauty that he is “undeserving” of and everyone ridicules him. He gains huge powerup and everyone’s jaws drop but provokes an arrogant young master. Arrogant young master goes after his women and is then tr*shed by him or at least main character goes to save his women at the cost of his life but saves himself using bullsh*t plot armour then inadvertently gets a powerup after going through this huge trial, goes back to destory the arrogant young master. Rinse and repeat.

Half the novel is in scrambles as the author just writes whatever the f*ck he wants without really planning it out. If he wants something to happen, he’ll simply conjure up some random plot detail that was never mentioned in the past so that he can write another plot detail that would seem even more sudden without the previous plot detail to support it. The world building feels like the author’s is trying his best to make it feel complex and deep but it’s honestly just a salad of nonsense that he pulls out of his ass. The plot twists make zero sense and are often predictable after a while.

Another thing is the f*cking harem in this novel. I’ve read my fair share of harem novels and have even enjoyed many of them but this one takes it to a whole new level. Every single young-looking untained woman or girl is immediately part of his harem once they are introduced.

Overall, I would reccomend this to people who are complete beginners to chinese webnovels but would recommend those who have read about 20 or above webnovels to stay away.

This is my first review, just like this is one of my first novels which drew me into the world of wuxia/xianxia/xuanhuan and made me love it. This is without a doubt one of my favorite novels, the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because the author took too long to give his work its own essence.

FIRST POINT: DEVELOPMENT OF THE STORY

The plot of the novel starts (unfortunately) in a very cliche way, the MC is the typical protagonist with no talent and a low culture. The... more>> beginning of the novel can really throw you off if you are tired of the same repetitive plot, although in its defense I will say that this novel is from those years ago where practically all the authors used the same initial plot for all their works (weak protagonist and garbage that progresses to being strong) but the point of this novel is not its beginning, if we had to rate this novel based on its plot only by its beginning I would give it a score of 2.5 at most... BUT, what this novel has novel is the continuous improvement that it has as the chapters pass. The plot of the novel goes from being generic and cliché to being really interesting, every aspect in the life of the protagonist and the plot that surrounds him is explained in detail later in the story, that's when you say: '''Oh my god, Now I understand it all!''. It's really interesting, the construction of the world in its first chapters I don't remember very well so I won't talk about it, but after the 1000 chapters and when it
Spoiler

ascends to the world of the gods

[collapse]
(which is when you start to love this novel more) the world becomes something wonderful full of all kinds of stories that you don't understand and want to understand, the story also has unexpected plot twists, it doesn't become a repetitive plot or anything like that. For this reason, I consider that the plot is constantly on the rise, if you can bear the beginning, you will surely like it the more you get drunk on the story.

SECOND POINT: THE MC

You must be clear that the MC of this novel is a character that has development, at the point where I am currently, it cannot be compared in any way with the MC of the first chapters, so you can be sure that the MC will have a growth constant. He will not be a flat character who learns little or nothing along the way. Love, hate, bitterness, and even regret (many other emotions as well) are the cause of the MC's constant change.

THIRD POINT: HAREN (OR HAREM), ROMANCE AND CHARACTERS IN GENERAL

The harem of this novel is wonderful, as the chapters pass the characters of the harem become more and more relevant and I like that a lot. I have read quite a few novels but I am serious when I tell you that many female characters in this novel will make you sigh with mixed feelings, unfortunately there are also many to whom the author did not give them enough importance or development, but in the absence of these there are also many others that you are naturally attracted to because of their personalities and how well they are integrated into the plot. Unfortunately at the beginning of the novel one of the MC's girls is the typical arrogant talent who is forced to marry the MC (yes, the same bubblegum tr*sh) but as I said, the beginning depends on you being able to take it. As the chapters go by, you understand more and more why some girls act in one way or another (I'm talking about absolutely all the girls in the harem, not just the ones at the beginning) and you will definitely understand why I consider this to be one of the best romances/harem of cultivation novels. The romance itself is a key plot point, and the romance is also edgy but not the kind that becomes annoying like a cheap tween romance. On the other hand, regarding the characters in this novel in general, I am quite satisfied. The male characters are not always what you expect, but there are a few that are interesting and others that can become iconic.

Now I want to move on to what I consider the worst of this novel.

FIRST POINT: RELATED TO THE MC

Spoiler

There is a point in the novel where the MC can become a bit of an idiot because he doesn't really understand where he stands, he becomes complacent and forgets that hard work is the most important, of course the plot itself opens his eyes and these flaws in his personality improve. Until today in chapter 1934 I am quite happy with the development of the MC and the personality that he has, it is amazing to walk next to the MC and notice every little detail in the development of his personality based on all the experiences he has had.

[collapse]

SECOND POINT: RELATED TO THE AUTHOR

The author of this novel has been writing this for so many years because I lost count of the pauses he has taken to write this, although I really can't blame him, I'd rather he take a thousand breaks before he rushes through the story and rips it to shreds. What's more, right now as of 01/15/2022 the author has taken another break and will probably upload 1 chapter every 9 or 10 days (this is an encouraging prospect). As I said, I can't blame him either, but there have already been too many pauses that he has made to this novel causing you to lose a little of that expectation, if it weren't for so many pauses, I would have surely finished this novel a long time ago. If you are lucky enough to start reading this when the novel is already finished or about to end, you have no idea how envious I am of you...

Now, to finish I want to be reiterative in this: DO NOT VALUE THIS NOVEL FOR ITS FIRST CHAPTERS. The author was wrong in several repetitive aspects of the plot, but if you are patient enough to get to where I am today I am 90% sure that you will not regret it. <<less

This is definitely one of my all time favorite novel. I accept the fact from many comments that said this novel is repetitive, s*upid, too OP etc. So I will say that this novel isn't for everyone taste. For me the strong point of this novel is the harem/romantic plots. Firstly, all the famales (MC women) has a great story and personality (well except some though) and if you are a fan of these genre this novel will surely live up to your expectation. Secondly, the overall... more>> plot isn't perfect but isn't bad at all. It constantly delivers the excitement and enjoyment as the story progresses (some arcs are boring cuz of its repetitive but not too bad so you can just scroll through it) plus the world building is great.

Overall, if you are in search of novel with great plot with little to no loophole whatsoever/ no harem / good guy MC / not typical cultivating, maybe this novel isn't for you. But if you are like me who prioritize in romance/ female characters (I don't really care about harem. I need best girl) then I HIGHLY recommend this one. <<less

Many things about this story are great, certainly: acceptable plot, smart and adequate ruthlessness and gore, nice harem members (most), quick strength gain. However, some stains on the novel as a whole are absolutely unacceptable to me. Firstly, several harem members are added simply out of nowhere, like simply why does the protagonist risk his life for them, when there are so many other people relying on him, for SIMPLY NO F***ING reasons, for a bit*h appearing out of nowhere. Moreover, there are even times when he would forgive the... more>> enemies, even when they are still a potential threat, as if he had grown too full of himself, thus dropping his vigilance and cautiousness entirely, which is the exact same reason why he die so miserably in his first life, then a repetition of the history is not really unexpected. <<less

To put it simply, this is the most wish fulfilment kind of series for me. Yun Che does some questionable things at times and he can be quite dumb when it really matters. This is the only dislike I have for it considering its needed to move the plot.

Whether it be the faceslapping or him going on killing spree we get to see all kinds of phases for Yun Che. I have been with this series a long while and it never disappointed me. Sure there were boring moments and... more>> things got dragged, but it delivered even better conclusion during those times. <<less

There are many who dislike this for various reasons. I for one am annoyed by the MC. The novel is harem oriented. The MC is rtarded, in simple words. MC can be considered a side character most of the time, the lead in this novel is the female characters. They are the ones that guide every darn thing from chapter 1 to now. Sure occasionally the MC is the solo lead, but almost all the time the female characters are the ones that guide the MC.

The MC is treated like... more>> a child in every situation. He behave similarly to one too, except the excessive violence and slaughter parts. People around him always hesitate to tell him the truth, or parts of the truth, until things blew up and sh*t hits the fan. Then he eventually found out the truth himself. He is also a frequent denier. When he thinks something might be possible, he denied it claiming that it is impossible. He never consider anything to be possible other than things that he know for certain is. Maybe this door is push to open, the sign says so, but could be a pull door too, hmm, then someone comes over and pushes the door open, oh I was not expecting that. If he had a premonition or weird guess, he would just brush it off as impossible, and then get shocked when things happen as expected. Plus way too many hints that I as a reader could guess from all the things the MC went thru, but author just decides that MC forgets everything until someone tells him. For example he heard a rumor about an OP sword in the mountains, he went trekking in the mountain and found a weird sword, wow this sword is cool, then someone told him he found the OP sword, oh what so that explains why the sword is so OP. <<less

I guess it might be, because I like to read slice of life stuff a lot, but this novel really is way to anxious to keep throwing one threat after another at it's protagonist and throw even more at him, when he hasn't even resolved the others in a satisfying fashion.
It's like the novel keeps the reader "hostage", because it makes one anxious to keep reading, because there's never a moment where you can really stop reading, while also being satisfied with the current situation, because there's always danger,... more>> there's always someone or several loved ones either missing or in acute danger and there's always some scheme going on.
As much as I like this novel, it's also very exhausting to read sometimes, because it never really gives the reader a peace of mind. <<less

The starting is bad. From chapter 100, it will get better and better. Around chapter 1500, it will get bad again because the MC becomes a one punch man (or rather the author becomes lazy).

The start is actually bad because the MC seems to have made a bad writing mistake on the back to future theme. So he writes another story that he is the reincarnate of a medicinal saint to make it flow. The anime did it better by having his first life first, show him dying and then... more>> reincarnating. It is like duoluo dalu.

The MC swear to take revenge on his enemies for killing his medical saint teacher but after he got reincarnated, he never did.

Quite entertaining. Chapter 400 to 800 is the boring part. If you can endure past this, this story is ok. <<less

Honestly I liked the first 500 or so chapters and I was planning on continuing to read but curiosity got the best of me and I read a spoiler page of one of the female leads that disappears in the novel and as I read the spoiler I was immediately disappointed. I won't say much but in the later chapters the world building and the relationship building of the first 600 or so chapters basically gets put in the mud just so the relationship with the female lead and the... more>> male lead continues. And although I haven't read the later chapters I thoroughly read the spoilers and some chapters in between but as the MC gets higher in cultivation the world building digress fast and instead of being meticulous of the entire world it becomes centered on a few key countries of different worlds. And even in the end the entire relationship the MC made with everyone basically burns in flames because the MC basically becomes cold-hearted completely after everyone dies. It's really a shame the first 400 chapters were really promising too. <<less

Tbh Imo OK- should be 2 stars and ATG 3 stars at most but since OK means 3 stars, I gave it 4.

I have to say at the beginning, can't remember now exactly to what chapter, I think first 400 or about, It was very good. It had very hyped and depicted fights, good and not to fast romance (also not too big harem yet, 3), some humor (not too funny but passable), it had emotional sequences and yun che wasn't typical hero, having done some nasty stuff in... more>> previous life (poisoned a city and killed millions just to get revenge on few sects) which brought a refreshing view of morality no matter how deranged !remember Burning Heaven Clan (sadly author decided to through out the novel taking his side and depicting him as righteous until very later on)

Not to worry it doesn't shy from most pitfalls cultivation novels bring, as it has mostly same descriptions of beautiful white maidens, some plot armor, and extraordinary circumstances and luck, 2-dimensional antagonists... However, they weren't obstructing me to enjoy the novel at least at the beginning.

Middle parts of atg truly feel giddy and rotten as it's slowly extinguishing every good thing and by chapter 1000 you really start to notice it (repetition, too big harem, too fast pacing, still boring antagonists, s*upid yun che). Personally I still liked it enough to keep reading because I felt it had something to offer.

Now, last few hundred chapters a lot happened (really deep stuff) and yun che finally changed bringing new life to novel. However, I cannot but notice author's hints as he wants to undo everything bad like in every other CN and have fairy-tale ending. Hopefully, he won't if he does it will lose so much weight behind MC actions and we won't feel pressure or emotional connection. If that happens this novel is max 3 stars. <<less

Characters:

When it comes to his harem it is actually a pretty different from most harem novels I read, normally the girls fall for the MC for no reason, but in this case he actually puts in the bare minimum effort to seduce them which is refreshing. Normally these MCs give out a 'you have no choice but to screw me if I want you' pheromone, but he gives off the 'It is highly unlikely you will reject me' pheromone. Nuanced sure, but "It is the difference between Heaven and Earth".... more>> All jokes aside it is pretty nice.

Plot: If you've read one cultivation Novel there is a 99.99% chance of it being almost no different from this one or any other cultivation novel. The general formula is, MC and Young Master have issues, Young Master goes on the attack, everyone laughs at MC, MC produces one of two results, kicks Young Master's bu*t and young master goes crying to elder brother/daddy/uncle (possibly uncle-daddy) etc... or MC kills Young Master, [Insert Clan] and MC can not coexist under the same sky, [Insert Clan] sends out assassins and ends up offending MC, MC destroys [Insert Clan], MC has now offended bigger [Insert Clan], rinse and repeat as necessary. Don't get me wrong, while it is annoying I don't mind as they are smaller events in the bigger picture.

Theme: Basically a power trip where you shouldn't offend the MC.

Setting: It is Xuanhuan, take a guess of the setting, if you've read another Xuanhuan you should know that the only real difference are the names and terms.

Style: Recycled <<less
