MC is a pathetic "pacifist". I might even mistook him as those tr*sh wimpy JP novel MCs

Everything I read to this point is just like "waaaaaa I dont wanna fight waaaaaa! It's too barbaric waaaaaaaaa! I just wanna live forever waaaaaa..."

Extra star just for the good comedy at the beginning.

I kept reading in hopes of the main character growing out of his immaturity, cowardice and narrow mindedness yet I don't see that happening so I'm done reading this. I got some good laughs at the beginning yet I quickly got bored of the light hearted theme of the story...

  1. At first, for me, this novel was good, in fact it was extremely good at the start like Er Gen's other novels but like other of Er Gen's novels, it made me more annoyed as time passed. Here, its funny at first because of many strang scenes that happened to MC. But Im already on Chapter 200+ but the MC was still immature to the point that it was not funny anymore. He was still cowardy to the point that he's still cowered even if he was stronger than his opponent. He already knew that the world that he lived in was the rule Survival of the Fittest prevails, but he was still so hesitant to battle. Sigh, I know that you author want to create a Eccentric MC but, come on man, there was a big difference between the words 'Eccentricity' and 'Immaturity'. Yeah he's so immature to the point that it was already annoying. Just read it and you would know. In fact he should become mature when he experienced life and death situation like the Luo Chen chase and his experience in Fallen Sword Abyss but, no, he was still immature and he was still always hesitant to fight. And it annoyed me a lot in Fallen Sword Abyss because, when he was experiencing his ninth tideflow, his fellow sect members defended him and some of it even died, but what did he do, he only killed a few enemies, yeah lets say that he killed the most powerful ones, but come on man, we should know that the ones that killed those fellow sect members are the ones in Qi Refinement Stage because its their opponent and his other Foundation Establishment members holding the powerful enemies. But what did he do, he only watched large amount of enemies that tried to kill him to flee. He did not even try to kill them to avenge his fellow sect members that died defending him. In fact he easily killed many Foundation Stage enemies, so he could kill those fleeing in short amount of time while protecting his sect members. But he did not, he just watch those who severely injured and killed his defenders flee. Sigh! And in fact, it even backfired to him because when he was obtaining the Heaven Energy, those that he watched to flee injured him by showering him with attacks. Ha! And there were also some things that the MC created which was so OP like his battle beast or the green corpse, but what happened? The other one was spoiled in the other sect while the other was taken easily. The heck man!! Why create an OP things if it was even useless and not beneficial to MC!! In fact you should just let him use them because of his cowardy that he did not even want to fight, just let them fight his enemies, atleast there were some action sceness not like the MC who hesitated first because of his cowardice but finish in one move. Sigh!! And dont believe the Money Grubber tag because its not true, in fact the MC was too fvcking pushover to the point that he's in disadvantage in many of his dealings. And there were some thqt if a powerful person request something from him, even if its a valuable formula that he came up with, he would give it without hesitation. How gay!! Did not even have a backbone sigh!! I dont know why many like the novel of this fvxking authkr. And I think this fvcking author really like repeating many scenes. Like in his RI, there were many continuous coincidences there that it was already contrary to the theme "defying heaven and fate". Here in this novel, continuous strang happening and cowardice that you would be sick of it. Sigh In fact you could see that this author was hypocrite based on his novels. If you read his novels carefully. In RI, the story was so contrary to the main idea. Defying Heavens and Fate but the way he created the story was like according to Fate because of series of coincidences. And in this novel Will Eternal, the MC was so fvcking hypocrite, he believes that he was a upright person, but the way he acts was so fvcking vile. He always felt wronged that others blame him in many accidents but he did not even think that he was disturbing many people in his experiment to the point that some even gets injured. He was so full of himself but cowardy inwardly. He wants everything to become his, like in Blood Stream Sect, he already proclaimed it his. To the point that he wants every blood qi in there to become his that he disturbed many people cultivating. Tell me? Is that an upright to you? No he's hypocrite like the author. Sigh..

    In Blood Stream Sect, he became enraged because he was being chased by others and said that they were unreasonable but fvck, he did not even saw his own mistake that he was the one who was unreasonable that he wants to fish all the blood qi by himself. To the point that others were injured because of him, and he said that they were the ones who was unreasonable. Sigh!! He was tired being wronged but he did not see that he was really wrong. It really annoys me alot. In fact, its good if the MC knew he was wrong but he was not. He felt like he was always the victim. Its always like that even in Spirit Stream Sect or Blood Stream Sect. Hypocrisy to its highest level.

    I think the author was also like this, because he was the one who made the scene. He's not only hypocrite but also unreasonable. Of course the author would say that "Its a comedy scene and a joke time", lol, a comedy scene would not really explained meticulously every minor details. But here, one could see that the author thinks that was really unreasonable was the others to the point that he would justify really hard why the MC felt wronged. Ha! If your my neighbor and your like the MC you fvcking s*upid author, that like to create trouble to the point that it already harms others, I will really kill you. In fact, right now I really want to slap you many times.

    Thats all for now because Im still reading this haha.

I hate myself for not reading the reviews and because it was by Er Gen, I thought how bad could it be. Well it was bad, the overused jokes and repetitive and plot, and a character with an annoying personality. Many of other reviews explain the reason why and it's a pain to regurgitate it back.

An advise for any new reader who wants to get into this, just know that the main character will have annoying characteristics that he won't grow out of.

I thought it'd be a fun read but ultimately it's just a tweaked version of ISSTH where drugs and old men everywhere.

The world is very peaceful and only becomes chaotic when MC joins in. Everything is very monotonous, simply repeating the same things over and over again.

The comedy is funny at first, but immediately becomes repetitive.

... more>> the author tries to put Comedy and romance while putting the 'amazing' image of the MC, but still ultimately disappointing.

There's some parts that are funny, as well as some scenes that are quite good, that's enough that give this story two stars. <<less

TBH this is the best xianxia I've ever read!!!

Probably most people lost interest around ch 600 (I can clearly understand why), but I recommend sticking to it.

The MC is the funniest character you'll ever find in xianxia, who dreams to live forever.

He's a big coward but treasures his friends. Is unexpectedly lucky with girls, a genius (hope so) atleast in making pills, and has (laughable) luck.

Seriously if this novel is bad then none is good enough!!!

Mini review,

Originally a found the whole concept behind the main char questionable. But in the end it was ok. Actually it doesn't even matter. Cause this novel is pure gold; word by word. I've nothing else to say.

It is still relatively early, but it will probably keep being as good, cause it's best part is from the way it is written and not just from any temporary thing. Also the personality of the MC that almost turns is to parody, has some development over time, without changing it's essence,... more>> at least not yet.

Random thought that I haven't seen anyone else having

Spoiler

MC is actually kind of autistic, but after getting used to it, it is amazing. The way he function hardly makes any sense with normal standards (either real life or wuxia novels), but if you see it under that concept it fits perfectly

From the creator of ISSTH, I present ya.. Bai Xiaochun.

If Meng Hao is the epitome of perfectionist, BXC is the epitome of shameless...

He fear death, loves to showoff and the spotlights, pretty much like a little kid...

... more>> lots of funny plot, kinda repetitive act (the same troublemaker mad scientist act over n over), and sometimes annoyed by bxc personality... after tens, hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years, bxc personality never change... from funny... to boring...

He probably died hundred times already if theres noone who back him up everywhere secretly (DuLingfei, The gravekeeper, Bai Hao, etc2)

but overall a good novel to read.

Enjoy. and be shameless! <<less

This is one of my favourite stories.

The main character is hilarious at times. He also has very good character. He maintains friendships, protects others around him even when he feels afraid, and he works towards improving himself.
Spoiler

It's mostly a cultivation story but there are certain sections of the main character learning about herbs and alchemy as well.

[collapse]

I love most of the author's works. Another story by the same author I really enjoy is I Shall Seal The Heavens. It's a beautiful and very long story in which the main character grows and changes a lot.

Amazing! The MC is similar to Meng Hao. Meng Hao loves money while Bai Xiaochun (mc) loves his life. That is the only difference between the two. If you like ISSTH then you are going to like this even more.

Great writing, lots of comedy intertwined with a cast of interesting characters. Author does great job of slowly revealing side cast characters and their status.

The pace is great as well. Usually, I don't like MC's who are cowardly, but this MC is not actually truly cowardly, he MANS THE F**K UP... sometimes. Most of the time he's just trying to figure out how to live a long time and fly.

Translators are doing a great job as well with in relation to Raws --> English is quite solid.

The comedy tag of this novel should be in all caps. Read it with caution and don't eat and drink while you're reading it. There is action, but the comedy parts of it shine much better than the rest of the portions. And you want nothing more than to read the next chapter, even late releases can't take away the fun of scenarios. Add this in your reading list, no need to think about it just add it.

This novel is awesome. It is hilarious and some of its aspects (like the Burning Stoves Kitchen) are borderline genius. The sect the MC belongs to is absolutely the best sect in any xianxia work i've read: they shenanigans the disciples and even the sect elders can get up to are ridiculous and at the same time amazing. Definitely my favorite Er Gen work so far.

Highly Recommended if you are looking comedy and action with OPness in a creative sense (OPness of the MC gives you time a laugh most of the). The translation is easy to read and just long enough to leave you satisfied with each chapter and it is frequently updated so it's easy to follow. This novel is one of my favorite novels with a male protagonist. Recommended to females readers as
-this doesn't have a chauvinist mc
-less gore
-the MC doesn't mindlessly kill people who offend him
-side characters... more>> are interesting too though the story mainly is focused on the MC refining and cultivation. <<less

I'm liking these MC personality. Although he has OP item at the the start, It doesn't have much use since he lack resource. -He behave like what a cultivator should do that is reaching Immortality.
-He doesn't attract trouble publicly as he treasure his life.

Basically, if this novel stay good or getting improved every chapter, it will be the best among issth and xian ni. I only hope His personality develop nicely.

The rich worldbuilding and deep cultivation storytelling you would expect from Er Gen as the backdrop for a one-man absurdb comedy show. Either you love or you hate it.

I have just reviewed HN1F and this felt like its polar opposite. That one was built as a parody and ended up as a comedic cultivation novel, this one was supposed to be just that and ended up as a parody of itself. While that one failed at going far enough at either comedy or cultivation, AWE probably fails for going too... more>> far with both.

The worldbuilding, atmosphere, and overall story are good as you would expect, but when everything else is a joke, it paints an odd picture, sort of like having your professor teach class dressed up like a potato while making funny voices and constantly interrupting it to make fart noises. The first time might be funny but at some point, you might start to wonder why are you even bothering to attend if you are clearly not gonna learn anything.

The main character seems to have an aura of absurdity surrounding him and every character that touches it becomes a puppet with a generic parodical personality independent of the way they would be or act the moment they leave this aura. The world seems to work in a certain, realistic way, just to distort in a surreal one as it comes into contact with the main character, creating a very weird contrast, which is somewhat reinforced at the end of the novel when the comedy starts to disappear as the author integrates the plot of this novel with the overall of Er Gen's literary universe.

This novel has a very characteristic comedy tone that might appeal to some people. It wasn't the case for me, thus the current rating. Give it a try if you feel like it might be of your taste. <<less

Bai Xiaochun is nothing like the stereotypical genius main characters in other books. He is an incredibly FLAWED person, lecherous, greedy, scared of death, coward, shameless...

However, he does show character growth; his desire to selfishly live forever evolves to wanting to live forever with his family and friends. Despite what other people say he does mature as a person. However, his personality remains the same.

One thing that makes this novel stand out from all the wuxia/xianxia I've read is that the main character doesn't kill every person that stands in... more>> his way. His enemies eventually become his friends. <<less

This Novel is absoultely amazing... Its is very funny... There are almost no bad storylines... sometimes a similar comedy elements are used on multiple occasions but they are so good that I love it every single time...I almost like everything about this novel.. so there nothing in particular I could praise coz everything was fun... if I have to say what I did'nt like then I would say its the Ending chapters... last 100 chapters... they were a bit rushed... also Author ErGen left a bit vague end... We got... more>> a satisfactory ending but it was not explained how we got there... still it was better ending than ISSTH.. Also one of the female leads Du Lingfei should've been given more time and story... Also, I don't like the fact that some love interests got casually tossed off... Comedy Novel does not need that stuff... Personally I think Author ErGen is demented, twisted and psychotic... he never lets readers get fully satisfied at the end.. he makes it leave it to the imagination.. but still an amazing novel... much better than ISSTH <<less
