Absolutely great novel ! The story really is good, diverse and adequately paced. Huge world, many events and places, enough characters, and enough exposure to really express the singularity of each. One thing interesting is that the MC actually works for his gains. Real work and strategy to progress towards his dream of riches - a clear goal but not too rigid -, not the usual petty scheming. Later on, the author's work shows clear signs of deterioration and rush (as expected for this genre), but the frame is still... more>> solid.

The real strength I see to this story is the ability to almost perfectly manage proportions. For example, the world stays firm and even if a big fuss is made (breakthrough, unusual talent...). What is depicted is the actual ripples caused (same generation feeling threatened, elders having hope/disappointment...) and not an exaggerated reaction from the whole galaxy like usual novels do (whole sects chasing MC for just that spark of talent, 1000 years old monsters starting eyeing you or the like). You can clearly see that, yes, it is a big event for the MC, it might be rare, but no, it is not that important for the rest of the world. That was sooo refreshing!

And then... it all collapses, characters are ghosted or uselessly dragged along, people start having divination masters that can predict where to accurately get the MC (ew!), almost everything becomes large scale battle oriented, forced events, contradictory actions emphasizing an aspect of MC while opposing another trait of his...

Finally, I got the feeling that the best part (MC life in sect... until forming his first group of brothers) was just a setup for the less good one. You can feel that the author wanted his new era of armies conflict and multiple POV so much it biased the rest of the story. A bit of disappointment for the potential, but the reading was definitely one of the best! You should too. <<less

OMG THIS NOVEL IS WONDERFUL... It has everything you can ask for... most importantly character development.. any story with character development is bound to become a hit. Any kind of novel that got a fan base other than the man character and multiple ones at that is a great novel in my opinion... Because there will be many kind of various power ups, leading to many kinds of great stories to follow. like most novels/mangas that has great character development starts off slow, but its give small appetizers like comedy... more>> and little meets meet ups/advanture that your going to be foreshadow not long in the future. I honestly feel bad for the the ones that droped this novel, but Ii guess they prefer the casual super op destroy everything with much of a personality type of MC or overall novel type.. but if your loooking for something other than that with a cool breeze of comedy, a story with friends building an empire together going through like and death with undying loyalty towards each other, with a side of fun adventures. well look for further. <<less

This book is a masterpiece.

I enjoy every chapter. It makes me want to read so fast cause it's just so good, yet I do not want it to end. It's like good food you know, you have to tell yourself - Stop, savor it...

Zuo changes as the story progresses but he is a unique protagonist, unlike the usual MC's in Chinese novels. There are unforgettable characters. The story starts out with a compelling reason for Zuo to find out more about his past. But while that is the overarching storyline,... more>> I personally enjoyed how each character is given so much attention. His writing style too reflects this.

Just read it. <<less

The good:

  • Like-able MC - smart, hard-working, down to earth & sub-characters.
  • Interesting story line that unfolds at an appropriate rate.
The bad:

  • Some chapters feel like fillers
  • Several Chinese characters that require you to get adapted to (ie: 'Ge', 'Li', 'Jie', etc...) . The translator do have a point in keeping these characters untranslated though.

First 200 chapters or so, when he's still relatively weak, was boring af. I almost dropped it multiple times because I just couldn't get over how much he loved money... But I have to say that I'm glad I kept on reading. IMO, the story and his character development really starts to take shape when he starts to form his own little band of fighters to escape Little Mountain jie, and in the end they end up staying loyal and following him. This sets the tone for the rest of... more>> the chapters, with him gaining strength and him getting more followers. Also, Gongsun Cha is awesome. <<less

This story is very well written, the author hardly included any of the usual tropes. The story has a excellent pace and enough cliffhangers to keep you wanting more.

The bad thing about this? The character is OP.

The good thing about this? The character is OP in the most disjointed way. He doesn't bulldoze his enemies with higher power levels. He beats them with money, and time, and hours of preparation and coincidence.

Unfortunately, as the series goes on, the character becomes more OP in the traditional (but extremely boring) xian xia way of having higher power levels, as the author is running out of ideas of how to get him to win by not using power levels. And they... more>> end up having beam spam fights instead of intricate fights. Well, its much better than Er Gen's fights, in that its not just people fighting by shouting skill names.

On the other hand, it is unique in the sense that the main character isn't a h**ny bastard, isn't a blood lusty bastard, doesn't tread the path of eternally fighting generic cannon fodder, isn't in a solo play scenario (he is eternally in a party), isn't self righteous, doesn't do evil sh*t while trying to justify it with weird chinese web novelist morals, doesn't become a millions worse than the worst person that was with them, no absolute evil people and all that jazz. Its not all sword fights and beam (skill) spamming.

But, it does have a few cliches:
Character is born natural genius. Character has blood line. Character has feet fetish. Character is OP. A world were power levels are important.

Anyways, its unique and good enough to be read. I give it a 5/5 for trying to write a different style of xian xia. <<less

I like this one, but the synopsis is misleading...

It's about multiple parties pushing the MC around to make him cultivate following what they believe in. He does it his way and gets away on top anyway.

Good read, rarely boring. Not much fights for the first 100 chapters, but the story really picks up afterwards.

To those who knows: this is like LMS without the game element. Complete with the greed and awkward situations with girls..

This is the most creative an author has gone to distinguish the MC. Although it includes some of the usual but it is completely unexpected.
Spoiler

The usual xianxia in which the MC finds an ancient cultivation technique that trumps all but here he actually is skilled in formation and body cultivation.


The usual finding some OP almost dead elder that guides him in his cultivation although it is the same it is completely different

1) He actually have 2 of these elders
2) They are supposedly of a race that is in war with humans
3) Instead of the usual guidance and just ignoring these elder type guys backstory, it is shrouded in mystery in this case with a casual snippet every now and then.

The totally unexpected is the existence of generals, usually in a xianxia the general is the most OP and just gives the "CHARGE" or "KILL" but in this case there are actual plans and maneuvering of army to kill higher ranked opponents.
Another unexpected thing is a legit reason for the MC's beating higher ranked opponents. (The answer is formations)

[collapse]
In my opinion this is a must read.

Story about a young farmer who lost his memories and after meeting the equivalent of a demon who wants to give him power the story goes away from the usual path. The story really begins as the demon or "yao" in the story begins to help Zuo Mo in order for him to regain his power as a yao. Warning: has heavy plot armor at times and the MC in the beginning is a coward. Overall a fun story with a money-grubbing and hardworking main character within a diverse universe... more>> of different abilities and well-developed side characters. <<less

Ingenuity, a trait that is not very evident in most characters. The MC in this story fits this description, instead of following a single method of cultivation all along the way in the whole story, he uses a variety of methods to cultivate and achieve his goals. It is a fresher approach rather than the trope of a single ultimate cultivation method or a unique cultivation method. The story itself doesn't have a purpose from the start, but slowly it reveals itself instead of being decided from the start. All... more>> in All, it stands out from other novels in a good way. <<less

I can hardly believe this is free to read. Why you ask, because I would waiting for midnight release of this type novel. It's really surprise that's this Xianxia, for clearly this unheard of treasure for the genre which exemplifies good writing.

At first starts off like production novel, but later we discover that MC is just trying to find his niche in world where everyone, pursing the swords.... as long as they are human. More then story being interesting, it's amazing that most chapters while not always being cliff... more>> they leaves us thirst for more. Worst part of series, that you will have to wait until next day to read more.

So at this current stage, they is no good reason to rate less 5 stars. <<less

Story good and unique, but there is lot of terms and names which is bit confusing. And because some terms are not translated it makes them harder to understand story and remember them.

While it is very slow in the beginning, it gradually builds up the story. Sometimes though, he really disappointing me for a supposedly miserly person. He doesn't bother to keep aware of his surroundings causing him to get taken advantage of quite easily. It frustrated me beyond anything, but I learned to look past it. If you can handle REAL build up and story telling, check it out.

think weed in an xianxia world, and take out the part" I got my were your" attitude, then you get this story, the story are great in building up the main character and the support character while the tension is building toward the upcoming war about to come which the whole dame plot in hinge upon. So far this is one of the hidden gem in this site, cause of it plot and how good the MC is (he know his weakness and he also know he is... more>> not the best, but he dont care he just want to get enough money to feed himself and a bottomless money sucking yao that have been stealing his money, cause the yao use money to heal himself.) <<less
