There is no middle ground in this one. You either love it or hate it!! This MC is millions of years old and acts like it. He has his way of doing things and he will not compromise for anyone. He is not swayed by beauties and become s*upid as hell because some jade-like beauty appears (as in any other novel) He sees only potential cultivation. 10/10 for me!

Emperor's Domination is a very interesting novel. Instead of seeing an MC being taught by an immortal teacher that stuck in stuffs or animals, we get to see the immortal teacher himself regained his life back. However, as of c100, the reason why he was trapped in a Crow body eons ago, as well as how he could revive as a boy in the current era was not yet fully explained. The novel now tells his efforts to gain strength and bring the sect that he previously co-founded back to... more>> the glory. There are plenty other novels that tells about the second life of a mighty person, but I feel Emperor's Domination's MC personality is more cool than the average Xuanhuan/Xianxia/Wuxia MC. From the beginning till now, there's just one instance where he got really mad, but even then, the decision he made was strategically advantageous. I'm liking this so far, and expecting more good twists in upcoming chapters. <<less

Cool novel to say the least, although the MC is a basically omniscient and all-powerful being he still has weaknesses as he has to begin his cultivation all over again. However because he is omniscient he has an inherent amount of dense plot armor. Overall an interesting read with well-developed characters (although only for their arc) and creative universe with unique cultivation.

Awful and boring as hell! I was tricked by commenters. 1/5 is even so much for it.

abstract and confusing + fast-paced and half-baked + slow progression + tons of babble + superficial (without important inner thoughts) = 1/5 story. Annoyment level max.

1- the first background story very fast-paced, half-baked and confusing.
you can think it may be like that, but the novel will be good in next chapters cause it has high a rating. But it's not.
2-slow progression of the story and no inner thoughts about MC from where... more>> his confidence comes from. He should has inner though for a story and as a human being, even as a being.
the progression of the story is very very slow. First 9 chapter all about people call MC tr*sh and MC gets displeased in some way (and there are tons of babble), only at ch10 MC fights. So it's slow as turtle, slow as hell. <<less

The overall story cannot be understood within a simple 300 chapters like some, *cough cough self confident reviewers, who assume themselves to have. The thing is that if only individual chapters are talked about, yes, it is about a self confident arrogant MC who loves to face slap people, but as you read on you will notice certain details that pop up over time about Li Qiye's true identity.

The overall story is not to be understood by nitpicking the individual chapters, but to put together the hundreds and thousands of... more>> chapters to put together the true story of Li Qiye, and his road to find his life's answer.

Honestly speaking, the first few hundred chapter is where I believe the author was slightly not sure of what kind of character he wanted Li Qiye to be and his history, so it might seem inconsistent. However, he later fixed it and made the novel shining gold.

Please read more than just a 300 chapters before writing reviews that mislead other readers <<less

Start with a note: If you don't have patience don't try this. The novel is somewhat of a mystery novel. And it takes a long time to get the main plot going. But if you are patient you get treated to one of the Best novels I have ever read. Charismatic protagonist, Awesome Mystery that keeps you hooked, Interesting plot, power levels etc. It just captures your attention and doesn't let go. If you are a reader who prefers an MC who's companions survive to the end and the story... more>> is strait forward you'll find this one a bit difficult. Especially in later parts of the novel.

People saying it has a lot of fillers are correct but that is watered down by the mysteries involved and the story telling. You feel the pain of a man who has lived for millions of years, buried numerous lovers and friends. All this time scheming for an answer at the end battle.

Spoiler

The story starts with him getting he's body back after his soul being trapped in a crow for millions of years. When his cultivation starts you realize just how much thought he put into it. As he grows he meets interesting characters he chooses those with potential and Dao Heart (A major focus in the story) to be his companions in the long climb to the peak.

There are a lot of fillers in the story and yes young masters too, but their purpose is to let the MC remain grounded as a human. It prevents him from forgetting his initial goal and becoming an existence like the Dark Overlords, who forsake everything and consume all living beings for the sake of living longer. The MC just wants to fight to the end and receive his answer. It's an important part since the novel takes place over millions of years.

At the end of arcs like 3 Immortals arc you finally see some of the fruits of his planning. His first plan is to start his own Epoch so as to gain the required power for the final battle. You'll need patience to uncover the schemes and mysteries because it takes a long time. In almost every arc you get to see the ancient supreme beings and learn of his struggle through the years. How he was tortured for thousands of years thus building his immovable Dao heart, and so on.

[collapse]

This is the story of a sheep herder who doesn't want to be a common Ant under the Heavens but wants to grow into a peerless Heavenly Ant. One that yields to nothing and stops for no-one and bares it fangs at the heavens to someday reach the peak of the Grand Dao (If there is a peak that is). <<less

The cultivation system is too complicated and I have seen that even most of the avid readers of this novel do not even completely understand the cultivation system in this novel.

Because the cultivation system is complicated I dropped it, also the MC is way too arrogant he goes around provoking everyone without explaining anything and in the end resolves everything with a face slapping, etc.

You probably read the other reviews so you know how tr*sh the novel is already. The MC is arrogant like the reviews say and its the main reason why anything of note even happens but even you can barely endure it if its just that, BUUUTTTT!!

The story never progresses, like at all.

Some guy lost his body and became an immortal bird to some real big boi. Then he gets his body back and starts to cultivate with everything all planned out to his eventual fight with the last boss. Now... more>> from chapter 1 till god knows how long its just info dump. I can probably describe over 3000 chapters in like 1 paragraph if I tried. This is a CN novel so you can expect all the basic Chinese stereotypes that comes with it but even ignoring the repetitive phrases and the obvious bad things the other reviews already said, AGAIN nothing happens in this story at all.

All you get from this story is an info dump on cultivation levels and how he wants to fight the last boss then its a repeat of him saying it over and over with nothing happening.

God this novel is just like all the other CN Cultivation novels and has nothing interesting about it.

For those who are looking to read this just go find any other cultivation novel on this site and its probably the same story as this. <<less

I gave up after c3000.

After binge reading and giving the novel a try, Im regretful to say that this novel is a bag of chips.

"All the fun looking package -- with a lot of description in front & back, filled with burnt potato quality chips with lotsa air"

... more>> The novel is one of the longest running around in the business, its hard to put on content for something that has gone for too long, and yes thats the problem...

It became a word count after word count after word count of text that doesnt explain the need of putting what the hell is happening in the story, or the unnecessary information of a 1dimensional antagonist that will be beaten later, or even the "sideline audience's" exposition that may even eat a whole chapter just for the sake of word count.

This kind of writing and unnecessary things added in the novel kills the experience for me.

Now lets talk about the gears of the novel... Plot, world building, characters.

*Its important to know that we should address the review on how the novel tells itself through the story. Comparing it to another or a readers a pure bull so well draw a line only for wha the novel offers.*

Plotwise? The novel is about the struggle of an immortal who shed his immortality to fight against the being (who suppress / controls everyone) that stays or poses as the "heavens".

After thousands of chapters, the taste and relevance of the main plot doesnt stick with the random and repetitive jump from one world to another just to "fight" cultivators.

Though the intent of jumping from one world to another gives the MC a way to get in touch of his colleagues and know whats happening on his "current era" the mumbo jumbo conflict 1 dimentional anatagonist brings isnt really challenging to the MC.

There are cases where the MC needs to be serious but it isnt enough to justify the need of a cycle of over used antagonists that can be considered babies vs the MC who lived forever.

Characters? 2/5

Just like a mentally disabled child who likes to shout around when being overshadowed by someone who doesnt know what theyre doing, the MC cant help to go busy body on one arch to another just to repeat the same thing he has done on the previous arch.

As a previous immortal, and a being that cant be measured via cultivation level, MCs action of being a arrogant prince of know it all cant be all there all to describe his personality right? But no, thats all there is to it. He can be sentimental, but his decision making / actions are only viable because of a hard push of the author to say "this happened so just y know? Accept it, dont think about it, it just works".

The blend that made the MC the MC for a taste is so stale some chef in a TV show is yelling in the background shouting "You're all f*cking donkey". This gives off a bad taste for me as character development for the novel is literally zero.

Side characters are expandable. This doesnt really give off any friction on the review as the need of them getting sidelined because of MC's world hopping is pretty much understandable.

World building? 3.5 / 5

Its a typical Chinese novel. World is spread out. Cultivators everywhere, on restricted areas there are restricted powerful beings. Nothing special really.

(I mean if the author has gone serious on describing the world (s) instead of the exposition side characters usually give, ED would have a sh*t ton of color of life)

Sooooooo..... Should you give it a go for a read?

x Yes if youre bored.

x No if you want quality novel

As of now, utterly boring.

Not one interesting thing has happened, and there has been no captivating characters,

A genius that has 1 million years of knowledge that still acts like a little brat.

Would recommend reading 5-20 chapters and see if you like the style and the MC, but it really is mindless bullsh*t and I would recommend using your time on a better series.

If you read above 1500+ chapters you are in for the world building and the bigger secrets and not for the cannon fodder villain story. Stop complaining that its repetitive.

That aside the bigger story with peak experts is one of the best out there and a truly enjoyable read.

When you read a Chinese martial arts web novel, you know what you are getting. The main character will always win at the end. He will always have women falling all over him. He will encounter lucky inheritance that will power him up massively. Emperor's Domination basically drops all pretense that the MC will encounter difficulties and rolls over all his enemy from the start to the end without a single drop of sweat. The novel however kept me interested by illuminating pieces of MC's past or MC's current encounters... more>> that is related to his past. If you are in the mood for a light read about super OP MC, then this novel is for you. <<less

The main character is a smug as*hole but at every turn you see that he has the chops to back it up. You might not think that he does but he usually has everything planned out. As the series starts out he might be kind of unlikeable and it might seem kind of repetitive. Though a rough beginning is something I expect in many novels I read, why I usually commit to 50 chapters if I start.

Cant say the story is for everyone, especially since the cultivation system seems a... more>> bit complicated with 1 too many aspects. Though the development in the story and the world building is pretty good after the beginning. Going through this pretty fast at the moment, probably be done with the next 1000 chapters in 2 weeks. <<less

This author got talent greater than hi*ler, Lucifer and all evil things you can think of combined. Many of the things I am going to say you probably wouldn't take my word for it or for some reason I failed expressing the main problems. Most people wouldn't understand until they read it themselve.

I started reading this novel because of the good rating.... I regret it now.

I read around 100 novels so far and never left a review but this time I made a account just to save people from the horrors of this author.

The author is pure tr*sh, most people drop this around a thousand chapter. I didn't want to drop it though because it took time reading that 1000 chapter so I wanted to stick to the end (bad choice). Let me get started with the problems:

The main character is arrogant as f*ck which you never really get used to learn to deal with over time, take all the arrogant people from all the novels you read so far multiply by endless 9999.

Out of the 3000 chapters out right now, all the parts that are not s*upid fillers can be fit into around 400 chapters (maybe even less).

The main charter has over billions of year life experience and through out the novel he pretends to be around 18 year ordinary mortal youth and expects everyone to stay away from his way while he walks around like a dip sh*t (all the existences that know his real identity never exposes it because he doesn't allow it). He likes doing this because he says he likes killing arrogant people (something along this line). The author makes everyone that gets in the MC way look shameless because they are all "older than" the 18 year old MC while in truth he experienced over billions of years of life.

He basically wastes time wondering around through worlds to get treasures to give to random girls he meets on the way. The number of heaven defying treasures the author introduces is uncountable then the main character wastes countless chapters to get the treasures then like after 1 chapter he gives them away to random girls.

The author likes putting little bit of Important information/not fillers in filler chapters so it's hard to skip filler chapters. Then again after few hundred crap that information doesn't matter anymore because whether it be treasure for cultivation or weapon or manuals... they get tr*shed because according to the MC they can't reach the apex.

Having a strong will (strong dao heart) allows the main character to kill peak existences even when his cultivation is all the way in the bottom (powers just come out of his ass or something).

After getting to the highest cultivation realm he destroys his foundation to cultivate a better system (he did the like 3 times through out the novel every time he goes to a major world, also they are pretty much the same realms/power just different names in different world). The author holds on to you by making it good for a while then all tr*sh chapters and just when you are about to give up he makes it better again, a continuous cycle. The fights are super fast because the MC is op but the author makes it over tens of chapters. There are so much more stuff wrong with this novel............................

Everyone who is almost caught up to the latest chapters are banging their head and trying to still hold on because they already spent so much time reading it (as they say when you ride the tiger you cannot dismount). My head hurts after remembering all this again so not going to continue but be warned if you want to read this novel.

I was able to read to chapter 1150 or so. And when I say read I meant skim through each chapter but there just so much "reading" I can do before I get tired of this story.

The author try to hard to make the MC profound and understanding of life or w.e but it comes off as the MC character just trying to look cool and nothing else. Every couple chapter the author has to state that the MC is not evil or good but just following his own path... more>> that has a lot of killing. Okay we get it you don't have to say it every couple chapter.

The MC has the right to be arrogant but he does it just to make trouble and nothing else. Half the time if he just explains or even have some manners than there wouldn't be any trouble but for him he's God and doesn't need to explain. Either you listen once or you die even if they don't know who he is.

The only reason it even has 3 star is cause I "read" so many chapters and it would be unfair to give it any lower when it was still able to kept me reading for so long. <<less

This novel is so ridiculously repetitive, it completely overshadows any positives it may have. It's a constant loop of [arrogant prick underestimates MC -> he dies horribly]. This loop gets repeated at least once every few chapters too, not just once or twice per story arc. You can read any 10 random consecutive chapters and it will basically sum up 90% of the entire novel.

So I have caught up with the rates and I have only one thing to say : Fricking Repetitive.

You have whole chapters after chapters serving no purpose except introduce someone and how great he is.

Battles are spread over multiple chapters where half the chapters are MC talking and treating everyone like a shit.

... more>> It's fine till a limit, but chapter after chapter of the same shit, gets on your head.

And fillers! HUNDREDS of chapters of no value. Nothing happens in them! Literally nothing!

I mean C'mon the whole story is crossing the 3000 chapter mark. Get a grip. It's already long enough. Cut the fillers out.

And there are whole arcs which make you want to do nothing but sleep... some arcs took me several weeks to get through them. Why? Because they were so boring that I fell asleep half way through!

Well that's done.

Should be renamed Emperor's Explanation.

Truth be told, the author is completely butchering his ideas. Emperor's Domination has a huge and interesting world, sets up tonnes of good mysteries about its universe, and has an amazing premise (old monster who's pulled the strings throughout history regains his body and uses his ancient knowledge & relationships / generations worth of schemes to pull off the impossible)... but the storyline is annoyingly repetitive and dragged out for the sake of word count, diluting the sheer awesome of the idea.

I'm sure some... more>> die-hard fans will disagree with me and the idea that this story could possibly have any faults, but there's a reason why the chapter comments are regularly made up (almost exclusively) of complaints about dragged out sh*t-talking and wasted chapters with zero developments.

You can see that the author of ED is amazing at the big stuff (world-building, secrets and intrigue), but terrible at gluing it all together by keeping the moment-to-moment part of the story compelling, excluding the face-slapping portions of the story, which are great: the villains are generally complete pieces of sh*t, which makes their inevitable beatdown really satisfying. <<less

I`m certain all the reader just want to see all the bloodbath and killing perform by the MC. (all of you bloodthirst reader! LOL)

Since all the arc are just the same repeatedly plot (arrive at new world - underestimated bcause looks like a rookie - got treasures/experts help - conquer beauties - massacre one or some big sects - go to another world - repeat)

To be honest, MC just like to troll every single time. Hes a million years old monster who like to bully juniors by walk... more>> randomly with a normal looks n offend/invite greed of some random juniors who obviously wont able to recognize him. and so the problem escalated after MC tr*shtalk, beat, finally kill em until it become a great scale war n end up as sects massacres...

So some will hate this, and some will like this. but even those who like this gonna get bored after couple repeated same arc plot... I know because I do... but then.. imagine 4k chapters of similar arcs/plot...
