In terms of storyline, SoTR follows the generic xianxia progression, and to be honest, apart from the curious background of the protagonist, most of it is rather cut and dry. If you're looking for a groundbreaking, unique story, this is not it. However, this is not to say that SoTR is not well written. In fact, the writer is adept at creating many subplots that add to the overall scale of the story. While the main story follows the usual tropes in cultivation novels, as a reader, many "seeds" (hints, foreshadowing, etc) are sown throughout the early part of the novel (first few 100 chapters), which are later revisited in greater detail. This is one thing that I appreciate about this story - as it differs from other novels where characters and locations are introduced purely as stepping stones for the protagonist, after which they are treated as disposable and henceforth forgotten for the rest of the story. Honestly, while this review might paint a rather bleak picture of SoTR, I still gave it a 4/5, and admittedly I've been reading it for quite a while now. If it were not worthy, why would I be still reading it, and much less be reviewing it? The main allure of the story, for me, is the world that the author has created, and the mystery surrounding the protagonist. From the beginning, it was proven to me that the author weaves in subplots for a reason, and he faithfully revisits them (unlike other authors who might forget completely about certain characters mentioned early on). This gives me confidence that the story is worth investing my time in. Characters
Honestly, the characters in the novel are not the most realistic and relatable. To clarify, as a reader who has seen most of the boneheaded, naive protagonists in battle LNs, I appreciate characters who deviate from the norm and instead think rationally to avoid battles (take Warlock of the Magus World for example). In this aspect, SoTR seems promising, although most of the time the main character just overwhelms others through the sheer amount of "trump cards" and treasures he possesses. There are certain arcs where the protagonist displays his wit, but overall it seems pretty underwhelming, considering his background and actual age (apparently millions of years old). I'd expect more wisdom and cunning from someone who has lived that long without cultivating. The other characters are not worth mentioning, as their thought processes are seldom explored, or are unsurprisingly shallow. Though the lack of depth to the one-dimensional side characters is a pity, as a whole it does not really hurt the story in terms of enjoyment. Progression
Honestly, up till now, my criticisms of the novel were only minor issues that did not really affect my enjoyment of the story. The above issues I wrote about are actually trivial problems that only surfaced after thinking about my reading experience thus far. My only real gripe with this novel is the pacing which seems painfully slow and pointless. Some novels are slow for the sake of world-building, or character-building, or plot development. However, this novel seems to be painfully slow for no particular reason at all. Perhaps, it is my lack of understanding as a reader, failing to grasp the author's motive. Still, to me, this problem has plagued this novel since the beginning, where obvious developments would drag out over the course of an excessive amount of chapters. This problem seems to ail many novels, perhaps as a result of the profitability that comes with the increased quantity of chapters (on the author's side). The story only started to speed up after 500 or so chapters, and even then it hasn't really shown much improvement in the pace. Hopefully, it improves more after the 1000th chapter. Translations
On a side note, kudos to the translator (volarenovels) for doing a great job with the novel. The accuracy of the idioms, the overall meaning and humour, etc.
The shining point of this series lies in the story's constant focus of Jiang Chen and his character. We know about his background, his aspirations, his goals, and how he is going to obtain them since he slowly elaborates on an objective before going about it. Jiang Chen, despite not being able to cultivate in his previous life, is incredibly steadfast in maintaining the perfect foundation during his cultivation. This can be seen by his decision to put off advancing to the next stage, because he does not possess all the pieces required yet for a perfect breakthrough. Too frequently in xanxia, we witness protagonists having plot armor, or veering off from their original objective due to more convenient lucky encounters. In this story, the end goal is laid out, and the journey itself with the ups and downs, and immensely satisfying face-slapping accentuates Jiang Chen's conquest to reach the pinnacle.
