2. It took almost a year and I finally got my hands to finish reading this novel, and I can say that she disappointed me. If the first 900 chapters were very interesting, then things got worse and worse. There were times when the work turned out to be terribly boring.

Reading the comments of other users who do not understand that the author created a character whose character determines all his subsequent actions. He also has his own set of principles that he uses.

Shi Yan is a pronounced anti-hero: an impulsive, cynical, lascivious womanizer, adrenaline junkie, arrogant and vindictive in nature, but always taking care of his family, friends and women tramp that wanders around the world.
This character does not allow him to create any schemes or plans, he is usually the hero of a loner striking his forehead.

In the world of martial arts, the author made the hero very arrogant and vindictive, with very dark abilities, thereby highlighting the character from the crowd. Or do you think that a good-hearted or a knight or some other positive hero would survive in the world from a whole universe of dark personalities? (He would simply have become dark himself or would have gone mad if he had survived, in general).

There are so many characters in the story, so many that everyone can not remember. Some characters just dissolve and disappear forever. These are usually very minor characters.

A lot of female characters, which are divided into 3 groups: His women, mistresses and women who disappoint him and just friends. He excludes women with treacherous character and cheap women, these are his principles. (There is people who are not able to understand that a woman who prefers Cao Zhi Lan in the first place, rejecting the feelings of her heart, is not suitable for him (this is not a series of money, then I do not need you.) Or heroines who try to sell themselves as a thing to any person who can realize their desires, telling the hero how you dare to kill him, do you know who his dad is? (Mu Yu De)

As a rule, he chooses women who do not demand anything from him or want him to become stronger than them. Only a few become his friends or mistresses under the yoke of circumstances. In the end, he left 4 women and 3 more who for various reasons are falling out of the context of the finale of history. (Although this is not written, but he will still revive Linda.) There is also a main love interest, which is just as slightly forgotten in the end of the story, however, like promises to other women like (Yu Ru).

A diverse combat system: begins on inborn fighting spirits and techniques. Then we turn to the acquired abilities, the creation of artifacts, pills, formations). Ending with deep meanings and their merging.

The first 900 chapters the hero defeats the enemies with his power or with the help of artifacts. Later in the second part of the story, various masters, the first ancestors and the final boss, practically merge by the author in various ways in the end.

And the enemies themselves with their plans and conspiracies are not smarter than the stump and are stubbornly straightforward and self-confident. Intelligence is enough to get lost in a heap and no more.

(even if you do not shout garbage to the hero, and I'll call my grandfather, although there are enough cliches everywhere). Score 4 stars with minus universal, scale. Read and on the shelf until the end of time. Although not as bad as many other works that I have seen. Out of respect for the author's, interesting beginning and talent writer, I do not put 3.8.

he discovers that he is related to a powerful family and begins to abuse his background as a means to achieve often detestable personal goals. Subsequently, a character who could have developed into a brooding sinister antihero instead becomes a petulant child, the archetypal wuxia villian who abuses his family's backround in order to accomplish petty goals.

Like the title promises, the MC is a merciless b**tard who kills lots and lots and lOTS of people (I'm talking giant massacres here), usually in especially vicious ways. One of his methods of cultivation directly involves absorbing people for power, to give you a bit of an idea. Shi Yan is also an arrogant guy. Truthfully, in terms of his personality there's really nothing good there. At least he doesn't pretend to be a good guy, though.

Honestly, the "romance" or harem parts of the story kind of kill it for me. I'm not a big romance fan in the first place, so the MC's casual attitude on the subject is a good thing, but on the same token I'm also not too big a fan of just how many of these scenes there are. Usually, my favorite part of any story are the characters, so when most of the side character aren't developed it can be a bit of a letdown for me. That's probably why I wish these girls would have a bit more characterization, even if he never actually invests much in them emotionally, it would at least make these parts a bit more interesting to me.

On the one hand the MC is open about his pe*verted nature, on the other none of his interactions with other women really give you the feeling that he likes any of them, and since the side characters don't get much characterization, the MC's personality and actions really end up carrying the story (no problem if you don't care, a big problem if you don't like Shi Yan).

As bad as it sounds, I'm mainly reading for the unbridled violence, and because I think the idea of absorbing people for power is interesting. Yeah, I admit it, the insane killing sprees are pretty b***ss.
