A solid, yet somewhat lacking novel. Some arcs are quite enjoyable, some are utter garbage. Cultivation process is the same on all levels with no major changes, the female cast is irritating as in most other Chinese novels.

Still, my experience reading it wasn't that bad. If not for utterly failed piece of cr*p that was the rushed ending, i'd give this novel solid 3*.

This novel is too repetitive.

Spoiler

No matter how much the story develops or where the MC goes, he is always forced to act in defence towards completely unreasonable and meaningless provocation without variation. Those characters that oppose the MC oppose him till the end disregarding their own lives and even their own sanity.

I will be blunt. This is an average novel. There are some things that I hated. Some characters are just a burden and so useless.
... more>>
Spoiler

1. Girls are so weak AF. A burden. Useless being.

2. Servants and acquaintances are just burden. Gets kidnapped and then used as to threaten the MC. So fking useless.

3. Human domain experts were preparing for Demon Invasion but they are nowhere to be seen. Jiang Chen just used rats and sacred beasts and few divines. Armies are useless. Preparation was for naught!

4. Savage Tribe were not there helping against demons.

5. Where is Mang Qi and the other alien divine captives?

6. Embitter Bamboo was told by MC to conquer the whole tribe, but no news from them. They did not even help against demons.

7. WTF are the use of the other boundary stele?

8. What happened to that demon who possessed Prince of Shangyi?

9. What is the purpose of the sect members? Hiding and cultivating and no use at all?

10. Jiang Chen is one-man-army. Other people are so useless.

11. What happened to Flora Sacred Land? It was said that they remained there. So cool, not even one demon even thought of invading there.

12. I guess the 16 golden hairpins are just for fashion show.

13. What is the use of Ninesun sky sect and moon sect that is expanding? They didnt go against demons.

14. It was said that there were 3 confindates that was sent to 3 planes. Where are the other two?

[collapse]

The story was rushed. It could have been improved.
Spoiler
  1. All boundary steles should have been destroyed.
  2. They could have made an inter-plane zone. Other races uses the stele portals to go to human domain and then trade.
  3. MC could have used the armies and let the divine people lead some armies.
  4. MC could have used the empyrian decrees and divinity decrees as a prize for those people who killed more demons. Like contribution points.
  5. MC could have used the other races as a force.
  6. Cultivation Realms are few. They could have added more.
  7. Divine Abyss could have been like mortal realm, then there could be immortal realm and then divine realm. Sovereign of the Three Realms, right?
  8. MC could have conquered each alien forces behind the stele and make an army. There were 8 boundary steles and should have 8 tribes. MC could have used 8 tribe armies to reclaim the 7 sacred lands from the hands of the demons.

It's not too bad, and I actually want to read it. But I'm having trouble making it through the ocean of nonsense. There's just way too much filler in the form of repetition, the usual nonsense with drawing out battles, and the constant onslaught of rehashing old chapters.

Maybe someday I'll finish it, but probably not. I'm getting really tired of reading novels where the author fabricates everything out of thin air. I can accept a few things, especially when it comes to things like materials or pills. But there need... more>> to be some kind of rules and a lot fewer explanations. If you have rules and follow them, you don't have to fabricate reasons for who won or why it's a tie, etc. <<less

Not that good with words and composing them in an intelligent manner, so I'll keep this review overly simple. SOTR started off well but started falling into long dialogues of plotting, face slapping, and overly repetitive arcs. It's seriously become a drag to read further into the series, and I find myself skimming through paragraphs to get to the important parts of the chapter. The bulk of the chapters are just lots of filler, dialogue fluff, suspense, and s*upid antagonists underestimating him. Then when we get to the fight scenes,... more>> which are rare (if any), are short and anticlimactic.

It's ok to read, but gets tiring after awhile. The excitement dies down after a significant event. Overall, I'm already committed to this damn webnovel and I ain't no quitter. However, I am going to take a break from this series to try and binge read the series at a later time; instead of waiting just to read lots of filler.

Translation: EXCELLENT (5/5). I really appreciate etvolare's quality of the translation. I don't speak/read any dialect of Chinese, but I can see the effort she puts into translating this. I'm sorry to have to write such a bad review, so I'm taking the time to mention this. Sorry etvo, if you see this. Much love to you though! <<less

Well a resurrection due to a person killed because of a fart haha!

from this insane start to now where he is trying his best to save the world against a fight with demons, this is one roller coaster ride of a story I love and wait for every single day, although the pace of story has slowed alot and is in no way comparable to how it was at first, am hoping author picks up the pace later on

I admit I hadn't finish this one.

But this one, I like it enough to withstood the headache of MTL and read it till thousands chapters when it's not yet translated till that far.

Alright, short comings hmm... The MC is not indifferent, just detached. what do you expect? He was a son from the celestial emperor. He loves his subordinate. And the pace is VERY good. at least to me.

At the start of novels, it might be very cliche-ish and smooth-sailing usual trope. Decent. Completely decent. and then the next arc... more>> is in different kingdom.

Spoiler

Here, he'll find a terribly suffocating and frustrating female tsundere that I despised till my breath almost taken away. Worse, this tsun-nono, It's more fitting to call this holier-than-thou and -nobler-than-thou woman as himedere. with her frustrating conduct that I want nothing but jump into the story and finish her for once and all... sadly, she's the second lead and more spoilers

[collapse]

Spoiler

Will gave birth to a daughter for the MC, after accidental aphrodisiac incident that the Author forced upon Jiang Chen disregarding his otherwordly genius-ness and noble-ness. I hate the author in this arc for forcing this event even though Jiang Chen, the MC, had insisted to the girl that he has nothing but friendly feeling towards her. Yup. He never truly loves her, it's a miracle he didn't hate her becaus I already hate her to deep of bones. Did you guys feel familiar with this event-enforcing? Yup! The same as BTTH, two girls even in BTTH, luckily only one who was really gotten catch.

[collapse]

This novel has a decent and even good Female lead.

Spoiler

Surprise! surprise! The female lead is actually to my liking! It's that sick girl from the first kingdom. Huang'er. This one girl, managed to move the MC's immovable heart and made him fall in love, elegantly of course, no need for goddamn aphrodisiac and failed beauty save the hero acts. She's actually a beauty, faaar above the second lead, and also a hero who occasionally lend a help for the MC after the MC treated her affliction (But not the sickness)

Their romance could be considered as gentle as spring's breeze. as light as the fallen autumn leaf, as calm as winter's night. yeah I just made that up. Their feelings grew out of deep respect to each other, sincere and lovely, they slowly fall in love with each other mutually. No accidental r*pe.

The girl's family is also from the much higher realm, and her temprament is vary amiable. Like the MC, she's detached but not indifferent to those who care for her. She even helped the MC even when using her powers could make her afflictin become worse. All in all, dream female lead.

[collapse]

The MC will slowly moved towards the higher domains as his cultivation grew, making enemies and factions for his own self along the way. Make himself to be respected, feared, and also hated. Ideal. He slowly made his way up with his knowledge.

Spoiler

After he reached another higher domain, he's forced to hide his identity because he actually managed to kill the envoy to kill him in a poisonous forest. Let me tell you, this one's always surprise me. He'll find his dad eventually, and then his mom, and he actually has younger siblings! a feat that he never managed to get in his last life as he's the one and only darling child of his previous life's father. He has twin pheonix dragon younger sibs. The girl is the next holy maiden after his mother is 'defilled' by his father, whilst the boy is a plot device to thicken the adventure, because he's banished from the sect and never been heard of anymore.

In this arc, you'll also see the reason of my hatred to the second fl, The second FL who ran away after the incident, was actually residing in one of the big sect in this upper domain, and was actually kinda- their holy moly maiden. Praised for her beauty and whatnots. Even the MC's new bestfriend in this arc has a crush on her. her act of holier-than-thou is even more apparent and more disgusting for me as a fellow girl.

[collapse]

Rant below:

Spoiler

For god's sakes! She thought the MC is dead alongside the demise of their home domain, Myriad Domain, and was 'terribly devastated' and 'cannot move on as well very regretful'. Nothing is wrong with that? well, B*tch! You could literally go out, grab a random person then ask "Do you know Jiang Chen from Myriad Domain?" And you'll get an earful stories on what the MC had done. Killing the assassin envoys, sending the head of envoy's leader to the king of another domain who was the one behind the fall of Myriad Domain, and countless other disaster-level news! But she was like "He's dead, the love of my life is flippin dead" after she heard that Myriad Domain is gone. She has no confidence in her "love", even Gouyu trusted Jiang Chen like he's some sort of entity! and She's not even his woman, but subordinate! But the 2nd lead? Hah! a joke!

A freaking joke! She doesn't even take care of her daughter properly. She simply gave her to a wet nurse, then close herself for days of cultivation because of her 'obsession to venture deep in the dao blahblah' thing, and will only receive her daughter and play with her when she's free, like in the evening, before giving her back to the wet nurse and tell her to 'go and play'. This woman drove me crazy! absolutely disgusted! Even Medusa, from BTTH, who were like her in situation but far more bloodthirsty, never been descripted not hinted to abandon her daughter, she's very doting instead! this twit?

It was said that, she was found when she was pregnant, then she gave born, then after the child is born she only care for her for a few days before dumping her to learn the dao, like she's already some kind of celestial fairy who had detached herself from the wordly affair! AAGGHH!!!

[collapse]

Alright, leaving about the frustrating 2nd fML who truly didn't deserve her place. This novel also have some sort of hidden plot twist and mystery, which will make you dying out of curiousity. I haven't read it yet, but in the thousands chapter in MTL I read...

Spoiler

It was hinted, that perhaps, something untouchable in the MC's dantian? or whatever it is, was actually from his celestial emperor father. And was hinted that the fall of the "Heaven" in his previous life might be linked towards him and his Huang-fu (Emperor father). Because, the him in the previous life was born mortal without cultivation and can't cultivate immortality, but against all the odds, his father made him a pill for immortality, which triggered the wrath of fate and destiny.

[collapse]

It's interesting and refreshing actually. If you want a serious conspirational story without the indifferent cold-hearted and ruthless MC who snatched every girls in vicinity. this one took the cake. The pace is decent imo, and the story is interesting, too bad I forgot where I left it at.

Spoiler

I still want to know about the little brother, he sounded like a perfect cinnamon rolls and I want the MC to properly love and dote on him. the Sister is decent, because all of my resentment had been taken by the 2nd fml, I feel the sister is very much decent and cute, though it wouldn't hurt for her to soften a bit for his eldest brother.

Sovereign of the Three Realms isn't your typical xianxia story. The story follows our star Jiang Chen, former son of the Celestial Emperor, now reincarnated into the body of a mortal boy who's died from being caned to death (for farting). Follow him on his journey to collect pokemon and start his old men harem!

What I enjoy most about the series is that we'll find that it's neither as repetitive nor as predictable as other xianxia or wuxia. Rather than focus many chapters on lengthy battles and abstract cultivation, a... more>> lot of the story is based on the dialogue interchange between key characters. We witness witty exchanges and some ruthless face-slapping as our MC faces off his enemies in the dao of verbal argument.

Having said all that, some arcs of the story do go too much in-depth with details, making the arc 'boring'. In fact, at one point, I gave up the novel. However, as with all translated novels, much (majority) of the story is dependent on the translation team; and SOTR is lucky to have a very dedicated, consistent and meticulous TL team. Etvo and team randomly and spontaneously drop double releases on just about any occasion!

I would recommend this novel to readers that want some more outlook into the plot rather than the same old repetitive cultivation growth type stories. <<less

As of ch 1022, SoTR has been a steady story that is neither supremely exaggerated, or overtly dry and disappointing. To this point SoTR is one of the few novels that I continue to read and hope has a good finish. The English translation reaches the quality of a native writer while still keeping the flare of the Chinese idioms and style.

Due to the literature-like quality of the Chinese -> English translation, this is a good novel to recommend to a new reader of translated Chinese novels.

A little context. I... more>> have read a near exorbitant amount over the years. Even to the point of being accused of inflating book counts because of it being a ridiculous outlier. As I have matured and even delved into reading European and American classics, both of Literature and of Fantasy, SciFi, Adventure, etc, I begun to realize that there are repetitious elements that are so blatant that there are academic terms for them, namely 'The Hero Cycle." New readers will find this cycle new and exciting, and often attribute this 'newness' to the first author that introduced them to it, where as a veteran reader will see the commonalities and how skillful, or not, the author was in implementing the archetypes, tropes, and unfortunately the stereotypes. After growing weary of western fiction, and due to health issues of limited hand capacity, I turned to Media and LN translations from over seas. I was intrigued by the new premises, the different societal context surrounding these works. From all over Asia to even France, their stories are written with a very different world view and common cultural Literacy then in the English speaking West. Where westerners know about Hercules, to undersized and unlikely heroes being thrust into carrying a small yet powerful burden around to defeat a Dark antagonist, in this new world of Literature we find references to an entirely different creation myths, (The 'Three Realms' is a direct reference to this), and hero types, where prestige and honor is often more important then rules, power or even accuracy. The concept of 'Face', literally the external honor and perceived status of an Individual.

However, as the quantity of stories are read, the novelty wears off and a story has to stand up under is own merits and not the weight of a entire culture. Japanese Anime and Light novels, Korean Web-comics and novels, Chinese Web novels each have a separate flavor and something new to experience regardless of which story you pick first and where it stacks up to other works of their genre. So after you learn the 'Language' and 'Building Blocks' of Wuxia, Manga, Anime and the like, different qualities rise to the surface. Translation quality becomes more paramount to see the subtle differences of plot and style and the rising of standards.

On this count, SoTR is a suitable offering, because a new reader can enjoy the story while learning the new genre, with out the frustration of translation gaps, and an older reader can see how a different author and translator, has approached the common Archetypes, tropes and stereotypes of the genre. SoTR is neither to obtuse or on the nose. The protagonist is an upright person and contains many of the basic traits of humanity, whatever the culture. The author weaves story elements together from the beginning plot points, through out the smaller arcs, and large far reaching plot mysteries that will many 'books' to finish. This is another good point for this story. Given the medium of Western readers, namely published hard copies of books, we see story arcs that come to a finish in one book, and if it is a series, there are elements that tie them together. SoTR doesn't suffer as much from the issues (and benefits), that come from an online chapter by chapter format, that many other Chinese stories are plagued with. Read any number of review and stories and you'll hear about the face-slapping power up cycle that is often the ONLY driving force of the novel with no story to mention. SoTR has the power cycle and face-slapping which seems to be a desired flavor of Wuxia/Xianxia, but also has character growth, moments of understanding and longer term mysteries that the protagonist deals with that are apparent in the earliest chapters, plus a fairly plausible reason to the genre need for the said power-up cycle and new antagonists.

The short of the long winded dive into genres and cultures is this: Sovereign of the Three Realms is a solid offering, both of the Wuxia Genre and the experience of reading a translated novel. The story has not betrayed it's readers or the style promises it made from the very beginning. It has repeating motifs, but this is balanced with the loyalty and recognition of the individuals and questions raised along the way. In Wuxia lingo, - the protagonist resolves his Karmic ties before moving on.

I recommend SoTR as a good option for introducing the Wuxia genre, along with 'Desolate Era', which also does not betray the reader and main character, as well as 'Library of Heavens Path, ' as an in depth and near parody of the face-slapping style of Wuxia, with some good humor and self-awareness. Even to the well read Wuxia expert, the translation quality of SoTR is a well appreciated respite from poor Machine Translating or questionable 1 to 1 translation of words without the intent of the author coming through.

Happy Reading! I hope the world of Wuxia fantasy is a fascinating journey of discovery and maybe, just maybe, a window at building understanding and compassion with, what at times, can be a vastly different out-look on life from individuals and cultures from across the world. Cheers. <<less

Very Dominating MC!

At first I like how dominating MC was. Definitely good way to relieve stress and anger. But as the story goes along. MC's human nature does not develop, which I find as MC''s flaw. In my imagination, MC is arrogant, I understand that he was a bigshot before. But can he at least improve his attitude a little.

The novel was a great read for the first 300 chapters. Then it begin getting a little repetitive which is okay but my main problem is no one stand out in the story except the MC. It's good to have the MC be the main attraction but if you make him the only attraction than the story starts to get boring. Side character aren't that important and if they are its only for that one instant than they're forgotten or in the background show casing how awesome the MC is.

Love it! Always look forward to the new chapters! The only thing I wish was that Jiang chen would begin to utilize or power up some more powerful martial techniques. His normal martial ability only gives him it seems an absolute advantage on his level. Although logically this actually kind of makes sense (maybe all these other novels got it wrong lol!!)

I went in reading this with high hopes as a reincarnation xuanhuan, but I'm somewhat disappointed at the level of writing, as well as the MC's intelligence quotient. As other people said, the novel spends way too much time on characters which can barely be described as side-characters, Jiang Cheng notices their "talent" but they end up doing nothing except for needing his help or rescue all the goddamn time.

Mentioning the MC, considering he lived for 1 million years in his previous life and spent most of his time as... more>> a scholar/alchemist, you'd think he would be smarter than taking out a precious never seen before (in his current plane) pill recipe, then getting shocked and angry when some large sect robs it from him and starts selling his pills.

In the final analysis the novel is readable but has a lot of annoying points, definitely seen worse though. If you like TDG it's still worth reading. At least the author didn't give up half-way. <<less

Pretty average Xianxia/Xuanhuan Story imo. After reading many novels of that type I didn't saw anything new new or sth. worth to mention. Not any strong point, it's not funny like HJC or ATTE, no depth, no new aspects/viewpoints like "My disciple died yet again", no interesting main character... maybe u can count the many translated chapters as strong point.

If you hope for a story where a reincarnated MC stomps everyone because of his past knowledge read Emperors Dominance over this.

Story:
Story is about the reincarnated son of the Celestial... more>> Emperor (some high lvl dude), who has lived for millions of years and because of that got perfect knowledge about cultivation, techniques, medicine etc. The protagonist starts off as a noble in some backwater region and is looked down on by many other nobles but got a supportive father. Through his immense knowledge he is able to rise against all obstacles.

My view:
You will see many overused plot elements like:
Spoiler

- viewed as tr*sh/underestimated (even when he is hailed as genius in his kingdom, in the bigger kingdom still all look down on him ("uhh hes just a backwater genius he don't know heaven and earths" etc.)
- when he makes sth (sell a pill receipt/gives a present etc.) all look down on it and laugh about him but then theres this one superfamous master who can see how good the present is and the situation is reverted.
- beauties fall for him, important senors favor him, emotions>brain, s*upid enemies etc.

[collapse]

My problems:

Spoiler

- Author is inconsistent which hurts the story, hails the MC to got no rival in his starting region because no one understands how to cultivate right except for him, but then he lets the MC still struggle.
- There was no clever enemy so far and everyone who had a grudge against MC couldn't step down, even after several loses, until he dies.
- Too descriptive/repetitive, some chapters could be easily compromised into 2-3 sentences and u wont miss anything (for example c.83-84: Author mentions like 6 times that MC would've died if not everything happened like it happened.. I mean we get it that MC was in a dangerous scene, no reason to repeat that 6 times).
- Author gives MC some followers but they got no real use except adding useless plot (getting captured and MC must save them/ Half a chapter about MC helping them to cultivate - for what? MC fights all his fights alone, where is the use of wasting so much words on them).
- No depth in the story/characters/world.
- Bad plot armor. When he gains something new, it is necessary to resolve the next upcoming problem; he gets a million man birdarmy, 10 chapters later he must fight against a million man army. He gains many rats, 10 chapters later he needs them to search the city for him and kill a general.

This novel has tremendous potential, but it's hard to give an accurate review of it, since only 134 chapters have been released as of this review.

The story isn't progressing fast nor slow, I'd say it's going at a reasonable pace. The MC is a reincarnated immortal, with millions of years of experience, so him being OP is an understatement. What differs this MC from most, is that, while he were an immortal in his past life, he never had the talent to practice martial arts and cultivate, because he was... more>> born a cripple, only to become an immortal thanks to his father being one of the strongest existences to exist. Now being reincarnated, he gets the chance to practice martial arts/cultivate.

MC being a cripple in his previous life, while still being born of high status and immortal. After the reincarnation he's not arrogant or think of himself as better than regular mortals, being a cripple previously probably mellowed him out. (Lol)

The interactions between MC and side characters are done great so far, having some actual meaning, while I do think that many, or most of the characters introduced in the beginning will be "brushed off" sooner or later, I do believe it will be necessary as he grows more powerful. Lots of politics and power struggles in the beginning and "fights between mortals", as MC is still weak. It's basically just the foundation for the story, these 120+ chapters.

The MC is a very likeable character. Calm, collected, scheming, smart, dignified and not ruthless without a reason, this is the MC if you give a summary of his personality. He isn't sex-crazed like so many other MC out there, but seems to keep some standards and integrity. I doubt this will turn into a harem, from his personality, it doesn't seem likely at all.

Overall, there's not much yet to say about this, except that it's good so far. Easy power structure to understand and a real enjoyment to read. Nothing earth-shattering have happened yet in the story, or anything that would make me really give this a rating better than good, 4/5 is were it's at, for the moment. <<less

– the only reincarnation MC who die because FART !!!

– have the knowledge of all heaven and earth ?? mostly in alchemy and martial skill though, cos in some chapter he doesn’t know about formation (5/5 point here)

– RECRUIT and TRAIN his own subordinates and disciple, I hope in the story he will create the best army on earth/or maybe create some sec?? imagine it just like suikoden in PS1 (4/5 point here, because who know if they only become side char or growing side by side with MC... more>> and become MIGHTY subordinate)

– Unpredictable !!! who know what the MC know? in most novel I read, I know what the MC power or skill, but this MC only the author and god know what he can do... (5/5 point here)

– WAR!!! KILL!!! MASSACRE!!! he have army, and destroy other army... not only 1on1 duel or MC against MANY. NO!!! he have his own army (4/5 point here)

- MC doesn't have any weak point !!! he weak just because not have enough time to train... he is just like nie li (TGD) 'know it all'

all on all there is no bad side yet from this novel <<less

There was a time when i’m waiting to read for each chapter in this series but even the greatest must be replaced, and the fallen forgotten. The son of exalted celestial emperor who do something with such grace and polished manner, now he turned into mere rubble in the street.
Spoiler

At the latest arc he used the bird he got from an acquaintance and use them wantonly, don’t he know when borrowing something (the bird has feeling too) they need to take care of it? Then he failed to kill a mere woman whose strength is lower than himself because he got kill blocking by three separate group with impeccable timing. First her father, then duo useless senior brother (which arriving grandly and beaten by jian chen after a full month of chattering, then when we know that finally this b*tch is going to die, there come another senior brother which I assume can save her. Well I dropped it at this point.)

I remember start feeling discontent after the second examination, which jian chen need to collect personal bodyguard. The people collected under his is so undeveloped, saved the girl whom he saved before being r*ped. The others is ridiculously devoted on jian chen with him doing nothing.

For the sake of our past feeling, I give this series 4/5 star even though it’s closer to 2 star now from the point of story. The translation is superb as always! I love you volare translation <3

though I rated it to be 5, it is probably 4.6 or something like that. the concept and the characters are unique. the literature skills could be better but we can't really complain about the english of a translated work. the one good thing (till chap 100 or s atleast) is that the MC is on his own. no school. no sect. he uses his own knowledge to create a galaxy of individuals around him. it makes the story pretty interesting. also, the politics give another dimension to the story... more>> in addition to cultivation. would definitely recommend it.

EDIT: c510 right now, and I have to say.. it is going to get 4 from me. It is still good, but the fact is that there is too damn much filler. Not to mention...I like to see at least some amount of romance. The plot progresses at a snail's pace. While I recommend this for reading when you have nothing better to do, this is not Mango approved.

EDIT: 2231 chapters in, and it struggles to stay a 3. The issue with SoTR is the fact that it is a completely plot line. You can see the next development from about 100 chapters ahead. The loss of predictability and more importantly, the lesser screen space given to the main girl is very disturbing. Especially considering that the main girl is just an amazing character.

SoTR feels like an awesome idea which just lost its way due to the deadlines of the author. In the end, it falls terribly short as I skip tens of chapters, unable to feel any connection with what is going on.

This is not Mango approved. <<less

MC gets reincarnated into a debauchee who gets killed for farting during a sacred ceremony. It's a unique intro into yet another reincarnation story. MC is a former character who could never practice martial arts, however this second chance at life and at martial arts is a dream come true. With his superior knowledge, he's bound to become OP at the speed of lightening. Up to ch 25, it's an interesting series and I like how the MC isn't hell bent on some revenge plot and isn't a bully. He's... more>> quite mentally mature and has his own methods to deal w/ troublesome issues like politics, money, and society without become a tyrant. <<less

Ok so I believed some newbies review about the MC being OP and got on the hype train only to be disappointed...

The MC is 'allegedly' all knowing of martial art techniques and pill concocting and bla bla but in substance he is just a pathetic weakling who whines about being powerless and wants to grow strong but always rushing things and always using tricks to resolve things...

In a primitive dog eat dog world where strength reigns supreme I hate it how a ant like MC always gets away using tricks... more>> and external help... <<less
