One of the best Chinese novels ever. MC is a lady killer 3:) . MC is not your typical character that just gets power and cultivates. He has a talent in Medicines and poisons. Anyways the plot development is excellent especially the character developments.

I love this novel. The MC is badass and live to be the center of attention
The story is also somehow easy to understand and the flow is not too complicated

But its a little bit repetitive, so its alittle bit annoying. The most annoying repetitive part is that somehow he was always get himself
Spoiler

trapped and lost everytime he won a tournament

Okay, I wanted to change my review at this point... My original review was at a point where the story was quite interesting, but now it has devolved into a really tr*shy and repetitive story.
It's still not on the level of Tian Cai Dou's novels, where you can pretty much skip 80% of each arc, but it's getting there.

Here's my original review that I regret writing, at the time, on chapter 543:

I'm seeing many people b*tching about this novel. Looks like they don't know how to read the tags Mature, Harém, Seinen. ATG is an excellent novel, with a good story, an MC that doesn't act like a child and knows how to solve problems with others things besides mindless violence.

The greatest problem that people bit*h about is his relations with the heroines, because he just don't stop raising flags.
Spoiler

He doesn't even f*ck everyone, at the moment (c543) he just had s*x with 2 women, one was his wife and the other was to save her life.

Chu Feng from MGA is a bastard who goes raping girls for revenge and I don't see such hatred for him

[collapse]
I'm sorry for any grammar mistakes...

You know there's something to be said about Chinese fighting web-novels, and usually not about good writing. It starts out pretty interesting, but poor writing skill be obvious over time. See what I did there, this what continuously happens in these time of novels... only difference her is this MC is a pimp (le) who needs someone to pops his bubble. Seriously, you might think a culture difference, but then you read the Chinese romance stories, and become flabbergasted... there no excuse. Nevertheless, it's a okay time like a interesting... more>> show that catches your eye when tv surfing, but make no mistake there's it's well written novel. <<less

I read the novel up until ch.350+ when I stopped following it because of unbearable plot armors of the MC and forced harems. The MC is what we call a 'common boy', with no redeeming qualities given multiple fortuitous encounters and almost no setbacks aside from the initial background of being a crippled. The writings are good and the plot moves smoothly but the character are not well-developed, shallow and are only there to accentuate MC's awesomeness. Nice to read, just not my cup of tea.

The novel is an okay read. Would give the novel a 5 if not for the flaws. Some people might hate the MC cause he mercilessly kills other people but I find it acceptable cause the MC himself acknowledge that he is no saint and his hands if coloured red with blood. One of the minor flaw is that the MC is too OP. His cultivation is fast when compared to low level fodders but its not high enough as the people that the MC offends, so how does the... more>> MC beat their ass? Well the MC is so OP that he can even kill those a whole 2 realms above his cultivation. Every realm has 9/10 levels. I get it if the MC can fight someone 1 whole realm above him but 2 realms, that's like 18/20 levels above him. Another thing that annoys me is that the MC is supposed to be this support wise and smart person but whenever he see a beautiful girl, he stop thinking with his head and starts thinking using his lower head. Like seriously. One of the main reasons he offend people is cause he wants the girl. <<less

This use to be (past tense) one of my favorite Novel's out there with fast release (Daily), Its quiet a good read.

The MC is your typical OP character with heaven defying charms that can attract almost all women inside the novel. The character of The MC is not also very bad (unless your one of those hypocrites who thinks MC's actions are wrong) This is after all a strong eat the weak kind of setting. Unless the MC is cruel to the innocent and abuse his power then we can... more>> say that is wrong but things like
Spoiler

Killing Millions of People by destroying a kingdom (before MC got sent to his 2nd life) or Tricking and destroying an entire sect. Crippling the bad guys (show no mercy to them).

MC's action mostly so that he well destroy the root so no problems well cause in the future. I also love how MC extract revenge (It's very satisfying one way or another).

I hate how people say MC's action is Morally wrong! I mean this is fiction there is no Moral what so ever since this world our norm does not apply!

[collapse]

In case of the heroines there are plenty. Some people are disgusted since there are 10-12 yrs old girls but seriously I am more disgusted with them. When did MC ever touch this girls?
Spoiler

1st girl was the girl who help him after MC destroy a whole kingdom killing Millions of girls (currently a 10 yrs old girl since MC went back to time in a parallel world)
2nd girl was his aunt (not blood related)
3rd girl was his Fiancee (the Ice girl)
4th girl was the blue princes
5th girl was the fairy Ice (3rd girls Masters sister)
6th girl was the phoenix girl

No names since I don't wanna spoil (seriously to many names can't help but forget about them). Why I did not include his loli master? For crying out loud she has no body in the first place does only exist at MC's mercy.

I'm very satisfied with the romance its not to much and is shown with some spice. Since this is not a romance novel in the first place

[collapse]

but like the saying goes, not all good comes with a good end. (No idea if this was even a saying) but lately this novel went down to much that it is very boring reading each chapter.

What I can say its to much repetitive plots! The chapters is like just a copy paste of the past chapter. You can easily expect the outcome. No more interesting twist its to bland! What happen to the main plot? To many characters being tr*sh (for example MC's Fairy wife and his child). To many new characters! That I can't help but easily forget about them. Its to boring! If a character dies then just forget about them don't put a long narrative background just to kill that character in the next chapter!

I can't help but compare as I read a lot of related genre novels. For example ISSTH has never been boring.

I also dislike how MC is always forever alone in his journey! He need a partner or at least a decent ally! It's very boring that MC always survive the impossible alone what's the point of inter acting with this old and new characters just to be discarded and MC well just went into a SOLO journey all over again!

Even the Bird that might help him search for his Wife and child was given to another new girl! (WTH is the author thinking!)

What about Justmine (MC is not forever alone right?) as if we can take that forever loli character which appear every now and then and won't even help the MC! And frankly the weak beat the strong is good but in the long run its really annoying! Some major powers already appear and MC still remain with his ever weak self with OP power! It was good at first but for example the current chapter MC is facing the strongest enemy so far! And MC is still weak very weak

Spoiler

MC just battle 11 powerfull opponent and still not won? Seriously is that even a tournament!?

This is clearly bullying from the author as the current enemy was another love interest for MC!

And so many disgusting and annoying enemies in the shadow, for example the guy who cultivate using women who's targeting MC's first wife. This is the worst enemy an author can think. It never leave a good taste when someone see women just a tool to cultivate.

[collapse]

As far as I am concerned I no longer feel interested about this, maybe the next arc well be interesting but the current arc is seriously boring! (The phoenix arc something) <<less

Although a great read at the begging, once you actually get used to it, it just gets annoying, I mean everything that happens around him is because of a women, nearly every time he gets into a mess is because of some beautiful girl.

I mean it is still a good read it is just that, it is making my opinion of having a beautiful girlfriend could only be troublesome/ tiresome especially when you have a harem.

I stopped reading this at chapter 366.

There are not much reasons but one of them is just enough for me to abandon this series.

And that is... "The moment you can't empathize with the protagonist, everything will all start to fall apart"

Yeah, I can't say that I hate him enough to annihilate his entire 9 generations but I still dislike the way he acts towards others especially the female leads. There is no romance whatsoever, only one sided love and the other is one sided lust. I can't say for sure... more>> because I stopped reading but that is just my impression in the previous chapters. <<less

Pretty cool. One of the earlier novels I read so it is special and some bias is formed. Especially since it was before getting tired of all the xianxia tropes and whatnot. It helps it isn't garbage. His harem is pretty s*upid tbh. And he isn't in extreme danger vs the elements. Kinda boring for the bad guys. Still cool.

i got here after I read through "i shall seal the heavens"

im at ch. 68 atm, and the only thing I can say for sure is that the author really likes to elaborately describe a single scene / person / statements, and fills half a chapter with nearly useless writing that doesnt even add some spice to the ongoing mood, as if I would now start to describe how many wrinkles an elephant's ass has...

but im still keepin on... maybe it gets better
... and if you are still readin this; Story wise there is nothin to complain about atm

At first I thought it was alright how he would act pervy in front of his romantic interests until he got married. Even after getting married he plays around with other women and adds them to his harem shamelessly then says he’s in the right even after she practically confesses to him. He seems to be dense sometimes and quick-witted when it suits plot and he even righteous r*ped one of his harem and got her pregnant! It has good action and interesting story apart from the fact that he... more>> finds everything he does as the right thing to do, not even the slightest bit bad just like how he offends practically everyone then whines that they try to kill him, he even seems to think the worlds against him as he even unconsciously offends people and leaves people who can kill him with some time to fully grow free so that he can complain about it later. Although he’s supposed to all smart due to his previous life he acts like an immature hentai who goes after any and every beautiful girl he see’s, then says he’s really in love with the several girls who rely on him. The guy has a messed up version of what true love is where he seems to think as long as he feels it towards a girl it doesn’t matter how many of them there are and increases them by practically lying to their faces about one thing or another. I can’t be bothered saying anymore, lets just say that it starts good then gradually becomes worse and worse until you drop it. <<less

Fun at the Start but the latest Arc left me quite Dissapointed. Still a staple for Xianxia Novels though. Also be aware that this Novel has quiete a bit of Up and Down, awesome scenes followed by boring forced Plot points.

Many Xianxia get the yy novel classification, loosely read as “mental m*sturbation”. And in this aspect, all are inferior to Against The Gods. It is the perfect fantasy for someone to enjoy when they just don’t feel very powerful or significant in life, because it shows you that you can be amazing, even if you don’t start out such. It is the perfect fantasy for seeing comeuppance received by the “big guy”, and the perfect story for people stressed with the complexity of romance or wanting such.

Just like m*sturbation,... more>> however, there comes a point where you honestly feel disgusting for enjoying it so much. You start to realize that everything is cyclical (tournament, run away cause I pissed someone off, powerup, save wife, tournament, etc.), and that all of the enemies are comic book villains. You start to realize his girlfriends are only a little bit more than dakimakuras, lacking personality or characterization in general. And you begin to feel a bit icky. At first, you might chalk it up to suspension of disbelief, but eventually it’ll start to get on your nerves.

The worldbuilding in Against the Gods is fairly staple for the Xianxia genre, which is wholesomely lacking and unrealistic. But its to be expected, so no faults there.

I’d give the novel a solid 3/5. Its enjoyable, for certain, even if that feeling is temporary. Give it a read.

Complex Score:

Worldbuilding 2/5 Its run-of-the-mill, but leaning towards the bad end of 2.5/5.

Characterization 1/5 Characters are one-dimensional, except for Yun Che. Villains are evil rapist puppy-kickers, and allies are nice, but mostly useless.

Story progression 1/5 Its difficult to give this story a 1 at all, given that there’s no real story. Its just the adventures of a Badass in a world filled with a**holes.

Enjoyment 5/5 Its a fun story for as long as you can stomach it, which is good enough. <<less

I'm currently re-reading it. The first time I read it the translation was still incomplete.

Why the heck would I re-read it?! The setting and story is actually quite interesting, slightly above your average cultivation novel. And you just don't remember the bad points...

The major problem is pacing... it just drags on for way, wayy, wayyy too long. Halfway into the novel, the MC is still stuck in his hometown (or back to it, whatever) and still working on his first main quest (find and revenge the guy who killed his... more>> father). There are chapters after chapters where MC repeats his monologue about how others did him wrong (and his family).

Just beat it and go on to the higher realms already. End the endless drag.

All in all it's not that great but also not that bad otherwise. <<less

I accidentally read the spoiler that mentioned Mu Xuanyin dying, like literally she always supported this piece of sh*t and helped him throughout the frigging novel and as a result loses her life trying to defend his hometown like what even, MC is literally heartless, he hurts all the women he is involved with so no I dropped it when he flopped everything and the women had to clean up after him, admirable for first 1k to 1.1k ch then goes to shet.

I've read alot of comments about this novel and most of them says it's not that good, but I think that's because they don't read it till the later chapters, so, I'll tell u for those that want to read this novel, everything about it is pretty avarage i.e while the MC is still in the lower realm, but after he went to the upper realm things started to get interesting, and especially after the MC got betrayed by the world.

  • Ps. The story between the MC and fMC got me surprised alot😭

Honestly this novel has the downfall of a harem but its deeper story truly compensates for it especially with the death of his family by his that old goody 2 shoes dude and his transformation into a demon I truly hope this novel ends on a bad ending as it would stand out. From what I understand the author has a habit of making the main MC wife betray him so I'm interested for his other novels

thought of reading it because its from same group doing TDG, so it might not be bad, but it was worse than Martial Peak.

too bad CN material are probably 98% tr*sh padded with infinite fillers: they have an interesting cultural and social context that is quite long/old, yet its rare to see stuff beyond the bully the weak/becoming the righteous stronger bully trope =/

To be honest, at first I started reading it, I thought that this novel has many potential.

But I stopped reading it at around 300/400 chapter, because I thought that the story has become repetitive.

After around 1 year stopped reading it, I started reading it again, just hoping to kill time and forget depression, never thought that I would be engrossed in the story again.

... more>> I don't know why, but I think the story become better and better.

Even though sometimes there's still repetitive element in the story, as long as we bear with it.

The romance is so-so, but it keep getting better as the story goes on (not every female MC fall in love easily with the main MC, especially his two master).

Overall, it's not that "super great" story, but it's become one of many story that I still read every update <<less
