I'll have to give this 3 stars. Please hear me out and I believe there's a lot of bad points we can't ignore in this Novel.

The Negatives:
The MC is incredibly selfish. He wants anything by any means necessary. It doesn't matter if its bad or good as long as he accomplish his goal. And he doesn't really "Love" Fanny but sees her as an object to relief his desires that he couldn't do in his previous life. The Power leveling realms doesn't make sense at all. There's no plot... more>> really. And no Character Development! If there's any there's one character, it would be Phoebe. Fanny really is a detestable character. She makes no sense at all. Honestly there will be a lot of moments you will be pissed off while reading this..

The Positives :
-I love the way the MC is conniving and always manage to get his enemies in trouble.
-I also really love Lisa and Phoebe as a character. Very outstanding personalities.
-Its certainly funny but Lisa makes it worth it.

If you're going to read this please be aware this MC is Evil. He is just as bad as the Villains in this story. Seeking power to be on top of the pyramid. There are times he is "Kind" but that's only when you bow and submit yourself to him. I am pretty disappointed because the Author doesn't put the other Characters to good use despite their potential! <<less

No need to wait for 95 as shuiko says. It's good from the start (I haven't read the raws, I'm up to ch 36). If you get over the first 2/3 chapters it starts building up nicely.

5/5 chapters 300 and below

2/5 chapter 300 to 425

writer has a tendency to overexplain things the problem is the explanation is so idiotic.

writing is so unfocus. But good thing that it is not redundant

writer introduces new concept out of nowhere that are rather convenient

bad writing style from chapter 300 and up. Its so bloated.

it's alright, however if you like your MC being nice to his lovers.. Don't read this. He doesn't give a SINGLE f*ck about them, he lies to them constantly about his secret woman and only when they all find out about each other does he confess, also the writer treats them like fools. No matter how shitty the MC treats them they always forgive them when he flirts with them for a couple of minutes and boom everything is fine.. Bleah. At one point he went missing for 3 f*cking... more>> years and when he finally returned the first thing he did was go and flirt with other woman and kill random characters for months. It's funny because almost every time he has to leave to do random sh*t the writer mentions "And without notifying X lover".. As if it's something to be proud of lmfao

All his lovers were basically stockholme'd as they were r*ped and then they miraculously started having 'fealings' for him.. Lmfao, also im not sure if the writer just wants the MC to treat them like this or just forgets them when he writes sh*t out, its very bizzare. <<less

Chapters usually around 12 - 15 minutes. Ending a bit rushed, especially visible in last 150 chapters. Not too emotional but definitely fun. Didn’t make me cry or feel too attached but made me read way to long into the night and made me cheer for main character or want someone to die in horrible way. Easy to remember names and power system. Interesting premise and no fluff. Character don’t hesitate to kill but also don’t kill without reason. Over all I would say... definitely read it.

  • Let me be brief.
  • The story was good, very good... In the first 500 chapters. But the later half of the novel the readers were kidnapped by their desire to end the novel.
If you are a completionist, dont even bother reading more comments here. Go to veratales in the last chapter: finale, and see the reviews.

The ending was a sh*t in a new level. From the beggining of elysium, it was pure crap. No character depth in the whole novel, either. No world inside the author to see like in pott.... more>> Nor good plot or power system like wmw.

Honestly, this novel wasn't worth my time. And after elysium arc, neither it is worth yours. <<less

Started with a bang and ended with a fart. This was definitely one of my favorite novels sick of the big baby MCs who somehow can't let go of their parents? Here those irresponsible people who the MC never met stay that way and he doesn't seem them out unlike some idiots. Idiot MC with doormat personality? Where? I don't see him. Cool cultivation check. NICE Harem check Etc etc

But then it all went downhill at some point like all his other novels. Sadly just like God of Slaughter this... more>> turned to underwhelming crap pretty quickly. This author and endings don't mix. What a waste of a potentially great novel. <<less

Honestly I liked it a lot, probably because I started reading it in other translation where the translator actually changed a few things that he didn't found to be correct. So, maybe that's what made me like it.

As for the rest of the book, it was ok I guess, typical chinese novel.

But what I didn't like was when MC became a god and left the world to ascend along with his wifes. The story just completely disposed of all the secondary characters we have been meeting and knowing through the... more>> story by leaving them to die at that world as MC started to feel the ages to pass extremely fast and before he knew they were all already old, except for him.

And the wives, of course, 90% of his harem is just completely useless and if they don't remember you that they actually existed then you will forget them easily, except for the three main heroines.

I hated it when he became a god, that's all <<less

This story is very good one of my best especially since MC is the way he is. A chaotic neutral character who does everything to get what he want but still doesn't do good or evil. He acts according to situation and then does good or evil act and even that so called evil act is perfectly reasonable given such situation. Also he's good to those close to him and extremely evil to those he considers his enemies. I like that kind of characters. Also he shows his full strength... more>> and doesn't hide it when necessary. Plot is also good little confusing in some beginning chapters but then everything is clarified in later ones of how he got reincarnated and how he got everything he needed in lower realms. Just patience is required.

Spoilers ahead

.

Those people who're saying sh*t about story are probably those who haven't red the story over 100 chapters even though good Chinese stories takes at least 100 chapters to set everything up. Also yes it's true MC acted like dementaled and retarted person around ch 50 but that was it. He never acted like that ever again in whole story.

I've also seen people complaining about how he gets everything he needs even though such things are supposed to be rare and yes that's true but only till he stayed in lower realm and the reason why and how he got everything in lower realm is becuz of the person whose setting took him his soul to this world. That person came from MC world through breaking universe boundaries but got ambushed and left on verge of death he decided to set up a massive array to get the should of someone from his world to get reincarnated here and he was also the one who settled up everything MC got in lower realms (for example places of extreme). Now the reason that power house did all that was becuz he wanted someone from his world to obtain his inheritance.

All this and more is explained and shown in later ch (400+ I think) <<less

Ok. I'll admit it. When I found out this was a harem and isekai I was less than enthused. Who wants to read the same predictable story? Since I was really bored, I decided to give it a try. It was completely worth it! The transformation and growth of the main and secondary characters are really entertaining. There are enemies you get to really hate and despise and the only thing that you can think of is when they are going to get killed. They're annoying! I hate the church... more>> of light for example. Most of the people that complained about the novel have only read around 50-120 chapters and I get why they dislike the novel. The story unfolds really slowly but once it reaches the climax, it gets way better and you even can't force yourself to stop reading. <<less

The MC is too Crazy and idiotic for me. It seems like the only way he manages to escape death every single time is due to plot armor and everyone dismissing him as crazy, No one wants to kill him no matter what he does.
Spoiler

And the person who killed brian (who I also assume will be the first harem member) Is also crazy.

At the base line, this series suffers from the 'Power Escalation' problem of shounen series.

Next, we have a shitty MC. After gaining powers, he thinks whatever he does is right. At this point he is no different than those villainous isekai nobles we all hate. He gets shittier after every chapter.

Last but not the least, we have poor character development, and loose story threads (that begun, but left dangling in the middle.)

Overall, the first 500 or so chapters are readable. After that, you will think about dropping this shit.

It started off rather weird, I actually got tired of it as it felt so low level, the first 100 chapters felt like I was reading a novel set in a high school, with high school level antics.

I had to get over the hump and found it did have an interesting universe, the mixture of western style magic and cultivation is interesting but it doesn't enhance the story by much, just gives a different avenue for the MC to be OP.

I got fairly into it until we hit the heavenly... more>> world or whatever it's called, once that happens virtually all previous important characters are relegated to the side, to be mentioned in a summary.

The story went from feeling somewhat structured with an overall goal, to feeling like the MC is just going from incident to incident making the story all jumbled. <<less

This is pretty good, never gets dull, rare you come across something cliche, the only issue I have is waiting so long for a chapter to appear and the moronic harem element, apart from that its actually pretty good allround... well, so far at least.

This novel lives up to the hype and intrigue that the initial reader has for it that is though only for the first half. As soon as he ascend it becomes what we have all read a dime a dozen in these Chinese Novel's, to the point where you can take a baby give them a template to write with and just give a stamp of "close enough" if they just decided to forgo writing and defecate on the paper. Such a shame this author has this problem to frequently... more>> as well even spirit realm is excellent around 3/4 but the last home stretch is just somewhat of a "wtf happened?". <<less

A very good Novel. Probably one of the best there are! One thing that really stands out IMO is the writing itself, its far from really high level writing found in fantasy books etc. But considering that most Novels are bad writen this one is above avarage.

I like pretty much everything about this novel, story, action, romance everything is great. The only problem are plot holls... A little bit to many.

One of my favorite Novels :)

MaReview: The story starts amazingly, there are lots of sentiments moved by Bryan's life experience, love life is good and well described, but towards the end of the love story is like falling into a ravine, there is more about war and intrigue, fraud seems endless. What makes me bad about this writer is how thicc is the plot-armoring, like when suddenly in a tight situation Bryan explodes and gets the power of the OP (before: only dark and dead, after: there are 12 more elements) something like this hardly... more>> explained even if you have a PhD about Taoism and Xianxia. The world is depicted as being very small, the writer narrates about the continent but the story is always around the valley / city, there has never been a strange event (hey, god of the world, you know?), There are no planets or galaxies to increase this' definition is more like the name of a cultivation level. To summarize it is possible if this novel could end in chapter 2k but in a hurry, the author does not give each of the main protagonists their side story

I want to complain but what I have to say... the ending is bad but at the same time okay, compared to some other novels this could be heaven... ok I won't say anything about the whole book but instead complain about the fate of the temporary goddess no one mentioned him, even if he did all that so they could kill the goddess of creation, I was too disappointed in things like he misunderstood... he was not a good mother and his behavior was more disgusting than eccentric ppl, then MC came in and said 'sorry'.. aiyo I really hope he dies but dear ah how sorry the sky is not fair to me.. <<less

Dominant protagonist that takes what he wants without hesitation. If you like that sort of thing, and aren't repulsed by the ambiguity that may involve. This story is exactly for you. If you do find it repulsive, then well, you're clearly in the wrong place.

The story possesses apt characterisation, the protagonist evolves into his power, and in the process becomes a leader. When he does mature into a leader, when compared to his previous self, there's an enviable amount of difference. All good thankfully.

The greatest negative of this story must... more>> however be mentioned. The protagonist can make rather foolish decisions, with the hope in mind of later 'conquest'. Not of guilds, nations, or empires. But of women. It makes the protagonist seem excessively blinded at times. Imbecilic even.

Entertaining read. <<less

The first half was fine but the second is just half-assed.... especially the developments with his harem... I read it for the romance but the second half has almost zero romance at all just a few lines here and there about the girls... and the MC is kinda dumb for leaving the girls for a few DECADES!! Decades!! omg... I'm dying... if the author wants do a quick ending then atleast give me some side storiesssss.. I want to know what happens after he has time for the girls... where... more>> the kids at.... pleaseee give me back my timeeeeee I want romanceeeeeeeeeeee.... if you are reading for the romance or snu snu then just read till ch 500 or smth and the snu snu aint even detailed....

Edit:
Spoiler

I just remembered about Delia.... he left her on Profound Continent without even telling her about his feelingsss he told her to wait wtff she's probably dead since decades have passed and she wasn't that strong when he left her.

And dont get me started on Sophie... I thought he left her too but turns out she's with him but it doesn't tell you until the final ass chapter. All the romance with the girls are too half assed. I wanted to see them get kids too... argh I feel cheated reading this novel.

In summary, this is a pretty mediocre novel. The main hero gets what he wants every time, rarely is there any struggle. There is also a big and useless harem. Every time we get any help from the opposite s*x, it's a new harem member.

Nevertheless, the overall story is mildly entertaining, which is above average mark these days. The ending is extremely rushed compared to the pacing of the rest of the novel, but at least there is an ending.

I recommend this for some light reading if you like power... more>> fantasies and harems. <<less
