The Prodigies War

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

In the vast and boundless continent Cangtu, there were ancient sects governing the Ten Old Domains, unworldly immortal clans beyond the Blue Sky, and primordial demon gods dominating the dark abyss that together created a great number of brilliant stories over the long course of the history.

In this very world, there was a boy, named Lin Xun, who embarked on his journey to the pinnacle of strength alone through cultivation and spiritual tattoo inscribing.

Escaping alone from the Mine Prison where he had been living since he was adopted by Master Lu, Lin Xun knew nothing about his identity but the little information his adopter, Master Lu, had told him. With two ancient spiritual tools Master Lu gave to him before the destruction of the Mine Prison, Lin Xun started his journey to Ziyao Empire, where he is supposed to find out the truth of his lost Spiritual Vessel and the person who slaughtered his family, leaving him orphaned.

Will he be able to unlock the mysteries of the two magic treasures, unveil the secrets of his identity and create a legend of his own?

I read this story based on the high rating here on novelupdates. com and really enjoyed it initially but after about chapter 90, things really went downhill for my taste.

... more>>
Spoiler

The downhill slide for me started not long after the MC leaves the small village to take the county exam.

[collapse]

After chapter 90 or so, the author just seemed to go a rampage introducing jealous young masters, face slapping and airhead beauties. These characters are often barriers that appear to be created just to introduce short-term conflicts (with no to minimal impact to the storyline) to force the MC to suffer and kill. This cycle repeats itself up to where I am at right now (chapter 302).

The MC was also initially very bright, using his cunningness to win over people. It's too bad, as the story progresses, the MC is now often very arrogant and narrow-minded. Despite having options, the MC always walks into the den of danger just because... he is arrogant and ignorant.

Spoiler

Keep in mind, the MC appears to be an orphan with no families to worry about. There is no time limit that he has to fight against. There is no real reason for the MC to keep putting himself in danger just to find the person that stole his heavenly veins (or whatever its called). Even if the MC finds that person, he is powerless to do anything about it.

[collapse]

Needless to say, I am disappointed with the direction of this story and will probably drop it in the next couple of chapters if things don't change. <<less

So, immediate turnoffs include barbarians (aka racism and dehumanization, a classic in Chinese novels) and borderline pedophilia (MC is fourteen and is flirted with and flirts with grown-ass women, MC picks up a 6-year-old who is described as peerlessly beautiful and multiple side male characters who are grown-ass men express interest in her.)

I swear to God, if the MC ends up with Shai Zi, I am quitting this novel immediately. Luckily, she disappears for a good 200 chapters, though it looks like she might be reappearing.

Now if you're OK... more>> with pushing through those caveats, this is a pretty good leveling up story. MC is multi-talented in spiritual tattooing and martial arts cultivation. He's gentle and friendly on the outside but ruthless and shameless on the inside. There's not 10 million side characters. It's an easy read. <<less

I remember binge reading around 2500 chapters (raws) and stopped as new chapters were not available.

It was a bit slow in the beginning, but the story progresses really good later on. There is a constant mystery or unknown thing in every arc which keeps you reading.

I don't remember many details. But there were some plot holes and absurd things here and there. It doesn't affect you much if you're binge reading.

Spoiler

He gets a kind of training system called gate to heaven which rewards him cultivation techniques and treasures. There is also a really OP woman sealed inside. She lends him her help a few times. After many chapters, the gate to heaven doesn't get mentioned anymore.

As in many stories, his mother is the member of a quite powerful family at a very far place. Like, he had to cross around 4 to 5 realms to reach her place. I didn't even reach the part where he goes to his mother's clan. He didn't meet his mother till now.

The first major arc involves his journey to the empire and reaching his father's clan. He is initially an orphan who is raised by an old man at a mine prison. He sets out to learn the secrets of his family and why his spiritual vein was robbed. He has two tools which the old man gives through which he gets the gate to heaven.

He goes to one world after another after this shocking everyone. He gets apprenticed to a mysterious person. A really powerful character, he didn't meet him till now though.

As I said, there are some mysteries which are constantly introduced which keep the story interesting.

This is indeed an excellent story!! I look forward to its update every week... The chapter list had bothered me for a long time too, but yesterday I suddenly found the relevant function on their website had been optimized. So in my opinion, the operator is nice and responsible... Anyway, I like this novel very much and hope the Lin and Shia could finally get married... Come on, translators!

Ok, this novel is pretty average at the beginning but it turn to be boring after a few hundreds of chapters. There a lot small problems that you can easily ignore, for ex:

... more>>
Spoiler

the fact that when a child appears everyone talks about her beauty

[collapse]

What you can't ignore is how endless the the enemies are and how annoying those npcs are. The MC is a guy with a poor background that wants to get the best resources, thats normal and ok.

But the problem is that you never know when he's going to kill someone or not, people would just run, he would just ignore some people, others he would let them, knowing they are vengeful, just to fight again in the nearly future being mad because they tried to harm mc's friend.

It makes no sense, the author drag things too much and creates endless enemies, there are 'a lot of powers' 'a lot of hidden powers', its virtually impossible to know how many people the MC would fight and offend.

Btw everyone is dumb, no one believes in rumors in this novel, people would gang fight someone just because other guy, the amount of side-enemies the MC killed is endless.

Now you read my review and think that he killed a lot, yeah, for sure, the he also ignores every guy that curses him, its like ''oh, MC's not going to lose time with that guy''. Extremaly annoying.

Also about his vegeance (not talking about how it's but things that doesnt makes sense)

Spoiler

He destroys every record from his life-time enemy while being much younger and people take that as NOTHING, btw his ENEMY IS THE NUMBER ONE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. How the f* you make someone look weaker after something like that?

[collapse]

Its a novel of constantly bullying, enemies escaping and MC killing them after a few arcs, nothing much. <<less

This is a solid 3 stars. Rather generic xianxia story that use and abuse of the classic tropes. If you like that then this is more of that for you.

If you know the classic "cripple MC find cheat and try to cultivate against the odds, while having a non-combate related talent that help make money".

The best part of the novel is that unlike others cultivations novels the enemies factions doesn't seen to be bound to some vague notion of social standing/face being happy to send someone higher cultivation to deal... more>> with the MC given the chance. However the moment they don't do it are explicity stated that they are, either afraid of the forces behind the MC if they go too far, or afraid of 3rd party that is upholding some fairness in the conflict. Still they are willing to lose face as long it mean killing the MC quick enough, and that is refreshing. (At least in the first arc, I don't know going forward).

Another good point is that his cheat is not as broken as others MCs out there, you wouldn't see him fighting 2 full realms above him for example, but as the story progress he acumulate advantages that make more sense than simple give him a beserk button that let him fighting above his level. (Not that It will not become that later on)

This novel really, suffer from "idiotic youngmaster" and "complete contrived antagonism" syndrome that plague xianxia. 95% of the villains are that level of petty. For whoever doesn't know is:

Spoiler

The MC can be walking in the street that he will stumble upon one ret*rd young master that thought that his hair was too black and tried to humilate for no reason and the handful of times the MC try to backdown it goes nonwhere, so the MC is always buttheading with people alot stronger than him with open face. Or the MC kick the ass of any random dude and just so happen he had powerful backing/clan/granpa that will escalate the situation into a blood feud for no reason.

[collapse]

Some more specific problems:
Spoiler

The plot itself is very railroad, the MC seen to make no decision for himself he just follow whatever someone else lay out for him. In fact go the empire to seek revenge is idiotic as it was clear that his enemies that crippled him would be there and would supress him the moment they discover he is alive.
Meanwhile, after he leave the blood camp he gain very little in remaing in the country beside a laundry list of youngmaster trying to kill him, when is clear there wasn't time limit to go there. So we have to wait the next event to pop up.

The writing also suffer from popcorn crowd to pad for lenght as it goes to the useless opinions of the bystanders about the events that just happened or they agreeing with the villain remarks or awed by MC awesomeness.

I get annoyed with the MC some times he show glimpse of intelligence, others he is seen just as idiotic as the youngmasters causing confusion for no reason. Some times the MC is

I also find the plot with the 6 year old fairy (at the start) and the deus exmachina turtle palace (mid point of the first arc) giving him treasures for no reason, poorly implemented. The same goes for why his master and everyone else would be pouposely mysterious as nothing that was revelead until now couldn't be something already know to him from chapter 1.

I am enjoying the novel so far, though it's more interesting in the starting and then gets kind of repetitive.

What I don't like though is that the MC just kills everybody, like everybody who comes into conflict with him. Sure, those people try to suppress him first, and there will be many characters who will stop the progress but in this book universe, except for a very very few people, MC takes on enmity with everyone around him, be it a big and small power, and directly just kills people.... more>> It seems those young masters are all also purely s*upid and greedy, no one backs off when it's obvious they can't win, all either due to jealousy or greed. How did they ever reach this position! Also, there are no righteous people to stand up for him and yet he slips though their fingers boldly. Too OP

Spoiler

But worse is around ch 970 when MC kills off a servant after torturing him to get info of a treasure with the explanation that if he is left alive, this will become a hidden danger for future.

[collapse]
What is difference between MC and villains then!! They are using the same reasoning to attack MC <<less

I've updated my review. The translation quality greatly improves after the first ~40 chapters. If you can hang in there until then, you're golden. I'm bumping my review from 2 stars to 3 stars. If they could fix those first chapters, I'd change it to 4 stars.

Original review below:

Story is fine, nothing special. Pretty typical cultivation novel. But the translation quality is frustrating. Most of the translation is good, with correct grammar and good sentence structure. But it's also sprinkled with odd mistakes. Stuff like "mystiques" instead of "mysteries", or... more>> "ravished" instead of "enraged". And sometimes, you'll get some garbled nonsense.

Example:

Little did Lian Rufeng thought that Lin Xun seemed not be aware at all, neither eluding nor stopping his chasing on one of the guardians.

You know what the author is trying to say from context, it just takes some effort. I kept reading for a while, hoping the translation would improve, but I finally gave up.

If you enjoy a little extra work with your reading, then go ahead. Otherwise, there are plenty of similar novels on this site with excellent translations. Pick one of them instead. <<less

I ignored the improper comments about the little girl (5-6) being a peerless beauty as at the very least she was treated as kid for the most part and not sexulised by the MC.

I even ignored the plot holes including how he could suddenly hunt and use a sword with no previous training, or how the rune master in the prison saved him twice, sacrificing his life, gave him treasures for no plausible reason.

I also ignored the fact that he was so OP that he could create aeth weapons perfectly... more>> every time with no prior training and was the first person in the world to be able to do so as an apprentice.

I ignored when he not only cultivated quickly due to a convenient 'omega dimension' but also was as strong as people 2 cultivation levels above him and could defeat opponents 3 cultivation levels above him and achieved this after only 2 -6 months of cultivating alone.

But now suddenly this 13 year old is not only pervy, but also has grown women flirting with him and whole chapters repeatedly describing women's body parts and how sexy they are... what is this suddenly a p*rn novel?

This is like the webnovel with the 'Milk baby' were a perfectly ok read turns into a child lusting over grown women and having harems.

I dont know if the readership goes up when they do this, but it honestly so annoying, if dropped so many webnovels because of how nauseating this troupe gets. <<less

MC is supposed to have stayed in a mine and never seen a village or other people aside from the other s*aves. He was a rune master apprentice during this time, yet, after only a few chapters, in the first village he finds, he already knows how to use a sword, a bow, how to fight better than an experienced village hunter/bandit...

The MC of course unlocks his goldenfinger very early, just by spreading some of his blood on an object,... very original. Worse, the MC had something stolen from him... more>> at birth, you know the one in a million "spiritual roots" that only geniuses are born with, fine it happens sometimes in wuxia novel (Meng Hao if you read this...), but soon and very early, he manages to be able to cultivate normally and is somehow cured from his deficiency... all of this after using his cheat once by just solving a puzzle... seriously?

If you have already read a few xuanhuan/xianxia novels, skip this one, the first chapters are full of plot holes and nonsense. <<less

I had a fun time reading this novel. A lot of repetitive stuff though. This novel as the name suggests is all about battles. MC is very ruthless in this one. MC is more like Long Chen from NSHBA without the harem.

... more>>
Spoiler

Pros and Cons (Depends on the person reading)

1. MC gets more and more arrogant as the story progresses.

2. A lot of arrogant young masters..... (when I say a lot I mean a lot).

3. At around chapter 1800.. the MC is just too strong... all battles with people in his same realm feel like a formality.

4. MC does not hide his identity.... and this is something I liked.

5. He becomes famous and even gets the nickname 'Lin Demon God'.... but sadly around chapter 1700 he starts being low key because I guess the author got tired of writung the same things repetitively.

[collapse]

Overall I would say I enjoyed reading this novel <<less

The MC is very interesting, very capable, and talent in casting sword. He wants to change life and finds the mystery of his life, so he tries to become stronger and stronger. I guess Lin Xun is the descendent of a powerful family. I can’t wait to see if the novel lives up to my expectations, I will be back to update this review in the future.

Although the premise is an imaginary xuanhuan world, it also reflects reality, etc the conflicts between the noble and the lower. Lin Xun is going to face a crisis. But as the MC, I believe he can go through it successfully. It is just an episode of his legendary life. I must say that the plot is attracting. When I read it, I can’t stop.

This story is good, but the plot drags to some extent. The author has laid all kinds of riddles, but hasn’t begun to give any answer in the 100th chapter. The progress is too slow. But I have not decided to drop it since I want to see who is the evil manipulator exactly...

What annoys me in this series, is the author doing a huge propaganda of the strength of the MC and the same is useless that lets everyone escape from him, and always needs treasures and external things to be strong. The story barely shows the MC cultivating and improving on his own. There always has to be a treasure or something external to make him stronger. These two things piss me off to the core about this story.

Firstly, I feel this book has many wuxia factors. But as I read on, I think it is more like “Game of Thrones”. It has an epic premise.
