There is some romance, but it appears pretty late in the novel, and honestly even tho he has a harem his main wife is the only one that matters, as the others are too weak.

Typical "We need to have s*x to save you" moment. They eventually have a kid and fall in love after that. This is not a romance novels so honestly who gives a damn.

After The prince sent an assassin to kill MC. What did MC do? He let the prince go, since MC doesn't want to have a conflict against the prince country. I call that BULLSH*T! MC just destroyed 5 freaking Kingdoms! And he was afraid with one kingdom. The hell was the author thinking, He could have just given the prince a beating before letting him go! To much! I have enough with this whimsical author!

To hell with MC disappointing the princess who waited for him for years just for MC to annul there marriage! The reason? MC is afraid since he has to many enemies! Still afraid after he can destroy kingdoms! And has the backing of a major Empire not to mention the two saint ruler who is MC's friend!
And how can I forgot to mention MC is beyond OP already! Still afraid? Seriously! Go jump on a cliff or something! After you killed lots of lots of people! Still afraid? Its not MC fault its the author way of writing!

Now the MC is rather generic in reincarnation standards. He's reincarnated, so he's obviously smarter than usual, but he has no qualms about showing how smart he is. He shows off his language and walking skills early and luckily gets no repercussions. Everyone is joyful about the genius.

And then there is where the author goes all confusing on the plot. For some inexplicable reason, the author decided to make the MC a tr*sh character. The MC is viewed as a cripple and the respect he has in his household plummets. Not an uncommon theme. What is uncommon is for the author to turn around and make the MC normal/genius after only a couple chapters. He then proceeds to skip the MC's childhood completely and then move on to the school arc. Very lacklustre.

At the school, even though everyone is at least 16+, everyone seems to act like the standard 12-year-old bully. Nothing about the characters makes me assume they have maturity unless they get into a fight, the fight being instigated because of some childish Xianxia-like attitude of disrespect for strangers you look down upon.

So he has a female companion who fell in love with him. She then confessed to him however he refused her and said we can only be friends. Then she died protecting him. An expert I believe two entire realms and a few stages above him had killed her. This expert chased the two of them across the galaxy and finally caught them and killed her. So after this, Jian Chen went literally mad. He stopped running after he escaped and waited for that expert, despite knowing he was going to be killed 100%, or his secrets exposed which is far worse than death since everyone related to him will also die. Despite all this it is said he wanted to die after she sacrificed herself for him. Forgetting his entire family and friends. But that’s all okay his reckless and s*upid and despite 2500 chapters passing he had not changed.

Soon he finds out that someone killed that expert who killed his friend. He is still mad so he finds out which faction he belongs to. Why? Because he wants to bathe them in blood for something only one rogue elder did. Despite knowing that they knew nothing of his actions he decided to destroy that dead old mans sect. On his way there he finds a small girl begging for him to buy her map. He buys it and not only that he gives her treasures for no reason other than she is a beautiful girl who is begging. Now this girl happens to get kidnapped in front of him by the richest young master in the city. The girl doesn’t want to go so Jian Chen being the “merciful kind” guy he is saved her and takes care of this young master.

Now all I wanted to show is his hypocrisy. The old man died he had no where to direct his rage so he goes for his children and disciples. A random girl passes by he risks his life to save her because he doesn’t want innocents being ruined. Wtf is this hypocrisy tho? Is it that females are more worthy to be spared then men? The spectrum of innocence depends on the s*x of the person? This character is foolish tbh and hasn’t learnt his lessons.

The Huang Lu chick or whatever her name is I forgot it. He accidentally saw her naked and she wants to kill him or take his eyes out. That's okay and normal for girls in these type of novels. Then she can't kill him due to incompetence so she orders her old protectors to kill him. They who are from the older generation use their full force to attack him pretty much sentencing him to death then and there. In their minds this man is dead and If he is alive he will be a crippled and will soon be eaten by monster beasts since they are out in the wilderness. Anyways he survives because his MC but he received huge damage and near death. Fast forward a few years. He finds her during a tournament and she randomly attacks him and injures him, mind you this is without warning. So she attacked after she realised it was him. He then being the beta male he is says I thought we were done with that matter. Then they proceed to fight while he merely defends himself against this woman, even though he is strong enough to fight her properly. So now she realises she can't handle him properly which angers her so she uses her ultimate attack. This leads to her enemies who were searching for her to find her. Mind you her clan and her enemies have a blood feud so MC shouldn't be getting involved. The woman who tried to kill him multiple times realises she most likely will die here so she goes "hey scoundrel we will write off our differences if you help me kill them. Now instead of taking the opportunity to kill her or injure her when her enemies arrived (despite them pretty much saving him because it was possible to lose to her) he decided to save her life. Let's get this straight she is a beauty, she tried to kill him personally multiple times, she ordered his death, She begs him for help in a rude manner. What does a proud genius do? Of course he forgets the blood debts with her and saves her life. All because she has a pu*sy and tits. Then later on they travel together while she is still a bit*h and not once says thanks. Even when he asks her for help she says who are you to order me around. Then he gets angry then they continue to travel together. He somehow falls in love with her despite not once saying he has a good impression of her except her beauty. Lmao what a sick joke. This is the number one thing I hate from this novel.

The Huang chick in the early chapters. She tried to kill him and then got her elders to try to kill jIang chen. If she was a male, or even an ugly girl or a slutty one. He would have killed her and uprooted her family. Thats the type of person he is, he respects his inner feelings or I should say lust. That Huang chick tried to kill him yet he saved her and offended powerful opponents for her sake. WHat a LOL. You think thats the worst. Two princesses from the upper realms that are sisters tried repeatedly to kill Jiang Chen. They even told their royal father to kill him and they wont be at peace. But regardless of this one day their empire is attacked by a power that Jiang Chens backing, yes his backing doesnt dare to offend. But I quote "“Senior Tianshuang, you don’t have to worry. Princess Xing’er and Princess Lan’er are old friends. No matter what, I won’t just watch as they fall into a demons hands. The Justice Alliance and the Four Symbols Alliance don’t dare to offend them, but that doesn’t mean that I, Jian Chen, don’t dare. So basically the two girls that tried to kill him are now old friends and he will risk him and his families lives to save them. Yes he is an absolute ret*rd. First they wont friends but basically enemies. IF he didnt have a powerful backing he would have died because of those princesses. Next he risks life nd limb for them even though her own fiancees abandoned them.

the MC has his cultivation destroyed and becomes a mage
