tbh, I kinda love him. he literally lives for the sake of killing his 'wife' and has pulled through with only spite and vengeance.

he awakens a power through hatred and wanting everything in the world to feel the same pain he does. relatable. I feel like many die, rebirth stories have the main character be too chill about their deaths, often thinking about the next reset like deciding breakfast cereals. FX also thinks of his rebirth as a solution, but doesn't like turning to it much unless it's inevitable.

zhao hao is a hoot. his power is basically wet dreams? spectres are scared of his horniness hahahaha

also, the title in chinese is really... how should I put this, op MC harem-esque.

NVM MC IS CRAZY IGNORE WHAT I SAID ABOUT PRESERVING HIS LIFE

"Yug review is nonsensical. Shen Lingxue since beforehand has been recognized as a superior female character to the group during the village arc, she helped stall for time against the ghost, was useful against controlled enemies, followed the MC instructions and silently choose to let him take the leadership away from her in recognition of his greater capabilities, despite being arrogant and moody due to the way spiritual powers works in this series. But yeah sure, that's not a positive depiction dude, the author is such an incel amiright?

It's very, very funny. You'll see the MC literally torturing one of his enemies (who is a male character btw) teared to pieces and throw into a meat grinder to be feed to the dogs and no issue is raised with it. But when a female turns into the enemy and gets the same treatment he's now a incel? Stfu." - Noobao

She was but that was a small part of the larger female cast where just about every psychic female is depicted more negatively than their male counterparts. What supports Yugmandor's review is chapter 94-95 where the author just started putting his power fantasy and changing the MC to torture Shen Lingxue.

The main problem is with Shen Lingxue as all the female enemies that the MC tortured or killed is fine. But this was not fine. He became more edgy and out of character cause Shen Lingxue started blaming him and being annoying. Before Blackwater and even during blackwater the MC would have just knocked her out before not giving a f*ck with what she did as she wasn't even being an enemy just annoying. But during this chapter he started torturing her treating her like a specter and even said that weird worship shit. It was obvious those chapters were the author's disguised venting chapters.

This quote from the MC supports my complaint "From today, you will worship me as a god!". No way he would say this sh*t even to his enemies, especially with what she did. The way the chapter happened was pure frustration from the author even the translator thought so.

Him being mad at that silver haired enemy for reminding him of his wife and so torturing her and killing her fits with his character

Insofar there were 2 female psychics who were show as villains, first it was one who lacked retrospective and was lonely, and thus wanted a friend to stay with her forever and accidentally drove her to death, causing her to be possessed by an specter and causing a genocide to those who she believed to be responsible. The second one was literally mind-broken by abusers which justified her bad personality. All female villainous characters had a small and quick reason to be as bad as they were and imo they weren't even that bad, compare this to Lin ziyang who was a psychotic serial killer that tortures people and feeds them to dogs... Because? You didn't even provide examples of how bad they're depicted compared to the male villains of the franchise, heck, if we compare the good guys side. Shen is better depicted than the other male psychics, the fatass was a useless pe*vert whose only utility was letting blood flow to activate an item because he was useless, and the MC friend is an annoying pe*vert 99% of the time that can't stop being h**ny because that's his character.

Also you're very, very clearly having a fundamental misunderstanding of MC character, the novel didn't do a good work of showing who he truly is early on because his madness was limited to his enemies, which made his actions give the impression that he's rational, but no, he isn't; he is very much crazy, insane, petty and trigger happy (remember, he was willing to kill that young master before he did anything to him because he was talking mad sh*t and was implying MC doesn't know about specters or how frightening they are at all, he 100% meant it) this aspect of the MC will be very apparent and clear the more you read the novel. You're only saying his actions don't make sense for him because you've finished chapter 96 fresh, read more.

People are unhappy because Shen Lingxue situation at chapter 94-96 kinda came out of nowhere due to the author poor planning, lack of foreshadowing and because she truly, didn't deserve anything that happened to her. She was made into a scapegoat to showcase the MC madness.

Can someone who just vented at a relative death deserve to be reminded of her hypothetical failures and lose them again, again, and again and be tortured with the guilt? They clearly don't.

The problem? She vented to the wrong person, yeah underachiever, go and say to the person that got tortured, maimed and disemboweled multiple times by specters that it's his fault innocent people died and that he should have tried better as if he's not putting any effort at all on his job even after he just had to die multiple times, just after he completed a major mission. Surely this very sane person with common sense won't retaliate right?

MC action was completely in-character, what is at fault is the author amateur writing, he lacked exposition for this part of MC's personality which made his actions during 94-96 seem like it came out of nowhere, it was a very poor way to do an exposition of this side of the MC's character..

That's all.

As for the comments about how the MC is edgy and misogynistic and whatnot, they truly lack empathy for the MC and only about their emotions being hurt. He was never attacked while in a room or chilling but only in his freakin bathroom with his pants down, and he ended up being torn from limb to limb therefore the last thing on his mind is caring about women and their feelings. Add to the that the fact that he has to avoid eye contact with these monstrosities every waking moment of his life, which gives him no time to heal and reflect. It’s almost like torture p*rn if you think about it.
