I enjoyed the story for the most part through the Saint world and immortal world, though there were ups and downs, but the story took a definite nose-dive after JC reached the divine world (3rd tier realm). He's basically stopped using most of his old stuff aside from spamming the dragon moves, he "feels something wrong" and doesn't use his divination/future reading technique anymore (from immortal world, was extremely useful for him). One of his newest spam techniques is fusing heaven thunder into a bomb to try and wreck everything, and every time he uses it people go "there's no way he can use it" etc. Add in all the other complaints from other people giving poor reviews and you get a picture of the divine world arcs.

I stopped at 3100 because I got tired of the author just making almost everything go wrong for JC for "drama" or whatever reason he has, and he's actually noted the story is less popular recently which as some of the commenters put-people usually don't enjoy reading about a character they like continually getting crapped on for stupid reasons or no reason at all, and for most of his work to keep getting undone-see friends and allies keep vanishing/getting possessed/kidnapped

JC basically gets shoehorned repeatedly into being against just about *everyone* in the local region, often times for reasons that are utterly absurd, and he keeps losing his allies/friends/wives that either wander off (best outcome) or are possessed/kidnapped/betray him for the umpteenth time-the 3rd wife of his Qingcheng (beautiful woman) -that's how the lmntl pages keep calling her and I saw someone make a quip of "Qingcheng (useless woman) " and it's fitting-she has been possessed and attacked him at this point no less than 5 times, including getting cured and then repossessed by something else shortly afterwards. There was one point where he reunited with QC and Wu Ningzhu (badly injured from... something) and actually stayed together with them and the monkey he became friends with even after the arc ended and they were moving on. I had snarked at the end I was surprised he still had anyone around. Cue 3 chapters later-monkey wanders off to train, QC gets possessed yet again and runs off after taking a few pot shots at JC, Wu Ningzhu gets kidnapped by.... someone and JC is chasing after her before a****** #8945894 comes out of nowhere to attack him a few times and block him long enough for Wu Ningzhu's kidnapper to get away, and JC is once more by himself. He's also spent quite a few chapters just being attacked in succession by endless morons from random regions.

JC now has the habit often going extremely far to get treasures that he himself needs before a friend pops up with an injury or just wanting it, and he'll give them the best stuff that he himself also needs. It's nice that he cares and helps his friends/family, but he goes too far with it to the point where it hinders his own progress.

JC's also developed the bad habit of being exceedingly/stupidly forgiving of even random women that backstab him and either let's the go for whatever reason or actually helps them even after they tried killing him. The one woman who he *should* be friends with or stay around more though he's left behind in some random sect somewhere before he left, and he's run into other women he's come into conflict with many times repeatedly and at least one time helped save one woman's clan from outside invaders before leaving-though at least in that case he was more helping the woman's sister that he didn't know was related, and the sister was a cool character (widow with kid, so off limits to JC) that was sane and reasonable.

All of this aside the *single worst part* of the story for me was the arc where the new cockroach Xuanyuan Canglan is introduced (Nanbei Chao is finished off near end of immortal world, JC lets him survive in a new reincarnation after wiping his memories, and it's implied that NBC will pop up again at some point as an ally to JC since they were noted as being similar and if they weren't enemies from the start, they would have been good friends). Canglan is the epitome of all that is wrong with this novel-a****** who should have died 1000 chapters ago, keeps getting bailed out by diabolus ex machinas and absolutely STUPID "allies", keeps showing up just to harass JC and complicate things and escaping barely while swearing "I'll get you if it's the last thing I do -Gadget- Jiang Chen!", and adds nothing to the story but sure takes a lot away from it. During his initial arc Canglan was big evil mastermind of the area and had set up what was apparently 10x reincarnations over 70k years to resurrect "some big demon thing" that ended up being the Taotie so he could get power. Lots of plotting, arrogance, murder, etc. and JC meets a "friendly enemy" from the same group as Canglan that ends up being a pig teammate and getting Canglan to gun after JC for his treasures after JC saved the friend since the friend is nice but Canglan is a greedy a******, who teaches the "friend" the lesson of "what I want, I get, cause I'm stronger than them" and the friend is sad but accepts it-this also comes up later when JC is off doing other things while the other groups of people are being attacked by monster hordes and the friend+canglan could save JC's friends, but Canglan says to leave them to die and just steal their stuff-the "friend" accepts this too even though he is "sad" about it. Towards the end of the arc where everything is going sideways and most of the people are dead, the Taotie appears, starts killing everyone and backstabs Canglan, before JC appears and saves everyone, including killing the Taotie. Cue Canglan pulling out magic plot BS #434 and absorbing the now near-dead Taotie and getting a big power boost and then he goes on to try and eat everyone. JC saves the day yet again and destroys the physical body of Canglan/taotie and is about to finish Canglan off (actual permanent killing him, not just "he's dead but not really" like NBC before) before... out pops "friend"! To... save Canglan! Despite knowing Canglan is evil and against him, and was planning on killing him too, "friend"/pig teammate blocks JC's lethal blow and Canglan then backstabs him and absorbs him while "friend" asks JC to let Canglan off despite knowing all of Canglan's crimes... and that Canglan even literally backstabbed and murdered him to try and get stronger and get away. Cue JC being angry at Canglan backstabbing his ally and trying to kill him again before the sealed world they're in goes to hell and Canglan gets to get away alive. This would be bad enough, but tolerable since it isn't the first cockroach around to escape. No, what makes *this* the worst part in the entire story is after Canglan gets saved repeatedly by bulls*** so he can get away to harass again another day, he pulls some mass brainwash move out of his ass so that everyone thinks JC was the evil b******* who was killing everyone and that Canglan was the hero. This came out of *nowhere*, was never hinted at or mentioned or used again, and happened *just* so JC would be forced to be hated by everyone again when he seriously deserved to at least get either some recognition or at least *not* be a manhunt target for once. This ends up with the *entire* province wanting him dead because of his "crimes" that they used as justification to attack him and when he killed those that attacked him, that led to more people trying to hunt him down as revenge for that. He is of course forced to abandon the sect he was in so they didn't get brought down too, and then had to go on the run *once again*. As far as I know, Canglan is still alive and pops up from time to time just to be a pain in the ass-he is even worse than NBC.

At this point I'm waiting for JC to find and reunite with Chenyu again (ice girl he met first) and actually *keep* her around rather than having her run off, backstab him, or get possessed. Or for the story to end and just read recaps of the remaining chapters to see what happened afterwards

1. The ugly girl who has a good heart (she cried seeing her supposed husband dead) is considered 'not only an eating machine but also there is something wrong with her mind' like wow so if she's not pretty then she can't even feel sad? And then MC saw the incredibly pretty girl his heart immediately moved and he felt sad seeing her sad, like just seconds after they just met. Regarding judge people by appearances, MC is not so different from those villains and side characters (who also judge him from his appearance).

2. Past MC was a cultivation maniac with no love whatsoever now he saw the pretty girl and fell for her right away, to justify it author dropped a line 'now this life he wanted a normal life'. Umm please take a good look back and tell me what's normal about anything you've done so far.

3. Formulaic 'get OP magical pet and heavenly OP beauty' before the real adventure.

4. Rinse and repeat nonsensical offended enemies who conveniently throw themselves at MC for the tiniest trivial (or none at all) reason just to be turned into blood and gore.

5. Passerbys, watchers and villains blabber long and nonstop how MC is too reckless arrogant fated to doom (even monsters mock him with their eyes orz) then after he wins they either praise him or regard him as genius/demon with charisma. Everyone blabbers the exact same thing over and over and over. Also too much 'you dare to hurt/kill me?' and then 'please don't kill me' 'u can't kill me'.

6. Treasures fall a little too conveniently into MC's party. They are tailored for his party members to lv up like waaay up up and exist in wherever MC goes when they actually don't have any reason to be there at all.

Main character's girl gets attacked at his sect after making friends with the sect leader and another dude, but instead showing gratitude they both f**k off on cultivating at the same time to allow the kid villain of the arc to basically try to rape her, so she ends up near death... and the sect leader doesn't punish anybody for this when he comes, doesn't give a f**k. It's all a convenient plot point because the author lacks the creativity to write for the female character so he drafted one of the two lazy excuses used for the female love interest to go away: they need some miracle medicine in a coma, or they are just phased out because they can't compare to the power level. And this most recent chapter? 278, with the Flood Dragon. In what f**king world does it make sense that the protagonist somehow thinks its a good idea to let the newly transformed Flood Dragon go? He has no qualm mass murdering random demons to eat their cores, and by essentially taking this Flood Dragon's blood essence, it's like the mortal equivalent of taking someone's cultivation away (which is considered worse than killing them) all for this arbitrary excuse of "we're both fighting against the heavens", which is just bullsh*t. The author just didn't want the protagonist to get a power jump too high so he made this bullsh*t excuse.

a divine beast talking dog-like creature that apparently has Dragon Horse bloodlines?

MC reincarnates and in 3 days goes from lvl 1 basic sh*t to lvl 8 basic sh*t that can even defeat lvl 1 of the slightly better than basic sh*t realm.

To that, there's also basically no description at all to any characters - besides an ugly girl that is so poorly narrated that I only thought of her as troll rather than a human.

Also, MC makes a bet with a random young master and the wage is that if young master refuses to fulfill the bet (carry a casket home), then that would be admitting his whole family was "bastard".

Novel makes absolutely no sense and not even in my wildest dreams would I imagine that this novel got a 4.3 score on NU.
I mean, I don't even think it deserves a 3.

This novel is on par with CCM. Hell, I managed to read even more of CCM (200s). At least the premise was interesting.
