Started a little interesting, but it gets really dumb really quick. So the premise is that our MC is a villain going up against the original story's hero. And that the hero is protected by super plot armor. The MC knowing he can't kill the hero outright plans to basically strip the hero of all the things that made him formidable in the original story. I'm onboard... but the problem is, the original story makes no sense. The original hero is an absolute piece of garbage. Like, there's no way... more>> any sane person would buy that guy being the hero of the original version of the story. He's a selfish conniving petty punk who immediately abandons anyone not useful to him. And our MC has no reason to act like a villain. Everyone with half a brain should be able to tell what kind of person the original hero is. But they try to explain it away with divine intervention. But for some reason the MC just has to point out the obvious and other characters suddenly become capable of seeing just how terrible the old hero is.

Also, the author goes out of their way to explain that the old hero is a harem protagonist and women just fall for him immediately and inexplicably, as if they have no control over their lives. But then isn't above destroying those women and looking down on them as if it's their fault they've fallen for him, which gives this some real weird incel vibes. Like the old hero takes advantage of women and then the MC comes along and blames the women for being taken advantage of. It's kinda gross. <<less

Not your usual villain? But your ordinary chinese protagonist, which for the 100000th time reincarnates as sect leader and have harem... Start of the novel is truly convenient for MC and opposing characters are conveniently disgusting, in order to make you feel good that MC punished them. But the way it portrayed is simply childish

Anyway... You might ejoy this novel, if you like strong protag which face slaps and knows EVERYTHING. I also can commend translator for some explanations at the bottom, for some terms. But this novel simply that... more>> bad

But it's just your usual xinxia or xuanhuan novel, with people lacking IQ, jade beauties and etc. Writing isn't great and characters are one dimensional. I dont even talk about plot incosistency, with MC remembering traitorous disciple who still posses ultimate bone, killing him and yada yada, but later it was told that bone would go to "original protag". Absolutely won't recommend it <<less
