Ch 100+ 4/5

it's true that MC is a common villain in the first life, but in the second life is a protagonist. Xu Zumo or Chu Yang are both children of fate, one cheats on reincarnation, and the other cheats on the ring grandpa. MC said he wanted to be a player, but all he did was choose an "alternative route", and he's still a "child of destiny", what's different is that back then he was just a random pawn and now he's the "king" like Chu Yang on the... more>> chessboard, and players are still "destiny".

I don't like his decision, he let chu live and thrive, even though if he kills him he can get out of that s*upid vortex of destiny. And his cultivation is also strange, no matter how fast MC cultivates, somehow other people can always catch up to him, even though what he can be proud of in his second life is cultivation speed and future knowledge.

and also there is no butterfly effect in this novel, even if there is it might be very small. No matter how much MC makes a difference, the story always stays on track. The concept of causation revolves only around MC, and only applies to others when the plot requires it.

cannot control his emotions when it comes to his family, especially when there are problems with his love. Recommended, just not my preferred type. <<less

Very interesting so far. It's interesting how the MC is not from some backwater country but instead in one of the strongest sects. Will continue to follow.

Really one of the best of it's kind in my opinion. In many ways it has really surpassed the expectations I have for this genre of books. Most of the cliches of course are all there, but they are all handled in a very good way. There is a great attention on detail and a lot of times we see things from the perspective of other characters, which often have their own mini story arc. Usually I am not a huge fan of this in most books but thus far this has been done in a way that further enhances the story. We have seen set ups for plots hundreds of chapters ahead in the story, something that really indicates that the author has most of the story already made up ahead of time. It really also shows in the good quality of the writing. Everything so far has been great, and I am actually quite excited for what has been foreshadowed but has yet to come. If you like this genre of books this is definitely a must read.

It is a really good cultivation novel. If you can get through The mtl then it is definitely worth a read. Unlike the other cultivation novels that become extremely repetitive and boring in the latter parts I found myself enjoying a lot of the latest arcs way more. There are small hints of harem but until now MC has stayed true to one girl who he liked in his past life. Every other girl was straight up rejected.
Spoiler

The best part for me was that the continent that he created as his true fate.

I was surprised how much I liked it, as when I read the summary for the first time, it didn't seemed that big of a deal to me, like sure, yeah, the idea of the work was comparatively new (at least the only thing that I knew of which was like this was Hystory's Strongest Senior Brother) but judging from the cover (which was just using the Dishonored 2's artwork) and the overall vibes I got from it, to me it seemed like a boring poorly executed novel.

It... more>> is nowhere perfect and revolutionary as it also got it's fair share of cliche and problems and because it is not translated I had to read from MTL (which is barely acceptable at best) I couldn't enjoy it to its fullest unfortunately.

But so far as im reading it got new ideas and was considerably enjoyable and I believe if you can read Chinese (how I wish I could) , can deal with MTL or have the patience to wait until somebody pick this up and hopefully do an acceptable job, I can surely recommend this as of the chapter that im reading it worth picking up and its better than most generic xianxia novels. <<less

I like this story, but it does suffer from a bunch of bloat. The core premise seems to be 1. Revenge 2. Get stronger 3. Dominate. In that aspect, this story is a great read. I look forward to see what happens when certain goals are met- what happens after he becomes the Saint or what is this Heavens Mantle or what happens after he ascends?

The problem comes from the bloat of getting stronger- you have to read “You dare offend my sect” “Can we not make amends” “Get the... more>> ancestors out” “I’m sorry, please spare me” cycle 1000x. It’s actually ridiculous how many times this happens. The story wants to go fast but the gears are stuck at second.

The bigger issue is why I’m reviewing it 1000 chapters in rather than 2000 chapters in. The pay off for getting stronger- or the big plot moments, are only fulfilling half the time. Destroying everyone over and over loses its luster when the rewards are just to do it over and over again. And that’s like 70% of the novel.

A minor issue is the soft resets- at one point he goes to another world and later he ascends to the outer heaven realm. Each of those starts feel like you are reading the same story over again- op character hides his secrets until he dominates everything again. Each time he’s dropped into a decent spot in the sect. Each time he deals with the same sect drama. It feels meaningless because really, you are just waiting for him to tear the place up again.

I do really enjoy his over arching revenge plots, and that’s why I keep reading. He wants to get revenge on the protagonists woman- well turns out she has strong backing. Like by messing with her he pisses off his sects powerful ancestors, and those people are only doing what they are told by a previous godlike emperor of his sect whose already ascended. And yeah he pisses that person off too.

Right now, the story is he’s made all these godlike figures mad and they couldn’t touch him due to the fact he was in the mortal world- and now he’s just ascended. Will it be more utter domination? Probably. But if not, this story could pop off.

3/5, could be a 4/5 if there was a wiki to help skip the bloat. <<less

=>The "lucky protagonists" of the xianxia or etc. can be used for some god complex ones goal and "the grandfathers in the ring" can be some bullshitting arrogant old ■♤■ (i wanna write bad things to them where the ■♤■ symbol stays because who the hell give them choice someone and make it strong enought to seem invincible against their peers. Why the one you meet must be it and the others must pray him/her or see him/her as a mount tai [mount tai lol]) .

Old storys protagonist Chu Yang's very big harems one character is Baili Xiao. She pretend love Xu Zimo because he is their sects temporary heads son and if he loves her he can help her while she gain enough power to go back her lovely "brother Chu Yang" (it is a form of adress)............. Let's return to the subject of Xu Zimo, the main character of the current story. son of the temporary head of his order (sect ?) . Because his father was strong, he was treated well by his environment for their personal interests. Naturally, Xu Zimo grew up as a spoiled person and doesn't work very hard at cultivate

but one day A beautiful girl from a poor village comes to the cult (sect ?) where his father is temporary head. Girl inherits special abilities from the sects one ancestor. She pretends to have a romantic relationship with him. Xu Zimo helping the girl get stronger and they engaged. The girl still doesn't get too close no matter how hard he tries, but she always gives hope when he's about to give up. Xu Zimo discovers that the girl has a romantic relationship with a boy from the village where she came from when she has a fiance (Chu Yang is that boy lol) . Could the girl not be too close to her fiance because of the boy from the home village when she has a romantic interest in himself ? Of course he being jealous. He sends a few people to the village to beat the boy and tell him stay away from the girl. Just because he's a man from the village Xu zimo doesn't care about the rest and don't send others for beat the boy again.

I love the arc when Xu Zimo fight against the Chu Yang at the tournament. I love this arc because of the humans reactions, causes and consequences. While read it maybe you can love this consequences too. <<less

It's not unreadable, and some parts are pretty funny... it's good enough that I read to here, but I've lost interest.

As usual, it was great at first. Comedy was funny, plot mostly made sense, and you enjoy him basically just going around being a dick. It then got pretty repetitive, but that's normal for Chinese novels so I would keep reading... the biggest problem is how the world entirely revolves around MC.

Being lucky to some point is whatever, but this guy seriously can't go 2 steps without tripping on some... more>> amazing artifact that's been hidden for millions of years. He constantly comes across random events at the perfect time to get what he wants, without fail. It would be whatever if he used his future knowledge and planned for it... but no, he just stumbles onto it all coincidentally. Ffs, can't he take a nap without waking up in a hidden refuge of an extinct race???

There are many other things I have a problem with (romance is another big one), so I'm honestly torn between 2 and 3... if I end up leaving it at 3, it's just because the "evil protagonist" tag is too rare. <<less
