Mortal realm arc was fine. Then the MC power-ups. Then he can kill anyone half a realm over his. And from there on, it all goes downhill. MC has power-ups that can't be explained.

There is more points that make the story even less believable and make it seem like the dream of an 8th grader but oh well...

Update as of chapter 2931: the MC lost the last bit of his brain since the start of the "Huang Shuai" arc. Wherever he goes he says "become my servant or die", or just kills everyone. That happens in loops. No character development, no introspection, no thoughts.

Doesn't he ever think of his relatives? Not even one mention of them even though he left everyone that was close to him hundreds of years ago. Guess the author was "lazy".

At this moment I am utterly speechless at how low this novel is able to go down to. The current arc is probably the worst I ever read, all xianxias/xuanhuans included. I would rather see the author draw a quick end to the story than let it drag on for hundreds of chapters without an end.

If I had to draw an analogy, I would say that this novel is like a classic mobile rpg game. Every day you get some resources (two chapters) to power up your character (Huang Xiaolong), and that's the end, there is no story, no explanation, no reason.

I would give it 0 stars if I could.

The author relized his cultivation speed was to fast and needed to slow it down and get more word count. The MC trains for half a month and is still rank 2. He says it will take a month and a half just for him to reach the peak of rank 2. WTF IS THIS BS GOING ON! How did his speed slow down so much. Wont it take countess years just to reach rank 9 if it keeps going up like that? The MC meets a super rare monkey while training in his backyard. The monkey takes him to some treasure that helps him lvl up. The MC should have already leveled up by that time anyway and it made the treasure feel pointless. It was also surounded by countless bones and pure yin. The MC said it had been there for countless years. This treasure was a half hour jog away from his house! How did his clan never find it! They have been there for 40 years and have a ton of members! The whole thing was just to give the MC some treasure. It felt super random and cringeworthy. Stuff like this goes on forever!

So, having come up to date with the novel (at the current released chapters 2359 as of now) and seeing no one else having made a review with this many chapters i'll do one and try to keep it as spoiler free as possible.

So this novel as many others have mentioned is quite typical, but what wins it for me is that atleast it keeps some of the fantasy which I believe is the charm that I like in CN (xianxia) novels. Also as you read it you see that it takes some aspects from other novels, or copies if you'd like - the start with all the martial spirits and such feels a bit like LLS. As you proceed it is a bit like MW/TMW not only because the MC is almost invincible and beats things above his level, but also the fantasy items like: all kinds of flames, magical treasures of all kinds, different thunders and things to collect and items of legend not to mention all the beasts and mythical creatues/legendary figures. Later on the novel starts to have an air of Emperors Domination with how the MC acts in his actions. All in all it is a typical xianxia but it does it well enough to be worth reading (and binge read)

About the MC, well as said above He is the Heavens Chosen MC, the backstory of him being reincarnated, is sadly just like the usual reincarnated mcs: it's mostly used for convenience. The scripture is just there to make him OP (Kinda like AST or Dominating Sword Immortal I guess?) and to make some of his actions easier. All that said he isn't a dry cracker with no humor and isn't dull with romance and he does grow as the story progresses. As I said with how it resembles ED is that he at one point rules.. Some places not gonna spoil too much here, but during the story he becomes the ruler of a lot of places so as he goes around the world and above, then obviously he won't take tr*sh talking from some puny young master of X sect or anyone for that sake. This means during the story we will see a lot of people provoking him and him killing A LOT OF PEOPLE - seriously I think this guy easily can be in the top 5 of MC kill counts, this doesn't mean he is the bloodthirst type on the contrary he's pretty harmless as long as you don't provoke him so don't let it deter you from reading this novel. Honestly dont expect too much in the first 100-200 chapters from the MC as the author is still trying to set up how the MC acts.

As for the side characters and romance:

• It is actually a harem as he has more than 1 love interest, most of the romance and the girls aren't too fleshed out (Shi Xiaofei best girl tho) and he has two main love interests so far with 3 others. The two mains aren't too 1 dimensional and Shi Xiaofei feels like a young wife throughout the story and another girl is also quite likeable.
• His family is also important to him through the story and we meet them occasionally, so they aren't just thrown behind and that's it.
• Sadly as it is for this type of story, it is hard to keep friends and followers consistent, as through the story the MC usually power spikes too much. That said he does meet plenty of friends and have masters which isn't too 1 dimensional and there is also a few mentionable/memorable characters we meet.

I guess i'll mention some of the things I found bad/annoying/a pity:

• The Antagonists is not too memorable in my opinion. We're not dealing with the super big schemes and plots, and even if, then the MC is just brute forcing his MC power through most of it. Not to mention that they somehow tend to be soft hearted, in an otherwise pretty brutal cultivation world - while there is some deaths on the MCs sides it is never truly important characters which means a softer impact for us readers. But! The first major antagonist was decent I guess.
• Finally no really.. Finally, maybe it was just because I read it on MTL, but the word FINALLY was used way too much in the start of the story. If, to you, the word FINALLY means using a fair bit of effort used to accomplish something, then it does not have the same meaning for the author. Cultivating to X step in no time that otherwise takes others a long time? FINALLY DONE with so much damn effort. Opening a magic treasure in two tries with hardly any time spent? FINALLY opened it wow FINALLY. Ok, I wont say too much more about it, but unless the translator spices it up, be ready for the lack of vocabulary in the start.
• Too many young masters that keep blaring their status and provoking and retaliation. While it isn't always bad as it is like reading a young master/sect death sentence every time.
• No real motivation for cultivation, after the start with wanting to protect his family.
• MC cant walk outside without stepping in treasures, but this is also related with the cultivation type (and being able to move the story anywhere with how the MCs body is). Essentially this novel doesn't use the sense things / sense dao ETC type of cultivation but it's mostly just Absorb Energy/Qi to fill urself up to breakthrough.
• Also! Grades! So many grades and levels and grades and levels and best and mid and low and so on, this novel seriously suffers from this, so brace yourselves for GRADING!
• And last but not least the Author cheapens us with writing in full every time he cultivates, meaning it's not just "And Xiaolong cultivated for the evening" no it describes the whole process almost every time he cultivates. What does this mean? It means by the time I read 2359 chapters atleast 3-400 of them was describing him almost cultivating the same over and over. I feel like this is seriously bad from the author, I know he has to deliver his chapters but it is still largely disappointing - But hey atleast you can just scroll past it most of the time, but it still means there's actually only about 2000 chapters if not a bit less (at the time of this review obviously) when you remove the rehashing of the cultivation.

All in all, a really enjoyable MC thats confident and ruthless but still decent. With the typical xianxia setting, a few memorable characters that you'll enjoy. And while it has been mentioned in other reviews, he does actually face a few super powerhouses quite above his level later on, needing to use subordinates or treasures to face. Obviously the reason for this is to push him and give a reason for cultivating obviously as he realizes he's an ant most of the time, even if he's a super blessed MC. As for the reason he hides his things.. Well as you read further in you realize just how blessed he is and how good of a decision it is.

But do keep in mind that this novel as of now has 2k+ chapters and it does take the first hundreds of chapters to start to define itself.
Also a good novel to begin with if this is your first or second novel you are reading as it isn't too "Chinese".
I rate it 3.5, as it does come with its faults and I wont say its a gem like Duoluo Dalu etc and belongs to the OP MC list of novels.

i do not know the people not like in the father being week well u will know why in the more advanced chapter as that this is not his real father and the MC's real father is one of the most amazing and powerful cultivators in the universe

and about the repeating plot of the MC beating every talent like they are nothing as I have explained above. It is because of his soul capacity being more than normal person by three times.
