Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.The Soaring Dragon Continent is a world of summons, you can only become strong if you become a summoner! Yue Yang, an average high school boy, was suddenly kicked into this world. When he woke up, he was greeted with a lot of worried faces and found out that he had assumed another person’s identity. Turns out he’s the good-for-nothing third son of the Yue Family, who had just recently drowned himself because of a failed engagement. Unlike the third son of the Yue Family who was useless in summoning, Yue Yang succeeded in making a contract with a summoning grimoire on his first try, even when the other guy failed for the past fifteen years. Others would have a headache making contracts with beasts afterwards, but countless beasts tried to gain favour with Yue Yang instead, acting like a good kid before him.
Yue Yang the brat, however, didn’t feel grateful at all: “Scram, Mythical Beasts! Do you think you are cool like that? Go away from me now, I only like beautiful summons!”
Even when royal families approached him for his talents, the shameless brat replied, “I’m not interested in government stuff, I’m only interested in beauties!”

The MC keeps saying he's hardworking, but he has the most cheats and hacks a MC can have. He also has 4 Godlike beings living inside him ready to save his life if he gets his ass kicked.
There's a clan called Hundred Flowers Clan or something and all the children of theirs are female and when they wanted a male heir, one of the members, the MC's "mother", brought a child from the Immortal World to make him an heir. The MC was originally a True Dragon, but since they fused their bloodlines with his, he became human. He was the original MC, not the one that he reincarnated into.
Pros
Cons
- Frequently humorous
- Reasonably good attention to character development. Some slightly interesting characters (that aren't the MC).
- Has a plot (interesting though nothing exceptional)
- Has some interesting ideas on summoning, and (very indirectly) the nature of agency/free will. The bad:
- MC is pretty much 20% a jerk with plot armor and luck not to be believed- oh, and he's OP. Very 'Gary Stu adventure'.
- Tons of repetitive 'descriptions' which are really bragging opportunities. You should be ok with being reminded: -- How awesome the MC is
-- How awesome his accomplishments/titles are
-- How awesome his summons are
-- How awesome his grimoire is
-- How awesome the MC's gear is- as well as the gear of his summons
etc. Needless to say, as the story progresses and these add up, more and more frequent 'updates' are needed, as well as 'reminders' when he faces notable enemies. "This person's power feels like (whatever number rank) ! In terms of (where ranked among) that is more powerful than (list of powerful people met or legendary) " <- this is only a sentence- in the novel it will be 1-3 exhaustive paragraphs... In short, LOTS of bragging. You think the MC is awesome? Here's a new strong person. Maybe you have a doubt about how awesome the MC is in comparison. LET ME REMIND YOU... - This is a harem (which doesn't HAVE to be an issue), but 90% of the girls are pretty much lining up for him for no good reason. Also, for a harem, the target number of girls seems to be quite high and still increasing. The 'captured' number (at this point) isn't extravagant for a harem (it's low actually), so 'who knows?'. Anyway- the pacing in this regard and the balance to the action/etc isn't bad for a harem.
- Levels, Ranks, 'by more than ten times- (hundreds, thousands, etc) ': Author describes many things by rank or unnecessary exaggeration. Some of the exaggerations are obvious nonsense, while others leave you wondering if he's serious or not.
- Too many characters/groups: I shudder to think how many chars were created throughout the whole of this saga- but by c450, it's easily over 100 chars in 15 or so groups. As much as it's a complaint, it's not too hard to follow- just needlessly excessive.
- 'I invented everything': Another 'the MC is key to rediscovering/discovering methods to do many things' story. Everyone around him have been trying to overcome things for centuries and he just waltzes in and 'trips over' it. Repeatedly. Some of it's 'fine' since he gets 'lost knowledge' or a 'secret teacher', etc.- but the fact he has SO MANY THINGS... well, OP.
- Repetition: The author has a tendency to repeat things 2-6 times in a chapter and in various ways. A bit annoying. This is in addition to the bragging point mentioned earlier.
-Plot development: I should stress that the MCs progress is slightly 'part of an ongoing plotwise development arc', somewhat 'here's a new thing, it'll make the MC more awesome, just you wait', and just as much 'Oh, look at that neat thing the MC stumbled into and how beneficial it happens to be!'-- in short, if you want solid plotting- forget it. There is an overall arc, etc- but mostly things kind of happen. This isn't quite a 'pop-up events' or 'monster of the week' level of randomness (usually) - but there are sudden enough direction changes that it will make you wonder about some of the 'loose ends'. The different:
- Dog-kicking: Surprisingly this becomes common as he 'abuses' his loyal 'pet' throughout the saga. All is not as it seems, so the authors need to stun all observers with his blatant 'heartlessness' ends up being more interesting and complicated.
- Other than the rare bits where he gives a different twist on the 'puppet wants to be a girl' story', most of the rest is standard 'RPG Magical Saga'- style developments.
- Seeing the 'Chinese culture elements' (devotion to clan/family/mother, need to have status, give others status, etc.) is quite interesting to me. I know these are fictionalized variants, but the undercurrent is there.
Positives:
1) Hilarious situations which will make u laugh or at least smile. And there are lots of em.
2) The concept of using beasts as summons in combination with combat techniques is not a new idea but somehow in adding cultivation and martial arts to it, it gives a new spin to same old concept. Certainly not new but still somehow refreshing from usual xianxia crap.
3) Interaction between MC and harem members is interesting Negatives:
1) Very Poor world building. Some of the things are too confusing. The relations between various kingdoms, sects and other associations is too vague. What the hell is Tong tian tower? Never explained. What are relations between the harem members? Vaguely touched upon. Who was poor guy's mother? Or Father? Never even touched upon (I know that they are probably a part of some greater plot point. But still some info would have been nice). In nutshell the world building is all over the place. Half of the characters that drop in have some deep relations with MC or his parents or his harem members but no info is ever given. 240 chaps in, we still don't know anything abt most of harem members or hell even the some of the family members of the MC till now. 2) No explanation on cultivation system: WTH is innate? How is different from the others?After all the battling and using grimoire multiple times against strong enemies along with his beast, why does he still remain at level 2 bravemen. His sister yue bing already went all the way up to Level 4 Hero. WTH! In essence, the incredible lack of information on basic world building and characters and additionally poor explanation on cultivation system while constantly giving indication of some greater plot in background only gives rise to confusion rather than actually creating intrigue and interest. However, I would still recommend the novel for the enjoying the sheer antiques, bad assery and shameless behavior of MC for some laughs. Decent translation speed, excellent translation also add to the value.
- Good monster elements. Monster skills, monster types, monster evolution. BTW the MC's monsters either are babes or become babes within a reasonable amount of time. Other characters all have their own monsters and they have a good amount of details and backstory as well.
- MC does eventually get laid on screen and off screen so it's not all teasing.
- The relationships all seem meaningful.
Spoiler

- There's a larger plot about the nation and his place in it.

It's very good that the plot goes back and forth between MC's own exploits and his efforts for other people.
- MC has a distinct personality
- Shameless
- Loves his family
- Loves the female leads (wives)
- Looks after his underlings/allies
- Prideful when he's not busy being shameless
- The pacing is pretty good.
- A lot of the conflicts feel emotionally grounded.
- Combat isn't just power level competition. There's tricks and intelligence and so on. It's displayed a lot of times that a smart monster is more valued and frightening than a strong one. And then the typing matchups are very powerful.

ConsEven though it takes a while for him to get the princess in bed, it's because he's shameless so they're antagonistic for a while. Then she's shy. Then he got a different wife first so people aren't sure. Then again, another character comes in and she's more ready to have a relationship, so they get into it way quicker.
I.E. a war starts, or his clan is in trouble, or his mom or sister.
I.E. Most demons should flee in terror from Th**ny Flower Queen. Even when she was approaching final evolution, and not even there yet, they already started freaking out.
- Overarching stuff takes a long time to resolve
Spoiler
- Still don't know what the Sword Goddess is after. Why is she teaching him. Is there even a reason or is this just something that she does because she's a Sword Goddess? This is a mystery from chapter 1.
- What's up with his biological mom? Is she alive? In the MC's opnion, he didn't take over Yue Yang's body, he just looks like him. So why is he so compatible with his mom's stuff? There's lots of fan theories about this but nothing's been explained yet.
[collapse]
- A long time from Romance > Wives. But it did feel like they had a real relationship.
- Regeular DBZ effect. After a long time, he finally approaches level 10, then there's hevaen ranks so oh well, we have another 10 levels after this.
- It can be hard to understand the rankings.
- There's Grimoire levels. This is what's recognized as the MC's actual level, according to the universe he's in.
- There's innate levels. This is actually different to his level. MC starts as level one, Innate level one so it's confusing for a while. Innate level is like... the amount of profound mystic stuff. Whereas level is more like your power level. But level isn't really your power level, it's how much your grimoire has leveled up. If you don't deploy your Grimoire much then it doesn't level up much.
- There's Monster levels. There's also monster intelligence and humanity and ranks and stuff.
- Items also have levels
- There's no big reason for him to be a reincarnator. I guess it makes the writing easier and gives a different start off point. But he never uses modern knowledge, never talks about going back or his life back then, and it doesn't really affect him.
- Still hasn't laid hands on his monster girls yet. It's a lot of teasing since he decides early on he will only contract girl beasts that can become pretty girls one day.
- MC gains different skills, i.e. puppet skills, rune skills, and whatever. But he keeps picking up super powers that are all rare and most people don't even have one of these, but they all mean the same thing
Spoiler
- Innate Invisible Sword Chi - It means huge attack power.
- Super Power 2 - huge attack power. This one can also be used to refine things.
- Super Power 3 - huge attack power. He can throw this one?
- Super Power 4 - huge attack power. This one has a large charge time.
- Forget it. MC specializes in huge attack power, ok. Let his monsters gradually pick up different kinds of skills. His monsters can learn to change terrain or change shape or whatever.
