- Cliches out of the window: no arrogant young masters, no need to conflict over everything;
CONS-
- Not a very elaborate cultivation system, not much explained.
Overall, not perfect but makes me feel fuzzy and warm and occasionally provides the adrenaline kick only powerful MC's give, 5/5. More detailed explanation down below. I feel disgusted by some of the lower scoring and reviews on this webnovel:-
- Do some of you seriously downvote every Qidian International published novel? I understand you want to boycot them, but you know who's collateral damage? The author, who wants his novels to be popular (and in my opinion rightfully so) and readers who never learn of this great novel because it gets buried with a low score.
- This is for a significant part a romance novel. This is not like Coiling Dragon or Martial World or whatever cultivation novels you think of. Giving a low rating because the novel is not what you want it to be, is so... childish.
- As for the romance itself; giving it a low rating because the MC is "ignorant of girls" is preposterous. Nothing about the romance in this novel is unrealistic. Longtime crushes exist. Calling the MC a stalker is... like... you don't know what a real stalker is. Saying he avoids other girls because he already has a girlfriend is completely unbased. Oh and the guy saying this is like a Japanese novel because of the martial arts and romance: I don't get what you're saying. This guy may be humble, but he actually knows he's good at martial arts. He's not a self loathing coward or a giant pe*vert. He's a pretty normal guy
- As for the cheat: in xianxia for example cheats are rampant, for better or worse. In this novel, the cheat is rather unobtrusive. It enhances his attacks with two elements, and improves his stamina. Whether it improves his talent, that's unsure so far. Maybe he really has a lot of innate talent, even without the cheat? For the record, this may be kind of a wish fulfillment novel, but as much as a good romance story is one. It's not like xianxia's with uberpowerful MC's that collect harems or revive their parents.
- The tournaments: ofcourse there are a lot of tournaments, martial arts is a sport in this novel and sports are tournaments and vice versa...
I just don't get it those ratings... There are legitimate points of criticism but those bad reviews don't mention those at all. On to the real review. PROS: The three genres given earlier are more accurate than what's given by NU. So far, it's been a (martial arts) sports story with a sweet, very prominent romance subplot. User ipapotihus is about right, it's "45% martial art, 45% romance and 10% bro". There isn't much real cultivation, it's mostly martial arts. And the fights are pretty well written. I like the calm progression in the main character's strength and sports achievements, the slowly but naturally and really well written romance (I was constantly reminiscing about my first love/girlfriend, what's written didn't feel unnatural or unrealistic at all). It's unlike most Chinese webnovels, which is a really good thing. 192 chapters in and it's not like he's far from the best martial artist ever. His talent is great, and slowly getting recognized, but that's it. This is going to be such a warm, fuzzy and satisfying read, I feel it. The calm progression is gonna make me feel real good and when it's finally completely translated, I'll reread it (something I rarely do). This brings me to the last point; most cliches out of the window (apart from the "cheat" and "powerful master"). No arrogant young masters, no constant scumbaggery, the character cast doesn't seem like the scum of humanity. The MC is a normal guy, the girlfriend is a beautiful but feisty girl. The people around them feel like real persons with their own quirks as well. The writer could have made the girlfriend a bit less pretty and it wouldn't have been much different. Again, this novel feels normal, feels warm, makes me happy while reading it. And o thank god dear lord hallelujah not everyone is after the MC because he's together with a really pretty girl, this must be like the first time that happens in a Chinese novel. The dialogue is great, and the character building is good as well. I didn't instantly forget who everyone was, because even most sidecharacters talk in their own way, or have their own characteristics,... The sidecharacters feel unique, feel alive. CONS: The one thing that might be a black mark is the lack of conflict. This is both a good and a bad point, depending on how you look at it. The conflict in most xianxia novels is luckily absent in this novel, but strangely enough the typical sports rivalry isn't there yet either. The best candidate for a rival, someone in the same martial arts club of the same age, actually isn't a rival at all, more like an acquaintance or even a bit of a friend. I'd like maybe some more conflict in the tournaments? Another problem was that it was difficult sometimes to follow the cultivation system and the ranks. Not much time is invested in explaining ranks, cultivation and techniques. I also want to know more about the world. How cultivation declined, how techniques were passed on, why the world of martial arts is like it is in the webnovel. So far, not much has been explained but that will probably still come? OVERALL: First review. Way too long, no regrets because it's worth it. This webnovel is great, I want more endorphines. 5/5It's literally a CN version of "King of Fighters" (1994) + "History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi" (2002) .
It's technically shounen. Decent binge read if you have nothing better to do. 3 out of 5 stars. No idea what all the reviewer grief about Qidian translation turf wars are about. Most reviewers covered a lot of problems so I'll just point the main issues. (1) QUESTIONABLE ROMANCE GENRE & GOALS

Important Note : If any novel is from qidian please don't check ratings but reviews instead. Reason : because some immature people rate 1 if it is from qidian.

50% chatting with each other in real life and info dumps
15% training and fights The fights use many terms of fighting styles that the reader will be unable to understand thus cannot imagine what's going on. The romance is kinda cute at times. Translation speed is fast so quality suffers with many broken English. Overall, a decent enough novel to kill time.
- AWESOME ROMANCE: Like seriously. This novel have the best romance I've seen in my years of webnovel reading experience. It's feels really real and I can relate with most of it. Here we can see how the MC pursuing his lover little by little, from getting her number to texting, how MC slowly make the girl open up to him, his effort for his girl and then there's more development after they establish their relationship and how they cope with it. It's fun, it's sweet and bring back my memories when I was pursuing my girlfriend in highschool.
- Character Development is top notch. You can see the MC from being weak, shy and kinda dumb evolve little by little to be strong, confident, smart and calm. There's also the development from the side characters. They also develop together with the MC and not one dimensional.
- Side characters is great. Everyone has their own unique personality and they are not abandoned after a few chapters like most CN webnovel. Even the rivals is likeable. They have their own motivation and problem on their own. And they will stay around and have their own character progression even after their fight with the MC.
- Comedy is also good. It's fun seeing they joke around and banter with themselves. The conversation between the MC and his girlfriend can also be funny sometime.
- Plot is excellent and beautifully paced. There are no awkward timeskip or plot hole.
- The MC have a cheat but it's not OP at all. Even his master doesn't give a sh*t about his cheat. The MC is not overpowered as he also lose his fight.
Cons:- The translation quality is really bad. It's almost MTL level of bad. It's readable if you shut down your brain a little. But because of the bad translation, the fight scene become garbage as I cant imagine it well. Honestly I will re read this novel from chapter 1 if they got a better translator. Another thing the translator keep on dropping the novel for few months before resuming it because they cant take people criticizing their translation.
- Power level is not properly explained or it was explained but I couldn't understand it well because of the garbage translation in the earlier chapters.
Overall I give this novel 10 star for the romance... more>>What? You can't like a person because of her looks? Hey, let's be realistic for a bit. At chapter 99, they've just started to connect to each other. Yan Zheke has just begun to like Lou Cheng and Lou Cheng has been entranced by her beauty and wants to get closer since forever. THEY INTERACTED LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE, SURPRISED?! And later on, she is one of the best character I've experienced, period. Back to the actual review.
