Update from my scroll reading:

After so many sh*t and turns, I already lowered my expectation and grading system from this s*upid novel to adjust to the s*upid mentality of the writer.

But in the end, I am still speechless, of how dumb this novel is.

... more>> The writer Isn't completely an ameture when It comes from writing, but his writing habits kicks put time to time.

And the worst part of it, is this disgusting son of a b*tch writer fetish, If you still don't get it, while reading it.

Then you better off, not knowing it. If you do, You'll be disgust to the point of vomiting.

What are those mentioned habits of the writer?

1. He loves to add filler, just to get the capacity of the word content, when he publish a new chapter, not minding the content of his chapter.

- It was fine, If it was just happened for twice or thrice per 30 chapters... But the thing is, It happened for every single chapter.

2. His idea is great, but If you still doesn't realise the main root of the problem, then Idk what to say anymore...

When It comes from Ideas, that's his one and only life saving grace, But in actual writing, He sucks when It came from actual writing, clinché lines, overused template and so on.

3. The Romance is awfully written, IDK if it was on purpose or he really do sucks at writing romance.

4. There is no need to mention this, but the smooth sail of the MC, makes the story so bland, He only realise that point, when the WN is about to end.

5. Then he tried to make a come back, but in the end, It was still his weakness, He couldn't deliver the exciting, thriller, nervousness, Because in the end, you can still predict what will happened, cuz you are already numb enough on his writing habits.

If I am going to leave every single plot hole or problem on this wn, It will turn into a whining rather than a review.

So a friendly warning, If you want a smooth sailing adventure with op MC.

Then this one is for you.

But on the other hand, If you're like me verifying if the genre or tag was real, then this isn't for you nor for me.

The only genre really does exist is, Adventure and Action. What about the rest? IDK why the hell is it there.

Then what's the point of those tag? IDK ask that ret*rd writer. Everything is non-existance. Like the harem or cultivation, because he always broke his own rule, that he set inside this wn, so what's the point? IDK why the writer keeps writing this. But like I said he is good at ideas or might be a tailor made Ideas comes from different wn and add it altogether to his own wn. Then as you can see, he really is awfully bad at actual writing.

This is only my greatest bad after taste when it comes from this s*upid novel.

Read it if you like.

Spoiler

So here is the thing, I don't get it why the writer is giving much paper to this character, maybe because of the shitty taste of the writer.

It was no other than Sheng Mei, Nickname, b*tch, thot or what ever you like to call that character.

What am I saying is, She is the worst character I've known so far.

How so?

If you were gonna use your head for a minute and clear your thoughts out. I will tell you why you should hate this character.

First. She submit to her most greatest enemy, who killed her own parents. What's more because of hunger for power, she abandoned the sacrifiest of her own parents and even helped, the devil to gain more power.

Just because of her own selfish desire. For the sake of power, she abandoned everything, for the sake of her own pitiful life, she cast away her own pride, freedom. Yet act so pitiful and stuff... 'Spit' What a disgusting woman, her hypocrisy reach another realm that no one can step in, she even over taken MC in that kind of field. What is more, she act so tragic and stuff, while knowing it was her own choices...

But that wasn't the thing that I am pissed off about, It was the MC abandoned his race, wives, family, just to find her... Then that time, It was not about the story it self, but It was just another whim of the writer, his shitty taste from a women. Knowing this, I couldn't help but to have such a bad after taste, never the less, I already predicted it, I just hope some short of life saving grace from this wn, In the end It was a tr*sh novel.

But I think, the reason he put it that way was to bait his s*upid brain dead fan so they'll wait for a news about the MC and this thot, but in the end he never made an special chapter or some short, just mentioned some line and stuff. That's how shameless this writer is, Well in the end, I never read his another s*upid WN, just search the threads on the internet and they're frustrated too. Haha, I felt bad for those fools, they should avoid this type of mentally ill author.

[collapse]

I won't recommend it.

If you're bored enough or waiting for a decent novel to file up some chapters, then this wn is the best way to waste your time.

If I could rate it negative star, I would do so. <<less

The only bad thing about this light novel is that whenever the MC fights, there seems to be an audience due to painstaking hard work of the author. And these wise people quite wisely estimate how the MC is going to get Fed in the A, only to be shocked about the MC's power and potential. And the author has filled up many, many, many chapters with this kind of BS.

Though other novels do have people getting shocked by MC's power, but this author has cultivated this Dao to ANOTHER... more>> LEVEL. <<less

I liked it at first, the story was interesting, the power built up and such are nice. The most annoying thing here though is the antagonists. He offends one guy, this guy asks for help because he can't beat the MC, the MC fights the helper and then if the helper can't win. This helper gets another helper to help him. So the MC fights the helper's helper. But this helper's helper can't win. So the helper's helper gets another helper to help him. This just continues as he... more>> lvls up. <<less

The best novel ever! Lin Ming ono of my favorite MC. Smart, strong there isn't any unneceseery killing sect destroying and stuff like that. Cultivation is truly amazing a pity that battle intent after reaching gold was abandoned, shortly only in Desolate Era was better system.

There is no shitty harem!

During adventures Lin Ming meets a lot girls but at the end pick 2 from lower Realm and 2 from Divine Realm (theoretically one)

This novel here was a pretty decent and enjoyable read for a while.

It’s what you get when you take lots of building blocks from ATG and a few from ST, shuffle them and remove some of the unnecessary conflicts.

The first problem is that it has fairly short chapters, even though they’re not. What do I mean by that?

Every sentence that adds new information is immediately followed by two unnecessary paragraphs of the author debating what it means or what it implies, either stating the obvious or repeating already known background... more>> information. You could basically reduce the number of chapters to half their number if you were to remove those obvious fillers... It just doesn’t pack as strong a punch if it’s diluted.
Spoiler

Unfortunately it turned progressively monotonous and unimaginative and I dropped it after he ascended to divine realm after becoming the strongest in the mortal world (ch 952).

From 3.75 to 3.5 (Reasoning for the lower rating written below)

One of the few novels I’m currently following intently which is a sign of how good I find the novel to be considering the amount of novels I’ve dropped / usually just skim.

One thing to note though is that the author tends to be repetative. In the most recent chapters you can’t help but notice how many times the author mentions “his strength is only the result of consuming 2 pills at the same time” and “the skills he... more>> chose are the worst and it’s because he knows he’s tr*sh.” This is common in most webnovels but the problem here is that these aren’t mentioned in passing. Most of the time entire paragraphs are used just to repeat / rephrase previously stated information... to the point that some chapters feel like they are simply recap chapters.

Still, the interesting world + MC’s character + writing style (despite the pace being slow) + the speed at which the translator pumps out chapters will certainly keep me reading this novel for quite some time unless something changed

• Update 1 (3/24/2016 1:26 AM) •

Lowered my rating from 3.75 to 3.5.

This is due to the writing becoming more and more repetative. Ideas stated using long paragraphs are rephrased in the very next / closely suceeding chapters. Desriptions and expositions are also being forcefully extended in order to increase the word count. It would be fine if additional information is given using those extending words or if the desciptions are written artfully but that is rarely the case. Hopefully this trend changes otherwise this will become a part of my dropped list. <<less

Very similar with ATG, but with more flaws.

first. MC is the embodiment of hypocrisy. It's said that his heart hold a considerable amount of love/lust but no evil, yet for whatever reasons he kills without batting an eye while neglecting his women.

MC only shows proper manner at the beginning of the story, when he gets more powerful, he pretty much becomes self-centered. The conversations are also kinda irritating, when MC asks about A, somehow the answer will start from Z. Not to mention the repetitive sentences that keep appearing in... more>> several chapters continuously.

MC's cultivation method is also obscure, at time they have layer to go through, but overtime they're forgotten. There's no suspense in the battle, meh level drama, but quite acceptable adventure.

MC learns many things only to be abandoned later on.

Well, to put it simply, the author did his best to make MC seems AMAZING, but in the end the overall story become mediocre. <<less

A lot of people already pretty much got everything this novel is about in their reviews. So I'm just gonna say why I'm gonna drop this.
... more>>
Spoiler

1. Around the 300s 400s chp the MC just doesn't feel like he did in the beginning. It's Like he just lost his soul if you ask me. He's just different but not in a good way.
2. It's literally the same format in every arc which people have already pointed out.
3. Every time there is any progress in the relationship between the MC and his "Lovers" he has to leave at exactly that moment and it's annoying asf.
4. There is never any real feeling that the characters are in danger. It's cringy to watch his friends be bullied and on the verge of death over and over again and him coming to save the day. It's not interesting in that we know nothing Is gonna happen to them so it's just s*upid.

Nice Story at the start then start to go downhill story when the MC goes to Divine Phoenix but still a little passable story but then I suddenly like it again specially between chapter 1934-1963

where he believe he has been deceived by Sheng Mei (Saint Beautiful) don't know what will be her name and he died in Sky Spill Continent and then he reincarnate and also he saw all his friends once again specially Zhu Yan who stole Lan Yunyue from him then he accompany his parents for more than 800 years

story specially chapter 1963 where he accompany his parents till the last 100 years of their lives and until they die which is a very touching chapter and this chapters are the best part of the whole story and the reason why I kept reading it till the end and also the reason why I gave it 4 star which should be around 3.5-3.7 but round off.


It has many repeatable sentence where it already said from the start but still continue to say until the end and also it has many forced situations that doesn't really make sense that the author are really just forcing it and it really disturb the way of the story but it is still good.
also the best girl for me in this story is Xiao Moxian which has a little difference from the other girls because she has a child like disposition and kind of cute in the story

Despite it being the basic formula for Xianxia, it does actually have an appeal seperate from the normal face slapping and blood spitting we see in stuff like this. While it never strays too far from the proven steps, it also doesn't go out of it's way to fit any of the character stereotypes or any character anything for that matter.

The main character, Lin Ming, is clearly a bland doll for the author and audience to thrust themselves onto, but he does begin to develop character later on in the... more>> story.

As for the supporting characters, it's best to call them non-existent at best. The author seems to have some f*cking commitment problem because every five seconds were replacing characters who couldn't have been said to have had any personality to begin with, and exchanging them for other worthless characters who also have nothing to contribute to the story.

That's also just a symptom of a much bigger problem for the series. The author keeps increasing Lon Kong's strength so quickly, even in terms of the story, that characters that I might've liked or grown attachment to or shoved out of the way for even more extraordinary genius' who Lang Bin will just roll over again.

Not just other characters either, Lappy Manny is also speeding past interesting settings, plot points, etc. If I had a buck for each gun Chekhov had in this story that was never fired, I might've been able to get Bernie Sanders elected.

That being said, the story does have the strangely addictive (yet repetitive) cycle that all Xianxia suffer, and reap the benefits from. The "such tr*sh, die!" cycle, as I've come to refer to it. So, if you're here for that, then look no further.

If there are any here for anything resembling a comprehensive story, enthralling characters, or extravagant setting, then there are much better places for one to look. <<less

Ok... this is a pretty straight up xianxia. It has good progression and the characters so far are okay.... the cliffies though ?! The MC is pretty good seeing as he is not transmigrated or reincarnated...I should warn you though, the plot armour is strong in this one. All in all, this is a pretty decent read and it updates on a regular basis... yeeaaahh!!

Simply the best! I love the MC. He is one of the few who acts his age which is rare and extremely refreshing. He isn't overly arrogant while pretending like he isn't which tends to be the norm in these types of novels. His pure love for Martial Ways and his simple desire to grow stronger come across beautifully, and the novels power system having it that so simply by having a strong martial heart makes you grow stronger is an interesting and unique twist I haven't seen before which... more>> I thoroughly enjoy. The world and the cultivation//magic are also extremely interesting to learn about. From the inscription to the types of arrays they all have my wanting to learn more as the MC learns more. Only real problems I have with it are that the side characters aren't that interesting. Currently we have one that I can see still being around 100 chapters from now and she hasn't been fleshed out that much. Last real problem is of a somewhat similar vein, the villains. I prefer more sympathetic or complex bag guys or at least not just a bunch of r*pe machines and cannibals. I know under 200 chapters of a 2000+ chapter series probably hasn't had time to show us any real side characters or villains but with what we currently have it seems lacking.

Regardless of all that this is very much my favorite of the dozen or so of these types of novels I am currently reading. <<less

Dont bother reading below guys review (ZephyrFpv__) he is hating for no reason.

Every single point he is trying to make is fake. I dont like to point fingers at anyone but after seeing such a biased review, I feel like I have to.

  1. "One of the flattest protagonist I have ever met." = FALSE. This MC is propably one of the best you will ever find among cultivation novels. Kill anyone who threatens his safety or his friends safety without mercy, for any gender be it female or male. You can be the most beautiful person in the universe but he will still kill you without any mercy. He has little character developement, because from chapter 300 he has already matured, he sets his goal and will do anything to achieve it. No bullsh*t reasons, like chasing after some heaven defying beautiful girl or sh*t like that.
  2. "Arrogant young masters and elders of whatever sect he joins (no character developments here, they all share the same traits repeated with just a higher level of cultivation) " = FALSE. This cant even be more false. Among cultivation novels this one has the fewest arrogant young master characters you will ever find. Important enemies have their own dinstinct personality, and goals.
  3. "_Romance is dull and repetitive; girl sacrifice something for MC (her Yin normally), MC start feeling something and get the girl and enemy wants to steal/r*pe have the girl to get his honor back or whatever..."= FALSE. No girl sacrificed something like her YIN in this novel. I seriously doubt if this guy even read the same novel??? Also, unlike usual cultivation novels, this plot (ENEMIES WANT TO r*pe HIS GIRLS SO MC KILLS THEM) literally doesnt exist. MC is very goal focused, so he is mostly away from his girls. And also we have quite a good romance as well. Not forced at all.
  4. "_As the MC made the mistake to leave enemy C as a hidden trouble for him, you'll here this reference for 2000 straight chapters. (Along the lines of having learned the lesson from enemy C, Lin Ming will strungle all hidden danger behind) "= FALSE. YOU WONT FIND ANY MC WHO KILLS MORE CONVINCINGLY THAN LIN MING. He literally kills every single person who may treaten him or his closed ones, with every chance he has. He is the most decisive MC I have ever seen no doubt.
  5. "_There's always a crowd ready to downplay MC's abilities till MC last moves or till MC wins the tournament/fight. Then everyone start on sucking up on the MC."= FALSE. There is no sucking up to MC's skills or downplaying his abilities in this novel. Or if there is, its only in a the tournaments which is at most for 20-30 chapters.
  6. "_Authors introduce elements to the story like talent levels, martial intent and battle spirit just to later forget them altogether or make them irrelevant."= FALSE. Nothing of the sort happens. Almost everything author introduced you will keep seeing it through the novel, and to do this for a 2000+ chapter novel is amazing to say the least.
I seriously doubt if this guy read this same novel. Or maybe he has a grudge against this author. I cant explain why else he would write this misleading review.

... more>> Anyway im sorry for the long rant, but (ZephyrFpv) This guys review absolutely triggered me.

This is definetely one of the best cultivation novels. It obviously depends on individual tastes.

For me i'd say this is the best cultivation story of its kind.

Definetely recommended. <<less

I like this story and recommend reading it. The only bad thing is that about 4/10ths of what's written is filler information. Don't get me wrong you need good world building but this is not what the writer does. The way I would put it is like this for example. I made a turkey and lettuce sandwich on whole wheat with mustard and mayonnaise. Its better detailed than saying I made a sandwich. Also its not an overly complex word filled explanation. Its good enough to get the point across... more>> while giving you a detailed idea of what to visualize. Now the writer does this as I walked two steps in the direction of the cabinet. I reach out my right hand at a 35degre angle while untwisting the back and with my left hand making contact with two slices of whole wheat bread manufactured in Wichita Kansas. Where the wheat was grown on ted bigsbees farm 75 miles north by north-west on old tucker road. I think I made my point. I frequently skip 2 or 3 chapters just to get past the space filler chapters. <<less

Disclaimer: I was a sponsor of this novel, first on Patreon, then on Wuxiaworld.

This novel has been one of my favorite in the Chinese fantasy genre, and while it is not perfect, it is a very good if not excellent book which I would have given full mark if not for a few flaws that objectively prevent me to do so.

The Martial World is a fine setting. While a “big” setting is hint at during the prologue, it is first limited to the lead character’s native world until close to... more>> half the novel. Limited, but not poorly done, quite the contrary, for the Sky Pill planet is indeed well described, abundantly detailed and rich in mysteries that will prove significant even in the latter part of the story. The Divine Realm, and the larger world beyond show themselves to be just as well written, with pretty much the same positive characteristics but further depth and epic as the scale of the universe increases. In fact, quite a few places visited by the main character are later revisited, with old secrets explained (and sometimes new mysteries added).

Speaking of the characters, I must say they are pretty good. True, there is not really a core cast of characters, as most are left behind as the protagonist rises in power, although some stick with him for long periods of times (in person like his wives or as part of the plot for the significant antagonists) or reappear at a later time (like his mortal family or some members of the first major influence he belongs to). So most characters are well designed for their roles but are mostly functional. The recurring ones have more depth, often just a little more, except for the few mentor figures and the wives. By the way, if you’re not a fan of the harem genre (I’m not either, I prefer monogamous heroes), don’t worry because while the protagonist is polygamous, each love interest has her own defined personality and plays an important role in the story’s progression, often being central to a big part of the plot. As for the main antagonists, while we got the classic “arrogant young masters” at the beginning of the book, they are quickly replaced by villains with “good” to “great” personality and well planned operations lasting for whole arcs which make them memorable, often more than the MC’s allies.

The main characters is excellent. Lin Ming is no sociopath, has no arrogance and is a sympathetic person, caring and protective to his family, friend and allies, always willing to get justice for them but without sadism. His core characteristic is his love for martial arts, his quest for the peak of this discipline being one of his main driving force for the whole novel and his appreciation for all martial matters being an important part of the mood thorough the story. Moreover, there is a significant character growth of the protagonist as the plot moves forward. The young, eager, somewhat naïve martial artist from the beginning becomes, through trials, combats, and various (sometimes important setbacks), a much more mature, wiser and somehow detached person, while keeping his core values and passion for martial arts.

For the power system, it is based on the three aspects of Body/Qi/Soul, all supported by the various Laws of the Dao. Few characters progress in the three systems (Lin Ming does), each having its own merits, flaws and being distinct so there is not true redundancy between them, although the Soul-based system is noticeably less detailed than the first two. The underlying Dao system made of Laws of increasing power and difficulty is well-made too and also a significant part of the setting and even the plot. The only flaw here is that as the MC moves on to more complex and mightier sets of laws, the previous laws which constituted a good part of the progression get left behind by the author. That’s a bit frustrating.

The story is mostly well written. The pace is good most of the time and the intrigue is very good. A very strong point is the way the author uncovers the secrets of the worlds, as Lin Ming will often visit a place or a trial, discovering some vital plot points but not all of them, leave and finally gets a complete understanding once he comes back with a higher power. On the same account, most major antagonists are not defeated in one fight, but over multiple occasions. This helps to give a feeling of true improvement of the main character, well managed with an art of cliffhanger used by Cocooned Cow. Still there are two major problems. First is the ending, as like numerous others, the author rushes it and while it has a real sense of epic, it is simply too quick. Second, and this is the most important flaw, the filler. Indeed, especially between the first and last fifth of the novel, the writer repeats the information he has already given across the chapters, and sometimes in the same chapter. I understand it might a technique to put emphasis on specific elements, but you could take a third to (in the worst case) three quarters of quite a few chapters and keep the meaning and quality of the novel.

When it comes to the translation, while Hyorinmaru and Jaspaaar made their share of mistakes at the beginning, the quality saw a steady rise as the novel moved forward, errors became sparse after the first quarter mark and nearly non-existent at the two third of the story. The mood, feelings and meanings were very well if not excellently passed into English, and I can say that I’ll follow the next work of this translator/editor duo with pleasure.

So in conclusion, Martial World is a great novel and some of its elements reach excellence. The setting is great, the characters good and even excellent in the case of the protagonist, the power very good (although a bit flawed), the plot well written and the translation top-notch. It has been my favorite novel while it was translated and it will remember it fondly for a long time. Sadly, while I would subjectively give it a 9 out of 10, I must admit that the quality but rushed ending and the big filler problem force me to objectively give it an 8 out of 10, so a four star. But I can guarantee you that you can’t go wrong with this fine story.

P.S: Thanks to Cocooned Cow for writing such a great novel and to Hyorinmaru and Jaspaaar for a very good translation. And now, I’m going to start reading the sequel, True Martial World. <<less

What happened to tatoos, artifacts, formations, pills, etc...

It's not bad to have several sects/masters but if the entire novel depends on this then this novel is far too shallow.
He always fights other "young masters" and when he defeats them they're holding grudges and calls their Elders. Is there anything other than this in this novel ? Story is too much repetitive, as far as I can see nothing is new. He goes to a sect as a "lower realm genius" then other arrogant genius characters despises him and he... more>> defeats all of them then he leaves the sect. What a face smacking machine! Why everyone is so arrogant ? You're studying the laws of the universe, how can you be so arrogant ? You can manifest your will onto world and still holding grudges over a bottle of water. Those "Elders" are at least a thousand year old but still fights with 30 year old child. Also what about your wifes ? What happened to them ? Do you like being cuckolded ? <<less

I have read this since the begining of the translation, and I have dropped it.

This isn't good. It maybe for a thousand chapters but once he ascends? It drags. There hasn't been a likeable character since--and maybe--before. Though there has been 'cute' characters, or as I see them, the mentally ret*rded; 40 and acting like a child and another is probably a-thousand-plus and is 'cute'.

Young master are around every corner so don't go to a restaurant with a girl. Okay? Every corner, every corner, every corner....

One of the best Xianxia I have ever read, period. Doesn't really need any more elaboration, but I will anyway.

Martial World is one of the novels that created a lot of the tropes and cliches that people complain about now days. I've you've read too many xianxia, you probably know all the stereotypes already lol. However, Martial World just does the whole xianxia thing better than most others. It doesn't have any unique or special gimmicks really.

It's just a very fun and addicting read. So go ahead and try it,... more>> just be careful not to overdose lmao. <<less

One of the better novels here. OP MC thanks to OP starting treasure, we can easily see from the foreshadowing that he treads on the destiny of endless luck and opportunities that come with great risks. That's why it doesn't feel fast and overwhelming, the risks are... definitely very risky.

Also thanks to the writing that elevates the situations and makes you impatient to know how he's gonna overcome the situation, while it may feel dragged out for some, this is what makes the novel a... more>> good read. Rinse and repeat? Yes but done very well in different places thanks to good world building. It's not your fast paced level up and beating dumpstard enemies every 3 chapters. Fillers? Yeaah but if you actually read through them all they are much more better than just obvious facts. There are some things repeated that if you see you should just skip.

MC is a sensible, adapting and rational kid. Good cultivation technique and techniques overall, every knowledge he obtains will be put to good use. Fights are of above average quality.

I normally dislike harem coz they're usually nonsensical like the s*upid villain hoard in the same novel, but this harem don't at all annoy me. Not saying that the romance is exceptionally good, but it's more decent than many out there with okay interactions. Over 500 chap and only 2 women, so it's not a s*upid harem to show MC's might.

Now to villains, they actually fell short for this novel. They are just bad, s*upid or unreasonable. They are jealous of MC, then drag in more bad and powerful villains to deal with MC, meh.

All in all, a good read unless you prefer fast/no brainers. <<less

If you are a first timer, is definetely worth reading to get your base for more worthy stories but if you come from ED, ISSTH, RI, AWE, WMM, DE, ATG, MGA, HSSB... don't bother with it.

One of the flattest protagonist I have ever met. The negatives heavily outweights the positives IMO. World building it's pretty simple, the writing is pretty fluent and the translation is top notch; aside from that tropes are repeated over and over again, examples:

_Arrogant young masters and elders of whatever sect he joins (no character developments... more>> here, they all share the same traits repeated with just a higher level of cultivation)

_Romance is dull and repetitive; girl sacrifice something for MC (her Yin normally), MC start feeling something and get the girl and enemy wants to steal/r*pe have the girl to get his honor back or whatever...

_As the MC made the mistake to leave enemy C as a hidden trouble for him, you'll here this reference for 2000 straight chapters. (Along the lines of having learned the lesson from enemy C, Lin Ming will strungle all hidden danger behind)

_If after cultivating MC feels the need to find someone to fight to check his improvements, he will immediately find someone.

_There's always a crowd ready to downplay MC's abilities till MC last moves or till MC wins the tournament/fight. Then everyone start on sucking up on the MC.

_Authors introduce elements to the story like talent levels, martial intent and battle spirit just to later forget them altogether or make them irrelevant.

_Total absence of pathos. Some authors can make you laugh very hard even if the story is repetitive, some MC can make you feel your blood boiling when they rage even if the tropes is disproportionally used in the story/genre. Some story inspires curiosity or personal insights or even feeling of disgust and rejection. Martial World has none of this, it's straight up flat and dull. <<less
