Summary:

- Overall a quite forgettable work.

- Okay first half, boring second half.

- No interesting characters or events. Quite cliched.

- Happily ever after ending though lots of loose ends.

- Nothing particularly memorable (unlike the first half of TTNH).

Pros:

- The author doesn't forget about any of the characters important to the MC, in fact all of them stay with the MC through to the end. His harem doesn't grow beyond 5 people which was a pleasant surprise since it was already getting pretty unmanageable at that size.

- Cultivation scenes are pretty short and there aren't many of them. Any cultivation sequences are at most 1-2 paragraphs long, nothing like in other works where you have entire chapters describing cultivation.
- Exposition is handled quite well. We don't get entire chapters of pure exposition, at most a character will have 1-2 paragraphs of exposition which is usually central to the plot. Crucial details are usually revealed in the nick of time so as to not bore the reader.
- Story arcs aren't overly long. Nothing too dragged out.
- For the first half of the story (first few hundred chapters at least), most of the main characters are have unique personalities and feel like real people.
Cons:

- TTNH I feel is a very comparable novel - excellent start, boring towards end. I feel like forcing the MC into nonstop battles in both novels is just a bad idea in general and makes things predictable and boring. The replacement of exploration with fighting is also a sign that the author has ran out of ideas and that the novel world has begun to implode. Writing a good ending is never easy but resorting to cliched tropes like suddenly aliens doesn't quite cut it.

- At parts it felt like the author was just making sh*t up as he went along. Like the extraterrestrial demons for example, it was such an obvious asspull when aliens suddenly invaded earth and the MC had to battle all the aliens by himself near the end. There was no foreshadowing or even hints at the existence of aliens beforehand so it was just completely random. Similarly just random OP demons and monsters popping out of f*cking nowhere and we just have the author's word that "this one is the last of the demon race!" and then another one pops up a few hundred chapters later. Such bullshit.
- Main character turns less intelligent and more white-knighty towards the end of the novel. I guess he feels that since he's the strongest human alive he can do that, but since there are so many stronger beings out there he shouldn't be so confrontational. This is a bad thing to me since I mainly liked the MC for his pragmatism so things like declaring that he will destroy some sect to avenge one of his harem members felt out of character.
- Side characters aren't interesting. When the story is presented from their point of view it feels like when you have those reaction shots during an anime, they're basically just there to say "how is that possible! No way! How can the MC be so OP!" or "oh no! The MC is f*cked!". This becomes increasingly noticeable in the latter half of the story and makes the story significantly less interesting. The vast majority of the speech by any of the characters are about obvious things or just plot devices, nothing really insightful. None of the characters have any interesting quirks or any notable personality traits, other than trademark phrases that quickly lose their meaning as they are repeated. Actually in the first half of the story characters like Ziya and Nangongyuqing actually felt like they had some personality to them. It was mainly in the second half of the story that it felt like everyone became the same person and dialogue was driven mainly by events rather than personal agency.
- The villains are very one dimensional and stereotypical. The typical greedy and lustful "you are courting death!" type thugs that you see in any cultivation novel. I didn't like the black-and-white type morality presented in the story where the world is split between greedy genocidal thugs who want to kill, rob and r*pe everyone else and white knights who stand up for justice and freedom. It would have been better to have a more realistic factional conflict where factions are truly self-interested and regard each other with real suspicion and paranoia and not act in a cardboard naive-hero or idiot-villain fashion.
- Main character is put again and again into seemingly inescapable situations where he faces certain death (this becomes more and more obvious later on i.e chapters 700+). As the chapters drag on we hear more and more the thoughts of ignorant side characters who keep thinking "oh no! How will the MC possibly survive this!" but not the thoughts of the MC himself who is usually cool and has a plan - but we don't hear what the plan is until AFTER the MC has resolved the problem, which makes his actions seem asspullish. This is okay if done sparingly but almost every important event is resolved this way in the latter half of the novel.
- The MC is too lucky. In too many occasions he just wanders around and bumps into someone carrying a ridiculously powerful OP artifact and steals it not knowing what it does, then when he's about to die later suddenly the artifact saves his ass. This happens on multiple occasions. By the frequency of this you'd think people are carrying around super OP artifacts with them ALL THE TIME, which is obviously not true because they are apparently extremely rare and unheard of. It is never explained how the MC can keep bumping into these rare artifacts all the time when others never see any in their entire lives. I think the worst one was how he bumped into the last survivor of some race that lived over 70000 years ago. It was by pure luck and no other survivors were ever found. Seems pretty lucky to keep bumping into these incredibly rare beings that lived for 10, 000s years - the only ones of their kind in the entire world.
- Deus ex machinas up the ass. The most obvious one was where the MC was being chased by OP antagonists but while he's sitting in a cave he suddenly discovers the location of a top secret OP skill that he then learns and beats all the bad guys instantly. I can think of many other instances where he's about to get killed in a few days but suddenly discovers some OP skill or artifact that helps him beat all his enemies. I would have MUCH preferred it if the old artifact-spirit he found in the beginning told him all the locations of OP skills/artifacts. It would make way more sense than him just bumping into all the OP sh*t by pure luck. Better still would have been to just list out all the OP skills that he would get later on and have him obtain them systematically instead of just randomly having him encounter sh*t that just happens to be useful for the next fight.
- The explanations by the author about how high level skills work felt pretty s*upid - apparently you just need to "understand" how the laws of nature work and you can control the world, lel. If that was the case then all scientists would have superpowers.
Old review:

To any prospective readers, PLEASE do yourself a favor and read the first chapter before deciding whether or not to read this novel. If you like the first chapter, then keep reading. If not then you can drop it. A lot of the low-star reviews are complaining about relatively minor, trivial things like the MC pissing on some artifact spirit. Do yourself a favor and decide for yourself instead of relying on these ridiculous reviews (like the one by Kingchristian333). I made that mistake and ended up almost missing out on a fun and exciting experience.

Here's an example of what you'd be missing out on (from chapter 42) :

>“Vulgar, truly vulgar.” Wei Suo who wore his cyan colored ordinary clothes back on and left the house, also felt that he was pretty vile. He also felt not used to wearing a silky smooth female cultivator’s dudou. However, once he thought about that or his life, he immediately determined that his life was more important. Wei Suo decided to thicken his skin and wear the female undergarment and then change to another one in the future when he found something more suitable.

Hilarious and yet at the same time shows the MC's character and determination to survive at all costs. He chose to wear an embarrassing piece of defensive equipment (naturally, he wore it inside so nobody could see) over not wearing it, prioritizing his personal safety over his pride. These character-building moments are what makes this novel so great.

To give an example of how well-thought out this novel is, take a look at this passage from chapter 52:

> If you wish to level up your Purple Mystic True Technique from the mid-level Profound level equivalent to a high-level Profound level equivalent, you would need a minimum of four times the amount of Heaven Mending Pellets, close to thirty of them. From high-level Profound level to low-level Earth level, you would need four times again. That meant that you’ll need at least a hundred and twenty Heaven Mending Pellets.

It actually states exactly the difference between different power levels! A lot of other webnovels will just say "a level 2 is many times stronger than a level 1" without going into detail, whereas here it lays it all out nice and clear.

Also, the fight scenes are amazing and well thought out, the MC uses tactics both pre-planned and improvised, making the best use of his items at hand. The more you read of this the more you realize how good it is.

Also I have read up to 241 and it does not get worse at all, in fact it keeps getting better in terms of character relationships and interactions, the story gets more exciting and there is almost no text wasted on describing useless cultivation scenes and such. Very well written in my opinion.
