I really enjoyed this novel in the beginning, reading Shi Hao grow up like a badass, being unmatched within his age group, and slaughtering enemies with higher cultivation. Then I took a break around ch 1400 for about a year to read other novels. I started reading it again and am currently on ch 1555, due to frustration of the story, I deciding to leave a review.

In my opinion, the story was only good until he becomes a supreme expert in the lower realm, where he was invincible and destroyed all his enemies. If the story ended here it would have been fine even though there was still some unsolved mysteries. As I read on, it's just more mystery and unsolved secret on top of each other, especially when the laws of time/space is involved. Why I became frustrated is because of all the god dang fluff the author puts in his writings. It takes like 2 chapters of explaining how Shi Hao's body slowly breaks apart and rebuilds itself several times to become closer to flawless... like wtf... and still he gets easily battered and broken just a few chapters later.

[collapse]

There's just so many repetition in his writings, constantly repeating past information like his readers are mentally disabled or have less memory capacity than a goldfish. There's like 90% fluff and filters and 10% actual content. We don't need the in depth details to every little unimportant things in the story, especially the rhetorical information. There are chapters that goes absolutely nowhere, where people that just argues back and forth the same dang thing, bickering on and on. Like omfg, these characters are thousands of years old or more, how the heck do they still have mindsets to bicker like children, a lot of them are even called "geniuses." They managed to get high cultivation levels.

At this point I am just skimming the story, spending 2-3 minutes per irrelevant chapters and maybe 5 minutes on the more important chapters; just rushing to the end for the sake of finishing it. I am literally skipping 2-3 paragraphs at a time every other paragraphs; reading only like 20% of the content and I am still understanding the story well. It really disappointing. <<less

It is good story but eventually grows stale. Its above average for a xinxia. But it does have too many young masters, bad ending and feels to fast paced many times. Too much redundant words.

Also MC is kicked down over and over. Due to his filial piety and altruism, he suffers day after day. He sacrifices so much for others often in futility. Over and over he is kicked down. His wives taken, friends killed, parents brainwashed, ancestral history pitiful and other horrible stuff happens. Its a good novel... more>> if you can tolerate the MCs suffering. Other wuxia and xinxia may have suffering but this is next level, more suffering for MC than renegade immortal/xian ni. If you fine with this you can read.

Funny and refreshingly savage MC but the MC is not that different from all the villains. I had nothing else to read while traveling. Some support characters are interesting. Any animal, real or fantasy, rock, plant, etc., can transcend and talk... Creepy like an old Popeye cartoon. All races react like psychopathic humans.

Very low creativity.

The story is a mess of inconsistencies, and one of the best examples of annoying word padding. Descriptions are so overdramatic and unending that you'll become quickly tired and simply skip chapters.

Many of the arcs are... more>> cut and paste. Read up to 1090 but I don't really care to continue. <<less

Ignore the naysayers who've read like 10 chapters. I'd understand if they were complaining about the quality of the translation and couldn't bear at, as I've made reviews based on that in the very early chapters. However, people trying to review a novel based on that is just ignorant.

Anyway, I won't get into details about the story and I'll only focus on one part of why I rated this novel so high. It was one of the EXTREMELY rare novels out that that actually had me laughing out loud as... more>> I read it. I'll admit it's rare for me to do that, even when I find something decently humorous in a novel, I'll just think, eh, yeah funny. However this one of the rare novels where I actually couldn't help laughing out loud. It's the MC. He's.. Well, he's the devil. However it's not an arrogance. It's just his absolute ignorance of how to act and his savage ways that had me cracking up so many times.

I will admit it's more or less (from what I've read) another cultivation novel, but man.. It's funny. Give it a shot if you like innocent but ridiculous main characters that cause trouble wherever they go. <<less

My issue with this novel is entirely with the MC, I can understand and deal with a dense protagonist, I can deal with a Klutzy protagonist, but I can not stand a straight up Idiotic Main character. I don't mean "mildly s*upid", I mean "Super naive combined with full blown ret*rd." He makes the most idiotic choice available to him in every single scenario. Every. Single. Time.

The only reason I haven't rated it lower is because, other than the MC, the rest of the story is good. The world is... more>> good, the writing is good and (most) characters are good. <<less

So the story starts with the MC being just over one year old. So MC starts of very naive but the environment added to his past family betrayal forces him to grow up fast with odd outlook on life (it's like a barbarian let loose among the Romans). The MC, comedy, and how the MC fools and plays with his peers and seniors reminds me of Meng Hao, which makes it very enjoyable.

I'll be honest, I really tried with this novel. I really did. I tried my best to carry on reading, but after a while, it gets to the point where the novel's main flaw affects how I perceive and read the novel, and because of the flaw, I am not longer able to enjoy reading it, thus I'm now dropping this series. I may pick it up again if I decide to at some point, for now I need to keep away from this novel for a while.

The start of... more>> the novel was great. The tribal setting was nice, the characters was interesting, the cultivation aspect seemed different, the harmonious and happy atmosphere was cool to read as well, and the mysteries surrounding the MC was interesting as well. Everything was fine for roughly the first 100 or so chapters

Spoiler

except the author's random decision to retcon the series and basically restart the characters outside of the MC's tribe after 50 chapters or something

[collapse]

But that was something I'm fine with and can ignore since the changes seemed to be quite positive. However, my main problem that I have with this novel is the MC's abrupt change in personality and how insistent the author is with this sudden change. MC went from an innocent, obedient and kind hearted 4 year old that still drinks milk, to a greedy materialistic douche that is somehow lecherous and le*d despite only being like 10 years old. While I was never fond of how he turned out, if the author somehow showed the gradual process of his transformation or justified it somehow, then I can somewhat understand and accept his change in personality. But the MC's change was just too sudden, and seemingly without reason. There was absolutely no reason for the MC to change so much.
Spoiler

If you exclude the fact that he had always been obedient and been a 'model tribesman', and talk about his inclusion in that time when the children stole the eggs of that precious/divine bird, that still doesn't justify such a change in personality. Not only was he not the main perpetrator/mastermind behind the trip (mind you he was only 3 or 4 years old at the time), the experience should have showed him the dangers of the world and how inexperienced/ignorant he actually is. Other than that one experience that could have influenced his personality, he hasn't come into any sort of influence of trigger that could have caused his personality change, yet after a few years of (seemingly peaceful) training in the tribe, he leaves and becomes greedy over all sorts of treasures and precious resources, even to the point where he baits people into going towards him so that he can collect their treasures and resources, and then even blackmail/ransom them from their clans. Like wtf?


Granted, the people who he ends up baiting were aiming for his own treasures first, so I can somewhat understand him wanting to get them back, and even with interest (ignoring how he was even able to come up with a plan like that), but when he later joins a new school and then meets with one of the school's beauties, he starts being le*d towards her. Like what? When did this 9 or 10 year old suddenly know how to be le*d? That's just ridiculous.

Then, some time after that, when he had managed to take some spoils (in the form of resources), he randomly thinks about his tribe and how he could share his spoils with them. While that's not bad, again, it's just so sudden. If, at the start of his personality shift, it was made clear that his goal had been to benefit the tribespeople, then his greedy personality could be somewhat explained, but it never happened. He had basically never even mentioned his tribe until that moment, a significant amount of time after he had left, and a significant amount of time after his change in personality. It's just ridiculous.

[collapse]

Were it not for my problem with his s*upid personality change, I probably would have liked the novel quite a bit and given it a rating of 4 or 5, but due to this significant flaw, I can only rate it a 3. If you were not attached to his initial character and can get past his personality shift, I'm sure this novel would be a great read for you, but it's just not for me. <<less

Story tries too hard to be funny, but is really not. And that forced unfunny humor ruins it for me. When I say not funny I am not referring to the MC being "Evil" (more like Chaotic s*upid) and how it supposedly offends my moral sensibilities and therefore "not funny". I actually love evil MCs (so long as they are actually evil and not just s*upid)

Rather when I say not funny I mean it constantly repeats over and over "jokes" that a really really not funny. Like "The MC... more>> ran towards the milk, while yelling Yi Ya Yi Ya and his baby ass was shaking greatly with every step. The Crowd then yelled: HA HA HA! He likes milk and his baby ass is shaking!" or "MC: Yi Ya Yi Ya Yi Ya Yi Ya. The crowd yelled: haha he is making funny (annoying) noises!" <<less

4.5 rounded to 4 stars. This novel was recommended by NUFers who convinced me to give it a try, Not ground breaking, not the absolute best thing I've read, but it's now part of my guilty pleasure! I've had a thing for pets and this MC can open a legit Pokemon daycare. Wish fulfillment get!

If you like animals, sacred beasts, powerful monsters in abundance, then this novel is for you. If you enjoy a particularly cute miserly MC, then again, this is for you. If you enjoy reading continuous fortuitous... more>> encounters, then once again, this is for you. It isn't a perfect novel and there are some pretty ridiculous power-ups and constant tropes in use but if you can get over it, it's an enjoyable read.

The world building is quite interesting. You start from a small 300 people village and find that there could be cities with 10 million citizens. And there are a few of them.
Spoiler

Then they promptly get wiped out. Whew.

[collapse]
The crazy thing is that the numbers in this novels become increasingly difficult to wrap your head around IMO. 1 li =500m, then they talk about 300, 000 li. 1 jin = 500 g, then by the time the MC is like 7, he carries 108, 000 jin?! The number increases as the novel goes. I can't even imagine his strength at this point...

The MC starts out as the cutest OP toddler you'll see in a while. For a long time he has that sense of naivety and innocence before he mans up a bit. I would say that this is one of the most dedicated and family oriented MC in a while and its refreshing to see that this isn't some shunned, abandoned, or bullied MC. He has a whole village that loves him and helps him grow. Some say that his personality took a 180 degree shift after he left the village, but I kind of disagree. Maybe that's also because I read up to ch 201.

Spoiler

I think he was being a ruthless miser because he knows that these people would not let him go. He's done too much and he actually has some pretty admirable ambitions which fuels his actions. He's a miser because he comes from a relatively impoverished village. Everything he gets, he has a mind to share everything he gets with his village. Yes, he's a glutton, but that's his drive to become stronger since in this novel literally everything he eats powers him up. He has a good personality in that he is one to repay kindness where its due, ie, Williow Diety, Stone Village, Great Vine Spirit, the elders at Heavenly. So I think his personality is pretty constant.

[collapse]

I enjoy reading all the animals interacting with each other and the MC. It's hilarious how they think the MC is even more alien than the most powerful pure-blooded beasts. There is that hint of reverence, fear and annoyance that most of these animals share. The MC "subdues" them in one sense but it's never a master-s*ave relationship which could probably be contrasted to MC's rival. (Haven't read far enough to really be sure) Our MC is almost like a Pokemon master!

I think this novel is enjoyable, and there are things that could be improved (the amount of luck our MC has is ridiculous) but it's a pretty solid read. Translation is fine and I'm looking forward to read more! <<less

Awwww....... what an adorable MC which makes me want to pinch his cheeks ^_^.
The story starts from when he's still a baby (I guess he's still a baby...a big baby :P) that gives foundation towards his background and character.

There is a goal set that the MC follows while having adventures and making every trouble he can make without him realizing that what he does makes people want to smack his butt. Besides being greedy and voracious his other characters are good. And when he makes trouble, comedy comes...... more>> can't help laughing and laughing... <<less

ignore the people who are displeased about his partial personality change later, it only makes the novel better, also the little bugger of a kid is still growing guys, you still don't act the same as when you were 4 right? Being all innocent and righteous, hes no longer innocent and has seen how the world works.

This is about a little guy who loves milk. It's also slow-paced in the beginning, but still an enjoyable read.

The word slow pace can not even describe this novel for the first 50 chapters.

But to sum this novel up, this is the story of a village kid living in a town.... Chinese xianxia style.

No harem, no s*x innuendo.

This is a feel good safe novel.

Reviewed this one after marathoned the earliest 83 chapters.

An unusual xianxia, to say the least. It started off great, with solid background and world setting. Its characters are unique (and adorable). Furthermore, the plot follows a clear path, so it seems like the author planned it really well, as each aspect of the story was carefully dug out. Still, considering the huge number of chapters, it’s still on its early days, and we’ll see if the trend persist, got better, or weaken.

An entertaining novel with a somewhat rocky first half that manages to improve later on making it into a pretty good novel. Worth a read as long as you can survive the beginning.

Most novels tend to have a strong premise and start to deflate as the story goes on. In the case of this novel, it seems to be the other way around. The world-building and storytelling themselves are pretty good throughout the whole novel and makes for an interesting read, but it definitely has a rocky start.

The premise is... more>> as you would expect, but the actual age of the main character, being but a toddler, paints a very weird picture to the point I found myself imagining him as a teen most of the time. While playful, his personality is more or less reliable and stable during the first dozen chapters, and while it might be because as a kid he hadn't had the time to form one, the sudden change after he leaves his home for the first time is too sudden and absurd, almost making the story into a parody of itself.

Over time, the character develops according to his age and his personality becomes much more stable and reasonable, and so does the story to the point where it almost makes you forget the rocky first half.

All in all, if you can get through the first half of the novel, it improves greatly turning into a pretty good novel and an interesting read. If on the other hand, you enjoy the first half, you might have to drop it later on. <<less

I do not like when MC acts against the people/organization that are helping them. Like when they actively attack to maim/kill people from their own school etc.

The MC here does exactly that.

... more>>
Spoiler

He enters a training dimension and does something that was not done before. The rulers of that dimension reward him for his achievement but warn that this is not appropriate. He continues to act until he is banished from there.

After that he enters a school that he was invited to. He goes there to learn and to use the resources to get stronger and to heal his friend. His first acts are to steal with reckless abandon from the school.

[collapse]

He is a complete brat. Granted he is like 4 years old, but the way author describes him, he acts like a 15-20 years old, regular MC of a novel.

Spoiler

The author also made the MC leave several opponents alive the first couple of times they clashed, after which the opponents harmed MCs people. I understand the author wants to mark MC as good, innocent and pure, but this did not work for me.

I prefer when MCs act more decisive, like when you see someone still show spite when they are defeated, don't let them go and invite more trouble..

new title of the story CRONICAL OF THE MEALS OF A ret*rdED HILLBILLY CHILD.

pros. 1. Unique cultivation system

CONS. God where do I start 1. Horrible unbelievably horrible main character

... more>> 2. All they do and talk about in the novel revolves around food and eating. Its basically a story describing the meals the MC eats. Even dedicating whole chapters to describing what the food looks like.

3. They went really outside the box and made the MC basically mentally handy caped. He's actually that s*upid no joke.

4. MC just pisses everybody off, waste everything even when everybody tells him how to use it the best way. Tries to charge people for helping him and returns kindness with enmity (like robbing his school). All because he is just to s*upid and ignorant to figure out these people are trying to help him.

5. Every and I do mean EVERY battle will be this MC "I'm going to eat you" enemy "your courting death" MC "I'm going to make you into soup now get in my pot" battle MC says "I'm going to eat you" ten times during battle enemy "aahhhh" attack. The details are different but that is literally all the dialog the MC has.

6. Any time the MC sees something that he might have a use for he goes "mine mine mine all mine" even if its garbage.

7. Every time the MC battles and he breaks his enemy's weapon the MC screams and yells "nooooo why did you break my precious artifact" since for some reason everything in the world is owned by MC.

8. They use the same words and phrases over and over again. Like the little guy for some reason the don't use he, him, his, or shi hao to refer to MC. Its always the little guy every time. As well as a slew of other s*upid phrases like heavens angering. That are used in a s*upid context as well. In one battle the phrase young deity is used like 47 times. Looked like young deity, fought like young deity, shone like young deity, struck like young deity so on. 9. Apparently the whole world is made out of boulders. I don't see how they can travel. Every attack, every action, every time someone lifts something or throws something (MC, enemy, or ally). They crush, lift, throw, or blow away a 30, 000 jin boulder. There has to be a giant boulder at least every 10 yards.

10. They tell the same s*upid jokes over and over and over and over and over like the milk joke. Later even worse telling every beautiful girl he meets there a fatty because there chest and bu*t is big and they just keep it going on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on for hundreds of chapters. Its like having someone tell you the same 2 or three bad jokes every 5 minutes without end. 11. Plot armor so thick its like the entire universe was made just for him. One example everywhere he goes everyone is for some reason restricted to his cultivation level.

12. Unbelievably vague descriptions of power levels as well as just about everything else. You have no idea what cultivation level anyone but the MC is or even what the other higher levels are until MC gets there. I'm dead serious his enemy friend ally whoever there cultivation level is never mentioned once. The only gauge to use is the MC felt he could beat them easily or MC felt they where more powerful then him or way more powerful than him. They sometimes never describe things and just give a name like everyone will know what a pi zu and peng is. Or they describe what a person looks like and give no more info at all name affiliation nothing. Then just use titles like beautiful fairy, enchanting fox girl. I feel the author wanted to avoid the repetitiveness of other online novels and be original and he tried to do that but failed so he just settled for being vague. these are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head and that's just 250ch into the story. I've just made it to ch250 because I cant find anything good I haven't read before. I also keep thinking it has to get better but no luck so far. The only ok parts I've read are where the MC doesn't talk at all like cultivating. <<less
