- This author has planned every detail of this story. There're no coincidences, there's no plot armor. Nothing is pulled out of the MC's *ss, and plot twists slam you in the face no matter how smart you are. Do you think you know what'll happen next? Heck, you wish.
- Character depth? Oh yes. This has to be the best character development story in all of Qidian. The reason for this is the author's storytelling method. He doesn't tell a story about a person; his story talks about the world. Everyone is noteworthy, nobody is dumb, the MC is important but the world he exists in is even more so.
- The emotional and philosophical points of this novel. I don't know who the author is, but if he was in front of me, I'd kowtow and beg him to shake my hand, with tears streaming down my face. The point of view that he has, the way he describes humans, the philosophy used in his story... I cried more reading this story than I did my whole life.
- The protagonist. I have no words to describe this. I'm sorry, but everything about him makes me emotionally incapable to speak. I'll shake and tremble and cry and puke and laugh in insanity trying.
And these are 4 of maybe 18 points I can think of off the top of my head. If anyone can try to give me a novel and say... more>>This novel is the BEST novel I've read, and it's hard to surpass, with all the world-building, the storyline, an MC that's actually realistic, and finally NO ROMANCE... Everything was really thought out and was an exciting read. The philosophy behind the novel was good too, I know this is supposed to be a web novel, hard to learn stuff from those, but, the novel describes society really well, benefits... Anyways, the only thing bad about this novel (for me) is that after... more>>
- What's so good about this novel is that the MC is actually acting like a transmigrated/time travel character. There many novels out there where the MC travels back through time or reincarnated, and still acts like an idiot. The MC actually uses his brains.
- The MC is evil. Over 500 years old and he experienced everything. He will kill women, children, just about anybody to achieve his goal. There is nothing stopping him until he does.
- The MC doesn't care about his reputation or his pride, it's meaningless to him. He is willing to self-mutilate himself to achieve his goal--immortality.
- All the characters have personality and are fleshed out. None of them are those typical arrogant and idiotic antagonists.
- The cultivation method is unique and different. There is no overpowered Gu (where abilities come from). All the techniques have checks and balances.
- The pacing for the novel is amazing. The author knows what he is doing. He even said he planned this out for years. There are barely any fillers in this novel except for a few repeating information (needed for Chinese novels for us to remember).
- This novel has one of the best, if not, the best ending for each arc. The ending for the first arc was good and the ending for the 2nd arc was amazing. And the 3rd arc looks like its wrapping up.
- The plot is unpredictable. The MC actually fails in this novel.
- The world building is great; it's not overly complicated. Everything is already set up and there is none of the generic greater/better kingdoms or ascending to upper realms when the MC grows stronger.
- No harem or relationships so far. His only goal is cultivation.
There are a few cons. I'm just nitpicking.- The MC isn't well developed. We don't know much about his past 500 years of life, but the author may explain this later on. There are currently over 2k chapter available.
- Some parts of the novel are boring because the author develops other characters. The dialogue between other characters can be really boring.
- The fairy tale chapters can be boring. The fairy tale chapters are about the ancient history of the first cultivator. When you read these parts throughout the novel, it may seem boring, and irrelevant, but it's interconnected with the plot.
I love this novel, and you will be missing out if you don't try it. Not every person will like it, but if you like WMW, you will like this too.The MC is a childish villain that makes no sense. PLOT:
A reincarnator/transmigrator gets a second chance to relive his life due to his possession of a special Gu ("mushi"). MC is originally from Earth, so his personality gets warped in this new world that works on survival-of-the-fittest/dog-eat-dog principles. Despite MC's knowledge... more>>
