- Tropes:
Firstly this novel predates a lot of the translated cultivation novels. Secondly, It's crazy how much cultivation tropes this novel trivialises and does right, including but not limited to the copy and paste sect to sect "junior generation" conflicts that fill even highly praised cultivation novels. Amusingly, these conflicts are thought of as 'tempering' for the MC; the more pressure they're under, the more they advance (asspulls).... more>>-
- For social readers like myself, it benefits from a very active comments section, getting a minimum of 20-30 comments and frequently reaching closer to 60-70. And still going strong; chapter 145 had 71 comments. The full novel has 1600 chapters, so I'm looking forward to seeing it grow in popularity.
Negatives:-
- Cliches. To be completely fair, I actually had to list "cliches" under negatives, but cliches are a staple of the cultivation genre. Yes, it's the same basic start as novels like WDQK and BTTH and Invincible and ATG, where the MC is crippled but finds an OP secret item/cultivation technique and proceeds to rapidly cultivate and slap the faces of scheming fellow clan members. And yes, people constantly arrogantly pick fights with him. And yes, there's a high-handed ex-fiance-like character who he's targeting for revenge. And yes, his mother has a mysterious past and was forced to disappear when he was little. If you really dislike these tropes, don't read this novel! It feels like 90% of the negative reviews here amount to "*gasp* It's a power fantasy that utilizes a lot of cliches!" Well, I can respect that some people legitimately hate that, but the rest of you, just admit it, power fantasies are the reason you read cultivation novels.
Anyway, I highly recommend checking this out. If you love well-translated novels and don't mind orthodox style stories, you're missing out if you skip Sage Monarch. Sorry for the wall of text, by the way, that's just how I roll. Update 2019/9/1 (C152->C348) : The story has steadily improved, with a lot of solid worldbuilding, politics, and intrigue that made me much more emotionally engaged in the story. The first major arc just concluded, and it was extremely satisfying--the comments sections were on fire. The MC Yang Qi has solidified his personality as a guy who faces powerful enemies with a cold, sarcastic, and imperious bearing. He's used to being schemed against, and while he never hesitate to kill villains, he still properly considers the consequences of his actions. His realm is lower than his enemies, but his insights are so profound that they're usually unable to effectively ambush him or cause him to misjudge the fight, and his energy arts are so diverse and powerful that only overwhelming qualitative and quantitative power is a serious existential threat to him. Of course, he has to protect his family and friends and has various other objectives, so merely surviving isn't acceptable to him. The next arc is off to an interesting start as well, with a clever scheme by an enemy faction that caught most readers by surprise.
