There's not only one Union! There's multiple unions! These clans are only the lowest level clans! But wait, there's more!!! There's the human territory! With the top ranked clans! But wait, there's more! There's even stronger groups! Bigger territories! Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc.

EDIT: I mean, I don't think that's a bad idea, except I'm not sold on how the "scales" gets bigger. We're *told* he's fighting on a bigger stage (aka, bigger territories, stronger enemies, on matters that have a greater impact), but in the end it doesn't really feel that way because we never actually see it. I feel like he's still fighting in the same limited scope as he always did: only a handful of people appear whereas the rest of the supposed army/territory is glossed over and isn't even mentioned in the background. It doesn't feel like a war between countries, or a war between territories, etc., it just feel like the same old fight between small groups of a selective few people.

I hate that when you feel like your side characters are starting to be developed into 3 dimensional characters with their own will... You suddenly move into the next arc and they are just left behind. Then they become mindless background character that only knows how to accept the grace of our MC. Once they're past their usefulness, they drop down to one dimensional characters.

Like even though the author is always describing how the MC keeps training his team/family/subordinate, 99% of them never actually does anything to the story after their initial introduction. So the training is pretty useless to the plot. The other 1% of his team that actually help the MC and does something in the story... Aren't humans. They are mythical creatures or similar and are always "with him", but disappears and never says a word unless they are needed... So they are more like hidden sentient weapons, than true companions.

A lot of the weapons also plays into the same pattern of being forgotten.

Often, he would spend a lot of effort in a dungeon to get them. Were told how strong these weapons are, only to have them used only ONCE before we never hear about them again. And often they are not even used in any way of importance. More like a "there was a pen on the table, he needed a pen, so he used the pen on the table" type of way. It could have been any pen, wouldn't have mattered. The further you go in the story the more frequent it gets. It sometimes make you wonder, what's the point, then? Why give so much weight/importance to the treasures and go so much length to get it, but then when the MC uses them they are barely more useful than stuff you'd get at a convenience store? Same with many martial arts, techniques he inherits from lots clans of the past era. By the time he should be using them, the author has already made him so powerful that the techniques are barely useful, if at all. At best, they end up as being convenient (and cheap) Deus Ex Machina in one of the following arcs. And that's it.

Even in wars! When the author has the MC pretty much win the war by himself, the wars lose their value. It stop feeling like a large scale battle. Yes, he builds his own army. He talks about reorganizing the human territory so they have power to fight off the demonic invaders. We see scenes where he give them weapons and feed his beasts.
Except no one ever does anything because the MC pretty much solve it all highhandedly, with no sweat. And even if anyone does anything, it's off screen. The readers are given such a sense of urgency during the story about the invaders. You can literally feel the time bomb ticking, and it felt like it could have exploded at any moment. The tension is set up so high for the climax... Except the climax feels so anti climatic. Where has the sense of urgency gone to? What about that border that was set to collapse "very soon", and thus urged the MC to get stronger? What about all that talk about training your troops to get stronger because they would never hold off the invaders otherwise... Only to never have those trained people do anything, literally, ever?

First realm takes 2300 chapters, the second takes about 50 and the last realm takes like 1 chapter if we're being generous.

I think the second realm was supposed to be the big mystery + finale, the author just had no idea how to wrap it up.

A more appropriate title would have been "Sovereign of One Realm and the 50 Chapters of Epilogue that Attempts to Wrap Up its Premise"

strong practitioner gets to inhabit the body of a weak character that dies because of its s*upidity or misfortune and nobody sees any difference when the character suddenly changes

Women start to do anything for him, even if it meant r*pe. Oh, I should also add that one of them includes her own disciples and another one her sister.

He is "special". How special? He read everything. No really, everything. Playboy, Hustler, you name it. Thousands of prodigies were trained by him. He is better than anyone and is able to fight against other cultivators even if they are more than one realm above him. What does it mean? From not being able to put up a fight with someone a LEVEL above you, he suddenly manages to beat cultivators two realm higher. His is already the sovereign of the Three Realms when it comes to his pride and self esteem. You all should known about plot armor. This one has something different. Very different. I call it, memory armor. How so? If sh*t happens, he needs two seconds to remember where he read that sh*t and how to resolve it. Yeeeah, I love that kind of reasoning.

Inconsistency. From the scary emperor that has a strong personality and a clever mind, later on he becomes some sort of vegetable that makes simple mistakes. From a spiritual vein in fields owned by our protagonist family that may be a huge danger, we go to the civil war. To a kingdom where those that reach the eleventh level of the first realm are considered some sort of rarity we find out that the kingdoms around them have a lot of cultivators two realms higher than their rarity and for some reason never decide to attack them. Cultivation is a joke, he somehow finds a shortcut, makes a big point about not disclosing the means, but later on he starts giving it left and right. His best friends simply become some old memories about debauchery. And with the new arc we get the true plot armor. Sincerely, I'm just reading it because its on wuxiaworld.

Pros:
* Writing isn't bad and the MC is not a mass murdering ret*rd.
* Story starts of very well, with emphasis placed on martial arts and excellent battles,

Cons:
* Battles have become very bland and very boring.
* The novel right now has devolved into MC worshipping:

Jiang Chen. Chen. Jiang. Jiang Chen. Chen? Jiang!? Jiang Chen. Jian Chen. Chen. Jiang. Jiang Chen. Chen? Jiang!? Jiang Chen. Jian Chen. Chen. Jiang. Jiang Chen. Chen? Jiang!? Jiang Chen. Jian Chen. Chen. Jiang. Jiang Chen. Chen? Jiang!? Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen.

Every one is bending over to lick MC's boots and as you can see, its not very interesting.

And can someone actually explain to me what was the deal with the 12th level of true qui realm? Jian Chen basically said that he knew that there was another level to the true qui realm and that it would allow him to be stronger in the spirit realm, but by the end of the chapter he said that the level doesn't exist... AND HE DIDN'T KNOW IT BEFORE!? There's a limit to filler!

Seriously, I'm beginning to think that his bodyguard team was filler too, they were used in one arc and never did anything useful to the story, the two brothers even acted as 'damsels in distress' because why not? Better not to have anyone else remotely competent.
