MC has meet 5 girls and each and every one got separated and then the girls get owned like this:

girl 1 was a fkng idiot that believed the MC to be a bad guy and broke up the relationship with him leading to his death (first chapter).

girl 2 was forcefuly separated from MC and then sold as an s*ave.

girl 3 was forcully separated from MC to attend a sect academy no info about her situation.

girl 4 was NTR and has s*x with another dude that meet MC and were forcefully separated, cant save her.

girl 5 a prostitute that was later bought as an s*ave to save her by MC and was forcefully separated again.

And this is only counting the girls situation and not the fu***ked up things that happens to MC. Basically each city, village, country that the MC, someone is coming to kill him and he can only escape.

Do you go to a horror story and complain that it's scary? There's a tragedy tag, what on earth were you expecting? Lots of people saying the title is wrong because of the amount of tragedy, but isn't a common theme in CNs that good fortune is followed by tragedy (or the other way around).

Some people are also saying the tragedy comes out of nowhere. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. But it would be weird if the MC was always warned beforehand, right? It's a cultivation world, every cultivator is out for themselves so it isn't odd that they would cause trouble for the MC. What would be odd is if the MC consistently caused trouble for himself, but it's not like any half-decent author would actually write that lol (looking at you, basically all CNs -.-)

People complaining about female leads and other women disappearing/being forgotten. That's fair, I guess this could be done better, but I'd hate it to be the opposite. They're are a lot of novels where the female lead stays by the MC's side and becomes some weak willed follower, or they could be more powerful than the MC and become his guardian. It's good that they disappear, they can do their own thing. Don't forget, they're going to live for, potentially, millions of years, a couple of years spent apart is fine.

Also, they're cultivators just like the MC. None of you would complain if the MC suddenly decided he had something to do and left to do it (which is what his wives have done) but you would complain if they didn't follow him. Because they're the wives, they have to follow? They can't have their own story? Bleh. Consider it an actual world, not some causal writing to enjoy.

Lastly, not every woman he meets is a female lead. So far there are two. I don't know if there will be more, MC isn't the collecting type - if it weren't for a certain event, he would never have married the second girl. He also felt like he was being unfair to his first wife.

I think the pacing is fine. there are some times when events fly by a bit too quick and I get a little lost but it's good for the most part. Arc transitions... yeah, they don't really have a beginning and end to each arc like you might see in other novels but tbh, that makes sense? I mean, must every arc have a point of resolution? The MC is busy, you know? He ain't got no time for none of your resolution bs!

I don't really have much of an answer for this one. If you like novels to have an obvious beginning and end to each arc then that's on you. I find they slow the pacing down quite a lot, normally I would speed read these parts - they get too slice of lifey a lot of the time.

Also for those who need clarification, the MC doesn't comprehend stuff, he has this bead that comprehends and improves stuff for him and that's just the tip of the iceberg of it's abilities. It pretty much allows him to learn anything, one time, after he had only seen a guy dodge his attack with a skill once, the bead fed the info to him when he was in trouble and just like that he could also do it. The most ridiculous plot armor it had was when the author put in this ghost character who only served the purpose of giving the MC the best info jade scrolls of almost all the fields the MC is to be part of, truly laughable.

What I don't like is the blatant waste of cultivation resources being used from his personal stash for the war. You know you require a ridiculous amount of resources, yet you still waste 1000 high spirit stones per shot, telling people that they shouldn't stop shooting and use all the stones they can. It's like a bad joke when the MC has resources to cultivate for a long time and then wastes them on a fight that doesn't affect them much once your loved ones are not in danger...

He also wastes cultivation resources on other people even when they have no way of ever paying him back. Generosity only goes so far, especially when you're weak. He also reveals all his greed inducing treasures a lot, which makes him enemies with everyone. Only a moron does that, and his yellow bead of good fortune can only do so much against poor decisions. He is unable to be respectful to stay safer like a normal person.

Even worse, when he does have a decent amount of resources, he "conveniently" does not cultivate and get stronger faster because he just wants to explore or something. Plot device to keep the MC weak happens over and over again.

Also, giving a fake name where all you did was switch your first and fast name is s*upid. The fact that this is a common thing in chinese novels is really sad. It feels like all MCs are universally s*upid.

I also find it s*upid when a MC intentionally leaves behind tracks for this enemies just so he can taunt them. I find that to be really s*upid. He takes a high number of c*cky moves that backfire greatly.

Another Unfortunate thing is that some of the plot threads get resolved in terms of enmity really quickly through a few chapters. All of those people that tried to kill him over all of the continents are killed off one at a time over a group of chapters. It doesn't ruin the story, but it leaves you slightly unsatisfied, even though thats how the real world works. Unlike other stories, the MC doesn't always kill off strong antagonists. He just finds a way to escape, and both continue living their lives until the MC runs into them again when he's a lot stronger.

Another thing I found weird is that people kept trying to kill him claiming he was a devil cultivator, but as the story went on, that stopped completely. Now they just say that they want to kill him for his treasures instead of lying about it, although he never stopped using that devil axe...
