He is pretty much OP in this world. The antagonist come from Murim just like MC (from the empire if I remember correctly). So this is kind of kingdom/territory-building story.
- Likeable MC. He is quite ruthless and pragmatic, but it makes sense given his background.
- Nice premise. It isn't all that unique, but it is moderately well executed. I like how his father is a good person which is new haha
- Plot is solid so far.
The bad- Bad guys are pretty simple, and it is odd that is wasn't fixed already. It just adds some incongruency to the setting, like this big problem that was easily fixed only existed so the MC could fix it.
- Forced plot developments. Its a bit like above, but it includes his previous relationships, the people he chooses to train, the girl that spurns him to her regret, etc, etc.
- The complete superiority of his previous martial arts to current ones. I wouldn't be surprised if he could make improvements or adjustments, but he outright better in all respects. He will probably pick up magic and be better at that too.
- Randomly testing people, and treating them really well if they pass. Its unrealisitic, and would be better if he made rational systems that rewarded behaviour that he wants to promote, and steadily gained the trust and support of the populace
Honestly, the only thing that bothers me is the forced plot developments... more>>A world that seemed interesting now feels like everyone spends their time day-dreaming about Roman Dmitry. "... you are amazing...I should've listened to Roman Dmitry... He stared admiringly at Roman Dmitry... I wonder what Roman Dmitry... Roman Dmitry saw so far...." Chapter 185 has 13 mentions of the MC's full name.
19 if you only count the first name.
It's Murim meets western fantasy. I had seen the same premise somewhere before, the main character is reincarnated into a world of magic and finds that his cultivation knowledge is a game-breaking advantage.
Character-wise the story is pretty decent for a web-novel, the limited cast of characters close to the protagonist get a chance to shine. The author takes the time to show their motivations, actions and thoughts. If there is one major drawback to this... more>>
Hmm...
I'll be honest, it's too formulaic for me... to the point where the "twists" feel telegraphed instead of foreshadowed.
A non-pretentious man that keeps measuring the people around him through his meritocratic eye, implementing the betterment of those not trough "talent" but by "hard work" and their "will to succeed"
It's basically every single Wuxia.
Except in a "different world"
Where the difference doesn't matter anyway since it's the exact same system, the ingredients are just named different hahaha.
Since the MC is so perfect everything feels kind of dull "Immovable conviction" "Never ending will" "superior understanding" yada yada.
Be prepared for the MC to be slaughtering anyone that looks at him the wrong way with "1% of his true power"
Nice power fantasy TBH.
Although it follows the formula to a T making it a bit repetitive and if you've read these kinds of stories before, predictable.
"MIGHT MAKES RIGHT" is an apt description of the premise.
I agree with the_black_gift, he does come off as the "villain" explaining his plan to whoever, but that's the point, he's so powerful it doesn't matter anyway... he prepared so hard to attain 10% of his power for his first battle only to kill the dude in one swing and feeling disappointed, he's just that OP and perfect.
His overly kind and endearing nature towards "his people" is likeable so it does paint a stark contrast that feels interesting to read.
Being so brutal while at the same time having an iron set of morals make for an engaging character.
But a character "without flaws" does get kind of boring after a while, and the author going out of their way to reaffirm everything we already know by repeating the same set of convictions over and over and over again feels overly preachy sometimes, he is never wrong, he can't be wrong, he will never be wrong.
I'm not that into stories that preach so much, but hey! that's my personal taste.
I don't dislike the MC, I just find him too "perfect"... which I guess is the point... not really my cup of tea.
But I'm liking the characters, so I'll keep reading.
