A main difference between this series and other "game/competition/test world" novels is that most other series have a safe, normal world and an alternate dangerous world. In this series, both the "normal" world and the Samsara worlds are filled with danger and opportunities to grow stronger. I really like that the pace doesn't slow down regardless of which world the MC is in. All-in-all, it's an interesting combination of the Infinity and Xuanhuan genres.

The Sage Who Transcended Samsara is written by Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, my favorite Qidian author, and so I checked it out. I was not disappointed! The MC is a guy who transmigrates into the body of someone who appears to be a former aristocrat. The first mystery is this body's identity, and the MC doesn't even know his real name. Like the other web novels by this author, this one has two main genres. For this series, they are Xuanhuan and mystery.

Like his other series, this one starts off... more>> by establishing the setting during the first few chapters before shocking readers with a twist in the genre in chapter 8. The battles are exciting, the character development is smooth, and I love seeing the characters train hard to develop new skills (or else die).

The mysteries that have appeared thus far are intriguing and not straightforward, even leaving the MC at a loss until he gradually uncovers clues one by one. Murder and thievery abound, but the motives of those involved are not always clear. The suspense keeps me on the edge of my seat, and the life of the MC at his temple is sometimes just as deadly and threatening as his tasks in the World of Samsara.

The plot is still unfolding like a walk into the mist with me never knowing what is about to jump out around the next corner. <<less

Interesting start but quickly devolves into the same old generic garbage so common in this scene. After a certain point in this novel you can safely skip a couple dozen chapters and miss next to nothing in regards to story or interesting developments. My suggestion is to read the beginning books, then drop it once
