Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Just as a gamer found an overpowered skill book called ‘Item Upgrade’ in the hottest virtual reality role-playing game on Earth, something happened to the game’s system, causing his soul to leave his body and go to another dimension. Common sense dictates that he would be born anew then become the greatest overlord of this world by making use of his advanced knowledge. Not in this case! He was already dead. Only some fragments of his soul and that skill book managed to get into that dimension and merge with an ordinary common youngster called Bai Yunfei.
This was the enormous Tianhun continent, where humans could be said to have no limits. There was a group of humans here who could cultivate the power of their own souls then control their bodies, the natural elements and even other people’s souls with that power! These special beings were called — soul cultivators. Come witness how the several fragments of the dead inter-dimensional traveler’s soul and that skill book, which was not governed by the laws of this plane, were going to help Bai Yunfei become a legendary soul cultivator and craftsman!

Simple and bland story. It is as average and uninteresting as it gets. I like the concept of giving the MC a upgrade ability like in RPGs but author just can't pull it off.
Not much foreshadowing to keep readers in suspense nor plot reversals to keep things interesting. As mentioned before, the story is pretty much straightforward. It does get too repetitive quite often, author just can't come up with interesting ideas.
MC is "meh". Personally I don't really like his character. He is naive, careless, not very intelligent and has a strong sense of justice. He gets OP with all the upgrade gear he equips and pretty much wins fights though a few were close calls.
The battles themselves aren't very creative. Its your typically shounen styled battle (i.e One Piece, Bleach). Exchange a few moves, MC on the losing side, then final 1 hit K.O. Showdown and win.
Romance wise, its pretty flat, don't expect too much from it. MC is monogamy guy though. What annoys me the most is how an entire 2 volumes are spent on MC trying to save his kidnapped girlfriend. Extremely boring and excruciating to read. Its like the villains are too s*upid and can only think of 1 way to attack the MC and that's by kidnapping his girl, using the same strategy repeatedly. Add to the fact the the MC's companions are incompetent and can't protect a single girl. Novel has 8 volumes so literally 1/4 of the novel is about saving the princess cinderella.
On the flip side, the only reason this novel is worth reading is because its quite short around 1300 chapters.
This is probably my favorite Xianxia novel, it is horribly underrated sadly, but it has a lot more to offer than it is given credit for, the one thing that this novel does that sooooo many others don't, is have a positive outlook on humanity. The people in the world of upgrade specialist are real, they aren't the contrived a**holes of most Xianxia, their are an equal or greater number of good people as compared to the number of self absorbed a**holes, not everyone in this world is out for number one, and ordinary people aren't just ants underfoot.
The writing style of this novel is a tad different to most Xianxia, it reads more like a Japanese fantasy webnovel at times with its heavy references to online gaming and general gaming culture, the unique situation that the protagonist is in lends to the comedy as sometimes he makes references to things he doesn't understand out of reflex due to the memories he has gained from the failed world hopper.
The characters of this novel are many and interesting, they do fill tropes at times but never in an obnoxiously horrible way. The fact that a character that is introduced in the first 10 chapters doesn't come into the limelight until volume 5 shows the forethought and story boarding this series' author went to.
The combat in this series is leaps and bounds better than I have seen in basically any other novel, western or eastern, the fights are well thought out letting our MC use all of his varied abilities and peculiar upgrade affects to their best potential. The fights are described below by blow right down to the emotional reactions of the characters, and there is very little of the peanut gallery mouthing off on the side as is common in Xianxia.
The upgrade technique itself is worth mentioning, the way it creatively blends game like affects into weapons and items being used by real people makes you really think about some of the uses for the items, one example being a dapper that does double damage if attract the same place twice, and double again for a third attack etc. This isn't something that would work in a video game as you don't have that kind of fine control in games, but in real life that kind of cheat like affects would be insane, especially considering poepl don't have health bars and damage basically directly correlated to the amount of pain the enemy feels.
This is a great novel and I can't explain how awesome it is here, go read it!
the very first chapter. Drop any reason out, accept whathappen-is-whathappen, and enjoy the rest.
