Plunge the weak mortals in horrors;
Arms of gods and blades of devils,
Shroud the world in untold evils.
Lu Sheng was an ordinary civil servant in the modern world. After waking from a drunken stupor one day, he found himself trapped in a dangerous world where demons, ghosts and supernatural monsters terrorize the land.
In this world, ordinary mortals live in dark fear and helplessness, without any means to fight against the supernatural.
As Lu Sheng struggles desperately for survival, he stumbles upon a game mod he had designed for a mobile phone app in his previous life. It unexpectedly becomes his special ability, which enables him to instantly level up any skill he learns, albeit at a cost.
Thus, Lu Sheng begins his journey, striving for power beyond the reach of a mortal as he treads the way…of the Devil…

Well after reading 800 chapters i'd say the novel went from master piece to mediocre. The transmigration although most jumps have great settings the execution failed miserably. The goal and how the MC goes on dealing with problems after each transmigration are recycled now. I can't help feeling Get Lost cannot break out of his bubble of story writing and include many more aspects of fantasy than just punching everything that he cannot solve. Also the character are forgettable and its not helping when authors chooses to write various characters in a dozen chapters arc than scrap them up for next transmigration arc. You can actually ignore the transmigration arc and just jump to the chapter where he returns back to the main world and you will miss literally nothing. All n all this novel would be far better if author didn't throw out the worlds and its characters and somehow made use of them.
I kept on reading after c69 and it turns out that the story doesn't fall off that hard. I'm reading c215 right now and the story is still pretty well-woven. I'm not seeing any fall off in consistency of storytelling here. The characterization is still decent and story itself is a good mix of action and intrigue - in particular the revelation that all Noble blood is based off of the Divine Weapons. Let's see how it plays out. 4 stars for now.
I can't f*cking believe the MC just up and killed a sect member for literally NO REASON other than her uncle not allowing the MC to have the lands which were originally assigned to her. This MC is one greedy motherf*cker! As soon as he doesn't get what he wants, he starts killing everyone in his way even though they've done nothing wrong!
This was completely out of character for him and has never happened before. Even the MC in Great Demon King was not this rash! This is like something straight out of a shitty 3rd rate xianxia tr*sh.
I'm downgrading this novel to 3 stars because of it.
Firstly, ignore the 1 star ratings. This novel deserves no less than 4 stars. From the first 10 chapters alone, judging from how well the setting has been thought out, the level and depth of characterization, the realism and the knack for tension-building that the author has displayed, it's obvious that unless the author messes up really badly later on, this is a 5 star novel.
Now, finally a MC with some common sense!
This is clearly a MC who takes things seriously, does not underestimate others, and prefers staying away from unknown risk than going towards it.
The fact that the world is dangerous provides the main motivation for the MC to get stronger. Throughout the first 10 chapters, the dangerousness of the world has been demonstrated through "showing" rather than "telling". For example, the death of the entire Xu family for no apparent reason, the burning down of the restaurant, ghostly hallucinations that the MC experienced before the restaurant burned down. Everything comes together to build increasing tension, like each wave being followed by a bigger wave.
The way in which the MC regarded his first kill is worthy of note. In most run of the mill xianxia novels, the author would usually spend a few words justifying the killing, and most likely a few more sentences describing how awed the onlookers are by how amazing the MC's skills are. However, in this novel, the MC feels turmoil at killing for the first time, and immediately reflects on the consequences of his killing, namely that he exposed his martial arts skills, which he intended to keep hidden. This scenario was unavoidable, however, since his guards were incompetent and he would have been killed if he had not used his martial arts to defend himself. It is telling that his first thoughts after the killing were
'The good thing is, the Black Tiger Saber Technique moves are unique and distinctive. With a bit of investigation, they'll be able to clearly trace them back to Uncle Zhao. That's not such a big deal, but I've got to be careful in the future... '
All in all, a fantastically well thought out novel. The characters are not only realistic and thoughtful, but also the plot is exciting and the tension is expertly built throughout. I will update this review as I read more chapters.
The MC Lu Sheng is no saint instead his behavior highly mirrors the depictions of western devils apathetic and striving for a certain goal. The MC is also not evil, because even after the experiences he had went through, Lu Sheng maintains his humanity (even though his real self is a deformed giant spiked man with thick tail and shark like jawline). The true goal that he strives for from what I can tell is to give the rest of humanity a "way" to follow so that they can attain strength similar to supernatural beings (noblemen included). His personality is for some reason very likable, because he never makes any mistakes you would find the MC would make for more drama and he never gets out of his character. But he is an angry man, and you won't like when he is angry. Power System-
The power system is pretty unique and feels devilish, so I may assume that this system is unique to Lu Sheng's current continent.
The main power system comprises of 7-level of veins and 9-levels of snake. The main focus of strength and the potential one contains depends on the strength of the bloodline he/she carries and exceeding the cultivation level to fight people on the upper stage is not unique in this world due to it. The Dilute bloodline may destroy the potential of people and the only way to strengthen is to take help from Devil blade or holy swords and carry out blood sacrifices to imbued the strength from those said blades..... in the end its borrowed strength.
The best part of the story is that the MC Lu Sheng doesn't have any bloodline..... but..
In later chapters around 220, the MC uses his pathetic sects devil cultivation technique to create or forcefully extract the nobleman genes present in all of humanity, which for him was able to burn a piece of paper at the peak of his cultivation (pretty pathetic bloodline). But this doesn't matters to him, his new goal is to surpass the Devil blades with his body alone because he doesn't believe in borrowed strength for which he would need to carry out blood sacrifices on innocent people.
Characters.... Some characters are good like the MC's bodyguards, his employer and even the bro he made even before becoming the mafia boss, while others are outright disgusting (their habits not their nature). The good guys in this story are never actually good, but they feel more like humans striving for profit and accumulating power and the moment these good guys know about MC and his strength, they will kill him. They would feel bad or remorse of loosing a good pawn, but they will kill him or even cook him into a delicacy and then eat his meat in a feast. As Cannibalism is a huge part in this story and the details are stomach churning.
I loved the MC's family. They felt like true spoiled brats who f*cks like rabbits (A little bit in*est).
In ch95 or something, MC's brother disappears and is found later as a decomposing corpse filled with maggots causing MC's step mother to blame him (he was to blame) and spouting bad sh*t in madness, what does Lu Sheng do?.....l He bit*h slapped his mother!! seriously.... that's some bad-ass
The earlier chapters contained mysticism and dread as the world Lu Sheng was living in was shrouded in mystery, hence due to it, the story felt surreal and contained horror elements, just due to it, even a supernatural organisation of 2 felt like unsurpassable mountain. But due to MC's cheat he was able to train fast and end the arc early. And it also never felt rushed as the author squeezed out all the potential of a given arc.
His never ending accumulation of subordinates is also enjoying to look at, how he maintains their loyalty (with fist). And how he uses them.
The best part of the story is that, the world doesn't revolve around Lu Sheng, there are people doing their own thing out int he world cut-off of him, I know that soon enough MC will come into picture like a big bear demon out to kill people, but it is nice to know the world from the point of view from others. Well The end..... TL;DR!!
