He does hide his identity at first but eventually tells the MC about his previous two lives, which I really liked. He's also the first one to tell the MC about his identity as the High Priest.

One of the primary antagonists, Liao Muye, was reborn and his actions inadvertently helped the MC and made his life better. In the original timeline, which is written about in the extras, although the MC eventually gets his happy ending, he suffers a lot.

I can kinda feel bad for the villain cause MC has it easy but well the villain wasnt that clever anyways

and ML xu.... still kept a secret and never told the ML so that pissed me off.[ about him being reborn But I'm pretty sure he forgot. since he only rembered 3 months. He's shown that trait throughout the book. so I wasn't really surprised

There's is one thing I don't understand which I find funny. The MC was so sure that this was a cultivation world in the future where everyone lost the teachings. And I'm like. Did you transmigrate twice? Shouldn't you just think the new rules are the rules? So I't pissed me off. He just believed in his own set of rules, the whole time and only believed he was right.😂

It was where I came back to the review section and the gong was Duan? Dude, when Yunnan said to a guy, who is decades younger than him, that he needs energy to plow the fields. That hit me. Hard. F**k... I cursed for a long time. Did the author just made a "fool" do that to Yunnan and Yunnan didn't even have any kind of "pleasure" induced in his narrative which makes me the more frustrated that the author didn't intend to even clarify more than that and even put more confusing things like Duan being uncomfortable and have tears in his eyes. This just made me think.... Has the author even read BL? Or any sort of prior experience to writing one?

like MC basically uses mind control to turn their opponents into prisoners-of-war and they can't disobey his orders

I would be the first to say lots of CN novels are racist (usually anti-Japanese or international sentiments) or misogynist or have a ton of problematic beliefs, but this novel, probably due to mishandling of the translation, is actually not really about that.

Yes, it was sh*t writing that the slums of the city got equated to developing countries (that was definitely not translated very well) but ultimately, the point of the story was actually the people in the slums (who were deeply misunderstood) proceeding to rise up and overturning the "wrong beliefs of the wealthy nobles, " which is inherently a rebellion/wealth-disparity story and not related to race.

If anything, it's more in line with uprooting prejudice against those in poverty or the homeless, that common aggressions like "homeless ppl are homeless because they are lazy" were quoted in this story by the nobles (who are presented as in the moral wrong). So those sentiments are actually called out and rejected by the main characters AKA "the people in the good camp" (cue my pleasant surprise).

In fact, the MC comes from that exact area (the slums) and then proceeds to basically re-enact the Communist Revolution in China (he got rid of/reduced the noble class and redistributed all their wealth and property to the poor) which again, had very little to do with race, and very much a Chinese communist thing. So no, there was no implication at all for black people or ghettos, just incorrect MTL terms.

Finally, please keep in mind translators are usually working for free and they are not the authors of the story. If you don't like the story, you are welcome to give it a shitty rating. But translators also have their freedom of speech to ask for higher ratings and not be disrespected for doing that.

I also liked how when the main characters took over the city they actually redistributed the wealth and improved the lives of the common people

One of the characters dying at the beginning of the story and being reborn into a child but still having a relationship with their lover from the main story, meaning there's like a 20 year age gap and some really disgusting allusions to intimacy.

MC is an ordinary person with companion beast which can't cultivate. Kind hearted and full of warmth and cares about people around him and tries his best with whatever abilities he has.

Later on he awakens as priest all thanks to ml.

ML is transmigrated guy with golden finger of cultivation techniques and understanding far beyond the level of this world. So he has an advantage as he easily overpowers the strongest people of this world.

The only thing that pricked me a wee bit would be MC is left in dark about the details how their enemies are dealt and handled by both of his strong father aka ghost king and his husband aka ml. MC is under delusion that he has to protect his 'pretty delicate spouse' and earn for the family but in reality he is being taken care of and protected by ML and his dad. So I am not really fond of this, I would have preferred if MC is also involved in aiding, even if ML has to hide his strength and his dad has to hide his identity

And I guess there is no much use of MC being able to recall his previous life except for being able to see through the masks of that pair of narcissistic brothers which he could have done that without previous life memories if he had bit more eq. But let's not blame him for that.
