I really, really hate time skips, especially time skips that serve NO purpose other than to skip ahead to when the characters are adults so you can start putting them into sexy situations. It really cheapens the story. And then there was the scene of him dramatically throwing himself off the cliff? It was so pointless! Just shoved in there to give the teacher something to feel guilty and sad about. And after that is the MC's random memory loss that serves no purpose and is resolved within a few chapters. The first part of the story we get to see the character struggle to get stronger. After the time skip, all we get is 'oh he's so strong and amazing, everyone is in awe of him'

Man, I had to keep coming back and checking if this story would be worth it based on the reviews. It's beautifully written and translated, and I already fell in love with the MC in less than 5 chapters in. My heart kept aching for him, but I know it's all part of his character growth. It just felt like I wasn't getting any satisfaction at all.

I had to keep checking to know ML will turn around soon because he honestly sucks and is careless and doesn't deserve any of MC's love even if everything in the story has a point.

MC is super hard working, and can't really blame him for the selfish protagonist tag. He is honestly just wanting to survive and is doing his best to carve out a space for himself where he's almost always out of place.

I finally got to ch.60, because the reviews mentioned it would be a turning point and gosh I kept waiting for it.

I mostly enjoyed MC's cold badass arc, but man, after 60chapters of MC!whump, I was a bit dissatisfied and found lacking the "suffering" ML has to go through. Wish ML got more tortured honestly.

ML is in like 30% of the book, which I'm both happy and angry for the MC. I honestly didn't see any chemistry or sparks between them besides MC being doted upon as "the little one" as the ML liked to refer to MC as. I'm all for shipping shizun-disciple but I didn't get any butterflies AT ALL, even during their wedding night.

The novel started to take another turn when he suddenly lost his memory and turned into a bratty whiney young master. It was so interesting to read how our MC choose to turn to the Ruthless Path. Its such a shame the author choose to abandon this storyline. I think the author started something unique and very interesting, but halfway they just didn't want to finish it. It had soo much potential, but the author chose to suddenly make the Path of Ruthless disappear and make our strong badass MC into a playfull childish character. Such a shame.

The way how the bad guys perished was also written very quickly. It was kinda anticlimactic. It was over in a few chapters. I had more expectations after all that build up.

i felt how their relationship turned from master-disciple to romantic was too sudden. It needs more build up to be more realistic.

How does our Mo yu and Huabi end?! Do they have feelings for each other? Will they eventually get together?! I NEED TO KNOW! They were such an interesting pairing.

I needed more of the happy days after our MC found the ML in the side stories when the ML turned back in time. That would be so lovely to read.

The MC shows interest when he was just a young egg, and when he lost his memories and acted like a child. Other than that he just wants his Shifu to take care of him and exclusively love him, and it feels like a child wanting the attention of his parent, less like how a person would want romantic love. The ML mostly feels guilt and regret towards MC, although it's clear the MC is special to him. He's also jealous of the MC getting another shifu, but that's all the signs of possibly romantic feelings. They are very much a couple that are codependent and are somewhat obsessed with each other, but them transitioning into a romantic relationship from a platonic one seems like an excuse to be together forever without much scrutiny.
