The MC is transmigrator. His cheat is the ability to absorb brainwaves from corpses, which give him some fragmented memories and experiences, upgrade his cultivation talent, and as computing power to crank up his comprehension.

The MC is rather neutral good. Not a goody two-shoes, but also not killing machine. He's low-key without trying to be one or hides his ability. He's just sort of merge in the background in this world. He doesn't get everything handed to him, like your typical heaven chosen, but the universe did line up for him, creating a comfortable path for him to walk on. I don't think he's ever had any setbacks in cultivating, other than the lack of resources. No frustrating enemy either, just passing villains.

No typical tropes, like genius to tr*sh, broken engagement, arrogant young masters, face slapping, old farts with anger issues, and so on. But no noticeable hooks or gimmicks either.

It's neither good or bad. It's a comfortable read, but you'll most likely forget about this after a few weeks of not reading. It's just that forgettable.

Edit: bumped it up from three stars to four, since 1. I appreciate the translator team. 2. I love the horror element added. 3. There's a good deal of character growth as the novel goes further.
