Description

Rumor has it that at the end of the world, there exists a transcendent and supreme being detached from the mortal realm. No one knows what this being looks like, what name it goes by, or whether it truly exists…

in the Heavenly Abode—

Sitting beneath an ancient tree for thousands of years, Shi Liuli suddenly felt something. When she opened her eyes, it was as if she had opened two worlds, with the sun and the moon sinking and rising within them, and the stars being born and extinguished, repeating endlessly.

“Hmm? The situation has changed—”

She furrowed her brows, pondered for a moment, and then relaxed her eyebrows.

“Well, let’s go down and take a look.”

And so, the story of the descent of the invincible Divine Sovereign into the mortal realm (causing mischief) begins—

Hmmm, honestly im pretty disappointed. I had high hope for this series, vast fantasy world filled with mystery waiting to be explored, thats easily right up my alley.

Sadly the characters ruins it. Theres yuri in this, although I dont particularly hate yuri, it was as long its not excessive. And I think author is forcing it pretty badly that it essentially ruin the character. In this case MC (Liuli) is transcendent person that lived for more than two thousand years old and she spend 2000 years sleeping and meditating. But... more>> before that she is mortal who spend long years chasing path of transcendent and joining muddy water of Wars of the Gods. She is supposedly acting stable and mature considering all of that and she certainly does for a few tens of chapters. Sadly all of that background is thrown away when author forced the yuri element. She simply act out of character, passed out from looking at naked body, mind goes blank from le*d act stimuli, getting pinned down by weak mortal and sexually assaulted because the opponent is the yuri target, to name a few. Oh, have I mentioned the yuri target is 7 years old loli? To be fair, I dont really care about physical age in fiction as long the mental maturity is up to par and theres clear reasoning for it. But she clearly only a normal person until a while ago and theres no reason for her to act like that. And Liuli just taking that up without any dignity is frustrating to read.

End of rant. I still wish to explore this world but I really cant bear reading forced yuri stuff filled half of the chapters im currently in. This novel has hundreds or maybe a thousand chapters and still ongoing. I stopped around 80-90 chapters. If any of u reading this review and managed to get past of my read chapters and see things getting better, hope u can inform me through DM. For now I can only give this 2/5. Extra 1 star for the potential. <<less

Spoiler

I enjoy the concept of the story, its worldbuilding, its characters etc etc. It's a very solid novel with a good premise, pretty good worldbuilding from what I've seen so far, and the characters are pretty enjoyable.

I have but 2 problems with the novel, both of which are pretty big problems.

The first two love interests are 7 and 10 years old. The main character is over 2000 years old. Excuse me??? And it's not even like the main character is the one who is coming on to them, it's the other way around??? But also she kinda has no problem with it either? It just all feels very weird and strange to me.

I especially hate it when authors give their main characters (whether male or female) soft and bullyable personalities for the sake of drama. Like, I don't expect main characters to be perfect. I don't mind soft and bullyable personalities. But it's clear when it's entirely for the sake of drama or creating character interactions that are supposed to be funny in some kind of way. Let's put it another way. How can a 2000 year old transcendent/god be bullied by a 7 year old?? I don't like it when characters have no boundaries with people they're close to and endlessly give in to them, as well as not being able to explain themselves and stand up for themselves. This often also leads to misunderstandings for no good reason, another thing I ABSOLUTELY hate in novels. If there are misunderstandings in the story that could be cleared up just by talking things through and wouldn't affect the plot, and in fact are only there to create drama, I need to see them cleared up. Otherwise it's just pointless, irritating filler.

Like where I'm at, the children get mad at Shi Liuli for sleeping in the same bed as Zizizi. Why can't she just explain "we made a contract, I help her out and she lends me her power. she's from a different time so I'm keeping her by my side so she doesn't make trouble for us. this headstrong woman forced herself into my bed so if you have issues take it up with her."

literally, the whole situation isn't her fault and she has to deal with everyone blaming her and she just acts like it's fine and she has to take it. she has no temper unless someone hurts people close to her. idk, somehow even though apparently she's been through a lot before she ascended but she doesn't know how to interact with people? maybe that was her personality too before ascension? set some boundaries girl, this is just going to make people keep bullying you. It's fine if it's just for the moment and she gets some character growth, but knowing chinese authors... she's probably going to get bullied forever.

I also have one minor problem, which is the fact that the main character keeps giving and giving without reasonable or commensurate reciprocity.

I think it's mostly just WanYue. She helps her, brings her back from death, nurses her, spends resources to settle her and her clan, sacrifices her divine essence, gives away her merit, and... it feels like WanYue still treats her the same? I mean, I'm not looking for WanYue to magically fall in love with her or be beholden to certain standards because of what she did, but I feel like WanYue needs to face Liuli's actions head-on and at least make some kind of resolution to do what she can for Liuli, right? Isn't that how things work between people who are close? You do whatever you can for each other because you care about each other. But WanYue still seems to be holding the same state of mind as before her resurrection towards Liuli.

I'm not trying to be calculative or looking for characters to throw themselves at Liuli because she gives them whatever she can. Like, she made the decision, it's fine if she's not expecting anything back. More than anything else, what she wants from people is their companionship and trust. And they do give that to her. But I feel like what she gives up for that is above and beyond what you can normally expect from someone, which is why I want the characters around her to recognise how far she's willing to go for them, and make their own emotional and mental distinctions and resolutions. If they're not willing to go that far for her, they have to be able to tell her that they can't receive her effort. If they're willing to go that far for her too, they need to be able to realise that resolution. Even if in the end, it doesn't amount to much, the frame of mind characters have when interacting with her makes all the difference. It would feel a lot less like someone is relying on her while she contributes everything, and it would be good to know that this character treats her as an important part of her life and is willing to make the effort to be worth that much effort.

I placed my previous review in a spoiler if you wanna skip over it, I wrote it at a time where I was only like, 20ish% of the way through the story and it doesn't hold up anymore. for reference, I wrote that review around ~c450 or so, while the novel up to this point has ~2500 chapters. v7 alone has around 1k chapters.

now, time for my ACTUAL review.

I initially wasn't super hyped about this novel at all. It seemed relatively bog-standard in two ways - overpowered main character who doesn't face any problems whatsoever, and easily bullied FMC who's at the mercy of her love interest (s).

Well I can tell you now, I'm cursing the fact that the author (only) updates every 2 days. Putting aside the author's predilection for harem and very ecchi (and high libido) MC, I have to say that when it comes to worldbuilding and plot, this author is among the best I've seen. The solidity and expansiveness of worldbuilding is comparable to works like "Why Am I A Priestess When I Reach The Max Level" and "I Come From The Abyss To Save Humanity Today". Actually, I feel like in general I've noticed Chinese authors have mostly very solid worldbuilding, but that's just me. The author does a very good job in constructing the world in which the main cast travel through - there aren't just disjointed towns they happen upon, or any real worldbuilding holes to pick at. The world feels big, explained, and incomplete. That's really important, because the world is still building as the story is going on. It's part of the mystery of the plot for sure.

I also really enjoy the plot development. Essentially, this story is about a goddess who wakes up around 2000 years after the huge war she participated in and is exploring and experiencing how the world has changed. As the story expands and progresses, we start understanding how the world is connected to much more important and significant concepts and events than the huge war she fought. She starts learning more about these things, connecting them to things she knew in the past, and finds her way back to her old friends, bringing her new friends along the way, deciding to involve herself with the situation of the present. That's the main synopsis of the plot, basically.

IMO, this novel is a slow starter. It takes about ~700ish chapters for the plot to really start going; it's basically all preamble up to that point. Honestly, at the point that I'm reading, I'd be surprised if I've reached the 70% mark. There's still so much left unexplored that I feel like it'd take at least another 1500 chapters (and like 2-3 years) at least before the story is done.

Regardless, after a certain point, I was completely hooked and s**ked in by the story. It has a certain charm that somehow doesn't make me get tired of continuously reading chapter after chapter. It's not like it's fast-paced or anything, I think it's because the novel is so plot-driven - the characters don't move arbitrarily just because the author has time to kill and decides to write the characters going about their own journey. Even when he does, he writes a time skip! That's crazy! Usually authors love using slice of life as filler, but this author just jumps over it and gets back to the plot. There's always plot in the background of everything that happens in the story, which I think is really well done. The weakest part of this is the earlier chapters, where Liuli has no idea what she's looking for and she's just ambling around. But once she finds the plot, she's on it. Nothing she does deviates from the overarching larger plot that's at play.

Now, I think unlike "I Come From The Abyss To Save Humanity Today", this author is not a character-writing genius. The characters are alright, some of them can be a touch one-dimensional, and it's hard to care about all of them equally when there are so many in the main cast. I do like the fact that Liuli doesn't have the same relationship with all of them, though. Each relationship has their own flavour, even if some are a package deal, like Cui'er and Yu'er, and Yali and Youyu. My favorite out of the main cast has to be Lanzhi though, with Tiansheng being a close second. It's unfortunate that Tiansheng doesn't get much screentime. Initially, I wasn't too jazzed about the harem setup, not because I like seeing monogamy in novels (I actually am quite sick of perfect monogamy novels), but because I felt like it might end up becoming a bit of a shoehorned aspect. However, I've since come around on it. I actually quite like the idea of interspersing spicy scenes sometimes. It feels like a palette cleanser for a scene change in the next part or next chapter, which is quite an innovate way to use these scenes (since they cannot be actually written out due to site guidelines, they can only be partially written).

On to the elephant in the room - the overpowered nature of the protagonist. Honestly, I feel like it's quite similar to how "Why Am I A Priestess When I Reach The Max Level?" handles it. Nothing is ever too much for the protagonist to handle. And it's not the classic Mary Sue style of creating false tension where the protagonist seems like they can't handle a situation and then they Deus Ex Machina something out of nowhere to fix it. The character is clearly established as someone standing at the pinnacle of power level from the very beginning, so it's expected that there's precious little that can truly trouble them. Similarly, both main characters from these novels aren't trying to broadcast their godhood to the world (for various reasons), so they tend to keep their external power at a "reasonable" level and only use their actual power against enemies who are at or are approaching godhood.

Frankly, I quite appreciate this way of writing overpowered characters. Overpowered characters who don't know they're overpowered get boring quickly, Mary Sues who Deus Ex Machina random stuff out of nowhere is just lazy writing, overpowered characters who rocket into existence by being the ONLY person to exploit some loophole have that "I'm so special" vibe which rubs me the wrong way. Overpowered characters who become overpowered through the logic of the worldbuilding sit right with me. It's not like she has no contemporaries, either. Gaia is constantly hinted at as being at least equal to or even stronger than her, and Qiongxiao seems like she might be even beyond that level. Even Ailuen and Jiuyou appear to be roughly her equal, if a little weaker. There are even different power paths - the gods go the "divinity" route, which consolidates power in their divinity and divine core. Saints/Sages (idk what the proper translation should be) go the "path" route, where consolidates the power of laws in their path core. Emperors go the "nine-star" route, which creates a nine-star palace in their body and every star is a power level. One of Liuli's friends is taking the "immortal" route, and she herself seems to be taking the "transcendence" route, neither of which has been explained yet.

Perhaps I'm tired of weak to strong novels, since I've read so, so, SO many of them, but a novel wherein the main character has already completed her weak to strong journey, and is now facing world-scale events from a position of strength and confidence is refreshing to see. I must confess, there's a novel that constantly gives me flashbacks to how suffocated I felt reading it since the main character was always in a state of constant danger from enemies and powers much stronger than her. There was no break for 5000 chapters. And then when you think it's over and you can relax with the afterstory, the afterstory repeats the same format in a smaller form. It's terrible. But a novel like this is a complete reversal of that format - the main character can handle what's being thrown at her and the main thrust of the story is not about overcoming difficulties to become strong or protect what's important, the main thrust is about using the power she already has to figure out the mysteries of the world and play a part in protecting the world she and her loved ones live in. It's not a survival plot, it's a discovery/protection plot. I like that about this novel.

If there's one thing I have to nitpick about this novel, it's the glazing. It goes like this: Liuli reveals that she's uber powerful -> gasp! awe! shock! It's fine the first few times, but after a while I feel like the author could just skip over it and mention it in passing like "after the usual moment of complete shock..."

I gave this a 3 at first, then upgraded to a 4. Tbh, it's more like a 9.5/10 for me in terms of personal enjoyment, but objectively it's not groundbreaking enough to give it a 5. <<less
