A boring novel due to it’s unique conviction to basic common sense in a world of cultivation. You need to be experienced with and exhausted by generic cultivation novels to enjoy this. I loved this uniquely boring and repetitive mess of a novel.

Well, I usually can't stand xianxia novels for long. The fact that I read this past chapter 700 is probably a sign that it's not as bad as the other.

First thing first, many xianxia cliches are missing from this novel. The MC is not a cringe character that challenges every powerful cultivator that he meets, he would always try to avoid fights whenever he can. There is a kind of a harem, but the MC doesn't go around and collect any beautiful women that he meets; romantic relationships are the... more>> lowest priority of the novel. The MC has a system that helps him, but outside that, there is no plot armor, no deus ex machina that will save the MC at the moment of problem.

Now for the bad things...

The MC is a coward... Yes, the author tried his best to portray him as a powerful cultivator that appeared timid but actually calculating. No, he's not; he's just a coward; he would always try to avoid any fight where he can't win within a breath. There was a time when the system tell him that he had a 60% chance of winning, and it scared the sh*t out of him. The system always gives him quests where he can usually choose between two options, to go outside and declare himself to the world or to stay hidden in his mountain and keep cultivating. The system would give rewards based on his choice; no matter how great the first option's reward is, he would always choose to hide and cultivate. Even if the world is in danger, if he think he can't win he will just run away with his mountain.

There is not much of a story. He always stays inside his mountain, and most of the story happens to side characters. At the beginning of the story, there are some plots, activities, fights, and traveling. But after he makes his Dao field in the heavenly Dao realm, there is not much story. He would cultivate for thousands of years, stop, find out what happened while he was cultivating, do one or two things, and then go back to cultivating for thousands of years.

The pacing is kinda weird. At the beginning of the story, there are a lot of things that happened in the world at all times. But after he start doing cultivation for thousands of years each, the world didn't change that much every time. There might be one or two thing changes in the world every time he cultivates; it's like the world is waiting for him cultivating before advancing the story. Of course, it's just bad writing.

The MC is a psychopath. Yes, this is the worse xianxia cliche there is, and unfortunately, the MC has it. The MC only cares about himself; the other he will only care if there is no danger to him. And he definitely doesn't care about the populace, they can all die and it doesn't bother him. There was a scene where the MC is confronting one of his students for working with an evil cultivator that's trying to destroy the world and kill everybody when the student tells him that he only help the evil guy because he could then spare the MC from the destruction, the MC actually feel happy about the student act, not giving any thought about the killing of all beings.

The psychopath thing is really a turn-off for me, that's where I stop reading. <<less

Wasted potential.

Got bored of it.

Also the MC is starting to turn s*upid at this point (ch.389).

The first part of the novel is great. The interactions are funny, the MC is likable with his strong desire of not getting involved in s*upid 'opportunities' and his desire for longevity. Everything was good until he became immortal.

... more>>
Spoiler

From this point forward, his interaction with the characters that he surrounds himself with slowly dwindles away until they become the crowd to always praise and be in awe of his power.

I think the novel should've stopped around the point where he reached the Emperor Realm (the next realm after he became immortal). Why? Because his main purpose has already been achieved. His lifespan reached the range of trillion, trillion! That's a 12 digit number. I don't know about you, but I cannot even imagine a number this big, my limit is billions (I know, because I tried). Now, the author tries to push the story forward for the reason of becoming invincible under the idea of living forever... *sigh*... that's just s*upid.

Talking about lifespan. He got a system upgrade called 'function derivation'. This can allow him to learn secrets and other important information for the price of lifespan. The values fluctuate from 10, 000 to 10 billion. Sounds a lot, and it would be if this mf!!! didn't have 200+ quadrillion lifespan. The price of a billion is basically 0.000001% out of his total lifespan. Even if he asked a million question, he would still be at 1%!!!

Yet he barely asks any questions that could help him control the people from the shadows and protect himself for the whole reason of 'not getting addicted' to it. He doesn't want to die due to addiction, but guess what! He is is already addicted to cursing others to death that he spent hundreds of billions of years to do it. This guy is turning dumber and dumber the more he cultivates.

He needs power to protect himself, but waits for the system to give it to him. He made a mystical technique once or twice up to this point and nothing else. The only thing he does is keeping the techniques he learnt at his realm level, but doesn't cross his mind that he could try and make new techniques. For someone who comes from Earth, for someone who can easily identify protagonist material and avoid danger because of them, he awfully lacks any imagination that could, you know, make something amazing and raise his combat power.

... I think I vented enough.

[collapse]

When I began reading this novel, I thought it would something along the lines slice-of-life, people trying to get MC out of his cultivation obsession, MC banter with his master, but... yeah... is disappointing in the end.

You can still enjoy the first 200 chapters though. If it wasn't for those 200 chapters, it wouldn't be a 3 star. <<less

This novel on a whole is refreshing and new but it is written like korean novel with little to no description and reads like a diary or journal.

Everything kind of looks silly and stereotypical except the MC. System is a sus and op, not that I dont like op system but the world building is severely lacking ad it does not read like a novel but more like Wattpad story written by begginner even though story has refreshing concept

Pretty fun to read although it is a low-quality novel (standard power fantasy). The harem falls in love with the MC through a vain reason, he is handsome. And their relationship developed unnaturally/forced. The first girl introduced suddenly is so in love with him for no reason. Although, her and the MCs relationship is the most natural (kinda forced still) out of the novel and the only one that has developed so far.

The second girl that falls in love with the MC has an even lower relationship with him. In... more>> fact, she has a consistant forced (author forces it) love between the MC and her. She has barely developed any love with him yet he loves her just as much as the first (which mind you gave with materials, although in ther first meeting first girl tried to kill mc). The third one also has a shallow reason to like the MC but has the most natural relationship with him. In short, the harem is forced except for the third girl, for now for course, and should be enjoyed as a casual power fantasy novel and should not be taken seriously. I enjoyed reading this except for the harem but rhe harem is not annoying. <<less

This is literally one of the best Chinese Cultivation Novels. The MC doesn't fight all the time and only fights when necessary while manipulating the entire world. It doesn't has many cliché moment and is a nice read.

The only people giving it bad review are the people who are frustrated because the MC doesn't fight much and hides in his mountain the entire novel while that is true but every times the MC fights its always epic and the side character are also good. You should definitely check it out

Good story. Good concept.

MC is low-key and op. The world building is good and the ending is also conclusive.

The romance part needed more work. It's good enough for a normal relationship but not good enough for a harem.

Overall an enjoyable read.

This novel is uniquely different from other based novels in general.

BTW, if you are looking for an MC who goes on adventures in every arc, this is not for you.

The story of this novel is the same as the title of the novel.

Ejoyable, it can really make you lose yourself for hundreds of chapters. However, from chapter 1, 000 ahead, it is a brain damage dragged plot with nothing but 'fight' 'oh no, new last enemy' and again 'oh no, new last enemy'.

Average. Well although it has high ratings it has few readers so no surprise there. Compared to rating, most of the time popularity of the novel says it all.

It wasn't too bad actually it was low-key funny sometimes but the story is really just really lacking in plot. While reading this I have the mindset of I can drop it just anytime since the beginning but I still manage to reach 'til about 200 chaps because the MC's character is somewhat interesting. It's a mid for me. My enjoyment for... more>> this story was average the whole time. My reason for dropping this is I got tired of it, the plot just keeps repeating and without any twist and turns. The 'System' have interesting functions but the reward mechanics is quite boring, power concept is very vague there wasn't a clear in depth explanation, awful unexplained Dao Comprehension. This story is very heavy on cultivation but the realms are boring and the story didn't do anything unique about it.

Story: 3/5

Concept: 3/5

Enjoyment: 3/5

Characters: 3/5

Just finished reading this novel. All I can say is that this is a really good one. It is unlike the typical cultivation series where the MC will always be the most pitiful person in the world. The MC on this one actually uses his potential wisely. The way this series also take emotions into considerations is superb. It shows how time can numb someone, unlike other where countless time passed but they still remain the same. Good thing to take note of is the earliest characters still appear until... more>> the end of the novel. Some were forgotten but the majority still remain <<less

One of the best novels of this type. It's also one of the best novels you could recommend to someone just starting out as a book reader. If you want to read a funny system novel where the MC lays low, is cautious, and cultivates in secret, but when he comes out he surprises everyone this the novel for you. This is not a novel for people that want to see constant action. The MC basically for 90% of the novel is in seclusion cultivating the rest is just him... more>> coming out to save the world or save his disciples. The whole plot of the novel is that one shouldn't become c*cky just cause they are powerful and start taking risks, it's better to be cautious. At first we think that he should just go out and use his powers he's already the strongest right? But eventually we realize that if he didn't actually go in seclusion and hide himself, his powers, and just steadily build his strength this novel would've had a totally different outcome. <<less

Seriously this novel makes no sense. It started out fine, but almost halfway into the story and nothing happens. It's just the same crap over and over, an endless stream of people who all behave the same and come and go, all while the protagonist sits in the same spot and does just about nothing. It's just so uninteresting that it amazes me such a story was ever written. His character doesn't change, his actions don't change, and the setting doesn't change.

This one is unique. It's the story of the rise of our MC from Mortal to Absolute Omnipotence, he has the system which is mostly the reason for his success. The MC is very passive, he doesn't act unless prompted by an outside force. The first half of the story is still good, MC is more proactive there. But after that story seems to slow down but time in story speeds up, millions of year passby every few chapters. It became a bit of chore reading this at that time,... more>> but the story still has many intersting things to keep your interest even then.

Story,

From my perspective it's not just the story of the MC, but the story of MC, his Desciples, his descendents, his enemies and even the entire world (s). The secondary characters are the one whose adventures we get to see most of the time, even if only slightly. Also, there is something unique to this novel, that we see the world (s) grow. What do I mean by the "world (s) itself growing"? You will understand it if you read it.

MC,

Han Jue is a boring MC. He is charismatic, charming, funny, smart, ruthless but still boring nonetheless. He is not a hot blooded xianxia protagonist, usually I will praise such a character but this guy is way too passive. Although he still have his occasional moments of awesomeness which makes him bearable.

Characters,

The characters don't get forgotten, most of the time. Every character which gets a few chapters will be around for a long long time. Their personality though are nothing special, although all characters have their unique traits. The author does this thing where he would introduce a character as calm, or arrogant and also claim that he is secretly something else, secretly scheming or reckless. Technically, this should make the characters looks more dynamic and their personality more special, but he doesn't explore this much. So, they still feels like just a character with multiple traits and not a person. So, technically we have a unique cast of characters with their own unique traits, but they still feel pretty generic.

The World,

The world is one of the driving force for the story. Since, MC is a passive person and usually doesn't act unless he has absolute certainty of his victory. The world here acts as a plot device to the story to move forward. So, the times when MC truly makes his move is when the world itself is in danger. Other than that we never truly explore the world. Yes, MC goes from a weaker world to a stronger world several time. But he doesn't properly explore it, no secret realm, or anything like that.

Cultivation System,

One of my favorite Cultivation System I have ever read. After you become an Immortal level figure, the benefits of such a Cultivation level becomes more obvious than in any other novel. A higher level Cultivator feels Omnipotent to a lower level one. They can see past, future, all possibilities of someone with lower cultivation base. Time travel to kill someone's past self is a valid tactic between higher level cultivators. Dividing your will into millions or even billions and then have them reincarnate into individuals lives is something everyone seems to do. At higher level fights between similar level Cultivators, people bodies and even souls get destroyed multiple times in a fight and they keep regenerating and keep on fighting. Unless attacked by someone even stronger then them, all higher level cultivators are basically immortal and omnipotent.

Overall,

Good story. Good premise. A unique novel, you should definitely read as a xianxia fan, if you are looking for something new. The author is very creative with the abilities, worlds and characters. 8/10, not the best but definitely one of a kind. <<less

It started interesting, but as chapters go by this concept got boring really fast.

MC does nothing but cultivate in cave for thousands of years, there are no character interaction, only MC reading what happened to characters while he was cultivating then going back to more cultivation. The only time characters even appear is when MC mentions them to remind us that they exist since there is barely any dialog between them at this point.

Honestly speaking, the MC's course of actions are near ideal and in theory, what every other MC should be doing instead of courting death. However, as a reader, I feel that the direction of the plot is unclear and the way his actions are presented by the author is insanely repetitive. On top of that, the story references the aftermath of The Investiture of Gods and further expands on that which mean, if you don't have some form of understanding about the work, you'll be kinda lost. I think 3/5... more>> is a fair assessment for this novel. <<less

A passable novel. My review will be somewhat inaccurate because I'm writing it a few months after stopping to read the novel (I was going to read on, but didn't feel like it, and now I write the review because I decided I won't pick it up), so please keep it in mind. It also means the review will be less detailed than I usually make my reviews, and depend on my impression of the novel more than facts (welp).

If you expected a typical power trip of a xianxia after... more>> a quiet start, you're neither right nor wrong. Or rather, you're right because it is like that, and you're wrong because it's merely how each arc goes, and not just the start of the novel...

Yes. The protagonist keeps a low profile until he's absolutely sure he can stomp everyone else around him. It's somewhat refreshing, and the comedic style makes it fun, but it gets boring in the long run (hence me stopping reading). Therefore, I advise not to binge it. It's not that the protagonist is bad; he's just too passive. I mean, it's understandable: the guy basically passed away due to a disease, so it makes sense that he has an obsession with longevity and life. Sadly, this obsession also becomes his personality to a large degree. In other words, it's a low-effort character—the author could've put much more effort into him. On the other hand, I remember people complaining about many protagonists saying they'd keep a low profile, but then making a big commotion for no reason, offending a bunch of people and whatnot. Well, you can rest assured: this protagonist actually keeps his word.

Other characters are, well, sometimes interesting and sometimes bland. The novel adopts a very interesting form of telling us about their adventures, and I really enjoyed it. It's only a pity that many characters are so nondescript that I forgot which was which or confused one for another. Native readers probably had less issues with that, but for us who do not know Chinese well, similar Chinese names are easy to confuse. Anyway, don't expect any characters with depth —which makes sense because it's a comedy.

Oh, I kind of like the harem here because it's not forced (probably, I don't remember for sure xD) and women don't just stay around the protagonist, but go about their own business instead. It feels more like modern-day relationships that way. I think there was also at least one that grew distant with the protagonist, and it was also nice, much more realistic than all those wish fulfillment harem novels out there.

With that said, the protagonist does lack some real companions on his quest for longevity, be they lovers or just friends. Yes, he has a load of disciples, but it just doesn't feel the same (and their master-disciple relationship feels a bit shallow in most cases anyway).

The plot is a bit boring, probably because it's a comedy, which entails rather simple plotlines. However, it's sufficient for a comedic novel, and like I already said, I really loved the way the novel tells the reader about the adventures of other characters. It's only a pity that they are a bit confusing due to inclusion of minor characters that are easy to forget. The humor carries it a lot, but it's repetitive in the long run.

The setting is nothing special. I honestly don't have much to say about it (partly because I forgot). If I remember correctly, it had no particular interesting points, but also no major problems. It's sufficient for a comedy.

So overall, this is an average novel. It has a fresh take on cultivation (the low-key protagonist part), though I feel like there likely are some novels like that (can't remember more than one other novel, actually), and its comedic tone is quite enjoyable. On the other hand, it gets boring in the long run, so while I can happily recommend it to kill some time, if you want a novel to enjoy for real, this one isn't it. <<less

Man, this is the first time I've read cultivation novels that gives me a feeling of assurance and laid-back excitement. I am officially addicted and will be searching for more novels of this kind. (And I believe this small opinion of mine has a small credibility as I've read up to chapter 900, trust me and just read this when you're feeling bored or lazy)

When it comes to strength and talent. I believe Han Jue was the most strongest MC in every novel I have read so far. We already know that reaching the final realm takes a long time (required thrillion of thrillions of years before MC become sovereign)

The Lord of Chaos from Desolate Era even Li Qiye from Immortal Domination may not be as fast as Han Jue I don't know why I feel this way, maybe the ending of the story was a little bit rush, So I did not... more>> find it slow. Well, anyway I like the story, and it would become one of my top chinese novel over the years. <<less

Top tier providence? Top tier novel! THIS is what cultivation novels should be like!

The MC stays true to his roots, doesn't do anything besides staying low-profile, cultivating and

. Really likeable.

This novel is about the passing of time and the changes of history. No hotblooded MC taking revenge, no stunning the heavens and fighting for fame. Simply staying at home and doing nothing.
