Very good and humorous. The constant repetitive use of some phrases can be annoying, but the well-thought-out story and great comedy makes up for it.

Excellent straight to the end.

Starts very strong, with a MC that constantly depends on his own ability and training to better himself in spite of the system. ... more>>

Falls from grace swiftly nearing chapter 300. At that point all well constructed logic and sensible decisions are thrown out of the window in favour of forcing unreasonable happenings and reactions from characters. <<less

Quite a gem. Excellent throughout; well planned ahead, perfectly consistent, very logical, insightful and political, well-balanced magic systems, exceptionally written side characters, etc. Everything just... more>> feels whole and complete and when mentioning praise, it would just stack on and on.There are also remarkably almost no flaws I could see, which is very, VERY rare for long novels (for any novels, in fact). <<less

Good and keeps getting better and better up to the end. The MC is soft-hearted but forced to become ruthless and maintains adequate cunning and intelligence throughout the story. The characters are very well written.... more>>

The romance is quite poorly done though, as I feel might be expected from Er Gen.

Around the last 80-or-so chapters, some plots are introduced that are very forced, uncomfortable to read and uninspired. It feels like the author suddenly changes to someone else completely at that point, but it gets back on track around the last 20, so the ending is fortunately spared. <<less

Very good. The MC is constantly in pursuit of bettering himself and seldom actually relies on the system.... more>>

Unfortunately, he MC often has intense emotional breakdowns forced upon him by the author, seemingly brought upon by the authors own inadequate emotional refinement and intelligence, but it comes in waves and does not interfere too much with the actual substance of the story. <<less

Starts very strong, but drops in logic after about chapter 170. I might give it another try eventually to see if it recovers later on.

Starts strong with an interestingly applied premise. Becomes very droppable at some point after chapter 500. The novel's strong points and good, sensible writing are... more>> mostly discarded. <<less

A premise I extremely enjoyed reading about. Unfortunately, although it is nearly top-tier for a long while, it gradually gets worse and finally becomes unreadable for me around chapter 1577. ... more>>

This was a difficult novel to drop, but with the gradual introduction of such a lack of sensibility and logic I could not but drop it—not to mention the lack of any new insight, which the story is meant to almost solely focus on. <<less

The MC remains quite logical throughout and the quality of writing is maintained until the end. ... more>>

Note of interest: Later on, matters of manipulating and moving through time also comes into play regarding cultivation requirements. Thus, at the end of the novel, it feels like the pursuit of cultivation  has been thoroughly explored, even though it ends with unstated cultivation levels still yet to be pursued. <<less

Not that good, but decent. The MC is quite dull, and makes many obviously suboptimal decisions that do not really matter in the end. ... more>>

Although there are some matters that are meant to perk great interest near the end, and the explanation of everything, it is somewhat predictable and not really that interesting.

Considering the novel only being 200+ chapters long, it is difficult to find much fault with it. But it is also difficult to find any particular praise. I would only recommend it if you like the premise. <<less

Decently written and sound throughout most of it, but unfortunately loses nearly all logic within the last 150 chapters. It stays strong for long, but near this end, it is as though the characters just suddenly lose the ability to think at all. ... more>>

Some situations and plans explained near the very end are quite interesting, but also inconsistent and flawed. It seems like the author could not keep up with their own plans and sort them out properly due to trying to make things too complex for themself to handle.

Furthermore, there are very few insights to be gleamed from reading. Most profundities are just the author seemingly echoing phrases or concepts they do not really understand.

P.S. It occasionally has some good humour. <<less
