A rare Douluo Dalu fanfic that truly stands out by avoiding the usual pitfalls of excessive romance or forced harems. The MC is refreshingly manipulative, cunning, and ruthlessly strategic—qualities often lacking in similar works. Every move feels calculated and purposeful, unlike other fanfics where hostility toward canon protagonists feels unjustified. Notably, the original female characters like Zhu Zhuqing, Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong are respected and free from forced relationships. Despite major plot deviations from the original, these changes lend the story a unique tone focused on power-building and kingdom expansion, offering a refreshing and more coherent alternative to the canon narrative.

It's been a while I've read such a perfect story. All I can say is Bravo. This book deserves more praise. No flaws. It's a solid 5 ⭐

Harem? A swordsman chasing beauty instead of perfecting his sword heart, how is he going to become a true swordsman

As someone who would find dating bothersome and tiring, this is the type of novels I like. No heroine. I prefer mc staying single and becoming ruthless, meaning he has no weakness for cliche plots

Not the best but it's okay! #1 Because I hate harem and it's absent here⭐ #2 Low-key mc's are my favorite ⭐ #3 The cheat is very good and useful also quite OP⭐ #4 He's very smart and clean up aspiring trouble, and remain anonymous as always ⭐ Lost one star because in chapter 94, the author through the mc said "Buddhism is really not a good thing" I was really offended as a Buddhist, I know it's a norm for some Chinese authors to paint Buddhism as hypocrisy and creating conflict or highlighting the complexities of human nature, but still it's irritating reading something like that. If you hate on other religions don't bring it into your work. *Spare my ranting pls To continue, Mc is not your typical righteous or evil guy. It's the #dontfuckwithme personality and I love it. Anyway it's something worth trying

A good fanfic in my opinion. It's really rare to find a Swallowed Star fanfic that doesn't walk the spiritual master path. The mc is a pure warrior who uses spear, comprehend the fire laws so it has zero chances of stealing Luo feng's opportunities. The writing could be said to have made up some regrets or saved us some tears because of the slight deviation and corrections especially in the case of the loss of human warrior heroes in the battle with Golden horned beast. I've been a fan of swallowed star so I gladly appreciate someone correcting those things that could have been avoided

I've completed this and waiting for an update. The plot is all about farming and opening blind boxes. A rare gem compared to those harem trash. Slow cultivation pace, Buddhist monk style( stay at home type), not seeking trouble but sometimes trouble seeks him but he solves it quickly especially when he uses those treasures he got to overwhelm his enemy even though he could solve it with his strength 😂 that's quite funny . At chapter 1000+ he's still at the late golden core stage but I understand since his cultivation journey was to end at the 2nd level of Qi training had it not been for the light rewards ( which is not your op system cheat but depends on the species of seeds you sow). He was able to increase his Dao bone only when he cultivated a Phoenix tree which rewarded him with a seventh grade Glazed Phoenix bone which is also average compared to those cultivation genius. So no complaints there. Don't be blinded by those hate comments, If you want something to read to pass time it's highly recommended

Acceptable

A rare Douluo dalu fanfic. I love hardworking and smart mc type.

Highly recommended
