Too OP that is really boring
This light novel follows a protagonist with the unique ability to see others' attributes, problems, and solutions, though he primarily uses this gift to pursue his own strength and that of a puppet he discovers early on, using it as his stand-in. This results in a rather one-dimensional journey where only the protagonist, his maid, and a pet—which don’t engage in any battles—advance through the cultivation ranks. Set in a pseudo-ancient Chinese world where cultivation transforms ordinary people into mighty warriors, the novel introduces alchemy and formations, which the protagonist masters to a "perfect" level every time. Unfortunately, this progression quickly becomes monotonous, with repeated descriptions and filler paragraphs that add little value and could be summarized as “blah blah blah again.” By the time the novel reaches its final chapter, it abruptly shifts gears, abandoning plot lines and cutting off arcs without resolution, leaving readers with an anticlimactic open ending that suggests reaching the pinnacle of cultivation is just the beginning of the journey. With around 200 chapters of repetitive content and minimal plot development, the novel struggles to justify the time investment for readers, ultimately feeling like a missed opportunity.
