edit: from 3*->5* - later on some things are explained and alot of cool stuff added, like second transmigrator who has his own kinda cheat different from Mc - bio chip like wmw, but he makes me has XO nice system/cheat/golden finger. sorta like in way of the devil~. but the power system is boring~ish and not feeling right to me - first blood qi then bones then body like what? also there's 'weird' but doesn't seem like there're immortal/magic means? only 'blood qi' also inner qi ? isn't explained the hell it is~ also in city there're lu family Li family and Lin family and there's some fight between em and it's confusing. hey atleast he didn't add also Liu Lei and lian families eh...
nice~ish idea, but details are meh idk... abit unclear what vitality what's hp, interchanging in translation perhaps? and overall doesn't catch my interest much... I'd rather have some plots where he's somewhat pushed and takes advantage and kills them at night. also/but starts at imperial capital so that's difficult... that's why it's better to start in a small town or even village, prolly town for that kinda thing, so Mc doesn't fear the heavens come crashing on him and he can run and have a similar level of prospects in the future probably/hopefully. Also a classical ~oil bottle ish grandpa for whom we expect to care for with Mc. we'll atleast it's not a beautiful little sister which might or might not be adopted to serve as an ambiguous side dish urghhh 🤮 ~ btw what did Cristina or whatever say about religion??..
I wish author exp his character's exp
so, when u start reading this novel, it might feel like a 5 star one (potential?) or even, for a fanfic wn 10/10 maybe even 11 or 10.5~ out of 10. now why? what does it have? well, firstly 1 Mc doesn't start in konoha, sorta, so that's already a good one - fresh, different, novel! (hehe *"novel"*) secondly 2 the title implies swordsmanship focus and even 'era' - where presumably we could anticipate Mc maybe creating a new 'meta' for ninjas with swordsmanship focus. unfortunately that doesn't happen. in the beginning tho Mc focuses hard on swordsmanship and even studies abit under mifune and makes swordsmanship his personal go to offensive method against powerful foes and even creates many swordsmanship techniques supposedly - it's only flat/lip service. Just say 'I give u 25c lv 10b lv 5a lv and one s+ lv swordsmanship. no depth explanation or even reason. 3 Mc creates guns and uses this as a chip to gain trust of raikage. this is crap that doesn't show up u til 20 years later and only for carriers to play soy sauce~ as they say, just stand around and ground mini god trees' forest lines~. not a single battle in which a shot was fired. not even when Mc was weak. Also: stamp collecting all female characters of note and breeding them massively in his harem without regard for children future. disgusting. irresponsible. care-less. if u like harem - enjoy good points - Mc delves into blood succession training by hand and works hard (even tho has cheat assistance but still is hard). cheat usage unclear. worst part - spoiler - at a 'final battle' VS ishiki he kills Mc in the past with shibai technique. instead of ending on mutual destruction Mc is reborn in konoha and starts a new disgustingly bland/Un-novel konoha ninja story, and worse, he's being oppressed by tsunade whom he bred previous life. I could give it 4 star not caring for harem and apretiating it's strengths over weaknesses but that restart killed it, especially the oppression. wanted to give 2 star but changed last second writing this final statement.
I liked it overall. I don't remember exactly but he starts by not helping world govt directly~ yet benifiting from them then spoiler he kills a bubble head and covers up. if u like catious low key accumulating strength but not cowerdly mc - I think that's good. What I disliked later~ is some nonsense seeming scifi~ish feeling elements that didn't feel like fit the plot/flow smoothly - no/little foreshadowing - to my perception~ taste, idk...
I read like 40ch. early on its 'gou' - low profile, sorta like pretending to be lazy sometimes, and other times pretending to be cowardly or being such while pretending to be hardworking... personally - I don't mind such too much especially when it's reasonable and even like this kinda genre of catious mc~. however it's abit too much~... if I like it between 1 to 8 points of catious out of 10, then this is between 6 and like 11, our of ten... and avrg of 8 atleast... additionally, it goes way too deep into the potential inner thinking of the people Mc comes into contact with, like those old Chinese politicians or whatever that have thoughts upon thoughts upon thoughts and author has Mc deeply annalize those. now, in fact, for Mc personality it's appropriate - my problem is those plots in general - just annoying author chooses to do so I guess. other than that it's so low review cuz no action, no in depth details of system or power system, system kinda meh/lame/overly specific yet not too functional and it's cheap benifits are too random too. I remember seeing this title many time and I prolly tried some and I prolly quit then early cuz ch2 his first 'drop' is immortal human body. ugh. so that's it. he can become a superman like finalee guy 8 gates with just some steady exersize and like 3~5 gates max... but like ya know - ok, early, one super buff - whatever... but thing is - he doesn't even develop it... does dare lest he be noticed... ughh; opressing
this starts seemingly as a game - lord style - later revealing that the game world is the earthlings future new home as it or\and the earth get absorbed by a higher dimnesional~ multi~world? anyway early on theres some conflict between players and mc gets a powerful inharitence - theres some family drama iirc... later as he conquers the world and starts tryna expand and conquer other bubbles of that multiverse world some stuff changes and the story becomes more of a xianxia cultivation story. mc finds a powerful xianxia inharitance - specifically dual cultiovation one - which transforms the somewhat ambigious atmosphere in his harem (hes an emperor~) into a full lewd one and then he goes on traveling xianxia style and picking up girls~ sorta. therere some conflicts along the way this dual cultivation inharitence affects the minds of the women so ... cw - rape i guess :)
i like power systems and this novels has a deep focus on it - going indepth. however in terms of plot - threre a few moments i get somehwat frustrated and\or bored - when bored - usually feel skippable. also the quality of the action writing is so so at best. - evidently author has had alot of indepth thought about naruto power system and like cultivation and how itd work in the setting and decided to write a story. but his writing skills for world building and power system building might be 8-10/10 while his plotting and action writing are somewhere like 2~5/10 oh but to add - one thing i love he did - mc leaves konoha relatively early rather than stay like a simp\slave doing dirty jobs and at risk of death and negative focus of hiruzen after sharingan (1 magatama!) is awakened like how many other authors have facination with konoha or maybe cuz theyre too lazy and its convinient or too familiar to them and they think to readers too~
good comedy, nice system~ - system is sentient but doesnt do fked up things like issue quests (with death penalties~ or penalties or forced quests etc like some disgusting systems). writing is nice, pretty good. only issue isnt adressed is i guess is mc taking having children lightly - which is actually unusual in my perceptioon for cn mcs but mostly prolly cuz cn mcs are also often generally dont have children or are unwilling to - and maybe i takle that unwillingness as them considering that responsibly~?.. but here mc is at threat of life arguably and so him just doing it sounds acceptable\reasonable~...
so low cuz poor translation with random Chinese characters popping up often, notably in skill names. also has random weird text in - I use tts - it's like pouring acid in my ear, mentally. There's anti jap sentiment - i don't lower the score over it too much since it's not too harsh early on atleast as far as I've read. There's baseless pro Chinese and Chinese supremacist sentiment - quite cringey and more than just a lil point here or there - repeatedly enough to register~... The premise is cringey - ok so he gets inf sp- why? is he transmigrated? if he is it's not stated clearly anyway... also he can for some reason from this same thingy learn skills of any prof? crime op - I don't mind op like that with master of all pros but there should be limits/downsides like it being a rare profession or exp requirements multiplying or something.... The setting is boring and weird~? maybe cuz of translation... there're boars early on. then boars with weapons and 'guns'/'spears'? referred to as ranged - so are these orcs/beastmen?.. unclear! did author not plan clearly from chapter 1 to chapter 10? additionally the skills aren't memorable. aren't strong after being over leveled across tiers. also the leveling across tiers is too broken yet too weak. why bother. poor design~ imho. would've been better if he was just as strong as everyone else, then as he leveled lvl cap for skills would increase but he would still not be remarkable... until he has more skills than others could afford skill points for but author not imaginative in power systems or power progression...
