it's painful to think that a novel could be worse than garbage. count my rating as 1 out of 100. i apologize for doubting the previous two martyrs. r.i.p. to you both 🫡
the start of this is comedy gold, then it devolves into nothing much but fag jokes, scat and bestiality. the mc is ok, but slips into the "laying flat" trope i hate so much. to be fair, he's an auxiliary and his martial spirit is half evil, so he's also a "playing pig to eat tiger" type, which im not particularly fond of, but at least it makes sense within the plot. however, i pretty much have no choice but to agree with PeatslandHole's review.. without pure, brazen, copious amounts of plot armor via the system, this mc just does not do well. i go back and forth between wondering why he doesn't just use it all the time, to "how is this even considered an mc" because of how heavily they rely on the system. it's not great. but at least for entertainment purposes (and it is quite entertaining at times) im willing to give it a 3 ~ 3.5
on one hand, this is one of the most unique and interesting multi-world fanfics ive ever seen, and tragically on the other hand, it starts falling flatter and flatter as it moves along? i think ive pinned down a significant issue with chinese authors in that, they have a lot of material and ideas to make an extremely powerful mc, but once they do they don't have shit of a clue what to do with them. the novel just becomes several repetitive hundreds of chapters of training montages and desperately breaking through, but without an enemy to fight or reason for needing such world-bending levels of power, whatsoever, the story just falls apart. honestly this applies to many parts of the story as well. i for one dont mind harem writing at all, except when the members just disappear, never to be seen or heard from again. i don't mind op mcs, except when all that power and training never gets used. i don't mind tons of world building and story setting chapters, except when they skip off to another world and you never hear about it again. this is an issue. this is disappointment.
way, way too much training/grinding/simulations, not nearly enough "payoff". i dont know if it's because of word-padding (filling up chapter wordcount with nonsense to make a 'complete chapter' ) or what, but the amount of actual content in these stories get lower and lower the higher the number of chapters there are. 400ish chapters? more like 100. and that's being generous. the plot runs almost identical to the original btth so you aren't gaining nor losing anything there, which is kind of lame, but the simulations are somewhat boring and repetitive because after mc gains the powers he barely ever uses them. this is exponentially made worse when, the actual fights that happen are skipped over briefly, while the training or merging of systems/skills takes up entire chapters.
probably going to leave this at around 3 stars.. im caught up on available chapters (ch 249) and the author has gotten to the point of adding random plots, then having to explain every one in side comments because of how bad they are. adding videogame plots, fan fiction plots, really just cramming it in there. it's not great. they're basically no longer writing a story, just adding everybody elses story to what they already have. the term "overcooked" comes to mind {Edit}: dropping this to a 1 and most likely leaving it as such. i dont know if this is "the cool thing" in chinese storytelling but at some point some authors have their mcs simply stop participating in the story events. currently the entire tournament of power arc is going on in dragon ball and the mc simply wont fight, which leaves me to wonder "then why am i reading this?" i do not want nor care to reread the original. if your mc isnt the driving factor in the story, YOU, fanfiction author, have no story. you're just a shit copy with nothing else going on. also, why is the mc struggling with fu when he's apparantly level 9 saint seiya blahblahgarbage? i kept my peace during the saint seiya waste-of-time when the mc refused to use dragon ball powers to assist himself, but now basically everything being written is a waste of time, till the next plot-waste of time. this story sucks.
apparantly there is an anime or smthn called "the burial of fulilian" that this is a fanfiction of. the story follows a mc born as a demon and the story plays out like a comedy with lots of stuff going on because of an ongoing war. the system, like the summary says, really doesn't matter, except when the plot needs it to, and up till ch 14 its mostly a decent read. im gonna leave this "review" as a benchmark for now at set it to three stars, because im not sure if i want to continue (not really into comedy fanfics) but it HAS been a good read till now.
super boring after 300ish chapters. took me half a month to read about 20 chapters because i just could not care about what was going on, at all. i think up until the demon breakout in qiandong, this story is legit 5 stars but i just dont care to read anymore of it past that.
a little bored with this one. made it to chapter 60. i think the weird mix of having the ex gf as his main "villain" and the weird mix of abilities and system tools started getting to me. it's a fantasy novel, so, you expect fantasy elements, sure. but in the same way i hate when mmos start having ducksuit and rabbit costumes in the cash shop of a medieval or magical world, this dude having a symbiote and iRobot while learning qi cultivation and swinging a tang sword around just do not mix well. ive long gotten used to the weak mindset of chinese nationalists wanting/needing to drown literally everything in their proud tradition, really i have (wouldn't be reading chinese novels to begin with if i were so opposed to it) but in this case, the elements thrown together just don't mix well, at all. keep in mind btw, this is a zombie apocalypse. you've got bits of sci fi, gunslinging, marvel comics, cultivator stuff going on, all within the first 100 chapters. im not even going to keep reading till the inevitable "anti-japanese" or "everybody hates china" section. i don't even know if this story has that, but im willing to bet it likely does.
this is one of the most fantastic pieces of fiction i think ive ever read, and once again it just proves my theory that good stories get dropped while FUCKING GARBAGE persists.. unbelievable. yea yea, the author has problems, big whoop. speaking of, total false advertising on the chapters. it's more like 470ish chapters (i actually lost count) because the author throws in "rl updates" or whatever SO. DAMN. MUCH. it was pissing me off. there's literally about 100 chapters of stuff like "had a friend come over for drinks, no chapter" or "had a backache/stomach ache today, no update" TONS of those. actually going to take a star off for that now that i think about it, it was legit maddening. but the dude has/had writing talent that's for sure. you wont be disappointed with the story itself. (at least until the chapters end)
ends at 407, awesome read!! i actually read from start to finish almost non-stop.
