It was interesting at first—really—but somewhere along the line, the entire world decided to revolve around the MC like he’s the sun and everyone else is a potato. Apparently, no other human in this story is capable of basic reasoning unless the MC spoon-feeds them. I read up to chapter 100 hoping things might evolve naturally... but nope, the story clings to this painfully artificial "MC-saves-everything" formula like a bad shounen trope on steroids.
You’d think in a world where Pokémon suddenly appear, more people would start figuring things out independently, right? Maybe some trainers here and there, some trial-and-error discoveries? But no, the author seems convinced that the MC is the sole functional brain cell in a world of rocks. Literal rocks. as always, only the MC and the CCP seem to have any clue what’s going on, while foreigners exist solely to mock the MC and look stupid doing it. Subtle.
I went in expecting some organic world-building—where the existence of Pokémon reshapes society, people adapt, and the MC perhaps leads by example. What I got instead was a self-absorbed power fantasy that assumes the reader enjoys watching the MC solve every problem while everyone else struggles to spell "Pikachu."
And no, the MC isn’t even that smart. He goes to fight legendary Pokémon with the intellect of a toddler chasing fireworks, then forces his Growlithe to evolve with a Fire Stone that not worst part the motress was leaving but MC just keeps attacking it which end up with use of fire stone
Also, the story leans more into slice-of-life side quests—like finding stolen jewelry or inventing new ways to waste potential with Fire Stones—than any real overarching plot or meaningful development. I didn’t sign up for 1000 chapters of glorified fetch quests. I came to see how the world changes with Pokémon in it. This? This is everything but that.
GPT would have written better plot than this.
The story is good, but it's way too slow for my taste. It takes nearly 100 chapters just for the main character to even start cultivating, and for the concepts of cultivation and immortality to be revealed. If it follows the standard progression of cultivation levels, this could easily stretch to 3000–4000 chapters—unless the author suddenly speeds things up, which would hurt the quality in a different way.
Another concern is that the novel has just started, so there's no telling if the writing quality will hold up. I’ve read many promising xianxia novels that completely fall apart around chapter 300 or 400, often rehashing the same generic tropes.
This story would’ve been far more engaging if the cultivation and immortal elements were introduced earlier. Instead, it spends too much time on village politics, martial arts squabbles, and cliché conflicts with young masters and clans. Personally, when I read xianxia, I’m here for the cultivation, magic, and world-building—not drawn-out petty drama in a random village.
This novel is slightly above the usual trash-tier stories, but it’s far from good or great. At best, it's average—the only real positive is the absence of major flaws. But compared to top villain novels like Reverend Insanity and Warlock of the Magus World, it falls short.
Fang Yuan is a strategic genius who manipulates human nature with precision. Every action serves a purpose. Leylin is a cold, calculating scientist with clear goals, detailed plans, and endless contingencies. Both feel like real villains with depth and agency.
This novel’s MC, by contrast, is aimless. He has no real motivation or long-term goal. His actions are random, driven by plot rather than intent. Instead of a proper villain, he comes off as an edgelord who kills for shock value. His “research” is shallow and results are handed to him by plot convenience rather than earned through logic or planning.
He desperately tries to appear like a mad scientist, but it falls flat. For example, when he discovers a higher realm—Martial Saint—his reaction is simply, “put him on a table and study him.” There’s no curiosity or deeper thought, just superficial dialogue and lazy writing.
The world-building is equally bland. The only slightly interesting setting was the second world where humanity was wiped out by an evil god. Beyond that, the author reuses the same generic cultivation or martial art worlds full of clichés. These worlds have no depth, uniqueness, or lasting impact.
I’ve read similar novels with this setup that were handled far better. One example is Divine Diary—not amazing, but it executed the concept with more focus and care. The difference is that its MC was good while this one is evil—but ironically, that MC was far more compelling than the edgy mess we get here.
This is a solid Warhammer fanfic. I was skeptical at first—especially with the players acting a bit too heretical—but the author balances it out by censoring the more outrageous dialogue and reigning in the absurdity. The concept of the Emperor acting as a “golden finger” and giving the MC a system is lore-breaking to some extent. If the Emperor can do that, he could arguably do much more, which doesn't sit well within the Warhammer universe. But if you can overlook those inconsistencies, the novel has strong progression and a decently engaging story. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but definitely readable.
One of the novel’s strengths is that the MC isn’t overpowered from the start. He grows with the plot—powerful enough to change the course of events, but not so much that he trivializes everything. The inclusion of players creating and innovating tech is another interesting aspect, though it deserves more screentime.
That said, the novel isn’t without flaws. The players’ banter gets repetitive—recycling the same jokes too often—but the author does mix it up occasionally. A bigger issue is the shallow understanding of Warhammer lore. It feels like the author memorized key facts without grasping the nuance. This results in a black-and-white portrayal of a universe that is famously morally grey.
The best example is Magnus the Red. In canon, he’s a tragic figure who made mistakes for the right reasons, caught in a no-win situation. But here, the author reduces him to an “overgrown baby,” which feels tone-deaf and dismissive. Warhammer thrives on moral ambiguity—villains with virtue and heroes with flaws—but that depth is mostly absent here.
Overall, this is a decent read. It's far from perfect, but still enjoyable, especially when compared to the average Chinese web novel. Definitely on the higher tier of fanfics, even if it lacks the depth of something like Reverend Insanity or Lord of the Mysteries.
This novel is full of ass pulls. It starts by setting up a nightmare-difficulty scenario for the MC—an average guy with no big cheats except maybe an enhanced soul. But instead of using brains or strategy, the story constantly twists logic to help the MC survive impossible odds. A proper system or golden finger would've been better than this overpowered plot armor.
The MC goes from regular dude to psycho killer almost instantly—torturing and crippling someone over an insult, with no believable transition. One moment he’s clueless, the next he’s slicing limbs like a veteran. And somehow, peasants become fearless death-seekers for cash, ignoring pain and the fear of death like they’re in a game fight a boss for drops.
Even basic physics are ignored. Cutting off limbs and heads takes serious strength, but the MC was only supposed to have faster reflexes, not superhuman power. A few days in, and he's already butchering people like it’s nothing.
What started as maybe an interesting start turned into an inconsistent mess full of lazy shortcuts and plot-breaking logic.
