The MC is simply too stupid for my liking, and based on other reviews, it seems he doesn’t improve as the story progresses. What’s the point of being powerful if you have the IQ of a rock? This is one of those typical face-slapping novels where cultivation realms are nothing more than empty labels. It’s like saying, "I was rank 9 Chin Chong before, now I’m rank 7 Ding Dong", with the only explanation being that the latter is somehow stronger. The realms have no real meaning or depth. A better example of this trope done right is Top Tier Providence, where the characters actually have some personality, and the MC is cunning yet self-aware. In contrast, this novel gives us a donkey with the power of a god—strong, but still just a donkey at the end of the day.

It started off interesting but quickly went downhill. This novel is like a slow poison—you don’t realize how bad it is until it’s too late. From the start, it was clear this was trash, filled with the MC's racist and psychotic behavior. The protagonist constantly advocates for atrocities like rape and genocide with little remorse. Sure, early human societies were barbaric, but the MC is from modern times and immortal. It wouldn’t be hard for him to teach basic morality—it’s not rocket science. Even if it took 100 years, instilling logical thinking and decency is entirely feasible. Instead, the author drags readers through real-world historical eras, which feels pointless. The MC could have started with language and culture, then gradually introduced basic high school-level knowledge, building a civilization with a decent moral foundation. As the story progresses, it becomes clear the author ran out of ideas. The novel devolves into blatant rip-offs of Dragon Ball and One Piece. To make things worse, original Earth humans with advanced tech suddenly appear out of nowhere. The plot becomes a chaotic mess with no coherent direction. It repeats the same cycle: civilization is on the brink of destruction, the MC—who does nothing most of the time—suddenly shows up and defeats everyone with his overwhelming power. The worst part is how much wasted potential this novel had. The author could have taken it in so many interesting directions: developing a martial arts-based society, expanding into high fantasy, or creating a realistic civilization with a rich history. Instead, we get a rushed timeline where humanity goes from the Stone Age to the Industrial Revolution in just 200 years. To top it off, the author constantly inserts thinly veiled nationalist propaganda, with nonsense like "slavery is necessary for progress" or "our race is inherently superior to others." Overall, it’s a frustrating mess that squanders every opportunity to be something worthwhile.

This is basically a fast-food novel—lacking any real depth or substance. It’s fine if you’re just looking for a quick face-slapping read when you have nothing better, but it quickly goes downhill. In fact, the quality seems to decline from the very start. The system, while initially interesting, is barely utilized. Most of the time, it’s only mentioned in passing when the MC needs a convenient power-up, often through brief time skips glossed over in a few lines. Instead of exploring the system, the author seems more focused on how every character reacts to news about the MC. There’s an odd obsession with titles, which comes across as nonsensical—it feels like the MC is strong because of his title, rather than the title being a reflection of his strength. This could be a translation issue or a cultural difference, but it feels silly nonetheless. On top of that, the MC gains yet another "cheat" in the form of cauldrons that boost his talent, soul, and body as he gains more prestige or official positions. It feels like the author originally intended for the MC to stay low-profile, but later shifted the plot to revolve around him becoming increasingly famous and overpowered, which dragged the story from barely readable to downright trashy. One of the most frustrating aspects is the princess character. She’s poorly written, with almost no depth, serving as a one-dimensional plot device. Despite the MC having multiple cheats aiding his growth, she somehow catches up to him purely for the sake of the plot, which feels forced and lazy. Overall, the novel feels like it’s putting the cart before the horse. In a high-fantasy martial world where might = right, the excessive focus on titles and positions feels out of place. Unlike a political intrigue setting, where titles could hold influence, this world is all about raw power—where people are slaughtered for simply looking at someone the wrong way. With no real scheming or complex plots.

Almost every character in this story has an IQ lower than a toddler. Calling them "retarded" would be an insult to actual mentally challenged people. The MC reaches half-step Bone Refinement, a level no one else in his area has achieved. He begins his conquest by annihilating a sub-force of a top faction, killing its leader with one strike and the faction leader with two. So far, this makes sense—no one knew his strength. Then, he declares he’ll unite the region under his family and orders all forces to gather in two days. At this point, any rational person would recognize that he’s unbeatable and ruthless. The logical move? Show up and at least listen, if not submit. But no—these people have the intelligence of a walnut. Instead of attending, they mock him, calling him delusional, ignoring that he just wiped out two major factions. Some third-rate forces attend, angering MC. He goes to the weakest remaining top force, offering surrender. They refuse—fully knowing he can one-shot their strongest expert. Predictably, he starts killing them, and only then do they beg for mercy. To make his point clear (since the first massacre wasn’t enough), he exterminates the Qin family. Surely now people will realize he means business? Nope. The last top force has an IQ in the negatives. Their leader believes they can win by uniting the area’s forces—despite MC being able to one-shot nearly everyone. People aren’t zombies; they fear death. Yet many still attend this idiot’s open gathering to discuss how to fight MC. This isn’t just shooting yourself in the foot; it’s putting the barrel in your mouth and pulling the trigger. And guess what? MC shows up, one-shots the leader, and forces the rest to destroy his organization. I was so disappointed. Many could’ve falsely surrendered. I even thought the last leader had backup—but no, just another moron. Either the author has negative IQ, or he thinks his readers do.

I'm completely fed up with the "little sister" trope in novels. Too often, these characters add nothing of value to the story while draining resources while adding nothing to the story. What frustrates me the most is when they are forcefully elevated to the protagonist's level through sheer luck or contrived plot devices—without putting in any real effort. I don’t mind when the main character supports his relatives; that's natural. But when the sister exists purely to leech off opportunities, constantly awakening powerful abilities while the protagonist gets the bare minimum, it becomes unbearable. I didn’t drop this novel early on despite noticing this issue, but after 100 chapters of her repeatedly gaining absurd power-ups while contributing nothing, I just couldn't take it anymore. It completely ruins the reading experience

This novel feels more like fan fiction than a well-developed story, with writing that matches that level. The main character is bland, spending most of the time thinking about actions rather than taking them. A clear example is Nezha’s weapons—introduced early on but still not created—while the protagonist has already made another spirit card, despite Nezha supposedly having only two pieces of equipment. This pacing makes the novel feel tedious to read. The world-building is also weak, relying on generic races like demons and undead. Additionally, the fact that only the main character can create summoning cards is baffling. In a real-world equivalent, this would be like someone inventing a quantum computer or an Arc Reactor in their basement—something that would dominate headlines and shake industries. Yet, in this story, the reaction is disappointingly underwhelming, summed up as a casual "Oh, that’s cool" before moving on. This lack of meaningful world reaction makes the setting feel artificial, as if it's populated by NPCs with limited dialogue rather than real characters.

This novel offers a fresh take on immortality cheat. central theme is immortality as both a blessing and a curse. On the plus side, the novel has a solid direction and execution of the idea. The MC isn’t stale or indifferent to all things from the get-go, which allows for meaningful development rather MC being a indifferent observer. it was engaging till his second wife died then the pace suddenly slowed down and MC started to bitch about being poor or having low talent compared to his second wife and babbling shit about the 'Tao' right and left. below is my rant about the novel : However, the novel is weighed down by excessive monologues filled with info dumps. These info dumps become frustrating when Even the info give is repeated every few chapter just telling us the same thing just different format. The MC also falls into a predictable pattern: he’s impressed by a genius, laments his own lack of talent, eventually surpasses them, and then repeats the same behavior at a higher level. Despite witnessing countless characters rise and fall, he never seems to learn the lesson of not comparing himself to others, especially given his immortality. Additionally, his constant complaints about being poor every couple of chapters become annoying and repetitive. this seriously hurt the reading experience as 90% of the novel is dependent and carried by the MC other that there is nothing note worthy there, character are often one dimensional or even no dimensions where they are just mention in passing and author will stick the phrase 'everyone has there own story' and expect this will give the character some depth. in the beginning i liked the MC who was caution and strategic and who knew how enjoy life oppose to 50% of CN MC's who are virgin even after 10 million years. But at the same time some of decision he make are very confusing like not accepting any disciples which just doesn't make any sense when you have a wife which is much closer bond than a student.

Read till ch124, this novel appears to be a cake but in reality, it's shit disguised as cake. Even the best aspects of the novels are mediocre. story: I would say this is the only aspect of the novel that not trash tier, but its not much better as the story goes on every cat and dog is now a genius and with a mysterious background who quickly cultivate to high levels of cultivation realms in just 30-100 years of time frame which would take normal people thousands of years to reach. I just can't cringing over character acting mysteries but information they have is like most common knowledge out there its just MC is too dumb, its similar to asking a person what he eating but he just smile and say "It's better for you not know" even the that person is just eating a McDonalds burger. characters: all of them are one dimensional character even the character with more screen time are not explored or they have some 'mysterious' background and mc is not qualified to know about that yet. aside from that they don't have much personality aside from acting in the role that given to them. let's talk about the main character, if i had to describe him in three word- retarded, cowardly and dumb. there is really nothing to like about the MC but to be fair people in this world have a IQ same a child, best example of this can seem very early when MC meet this 'bai' women who is high level cultivator, she predicts what question MC would ask her which are like the most common question any cultivator would ask in MC place even the author is hying her up like this was an feat of intelligence. world-building: the world structure is bit interesting, it gave me similar vide to er gen novel but 10x worst. the worst thing for me was the cultivation system, to explain in simple world if reverend insanity has system with depth to it like the sea and top tier providence more shallow like pond then this is a cardboard cut out of water pretending to be a pool. realms don mean much her they are just world and number.

I found this novel frustratingly slow. After a thousand chapters, the main character is still stuck in the Golden Core stage, while other stories progress much faster, often reaching God Transformation. The comments suggest that not much interesting happens for hundreds of chapters, which makes it hard to stay engaged. I dropped it after 100 chapters when I realized the pace wasn't going to pick up. Definitely not worth my time.

not for me, as it starts middle of season 1 Rhaenyra is in Dragonstone pregnant at the start of the novel there is some time before aegon is crowned king and war begins I will give short summary because there is none, so the MC's father was person from modern world standard fanfic protagonist who possess guy in this universe, that guy was from a dragonlord family, who avoided the doom by being in volantis but the only dragon rider at time declared himself the emperor of Valyria and took his army and dragon into ruins of valyria and never returned this before mc father time. MC father does fairly well for his situation without a golden finger (cheat) make some inventions uplifts the family and marries a Targaryen princess (MC's mother) nicknames the whore princess for her blood of course. the novel starts with MC's father dying and mc beginning him journey to sea of smoke to uncover some treasures and knowledge probably I didn't read pass that but from prophecy and clues, the plot will be mc sell his property here and goes to Westeros to get the iron throne I guess maybe support Rhaenyra.
