Maybe I shouldn’t have read this novel. The synopsis did give a warning, so that part is on me — I jumped in because of the high ratings and the promise of “no nationalism or racism.”

But I really dislike stories that involve rape or anything close to coercion. I can’t see how forcing or gaslighting a teenage girl — especially by someone with a mentally mature mind — can ever be framed as acceptable. And please don’t argue “it wasn’t rape” just because she eventually agreed. If you wouldn’t tolerate your sister, mother, or girlfriend being treated that way, then it’s not okay here either. Saying “it’s just fiction” doesn’t help; fiction often reveals the darker instincts people excuse in themselves.

Yes, readers are free to give high ratings — and I have the same freedom to judge based on my own preferences. Just like some people give 1-star ratings to harem novels for simply being harems, I can rate this low because coercive romance is something I absolutely won’t tolerate.

Edit – Coming back after 2 months:

Just because I disliked a novel that many people liked, I’m now being targeted. Every week, someone comes to lecture me. Have I ever said that the readers are wrong? Then why are you taking this personally?

Plenty of people give one-star reviews to harem novels without even reading them, simply because they are harems—and they are never targeted for it. At least I have a clear reason for my dislike: I don’t like MCs who are written as rapists. Am i wrong to have dislike? Review section exist for democracy.

So why am I being targeted?

I really hope this website introduces a mute or block feature for specific reviews. From now on, I’ll try my best not to read or reply to any comments here.

If I see a novel which I like, have one star, i generally ignore it beleiving it's just hater's babbling. So, why don't you ignore too?

MC of the novel is Lu Xian

Pros :

•MC mastered aura concealing method.

Cons :

•Author is adding troubles on MC.Ex.1 When three people tried to harm MC MC kills them but is watched by third party.

•Novel is too slow paced.

•Weak MC.

•The blend of ancient world and modern world and with unnecessary restrictions make it unbearable to read.

•There is a high possibility that MC will join a faction or sect.MC could grow independently but author will use lame excuses to make MC joining a faction or sect.

•I don't like author forcing woman like Luo Xuanmeng into MC and don't like the interaction between Luo Xuanmeng and MC.Ex.1 A woman named Luo Xuanmeng who is a stranger to MC says MC is her dao companion of her and sits with him for no reason and top of that MC accepts her statement instead of strongly refusing her.

Conclusion : Trash novel

-----------------Spoilers--------------------

I like this novel the most after Reverend Insanity,Lord of the Mysteries and Kingdom's Bloodline. And i like characters like fang yuan, spectral soul, limitless,Red Lotus,Tao Zhu, reckless savage , Theiving Heaven,Star Constellation,etc other Venerables && Will Auceptin,Amon,Adam,etc && Luffy,nami,Killua,blue lock and tokyo revengers characters etc && chong guang,ang xiao,primordial saint,etc anyway why I am writing this is because In the recent chapters i feel like the author is bullying primordial saint too much,with ang xiao the schemes were entertaining and he lived up to his hype and was surpassed in strength before being defeated ( the idea that they'll be defeated after being shown awesome came after chong guang failed seeking gold and it was good too) but now primordial saint even being more powerful it feels author is nerfing his schemes and it's infuriating to lu yang boast all the time about having his cheat and it's innate talents now it doesn't feel like information war or smth smth but relying on cheats to beat but damnn he is still showing off after that and since the cheat was made tangible and primordial saints golden book or smth also was made useless and can't be doubt about the page after it was absorbed by cheat and psuedo history became weak it's just that I like the villains more than lu yang since I only like 2 types scheming and above life/unreal like fang yuan or cool,cute and silly ones like Luffy or killua and after ang xiao i anticipated primordial saint too much and the soul transformation guy 'jun' was also not introduced at all so nothing to anticipate but primordial saint wasn't given 1000 chapters like ang xiao and was already defeated once in just 200-300 chapters,ahhh it's just venting my frustration . I still find this interesting to read the author is too good I just hope it gets a good ending for primordial saint as I feel lu yang is hating him too much not like ang xiao dynamic.Have a Good Day

This novel didn’t make me disappointed, it made me genuinely sad.

The MC possesses a Record of Heavenly Secrets, a cheat capable of calculating anything within causality, limited only by time and Cultivation. This is not a shallow system, it is a strategic, destiny-level artifact.

If used even half-wisely, the MC could have asked how to improve his talent, improve his luck, elevate his comprehension, forge a supreme physique like a Chaos Body, build the strongest foundation, or uncover peerless cultivation techniques such as a 3000 Dao Sutra. He could have systematically harvested every major opportunity in the world.

Instead, this once-in-an-era cheat is wasted on eating soft rice and acting as a cao thief.

With this cheat, the story could have been an exceptional, slow-burn strategic powerful fantasy cultivation epic. What a pity that such potential was squandered.

After chapter 70, i thought he come to his sense and actively searching for opportunities but it remain the same slow novel. Even a romance novel should not be this slow like snail. It's been 150 chapters but so far there is no hunyuan dao embryo which was talked about, if only they would have provided mc this physique within 100 chapters I would have given it 4 star. But it is just hanging around women.

He's not evil, MC is chaotic and evil. He doesn't kill people completely unreasonably, he just does whatever he wants. He's not as disgusting as the other celestial dragons. What I don't understand is his power scale. MC's power, as described at the beginning, has already surpassed Yonko level, and his Conqueror's Haki level has even reached the first Nika level. I don't understand why he thinks Nika will lose to Luffy, it bothers me. Don't pay attention to those who give low scores just because MC acts like a celestial dragon. MC is already IMU's child and the future heir to the throne, and his own power is already at the peak of the world scale, or even surpasses it. Besides IMU, the other celestial dragons, whether they're God Knights or the Five Elders, have to treat him with respect when they see him. In that case, why wouldn't he be arrogant and do whatever he wants?

I'll make it short. At the end of the final chapter, he annihilates all living beings. However, he pardons the Demon Lord and gives him a chance to ascend with him to the realm of immortality. for me . this is another dog shit . fake evil . if he was a reeal evil . he would kill all the shit . even the demon lord . fake evil !!!
