Trash, but I got baited by somehow average beginning :( First 50-100 are average and looks like author have read "10 tips how to write System novel" and checked all boxes, but that's it. And it only got worse with every new chapter. 1.9/5 in my personal rating.

Above average, but not my cup of tea. It's more of a "western" novel, because it's more focused on the world (building) - even MC's cheat allows him to dream about some ancient country, while unravelling it's story and what's actually happened. 3/5 in my personal rating.

Above average classical xanxia. - Transmigrator with cultivation knowledge from modern world, which (like always) surpasses/or at least isn't worse than xanxia one. Ugh. - Plenty of cheats, author just doesn't put accent on them, but MC is on easy mode almost the whole novel. +/- somehow original cultivation system at the beginning (pokemon or whatever it's called, involving spirit pets) +/- okayish worldbuilding, although last third of novel raises a lot of questions - absolutely boring last third (because MC is too high lvl to "take action", so main point is on his pets/disciples/other random characters) 3/5 in my personal rating

This is good. For the first 500 chapters it was like 70-80% as good as Er Gen's "Outside of time" - very similar (in meaning) weird world with heavy dark undertones. Less sophisticated plot, simpler MC and secondary characters, but world building itself was absolutely on par. Later, well, not sure if it was lack of talent or author thought it was good idea, but MC started "cosplaying" certain Chinese mythological character (no, not that monkey) and went fully that route (with "passing the torch" and etc.). Objectively speaking it's author's vision where and how plot is going, but personally I feel it was dip in quality, because novel was very original before that. Besides that: - Novel name, while accurately conveys "cheat", is a clickbait, because cheat is replaced (or rather discarded because MC outgrows it) in like first 500 chapters - Too many Arrogant Young Masters (tm) and face slapping, which is a shame, because like I mentioned world building is super good and interesting to read. + Likeable MC - calm, goal driven, energetic guy, who doesn't kill left and right (every time :)) For the first 500 chapters - 3.9/5 in my personal rating, overall - 3.7/5

Look, another below average, bordering trash System novel. - System supposedly based on proficiency, but of course not only that - also rewards MC with free cultivation (meaning that MC only needs to find new (random) skills and train in them to advance) and like an icing on the cake also let's completely hide cultivation. How convenient. System itself is already lazy way of writing, but this author went several steps further. - Trash world building 1. Old school MMORPG style, i.e. MC just starts from noob village, levels up and goes to higher lvl zone. So it's supposedly kingdom (or empire, you never know), but no idea how many states/prefectures are there and what's max lvl, sorry, cultivation. - Trash world building 2. Largest bureaucratic system I ever read in Asian web novels. MC just goes from runner to constable, to director, to deputy director, to commander, to whatever title author thinks of. There are like zillions of various departments with zillions of martial arts masters serving in them. Funniest thing? In some random city some random gang just completely sh*ts on government, because, well, where supposedly MC can show his might, but it makes it very hard to read and believe in such world. +/- plot wasn't bad at the beginning and MC could bend and stretch, plot and scheme, but as story progressed MC started kill left and right for smallest grievances. This probably is the saddest part, because it was this component that kept me reading. + Best example of "playing the pig to the eat tiger", so if you expect super fights, you'll be disappointed. MC always hides cultivation and crushes opponents with higher cultivation. Very smart. - (incoming) harem, because, well, all super geniuses/cultivators or even direct superiors MC interacts most of the time, are, well, you guessed right, women. 2.3/5 in my personal rating

Below average, bordering trash. - biggest throwback is super OP system: not only it's based on proficiency, but also can reward with various talents/supernatural abilities and it's followed by another problem (this is quite common "duo") - author is too dumb to utilise it properly. After like 500 chapters MC has enough abilities/talents for another 3 MCs (and I'm not joking, I've read quite a lot of web novels where MC has just one talent/ability from the list). In such cases some smarter authors let their MC create "alter ego" (i.e. create a clone or disguise as another guy with different abilities), which does all dirty work, but like I said this author is dumb. + a bit original world building. Well, at least cultivation system is described properly. - anime harem (if you know what I mean) 2.2/5 in my personal rating

Way above average, bordering good. Since original description is super short, I'll add mine. Rise of a transmigrator with a cheat. Yeah, I know, very original :) + Will not say that worldbuilding is super unique, but author has plenty of new ideas and it's interesting to read (which is rare). Still it has very obvious flaws (see below), but at least this author has tried and succeeded to some degree. - I don't know if it's a trend or something, but I've read plenty of still ongoing novels, where within stable world there is some "Weirdness", which is not explained in any way, breaks basic rules and seemingly exists just to add mystery or be something like instance/dungeon (speaking in gaming terms). - Political system is weird. Also there is that vibe "government good, companies bad", which is later upgraded to "China good, other countries bad". OK, there is no China, Da Shun or whatever, but when some plot is about numerous immigrants from this Dashun and characters in these countries have European/American names, you start to have associations. - Cheat is OP and upgrades later (obviously). At the start it's virtual clone/incarnation which can augment overall power/transfer damage/debufs (sorry for the gaming slang). Plus it already has built-in growth function. - MC is low-key, but somehow (yeah, right) his big fights get streamed in real time in a stadiums full of people. OK, I'm exaggerating, but it's really very obvious and while I understand that author is just catering to certain group of readers, this element is way way over tuned. + Fights are cool. MC is also cool, but author overdoes it, plus later MC starts to get reckless, like your typical xanxia MC reckless (you know what I mean) 3.6/5 stars in my personal rating. Might increase/decrease later, because novel is still ongoing.

it's starts like your average (or even a bit above that) System novel and slowly downgrades. - multifunctional OP System. Supposedly has limitations, but it's just author's trick to keep MC in acceptable power range - several nasty plot holes, which could easily lead to dropping this novel (honestly you won't miss much) - really slow (middle Golden Core @ 1k chapters) because author found easy way to increase word/chapter count (and this is biggest drawback of this novel) - MC changes his spell/skill set every ~1/4 of the realm (early/middle/late/complete [major realm]), so how to find/buy/select/etc. them takes really a lot of time/space. Like for example it took 2 chapters for MC to haggle for 2 T1 (Qi condensation) spells. Ugh. + there are several unexpected plot twists, but it's very weak plus. 2.2/5 in my personal rating

A bit below average. - Messy world building (admitted by author himself) - Rushed ending. Well, it's not exactly rushed, but after certain secondary plot ending most of MC struggles disappeared and main plot entered final phase, which was a bit unexpected. -/+ MC quite unscrupulous and selfish guy, but with clear bottom line. Still, I'm pretty sure next novel (if author writes it) will be worth reading as this one was really decent (for a rookie). 2.4/5 in my personal rating

Between trash and average. I mean author put quite a lot of effort into plot/twists(s) and did decent homework. MC plans ahead, talks eloquently and there are no arrogant young masters in first 200 chapters or so. Then you notice it's just a scam (or rather author's lack of talent) and author tries to replace quality with quantity with throwing in "secrets", super items, skills, physiques, hidden plots and etc. This can't mask that: - MC doesn't look like a 100 year old guy who regressed (travelled back in time). Too emotional and simp. - worldbuilding is trash (at least in first 450 chapters or so) - Cringe "romance" (and Asian web novels - name a better duo) 2/5 in my personal rating
