Below average. Yet another farming novel with a System, just farming is replaced with beast taming here. - (upgradable) System with multi features :/ + Above average plot/twists; - But again, if you choose farming, sorry, beast taming as main MC job and plotline and then your MC runs around fighting opponents bigger than himself, it's self-defeating and very clickbaity :/ - There are numerous problems with cultivation/realms/power levels: for example characters/beasts/skills of low lvl do OP stuff, while high lvl guys/spells do almost nothing/get countered with a fart 2.2/5 in my personal rating

Your average System novel based on proficiency. No bottlenecks is just side effect... A lot of similarities with "I am evergreen in the world of immortals" (like for example same wandering merchants who sell 1 item out of 5, where all 5 items are super useful for MC at the time of meeting. Not sure if its taken from some video game or used to promote such video game). MC is OP, but proper low-key with okayish plot and worldbuilding. The biggest problem is that novel is unfinished and there is no continuation. Couldn't find it on an official CN site (Qidian), only some mentions in blog posts... 2.4/5 in my personal rating

Average at best. -+ Moderate cheat, but gets more powerful later (like always do. Why they always do this? That's just bad writing) - Instead of cleverly using his cheat, MC just your average guy who gets "lucky" again and again. + Author tries to make it as realistic as possible (there were nice attempts), but like I said it's ruined by design. MC risks life for no fcuking reason. Yeah, "to hone" himself, but the problem is that MC is not some kind of genius. - awful romance. Not like Er Gen awful, but using worst cliché possible. Ugh. 2.3/5 in my personal rating

Disappointingly between trash and average. Reading first 50-60 chapters you see that author is experienced, but later it looks like it's written by 2 people - author and his edgy teenage son. Yeah, some plot twists are that bad. Anyway, technically it's your generic face slapping System novel, although face slapping itself is replaced with regret - regret for someone that s/he didn't choose MC, abandoned MC, looked down on MC, etc. 2.1/5 in my personal rating

Trash. Actually it's so cutely naïve, dumb or both, that I suspect it was written by very young person. Let me give an example - one of nobodies tries to check MC's info via internet (let's pretend that privacy doesn't exist in the future world for a moment) and gets direct warning about serious authority violation (instead of some neutral "access denied" or something). I mean how that nobody will know that our MC is some bigshot, right? :D Our MC is "low-key". Why it's cute? Well, author kindly explained 100 chapters later (yes, I have read more than 100 chapters) that data protection was "upgraded" - now inquiry returns some fake data ( most probably it was suggested by some readers in comments :)) And any "main" world episode is full of such examples. The only redeeming thing - it seems that author was inspired by "Swallowed star" (his master possessed some star beast cub (sorry for the spoilers)) and "Cosmic gladiator" (some plot developments/worldbuilding are very similar), so there is that.

Not sure where these "it's mage/wizard novel" are coming from. It's a proper cultivation novel with a protagonist w/o bottom line (although author quite often says/repeats otherwise). What does it mean? Well, if you want to read about a guy who refines humans into pills and does human experiments, then it's a perfect novel for you. Also author is a dog lover (I guess), so it explains a lot =) Jokes aside this novel has a lot of cruel (and realistic?) moments. +/- MC is definitely not a good guy. Not even close. Heck, I even remember at least 1 novel where main bad guy did the same stuff and it was the main idea behind whole novel. - novel has a serious pacing problem. Yes, it starts slow (it takes around 100 chapters for MC just to enter cultivation) and continues at the similar pace (one very important plot line is left hanging for like 300 chapters while MC does other stuff), but after ~850 chapters it starts moving with speed of light. Not sure what happened, maybe author got bored? Chapters also became super short. - cheat is super OP, but it was double super OP in the beginning, but author toned (or rather pretended it doesn't exist) down later. Basically it's a System based on proficiency + "turbo"/"sage"/... mode (can't explain it clearly as author added wide range of features during whole novel - it raises comprehension/concentration, shields from mental/soul attack, allows to perform alchemy at 100% effectiveness...ugh) + good worldbuilding - author loves to explain "how/why it works" (according to author) in cultivation world. And he does it a lot. Especially in the beginning. For example I remember one quite big chapter was dedicated to top grade spirit stones only. - lack of secondary characters. Author is so lazy that MC encounters some insignificant characters like 3 times in 3 different places, which are far away from each other (imagine meeting same guy you barely know in NY, Paris and Sydney - after 3rd time you would start suspecting he is stalking you :)) 3/5 in my personal rating

Average and boring, although start was promising. - one of super rare cases where cheat is not OP only because author is not smart enough. Don't mistake with cases where cheat is OP, but MC (or rather author) just too dumb to use properly. Anyway, cheat is perfect divination - "if you go A, you'll have chance to get B and future will be C", now the problem is that it's plot driven - if MC (according to the plot) looks west, it doesn't list opportunities in other directions as it should. Most probably oversight (or author laziness, you never know). In any case, what you get is that you already know how it'll end and in 540+ chapters it never went wrong (that's why I called it perfect). Boring. - another weird (or rather bad) worldbuilding where everybody fights just for the plot, I suppose. For example there were guys who targeted MC sect for specific stuff, but as it unravelled further it became one of plot holes as it was never explained why they needed that stuff. Boring. - MC has 2 invincible elder sisters, so they pretty much crush everything anyway. Boring as hell. 2.5/5 in my personal rating

I honestly tried to read this one, but I just couldn't continue :( Yes, first ~150 chapters were around average (pretty much what you can expect from a rookie), except: - cheat is your classic plot armour: multifunctional artefact, reader has no idea what it does and it reveals each new function upon saving MC a** for the nth time - MC is a bit of a simp But chapters ~150-190 were just so drop (more like a dive) in quality it was simply appalling: - According to plot needs MC switches from super smart/perceptive to retarded/blind and deaf and vice versa. - 3 Arrogant Young Masters (AYM) (yes, I counted). Worth noting, that there were 0 in 150 chapters before. - retarded plot/characters/dialogues. I don't want to spoil much, but coincidentally it started with a cliché tournament and one of AYM's came to MC friend's sect to DEMAND this tourney's participation quota (it was 2 per sect and both sects were in top4). I understand that this was done in order to have MC meet this AYM and start the conflict, but the way it was done... And things were getting worse and worse with each next chapter... - MC is real simp. Sorry, I can't find better description for a guy who lets girl scot free after she tried to kill him TWICE. - weird worldbuilding: MC strives to be a swordsman (duh), so according to his master, these guys are almost extinct, because (I'm almost citing) they are undisputed no 1 in attack but quite often with extreme personalities (like killing sect/family), so everybody and their mommas got rid of them. Also, according to author it's OK to kiss feet for any wannabe swordsman (it was just 1 till that point of novel) or desperately scramble for lowest tier sword manual in auction. If you still not get it, replace "swordsmanship" with "nukes" and think about our world.

Below average, bordering trash category. - main idea is very similar to "Everlasting", just with way worse execution - MC (or rather author) is not filial (won't spoil anything, but it was weird and author had to explain his choices in a separate notes afterwards) - weird worldbuilding 1: everyone fights everyone for no fcuking reason. OK, internal fights are for resources, but it still doesn't make sense when you have hordes of external enemies - weird worldbuilding 2: as long as MC upgrades cultivation level, suddenly turns out that there are plenty of enemies of this level and it makes wonder how MCs faction wasn't crushed before messiah and saviour (MC) showed up - weird worldbuilding 3: MC (or rather author) has weird servant mentality - up till chapter 1500 family is affiliated and pays contribution in one way or another. I understand it's a way to get some action going, but I have read quite few "family business" novels and differences (in mentality) are quite noticeable 2/5 in my personal rating

Average at best. It's about the guy who failed his immortal ascension tribulation and instead of dying went back in time. Usually I like this setting very much, but this one is focused more on family/clan rather than MC. Approximately it's 50% about MC/other families/sects talking about MC/Li family and 50% about Li family's other members and their adventures (I pretty much almost 100% skipped the latter part). + MC is absolutely OP (which is right thing as knowledge=power) - plot is super bland. Yeah, MC instakills everyone (again, nothing wrong with that), but c'mon some conflicts/schemes/plots resemble children fights in sandbox over a toy. - future knowledge is also underutilised. Except for the very beginning (when MC saved his family from wrong decision) and MC own "opportunities" (i.e. basically just repeating the same "walkthrough"), MC used his knowledge like once. 2.4/5 in my personal rating
