Alright read, but the repetitiveness of the MC's harem targets gets a bit tiring, especially since a lot of it follows a similar formula. (Disdain -> accidental sex interaction -> another addition to harem). Reaches a point where it's more surprising to see a female character not in his harem than otherwise. The MC's ruthlessness also makes for some fun moments.

At the time of reading there are a lot of broken chapters w/ "forbidden req", but the story overall is interesting enough. Not revolutionary or anything.

The main concept of lord survival + the ability to combine trash into valuable shit is cool, and the overall world-building is cool. Unfortunately it does have quite a bit of racism/ Chinese superiority mixed in that I frankly had to skip through. As a cultivation turn your brain off novel it's definitely not the worst, and the harem is not super intrusive to the story and plays out over multiple arcs of the story.
