the novel is good. the worldbuilding and the story were top tier. but its just... too boring... its so boring that even the most tense situation seems bland.
and also, the way immortality is depicted, that is, the way mc remains an immortal in the mortal world, although sounds practical and checks out, it feels more sad than mortals. it just feels that it is not a true immortal. although it really checks out, it feels more like a long-living guy than an immortal.
that may be because the novel shows more of the mortal world than actual cultivation. he does not meditate, learn the rules and the laws of the world, or at least that is not shown. only his constant involvement in the mortal world. his constant meddling's, that really takes him away from the real immortal feel.
it started out great. however, the author failed to create a perfect ending to the first arc. he guided it into making it sound like he had to face a terrible disaster himself, but suddenly, it turned out it is extremely easy. could have made it better.
however, the final in the arc was beautiful. astounding even. the idea that he builds a enlightenment world tree and what he does with it along with using it with his power was extremely exciting. just thinking about the various ways the world could develop, not just in strength and power. he could even create abilities that are groundbreaking. cause with all that CPU he created, the amount of things he could do is huge.
but suddenly he goes into another world and uses an avatar to do average xinxia stuff. to be honest, it could have more... potential if not doing the avatar but figured it out himself, cause really, he has the capital, and more than enough CPU to do that. I felt there was no need to get a small phone with poor CPU ( comparatively ), and do actions that feels extremely exhausting with less profit. the potential of this novel dropped at that point and now I actually think the author just lost all his ideas and settled for less.
the author was amazing with what he did, though it was highly imperfect. the thing is, mc has an op cheat, and the way the author developed it is incredible. he was able to use it in all sorts of ways. its the first time i saw such a good development of power. but the thing is, mc got too op too fast, so fast nothing else matters anymore. he is already like 5 major levels up above anyone else, and it s increasing. although the author gave everything a acceptable and quite plausible way for the development of power, it still needs to be written in a good flow. there's no plot enrichment.
its more like the author is writing ways to develop his power, rather than his journey. since the journey time is practically still a dozen days even now, that is the most unacceptable thing. its ok to make your mc op, but there should be time for world-building and time itself given to make it acceptable. right now, its like the novel could be rewritten as 'how to become a god during novice period of the apocalypse'.
other than that, the plot is quite good, its just that most of it is to show off the new powers, rather than linked to story itself.
edit: remember 100% drop rate novel? that power is op, and the mc himself uses it brilliantly, but that novel is brilliantly written in such a way that it does not seem out of that world. there is a point in that mc in still growing his powers. here, it always feel that he lives in a different world compared to the actual world..
if you give the mc an extraordinary op golden finger, you should also write a corresponding extraordinary plot. what the hell is it with all this normal face-slapping against weaklings? i wanna focus on how mc grows but there are so many bugs its irritating. write the story normally man.
excellent plot. has absolute development potential. I purely request author not to hurry and go in his own pace. I suggest author read sci-fi books/novels and other high power levels- novels. that way, he can get good imagined world with a real basis.
its not as exaugurated as user-5dda88bb said. although it lowers its charm, it just changes our mc's character to being extremely lowkey to being quite low key. one thing I gotta say is that there is too much nationalism in this noel. but this novel has its charms.
