This novel is slightly above the usual trash-tier stories, but it’s far from good or great. At best, it's average—the only real positive is the absence of major flaws. But compared to top villain novels like Reverend Insanity and Warlock of the Magus World, it falls short. Fang Yuan is a strategic genius who manipulates human nature with precision. Every action serves a purpose. Leylin is a cold, calculating scientist with clear goals, detailed plans, and endless contingencies. Both feel like real villains with depth and agency. This novel’s MC, by contrast, is aimless. He has no real motivation or long-term goal. His actions are random, driven by plot rather than intent. Instead of a proper villain, he comes off as an edgelord who kills for shock value. His “research” is shallow and results are handed to him by plot convenience rather than earned through logic or planning. He desperately tries to appear like a mad scientist, but it falls flat. For example, when he discovers a higher realm—Martial Saint—his reaction is simply, “put him on a table and study him.” There’s no curiosity or deeper thought, just superficial dialogue and lazy writing. The world-building is equally bland. The only slightly interesting setting was the second world where humanity was wiped out by an evil god. Beyond that, the author reuses the same generic cultivation or martial art worlds full of clichés. These worlds have no depth, uniqueness, or lasting impact. I’ve read similar novels with this setup that were handled far better. One example is Divine Diary—not amazing, but it executed the concept with more focus and care. The difference is that its MC was good while this one is evil—but ironically, that MC was far more compelling than the edgy mess we get here.

This is a solid Warhammer fanfic. I was skeptical at first—especially with the players acting a bit too heretical—but the author balances it out by censoring the more outrageous dialogue and reigning in the absurdity. The concept of the Emperor acting as a “golden finger” and giving the MC a system is lore-breaking to some extent. If the Emperor can do that, he could arguably do much more, which doesn't sit well within the Warhammer universe. But if you can overlook those inconsistencies, the novel has strong progression and a decently engaging story. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but definitely readable. One of the novel’s strengths is that the MC isn’t overpowered from the start. He grows with the plot—powerful enough to change the course of events, but not so much that he trivializes everything. The inclusion of players creating and innovating tech is another interesting aspect, though it deserves more screentime. That said, the novel isn’t without flaws. The players’ banter gets repetitive—recycling the same jokes too often—but the author does mix it up occasionally. A bigger issue is the shallow understanding of Warhammer lore. It feels like the author memorized key facts without grasping the nuance. This results in a black-and-white portrayal of a universe that is famously morally grey. The best example is Magnus the Red. In canon, he’s a tragic figure who made mistakes for the right reasons, caught in a no-win situation. But here, the author reduces him to an “overgrown baby,” which feels tone-deaf and dismissive. Warhammer thrives on moral ambiguity—villains with virtue and heroes with flaws—but that depth is mostly absent here. Overall, this is a decent read. It's far from perfect, but still enjoyable, especially when compared to the average Chinese web novel. Definitely on the higher tier of fanfics, even if it lacks the depth of something like Reverend Insanity or Lord of the Mysteries.

This novel is full of ass pulls. It starts by setting up a nightmare-difficulty scenario for the MC—an average guy with no big cheats except maybe an enhanced soul. But instead of using brains or strategy, the story constantly twists logic to help the MC survive impossible odds. A proper system or golden finger would've been better than this overpowered plot armor. The MC goes from regular dude to psycho killer almost instantly—torturing and crippling someone over an insult, with no believable transition. One moment he’s clueless, the next he’s slicing limbs like a veteran. And somehow, peasants become fearless death-seekers for cash, ignoring pain and the fear of death like they’re in a game fight a boss for drops. Even basic physics are ignored. Cutting off limbs and heads takes serious strength, but the MC was only supposed to have faster reflexes, not superhuman power. A few days in, and he's already butchering people like it’s nothing. What started as maybe an interesting start turned into an inconsistent mess full of lazy shortcuts and plot-breaking logic.

This novel started off decent—nothing groundbreaking, but enjoyable enough. I had read up to the latest chapter a while back, and when I saw there were 100 new chapters, I figured I’d continue. Honestly, I wish I hadn’t. The quality took a nosedive after the protagonist became a World Master. Or maybe it was always bad, and I just didn’t notice before. The moment the story shifts to the Spirit World, it completely unravels into a generic cultivation mess. Same recycled tropes, same braindead young masters, same cardboard sect competitions. Every character exists solely to praise the MC or act dumb just to highlight how ‘genius’ he is. The entire plot revolves around side characters getting their worldview shattered by the MC in every other chapter. What kept me hooked early on was the power system and world-building. While not wholly original, the author at least made an effort to explain mechanics, explore the world, and give the MC’s techniques some depth. That effort completely vanished after the Mortal World arc. Once he reincarnates himself and others into the Spirit World to gather resources, the story turns into a boilerplate Xianxia clone—but with worse execution and world logic. One of the few “original” ideas the author introduced was the concept of “chains of laws” — where cultivators literally fight by manifesting chains. Whoever has the longest chain wins. Sounds kind of novel, but the implementation was clumsy at best and nonsensical at worst. It felt like a missed opportunity to build something interesting. Instead of refining a new system or borrowing the well-established Dao/law frameworks from better Xianxia, the author doubled down on vagueness and visual fluff. I usually have a high tolerance for the nonsense in Chinese webnovels, but this was outright toxic. It became clear that the only thing keeping me reading was the MC being cool. And once the author took even that away? There was nothing left. I dropped it somewhere between chapters 30 and 50 of the new batch

The novel is decent, but definitely not my cup of tea—and certainly not a five-star read. It's better than many other Warhammer novels, but still didn’t work for me. It feels more like a monster hunter story than something rooted in Warhammer or Lord of the Mysteries (LoTM). A large portion of the plot revolves around the protagonist traveling from planet to planet, collecting potion ingredients. It gets repetitive and frustrating, especially since he’s a Sequence 7 hunting Sequence 4 ingredients—something that has no real impact on the story. It feels more like watching someone addicted to loot boxes than reading a meaningful progression. The LoTM elements feel tacked on, almost like an afterthought. Even if you removed them entirely, the core plot wouldn't change much. What's most disappointing is the protagonist’s incredibly slow progression along the Beyonder path. He advances so slowly that many of his subordinates end up matching his Sequence level. Worse, he rarely uses his Beyonder abilities, and they barely affect the story. Instead, his actions rely heavily on his Primarch body and psychic powers. There’s also an attempt to introduce a hidden order within his Space Marine chapter to add some mystery in the LoTM style, but it ultimately goes nowhere. It’s just there for the sake of saying, "Look, there's mystery!"—but it doesn’t contribute anything meaningful. Honestly, the novel would have been stronger if the author had focused on the protagonist as a Primarch using future knowledge, rather than layering on superficial LoTM mechanics. That said, the Warhammer 40K aspects are solid. The best parts of the novel are the interactions with other Primarchs and the Emperor. If the protagonist had been a high-level Beyonder with more active use of his powers, the story could’ve been much more engaging. 1 star for balancing the other 5-star reviews Actually, a 3-star novel.

I went into this expecting a proper non-human main character who would rise to become a powerful demon or something along those lines. Instead, it turned into a cringeworthy romance between a snake and a fish. If it had just been about animals interacting—like the MC befriending the fish—that would’ve been bearable. But turning the fish into a "female character" with high-school-romance-style scenarios, complete with behavior straight out of a typical human girl, was just too much. Sure, maybe the fish developed some intelligence, but I highly doubt it would act exactly like a human teenager. And then the MC gives a valuable treasure—something he got from his cheat—to this injured fish? That’s when I dropped it. It’s just not for me. I was hoping for a demon MC with a unique arc, but this felt like your standard Chinese webnovel protagonist in a demon costume. Just not what I was looking for.

This reads more like a Japanese light novel than a Chinese one—and not in a good way. The main character has a serious hero complex and constantly charges into situations without thinking. He's the typical hot-blooded, impulsive protagonist who relies entirely on plot armor to get by. I read up to chapter 30 mainly because of the Iron Man reference, but the secondhand embarrassment ("cringe") was just too much. The romance feels like it was written by a high schooler imagining a fantasy where he saves the day and his crush falls for him. To top it off, it's a fanfic—so the quality is about what you'd expect. I haven’t read the original web novel or watched the anime it's based on, so half the side content flew right over my head. Overall, not my cup of tea. But if you're familiar with the source material and enjoy hot-blooded protagonists, you might find it more enjoyable.
