Flying Alone
I think its just like some other novels, but I can say that it will be good like those other novels with almost the same story like this. ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
I've read through to chapter 2600. The writing isn't bad and the character's unyielding personality is interesting. He won't bow to anyone. His sidekicks are a really (really) degenerate bunch. So much a** r****g. Trouble is, him not bowing leads to plot armor every time in order to avoid him bowing or giving in. Quite formulaic and no suspense since he won't bow anyways, you're just reading to find out how he can avoid showing any deference to this super powerful higher cultivation guy in front of him. He has so many wives the author needed to create plot armor against them so that the MC can meet new wives and build relationships with the new most beautiful wife. The harem aspect here is bad. Half or so of the battles that happen are because his wife took her veil off, or modified her appearance but "You just can't hide that figure, it's world ending" so the MC has to get involved. Formulaic. Finally, the cultivation aspect is lacking; breakthroughs lack 'oomph.' Accumulation is solved by throwing lots of energy at the MC and he absorbs it while comprehension is non-existent and boils down to sitting under a tree for a couple hours. MC is strong because his tribulation is slightly stronger than his current level but so what, he's like 10x stronger than his current level so he tribulates the lightning and not the other way around.
Typical novel where MC starts in the lowest realm in the weakest kingdom, where a teenager in the next kingdom has the power to topple his previous kingdom. Such a big plot holeβ¦ if every kingdom he visits is so weak why arenβt they taken over and harvested when even teenagers or rouge cultivators can do it. Aside from that he progresses through made up cultivation ranks that are never ending. A bunch of face slapping and thatβs basically the novel.
One of the few novels where the author does not even understand their own power system. Constant plot holes and retcons makes readin the book extremely difficult and frustrating. Almost no combat is present in the book, and the fights are never detailed. It is like watching a quick recap. Supporting Characters lack presence, and you would not know they were present unless stated to be. Overall, this novel is Extremely slow paced, and lacks any form of substance.
I'll make this review curt. Needless and random explanations, extending a basic scene to countless times the size they could be, and the repeated, constant, mindless writing about women. We're not an abstract creature from another realm. Please. Please just be human and stop obsessing over every single female in existence. It bleeds into the writing, making the story's already-drawn-out writing a hundred-fold worse, blanketing it in an immature light. Is this MC not some ancient person, having lived for 200 years and spent 10,000 years or so reading a scroll? Why does he sound like a desperate 16 year old?
If you came to read this novel hoping there is something new and unique, then you are completely wrong. There is i'm on chapter 600 and mc does not practice alchemy and it does not play major role at all. So, title of this novel means nothing. Secondly, i have never seen novel which has more face slapping and arrogant young master in any other novels. I never knew that it is possible to have face slapping in every new chapter (literally). In conclusion, i think this novel sucks big time.
This is a story of young masters. There's a conflicts every 2-3 chapters having to do with arrogant young masters. There's 0 exploration of relics and ruins that are meaningful and well detailed to give the background a vision and creativity. When it is time for the mc to end up in a ruins it only last 5-10 chapters with most of it being the mc fighting young masters having pretty much nothing to do with the place he's at. Characters details and personality is very 2d. Theres not much effort it seems into building on the personalities of the characters with them all pretty much being the same besides hu niu. Characters are also pretty much all forgotten under design of them being taken to another realm there only around for a arc and then same plot device repeats with them being taken to another realm and mc repeats the same interactions he previously had with someone new till there taken away.
The story is classic with the theme of reincarnation but the originality is the fact it happens 10 000 years later. The characters are pretty good with the main character who is a legendary alchemist who died a long time ago. The world seems huge and the place when the story begins is a spet of dust in the immensitΓ© of this world. I recommend this novel To all the fans of stories with alchemists and those who like martial arts and fighting.π
