Though I did get a warning in the summary about this story being mature.....I found it plainly disgusting to read as it went a little too much into detail......I don't mind mature books but this one just turned me off in th first few chapters.

As you know, just like a vendor who shouted loudly to sell his watermelons, I have to preserve my own interests so as to fight back evil person' malicious attack. Life is also difficult~~

Character development... one star. The mc is unstable in personality and also extremely hypocritical. He is hypocritical about women, while stating he does things for honour, he treats women as objects and even attempts rape. Meanwhile in battle or to other people he attempts to be "good". I understand he is going through puberty, but rape and his treatment of women should not be cobdoned. Translation quality is good. Update stability is decent, not especially stable but gets the chapters out now and then. Story development is interesting, not always linear. World background is interesting. Although other aspects are good, I will stop reading this now, before my mindset is tainted by his character.

If you ignore the nationalism the remainder is pretty good. Unfortunately the “nationalism” is at least 1/3 of the content of this novel. Even worse is that none of the nationalism is important to the overall plot or intrinsic to the story and can be ignored. When you consider that 1/3 of the story is propaganda and this novel is premium, it means you will be spending a lot of SS on worthless content. I would either skip paying for this novel, and read elsewhere, maybe and see if they do a re edit and clean out all the nationalism, or maybe webnovel will wise up and reduce the cost of the chapters.

I've had so much fun to read this novel! I like how the MC is growing, He is a lot less OP than normal for a chinese novel. Lot's of fun when his mom enter his appartement to see him in an orgy with 17 girls from school!!! Background history and martial system are OK. Finally I like how there is some slice of life in the middle of revenge/action. It's definitely a good read!

Super nationalistic story that depicts Chinese as the master race and masters of the civilized society. It shows the Chinese as people with minimum amount of shortcomings, while other races’ people to be full of faults and measure to up the Chinese.

This novel is being labeled as racist, I find this sad, Zhang Tie if anything is one of the most open minded characters I have read in any novel, Chinese, western etc, the fact the ending had his buddies from his time in Blackhot city come through was sweet, Zhang Tie is not racist, he is against it as we see many times in the book, This book is written by a Chinese man, for a Chinese audience and is posted on a Chinese website. the statement of nationalistic BS is so dumb I want to cry, why are you on this site reading this and complaining, If you can like the Lord of the rings and then complain about this, I am sorry, you are a hypocrite, every author in this world is nationalistic, no American author will write a novel and not base it in America or make his mc something, he definitely wont write a novel making African countries the focal point of the world and he definitely wont make china or any other Asian country the focal point, \\ So if you wanna be outraged, go ahead, it is a free country, just know you can be foolish as well, expecting wuxia and xianxia to cater to your desires. Finally please write your own novel if you hate this one that much. Thanks and it was a fun ride, the Castle of Iron Black This is one of the best novels I have read, I enjoyed this ride from start to finish.

If you ignore the fact that the MC is racist and says at the beginning something like "raping is the shortcut to a woman's heart" (which made me drop this novel a good month) and if you ignore the Chinese propaganda then this novel is a masterpiece. I have never seen a world building even remotely close to the quality of this one. There are so many things in this novel. The author is a genius when it comes to creating places and their story. The quality of the translation is OK. We can find errors sometimes, but I don't really care because for me what matters is what is the story itself. A good point is the stability of updates (2 chapters per day ? and there is quite often a mass release). A must read.

Another good story to be dropped because of SS donation system. I can't donate every day, but if you payed once, you will have to pay forever or wait for months for free chapters to catch up to place where you stopped unlocking with ss.

Don't read this novel, It's creepy as F***, The MC is a *** addict and when he sees someone he likes or saw a beautiful woman he started wetting his pants, later when he becomes stronger he will sexual harras the women he likes and stick to them like a leech and never let go, in chapter 315 he hugs a woman like a leech not letting her go even she doesn't agree, this MC is creepy as f****, I will kill this MC if he ever did that to my family members, the author has a f**** up brain and a twisted characters, he should be in jail.

What? You perverts out there want to read something with "loads" of ***? Tons of easy women? A perverted rapist mc that resembles your own pathetic selves? But something that has some kickass fighting parts to help cover up the blatant truth as well as your crushing guilt? Well i got this wonderful story for you!!!!! Read in nonpublic parts, as your disgusting personality might "leak" out while reading. Enjoy👌

A Breath of fresh air compared to other translated Chinese novels. The main character acts his age and is not too arrogant. The sexual undertone does not detract from the story since the story is about hormonal teenagers who do not come into regular contact with the fairer ***. The world in this novel is quite different from usual cultivation worlds since it is a sort of steampunk world. I enjoyed this novel and I am looking forward for more. Thank you and keep up the good work!

My biggest gripe with this series is the development. I never mind it when an author takes the time to carefully construct a setting or idea as long as it is done in an interesting way however what could've been done in a prologue and a few plus chapters has been dragged out over dozens. On top of that the knowledge the mc has doesn't seem more complete compared to someone with a similar ability such as with Ancient Strengthening Technique, just clustered with Sci-Fi like terms for energy. The story has captured my interest which was what made me read so far into it however 27 chapters in I feel like I'm running on an empty tank and would much rather go look for something else to read than torture myself through the remaining 53 chapters.

Very good story line. Has a few ups and down in the middle, but its starting to rise in quality again in the new chapters. World is well developed, but the heavy regards to the Hua (Chinese) culture gets kind of anoying as the time passes.
