Hello, new and old readers. I am writing this review after publishing more than hundred chapters. If you are a new reader, please come read this review before reading the story. On webnovel, I have read countless stories in which cultivators are described as all knowing, all powerful God like beings but I always wondered one thing. How can they know everything and remember it. Perhaps the author had created a world in which cultivators could remember everything but my world is different. Sure advanced cultivators are arrogant and all that but I took a different approach. I created the world in such a way that no one knows everything. Other than that, The main girls in the story have various reason for cultivating with the MC and they don't do it just because his handsome (though it definitely affects their overall choice 😉) Other than that, Don expect the MC to be over the top brilliant just because he is a ten thousand year old cultivator. He is smart and ruthless and is overpowered (so no young master can mock him cause I am tired of that.) Other than that, the story is fast paced and I slowly bring the world and character information as the chapters progress. You may not find much information on the world or enough character interactions in the first 50 chapters but it gets better after that. At last, I have to say that I can definitely improve and for that reason, I will not give myself five stars. Remember, this novel is not made for everyone.

heyo crazy cronie here, review on 27/09/2021 @chap 172 (released chap till date: 189) review divided in: Short review Long review with ratings CC rants. Conclusion Warning (includes spoilers) SHORT REVIEW: You read Dual Cultivation? Yeah, very similar to that, just a little more drama included and the number of harem is quite less compared to DC, tho the no of chaps are less as well And yeah the story is hella fast. LONG REVIEW: writing: 8/10 There are mistakes here and there. Grammatical, Typos and all, though nothing that might hinder your experience. Welp the best thing is author corrects any mistake whenever pointed out, so yeah. update: 10+6/10 ^ If anyone read any of my reviews previously they would know I always want 7 chap/week for 10/10 rating. This one releases minimum 14 so a +5 for it. ^ Another +1 because author gives extra chaps when PS goals are met. plot: 7/10 ^ This one is a good time pass read. For harem suckers (like me) this one would definitely be good. ^ -0.5 because sometimes you might feel plot jumps from here to there and it's so fast it's difficult to comprehend ^ Another -0.5 because there are some scenes which might trigger readers. That's not me because I read pretty dark $h!t. But others would be triggered. As I said this is an unbiased review so everything will be accounted for. ^ A -1 because of exaggeration. For ex *spoiler* Mc is a clean freak. But his girls somehow messed the room. Mc founds out and he gets angry that he threatens to kill them if they don't clean his room within an hour or so. Some might say it's a joke but it isn't because mc can resurrect them even if he kills one. And I'm saying this might be said as a joke, but it's really a bad humor. *Spoiler end* characters: 8/10 ^ I like the characters here personally tbh. They have their own quirks and personalities. ^ Then why -2? First -1 It's mainly because how fast women fall in love with mc. Now I know this is a dual cultivation novel but since I have this criteria so... ^ secondly, another -1 because how no characters have any character development. But as I said this is dual cultivation novel so just -1. pacing: 7/10 - Honestly, pacing was pretty fast. dialogues: 9/10 ^ mostly all criterias this time got 8 huh. Welp tbh the is not a real entertainment: 9/10 Now this is a biased criteria. This is solely based on me. And I indeed enjoyed the novel? How much?? I had to stay awake at night to read this one (since I'm pretty busy during daytime.) Overall: 4.6/5~4.5/5 (WN rounding up) CC rants:- There are some extras which I didn't mention above... Or didn't have the right criteria so here it goes ^ Firstly I love how author uploaded girls pics during their intro which most authors do not do. They always ^ Author is interactive and replies to as many comments as possible. This is also the reason why author knows any mistakes he made in a chapter (typos, grammatical,etc) and he corrects it. ^ *spoiler* Now this is amusing but the cultivators not only have western & jap name but also wear modern clothes. Yeah modern... *Spoiler end* ^ And..... That's it. Keep uploading 🌚 CONCLUSION: A very good fun read novel which uploads twice daily. If you're a fan of Dual Cultivation, heck, if you're a fan of harem genre then do read this!!!! And author-chan don't forget to pin this xD WARNING: *SPOILER* The start is very similar to Dual Cultivation. So if you ain't a fan of DC then don't read this, since it would be just a waste of time.
I originally started this story just because I saw the word "Harem" in its name but this quickly grew into one of my favorite stories. Even if you don't like Harem I really suggest giving it a chance you may or may not enjoy it regardless. So if you are reading this review I will only say this, Go and read the free chapters at a minimum right now! My reasons? It made me experience a roller-coaster of emotions multiple times, I even had to stop reading for a little emotional break near the end, then BlackFlamer-sama hit me with another emotional truck-kun when the story ended. Now why are you still here? Go read! Shoo shoo. Begone! start reading already. And for you BlackFlamer-Sama, hopefully wn doesn't delete this as well, refer to the gif!
This is detailed review written after reading all the published chapters (95 chapters). Writing quality: 4⭐ The author has stated that he is not a native English speaker so some mistakes are expected. There aren't that many spelling mistakes but grammatical errors are there. So four stars are enough. Story development: 4.5⭐ A very fast paced story with little info dumps. The author however slows down the story for a few chapters to explain a few things and all that. Overall the story isn't full of chapters in which MC is breaking through or creating pills using different ingredients. After all, we are all culture lovers. Character design: 3.5-4 ⭐ The characters are certainly good and the harem girls are strong and not like those weak girls in Chinese novels. It is mentioned that even the MC is afraid of them at certain times. I would have given more stats but we don't recieve that many character interactions and details until the second volume. Updating stability: 4.5⭐ The author updates seven chapters a week and I haven't seen him missing any updates. However, I would personally like ten to twelve chapters a week but if it will decrease the quality, please don't do it. World Background: 3.5-4.5⭐ Again I can't decide how many stars should I give. At first glance, the world is like any other Chinese cultivation world but later on we find out that it's a little darker than those world's, especially the Central continent. I am still accumulating information about the world and I might update this later on. Overall 4-4.5⭐If you love dual cultivation and harem with a MC who doesn't care about any young masters or royals, this novel is perfect for you. As I said earlier, this is a fast paced novel so you won't be bored sitting around waiting for the MC to breakthrough or creating a pill. I hope that this review helped you understand the novel.
Short review *warning few minor spoilers* I've read up to the 120th chapter, so writing a review before reading the upper realm arcs. So far the story is enjoyable, there are a few typos here and there but it's bearable. Character designs are top-notch also the author-sa shares the heroine images in the paragraph comment which is good! The story is quite fast-paced, and I don't see much character development hopefully in th upper realm arcs we can see it, also the MC powers aren't properly explained all we know he is an overlord and had a wish to reincarnate, i hope we get a back story or proper explanation how he acquired his power ( i.e devil blood, angel blood, elementals etc.) based on the story progression angel and demon blood shouldn't coexist. anyways hopefully author sama provide more details on it overall the story is quite interesting!!
Read a bit of it but its a good novel... A bit too similar to Dual Cultivation which I am reading so I probably won't continue with it... Author should accept the similarities are too much to not agree he got inspired by Dual Cultivation... Nothing wrong with being inspired and writing a similar but different type of novel... The worst thing to do is deny it was inspired by another... Not crediting or acknowledging or denying the source is as bad as it gets...
I'd thought I'd give it 5 stars as the concept and potential is worth such. the story so far has lived up to this and barring any major flaws whether in character or plot, this will be a must read for all harem lovers and cultivation enthusiasts. P.S 14-16 chapters a week would be awesome as it would help build a large enough chapter count to attract new readers who like to binge read. No pressure if you can't should there be a risk to lowering the quality of the story.
honestly one of the best harem novel I read till date. The whole new concept of cultivation world , MC is modern and many different and unique events. The character development of the character is good . The pace is little fast but like that author did not drag anything too long. The story is getting interesting every chapter. MC is also very mysteries . LOVE the novel highly recommended . Thanks author for writing such a unique and different type of story from rest. [img=recommend]
