Eat Apples Late at Night
For those looking for a comedy cultivation novel, I highly recommend this novel, not only is it very funny to read but the storyline is also good, full of conspiracy and intrigue. (but I don't recommend it for those who prefer seriousness and don't like comedy because maybe you think the comedy in this novel is a bit forced and too scary to read)
Generally the novels start is weak, as it relies on slapstick comedy a lot, later on(after the windcloud competition) the comedy slowly advances and becomes smarter even though there is still a lot of physical comedy, even later on(after white cave) the comedy is phased out and the novel becomes more serious. Worldbuilding only really starts after he leaves the tiansang spirt palace the first time(before that there is basically only exposition into the powersystem, maybe some mysteries) but at least as far as I read (ch 2150) its solid enough that there aren't any plotholes that I noticed while reading. Most mayor characters get enough development that you can understand them. My only real negative point other than the weak start is that sometimes translation quality drops fo 10-20 chapters, also some drops are worse others barly noticeable but they always recover (again as far as I read, so around ch2150)
I love this novel so much, it’s definitely one of my top five favourites as the characters are interesting and world building is nice. Things are actually foreshadowed and you can guess what’s going to happen. It starts out as a comedic system novel but the system is not the focus of the novel, it’s the characters and the story. Even the minor enemies are developed well like that woman who wanted to kill him in the tiansang palace. One thing I have to say though is the translation.. uhh in quite a few chapters sometimes names of things are sometimes translated differently and weirdly.. like “Heart Devil Sword technique” out of nowhere became “Demons under eyes” and Xiao Wangfeng being xiao eveningwood.. there are still chapters that are translated poorly even after a year.
- Used to love this book .... 1205 chapters in , now the book just feels like the author is merely trying to keep it going for as long as possible. A lot of unnecessary elements keeping the MC from progressing, at some point you can just see that the events that are happening are purely there to prolong the story and keep the MC down. Oh and MC just likes to hoard his passive points for long periods
Overall I think the story is not bad but to be honest it's not exciting. It's funny with all the comedy but a lot of the characters seem to be a bit... too nice? The ones that appear to be ok with killing are the older people and the younger people in the novel seem to be against killing. I expected a more toxic environment considering there are limited resources and with such a competitive world people are bound to be different. To me, it seems the mc is too relaxed about the world and I know he understands that it's a dog-eat-dog world and he values life too much. Like he just helps someone who formerly had killing intent and seemed like they were about to kill him. They were a nice person but what I'm questioning is how you get to such a level of power and still be nice. You step over people when you compete for resources and he just doesn't seem to have the ambition to do so. Just not my cup of tea I guess.
I want to read the novel because i see it has 900+ chapters and has interesting cheat ability but... I don't know if i can take this mc anymore.. i've never seen anyone as idiotic as him... there are shameless characters but this guy isn't actually shameless.. he's just idiot.. his iq goes to negative.. he doesn't understand why people act different when he acts stupid.. I want to ask from someone that has read more chapters.. like 100+ or even 500+ if mc will eve get brains.. I'd guess not..
