Wood Easily Starts Fires
Well first Comedy is gold. Comedy is the only thing that kept me reading this novel but soon got bored of it at like 180 or so chapters. Too many blatant plot holes that even if you try to ignore it, you just can't. Repetitive plot which makes the story even more boring despite its gold comedy. I also don't like his bias towards his eldest disciple. At first it was acceptable but later on, it got even more annoying. Well overall there was nothing new in this novel except for MC personality and his treatment towards other girls which I loved it. Oh yeah Even though MC is portrayed to be cautious and hides his cultivation and talents but does many stupid things which lets other people know about his powers and talent in array formation and other things.
While this is a pretty good story and can be used to pass the time, the writer insists on throwing in rather cringey moments to try and force a laugh. On top of that, they ignore their own rules and set up the most ridiculous situations in order to push the plot forward. An enemy comes and fights against someone way stronger than him, and the enemy escapes anyway. Then they fight against someone an entire cultivation REALM ahead of them and still escape anyway. THEN they come across someone two cultivation realms ahead of them, and escape anyway. Then they come across an elder who is FIVE entire cultivation realms ahead of them, and by the grace of bad writing, escapes anyway. All of that ridiculous and impossible nonsense just to get the main character to act. And this is just one example. Half of the time the story is good, however, the other half it feels like the author is a mindless crayon eater.

This novel is trash in my opinion, the name is misleading on so many levels. Firstly, If you hate protagonists, you shouldn't have given him a system in the first place, him having one makes him a protagonist. Secondly, the way the MC says women are not needed in his cultivation part just makes me want to puke. If you had given a good reason such as you can't write romance, good we'll know what to expect, but to make it sound so stupid is just so appalling. Thirdly, why hide your powers when you're already OP? You have the system, you have resources, you could make his sect the top sect in the entire world, attract more geniuses, select good disciples and get stronger quickly, but Author thought, "Nah, let's make him low-key and stupid with an IQ of -100. Honest advice? Don't bother wasting your time reading this.
One of the very few novels I would read until the end wholeheartedly! It would be a lie if I didnt say I didnt cry! Especially the ending. The place this story had in my heart reached number 1. Its not as well written as Revered Insanity or as yearning as Lord of Mysteries, but this story actually made me viewed this characters as true existence. I felt like a proud grandma here cheering on the sidelines! I really really really love the story!
Another small pet peeve I have is the usage of vocabulary. Vocab could be a very minor thing for some, but for this instance it bothered me a lot. It was the usage of the words "hot shot". It's a modern word the MC specifically uses in this fantasy setting to describe characters that have cheats and could be protagonists of other stories. He teaches this word to his disciples. Cool, nothing wrong with that, but then another character, completely unrelated to the MC, who has never interacted with the MC suddenly uses the word "hot shot" also to describe these characters. ???? When there is no cohesion of the world, even in something as minor as this, it breaks the immersion.
This is the kind of "overpowered" that I like. No one knows at first then slowly some ppl get to know but not fully and then someday everyone will be shocked That basically the whole premise. But the funny thing here is, that he himself (MC) is dense and doesn't fully understand how others think of him. At least imo. So having the reaction of the disciples is like seeing the common sense from ppl in comparison to his "common sense". It's not deep or anything yet. But for me this is a really enjoyable read and I want more of it. And from how the characters are interacting and their thoughts, reminds me of some other novels that I like. One specific example would be: "I don't play by the book". So if you like the humor there you might just like this as well.
