Place of Belonging
The start of this is filled with cliches that happen because they should in this kind of novel. Clan gives a past genius years and lots of resources to cultivate again. He doesn't so they ignore the clan law that says to kick him out and instead give him a quiet and easy job in the middle of nowhere. In exchange, the MC sees them as a trashy clan and plans to abandon them because...??? They weren't happy that he was taking in all these resources? He knew why the resources the clan provided weren't enough for him to cultivate but didn't bother to tell them and then is angry at them for not just giving him everything because he wanted it. Yea. The MC isn't likeable at all. The plot seems pretty bland too. I'll pass on reading further.
Summary: MC is originally a genius, but is kicked out of clan after his cultivation stagnates, and survives assassination attempts from within the clan. He's a transmigrator, and gets a system that returns a multiple times better object than anything he auctions off. Starts an auction house and proceeds to power up off of the returns of the auction system, around chapter 100 he's back to seek revenge. My opinion: this is only worth killing time if you can't find anything higher quality. - There are annoying holes in the plot, e.g. where is the MC getting objects from to auction --- if he re-auctions anything the system gave him as a reward, he won't get another reward from it? He builds his reputation on regularly auctioning high quality, rare objects, for cheap ... but where is his supply chain? - More chapters are spent in the auction house, describing objects we will never encounter again in repetitive detail, describing the facial expressions and feelings and conversations of the bidders, and detailing the sales process for each item in each auction... than chapters are spent on the actual events that move the plot forward. - The plot is clearly being stretched out with unnecessary complications and machinations (the MC thinking he's being clever by constructing an elaborate revenge plot) around the time I'm writing this review (on chapter 118). - The translation of an occasional sentence is completely nonsensical in an annoying way that lets you know that no one edited the chapters. Or sometimes the last words of a sentence is missing. I don't recommend this one. Stay away.
Bad, when i read this, i feel like either the author isn't thinking much when he wrote his first chapters or he thinks readers are idiots. I've only read a few but the outlook of mc is quite bad. The item received from system is always something mc needs and he will get it no matter how low the auctioned item is, like his physique problem solved in a quite un-charistic fashion after hyping it unnecessarily
I’m going to keep this short. Author forgets who died and the rules established for the MCs system. These two things alone ruin the immersion, but there’s more the cultivation levels are never really explained, the techniques are a little easy to get and if they usually are not seeing a bunch show up at auction should be sus. Just not really good, having a story centerered around an Auction house was a cool idea though
author didn't plan when writing this, keeps pulling ideas randomly and inserts it to push the story forward, so many inconsistencies, 1st chapter got killed by thief didn't take his ring when he died cause blood reasons... few chapters later kills same thief but gets his stuff from thieves ring... and he locked chapters at ch.40 when the story is this bad...
