Snake swallows whale
Idk why I managed to finished this sh.it.ty story!!! It’s very bad at another level, the ending was very weird and very bad, everyone close to him, including his family died, yet he didn’t bother about them, and wanted to live happily in the void like immortal... also, he was still restricted by the heavenly laws, weaker than the Dominators... you know, everyone was captivated by the title of this book, but the content is very sh.it.ty, congrats qidian for making another dog-like novel.
Well, this was a real pain to finish this book. The translation and editing was abysmal. The whole begining was even MTL oO (around 60 chapters I if I recall correctly) Overall, the story is messy, and the editing makes it worse. You keep wondering if the story is not edited correctly, or if it's just bad. Well, the book was mostly OKish, but I found all the super hidden plots revealed within the second half of the book super cringy and meh. I'm pretty sure the author was really pumped up after mixing these elements in the book, but they were not good imho. Last but not least, the ending was awful as fuc.k, like most cultivation novels.
I stopped at chapter 72 because with what little had happened it would make much more sense if I was on chapter 10-20. Seriously not a lot happens but every little thing gets a chapters worth of info dump to explain it. Some kid wants to steal something? Well, between "Hey, I have an idea." and the next sentence where he says "Lets steal a thing." there's literally a whole chapter padding things out. And what for? More context? A paragraph could've done that. A whole chapter is hardly called for... That's the basic formula of this story. Not to mention whatever content we get excluding the one theft subplot which was decently interesting revolves entirely around thoughts on his cultivation or info on his training. There's a slight feeling of progression but mostly you're left wondering why the story isn't focused on something more interesting. So as if it's not bad enough there's so many chapters of nothing, what we do get is barely passable as a story. The story just isn't that interesting.
Having read up to chapter 250ish I’m honestly surprised that it’s a decent novel. Sure the first 80-90 chapters were boring due to the info dumps and the random character POV’s but after that it mainly sticks to the MCs POV with the occasional one for other characters which sort of works well in explaining more world background. Cultivation wise it vaguely reminds me of Coiling Dragon due to the low amount of realms they have. Instead of Qi condensation followed by foundation establishment and then core formation etc. They have literally like 2 so far up to what I have read. Sort of like body tempering stage 1 up to stage 9 and then the “Mysterious realm or Metaphysic realm” which the translators sometimes use for the realm above body tempering. Having stage 9 is like being a super bad ass in this novel so you won’t see the stereotype young master who’s 12 that is like an immortal and all that bull****. In this novel they literally have to age more before they can advance their cultivation otherwise it’ll affect their body growth and they’ll stay midgets forever which is a pretty cool concept. The only thing that would make this novel better is the translation quality. It’s proper ****e. They use the term Evil beast instead of magic beast. Hollow move instead of spacial technique. Celestial devices instead of what I’m assuming is spirit weapons and all sorts of other random ****e which is really frustrating as the story could be waaay better and for the price of SS for each chapter is ridiculous for that sort of quality. They even call the MC Junior Leopard instead of Zhou Bai or whatever his name is. As stupid as that sounds it wouldn’t bother me as long as they stopped changing the damn name each chapter it’s way to inconsistent. All in all the novel is great but the translation/editor sucks and is letting it down. For qidian to have this sort of translation quality while charging so many SS is genuinely surprising as I’ve never had to complain about it before as the quality was usually excellent. This novel almost feels like it’s being machine translated at times which is the most disappointing part as the story is ok once you get in to it.
This is the first review i wrote after i read a novel, but i just had to vent my opinions somewhere. The novel are great, a hidden gem but aren't recognized. First of all the story development are great, where everything doesn't revolve around MC. The world revolve with or without MC. It feels like a real world are described, and doens't feel forced. Stuff still happens without MC in the center of everything, and MC for once doesn't start something or goes around starting fights because he doesn't like the face of someone. There exists other people with their own schemes and ambitions, which affects the world around them, and in turn affects the surroundings of MC. And the fights are well done. They dont drag on for 5 chapters every fight, when experts fight it happens in a blink. most chapters last about 1-2 chapters, i was surprised myself when i read it, i thought i missed something so i went back to reread it. When fights dont unnecesarily drag on and on, the flow of the story gets much smoother. The only bad thing i felt were that the translation quality were quite bad. I can take some bad translation here and there, and some paragraphs which doens't feel right. But what is with the MC's name "junior leopard". What the hell, at least change the names to something else. And there are some more names which should be changed, and som editing would bring the story to a new level!!!
Most of the bad reviews have C0 or c1 status. It's cultivation novel= it's bad. I enjoy following this cautious and not arrogant MC. He uses his head a lot, and while author fastens up plot by fortunous encounters it's really shown that MC works a lot and is not cardbord dragon. Overall one of my favorites.
It's kind of sad that people aren't giving it real reviews because they were hoping for a different story. This story is a solid 4+ as far as I have read, however I am not very far in to it, a few dozen chapters later and you never know, right? The pace is good, the descriptions are good, the characters are being developed so far an interesting read.
I love crabs.Crabs live in the ocean, brackish water, seashore and fresh bodies of water. There are all kinds of crab, but mud crabs living in brackish waters are the best in my opinion. Crabs are delicious. Crabs are nice. I love garlic crabs the best. But i don't mind steamed crab and sweet and chili crab. Spicy crab boiled in coconut milk is nice too. Ilve never tried grilled crab. But crab in tomato sauce is a bit nice though not as nice as garlic crabs. In summary crabs are delicious. I am only rambling randomly cause they won't let me review it with just stars and i need a very long comment to go with it. So anyways i hope this novel is nice.
