This story is about a hypocritical MC who kills without rhyme or reason, at times simply because that is his desire. At times, not killing someone is the safer bet, such as when one is exploring ruins and encounters half a party while the other half may be around. What does the MC do? Senselessly Kill, and the author bends over backwards trying to justify that it was the "rational decision". I'm all for MCs who are ruthless, who leave no traces and who kill when they need to, but this MC seems to be a person who kills the first opportunity he can. He kills unless he can't. In addition, the MC hypocritically receives benefits & guidance from multiple people, but in the end abandons most and mocks society and rules, saying personal power is all that matters. The MC does not realize the flaw that if not for the very society and rules he scorns, there would be no cultivation manuals that he so willingly used, no academy that provided him with growth, no markets where he purchased materials and food and no cities where he lived. Overall, this is a failed edgy villain wish fulfillment fantasy where the mere act of disagreeing or not immediately bowing down to the MC and worshipping him is an act punishable by death.
This is literally the best book on this website. It is one of the best, if not the best, book that I have read in YEARS. The power structure is well-balanced, the world building is phenomenal taking you on adventures and there is amazing character development, not just in the MC but with the side characters as well. Give this Novel a shot; you'll thank me for giving you the push.
