Solid novel that is sadly marred by the usual drama and bs cliches. Started off well with mc becoming ridiculously op, but then it had to change direction once he hit the current limit of strength basically. Tbh I wish it took the power up arc more slowly and focused more on the details of his powers and abilities instead of skipping over that just to get to the trash parts filled with drama, etc. Nobody is perfect, so making a more realistic slightly flawed character is fine, but the annoying things were just building up too much for me to continue. People finding out his identity, him basically losing control of the situation because of that, him being selfless and helping random people and giving away stuff for no reason, etc. Dropped around ch 150

Wish we saw more about his skills and talents that made him so op

He should be offloading his gold coins because they will depreciate over time as more people get them. While he has all the supply he can sell for a much better price even if he dumps a lot and the price lowers some because of that. Dumping it all later will just be worse because more people will have gold coins to sell then, so there will be more total on the market. If he needs gold coins later he can buy them back with the real money he got, but it will be cheaper then so he will profit. Holding gold coins while they depreciate is such a waste.

Yea that was terrible even with the ending. He took so many unnecessary risks. If you say the reason he did the fighting himself and took hits like that was to distract her, then he should have just used his minions instead because she doesn't know how many he has. And even that wasn't necessary, just use numbers to wear her down and then the archer kills her when she's tired. He chose like the worst method to beat her

Agreed, and idk why he isn't using the duel skill to steal stats and abilities. Unless that skill has limitations I missed, seems like a huge waste not to use it all the time. His sleeping xp skill is about the most useless one because he's just getting to the level limit faster for no reason instead of making himself stronger.

Can anyone explain why he would want to upgrade his magic stat? Seems like he's just wasting stat points instead of using them on the stats he uses

Why does he keep putting stat points into magic when he doesn't use magic? Even if he can later it's a waste now

Trash, lots of cliche and annoying things already in just the first few chapters... Mc just randomly did things and didn't consider how to best use his cheat. Dropped

It was ok for a while, but then I lost interest. All his abilities and techniques becoming useless when he goes up a cultivation level is lame and he does some dumb things without thinking about the consequences basically. Taking a cultivation path that he has no idea how he will complete. It requires hundreds or thousands a specific drop of a specific element he's only gotten once, but he chooses it anyways. Then he goes into a secret realm to fight people in his cultivation realm when he is the weakest of that level and can't cross levels to beat stronger people and has no countermeasures if he encounters someone strong, so if that happens he just dies... Obviously things happen to resolve those issues, but mc had no idea about that and just went yolo with no plan at all. Dropped ch116 because I also don't like his choice of cultivation element, seems kinda bad since it's not useful during most of the time I'd imagine people will be fighting and doing stuff...

I really enjoyed this novel. Supposedly it has been dropped by the author though and if so, that is really sad. I also am surprised so many people disliked this novel and rated it poorly. I guess they just want the usual generic novels that you see get really popular for seemingly no reason. This one is different, mc is very steady and while he might not do everything perfectly efficiently, I think he does a pretty good job of making use of what he has available to him. In his pursuit of being steady and minimizing risks, he sometimes chooses to go with the flow and get as much benefit as he can out of a disadvantageous situation instead of trying to fight it and most likely end up in a worse situation anyways (assuming he wouldn't get some bs unreasonable plot armor like most mc would). Mc is truly steady and does things in a way that won't bring him attention or trouble even if that means potentially losing out on some benefits. I like this because I also think going for those benefits is too risky and would be detrimental to get a short term gain for long term trouble. This is my second favorite novel with a steady mc behind top tier providence.

Trash novel in a trash genre that doesn't do the single thing that I read these types of novels for... The only reason I enjoy some of these as a guilty pleasure is if they have an ability that they exploit well. This one doesn't focus much on their ability and just does random unrelated stuff. If it focused on him farming souls to upgrade his demon ability so he could summon more demons, I might have kept reading it.

Very good novel, but a few things made me drop it. Mc starts off as very cautious, he's pretty op, and there's not much cliche or annoying random stuff. What made me drop it is that I just got bored of it. His power ups don't matter and don't make a ton of sense either. He just has to pay the system enough and he can beat anyone, so his personal power doesn't even matter. Also, his power ups aren't as satisfying for me because he doesn't do much to like effectively get them, they're just handed to him for free basically. He doesn't have any interesting strategy to get money or anything. Also, he stopped being cautious and just reveals his system and his power, which brings trouble their way. So I'd say it was very good until maybe ch100, then I started losing interest and dropped eventually around ch160.

Lol I like that the bribery is so organized. Figured the money would all be used up once he got into the sect.

Trash. Mc doesn't hide his op ability at all, it almost seems like he's trying to show it off to people who will cause trouble for him... the ability could be interesting if he had a brain, but sadly he doesn't

Decent novel, but I eventually lost interest around ch139. Mc is pretty op, but he's not very cautious even though he thinks he is. His abilities appear randomly and I didn't really like them, which is one of the reasons I dropped it. Any power that removes your ability to think normally in battle seems pretty bad to me. His family drama was something I usually don't like, but it wasn't as bad in this one.

Mediocre novel at best. Annoying, arrogant, reckless mc who just does random stuff without thinking about the consequences. Knows he needs to lay low, so he does the complete opposite every chance he gets. Gives out his real name to random people in the game/simulation world who will obviously look into him irl, which will expose him. Gets involved in other people's business for no reason, only causing future trouble for himself for no benefit. His power seems interesting, but the game/simulation world isn't explained well and his abilities aren't explained at all. He just randomly gets a new ability/talent seemingly out of nowhere, etc. Dropped on ch29 because this novel is a complete mess.

Very good novel, nothing really stood out as amazing, but the reason I liked it so much was because nothing stood out as being bad either (this is pretty rare, usually I find many things to criticize in a novel lol). The highlights of the novel are more subtle, doing the little things well so the novel flows smoothly. The best I've read so far in the "picking up attributes, xp, etc" genre. Mc is pretty op and does a good job of using his cheat and trying to stay out of trouble. I like his sinister style of doing things, using dirty tricks to win without caring about his image. The side characters are good and there isn't much cliche stuff. The world is pretty dark and the character interactions seem more realistic to me compared to most novels on here. I read up to ch276 before writing this.

Good novel if this is what your looking for. Not much annoying/cliche stuff going on, straight forward op mc becoming more op over time. He doesn't use his cheat super well, but it's pretty basic (not that much he can do to optimize it) so he doesn't do terribly either. Read to current ch 505.
