    I really like it so far. During early chapters, I started to get a bit nervous that it was going to be just another 1 for 1 "Cultivation Bigshot" clone, but it went in another direction. It's a fresh take on the same base premise, and I love the premise so it's great for me.

    It's a good and enjoyable premise but the school life aspect completely ruins it. I don't understand why it exists. It's just boring, overused cliche after cliche. Why? He's a damn stall vendor, there is absolutely 0 reason to involve school life into the story, yet the author decided to shoehorn it in. Baffling. From a cool, mysterious and quirky stall owner to a school dork story surrounded by teen drama.

    The story tries to be way too serious, emotional and dramatic for a novel who's characters have no real depth. Even if the protagonist had an actual personality and humanity or any relatable aspect at all, it would still suck. It's a system novel where the protagonist has cheats. It's not f*cking Romeo and Juilet. It sucks any fun the novel could have provided and is not a suitable medium for the story the author is telling.Apart from that, there are things that make no sense. For example, the MC beats everyone that has taken a test in the history of Kunlun, and the masters go "Hmm. Not bad. It's not shocking but it's better than most." What? The entire sect was shocked, the person who said that was shocked 2 paragraphs earlier, and he is quite literally the best to have ever taken it, what are you talking about? This happens all the time.

    i am giving it a 5 not because it's great, but because the reviews are overly harsh. As far as the "I'm Actually a Cultivaiton Bigshot" copies go, this is my favorite one, and I've read (and dropped) 4 others.

    Why does every story have to be a revenge story? Why does every protagonist have to transmigrate into a useless young master? Why does he always have to join a sect (or a sect equivalent, such as an academy)? Why is there always a tournament arc? Why does every single MC have one of the same three blueprint personalities that run through every single novel on this site (coward, arrogant or ignorant aka dumb as rocks, or a combination of them)? It's so boringly predictable.

    Another cuckold protagonist. He is incredibly pathetic and subservient to women. It's as if the author not only enjoys but even yearns for humiliation. The MC likes to be taken advantage of. The translation is not good, if it's even translation and not an MTL. The family aspect of the story sucks. So much unnecessary baggage and so many cliche plotlines because of it. It would have been infinitely better if he was solo.

    I understand but after reading 7 billion young master cultivation stories, I am begging for something different, literally anything. The whole "kid in a serious role" trope that light novels and web novels overuse to death was tired even 5 years ago. It needs to be put to rest.

    Also, I understand that our descriptions are largely the same, but my point is that anti heroes without humanity are just villains. There's a difference between "i will burn the world to gain power" (villain) and "I will rob, steal and cheat to achieve power, but I still have a conscience and morals" (anti hero).

    There are constant time skips. The system only exists when the author remembers this is a system novel. The author conjoined two premises, he is trying to write an actual, serious cultication story but decided to give the protagonist cheats. It clashes. Why do the cheats even exist? Now for my personal input, I don't like it after he joins the sect/family. It's pointless. Could have been a cool rogue, solo cultivator story. Now it's turning into a cookie cutter cultivation story. I would have given it a 2 but I will give it a 3 because I can see how others might like it.

    Meh. Just another "disciple with a system" novel. Boring. Predictable. Though the whole MC hiding strength plot sometimes works, in this novel it's just annoying. It's literally hindering the progress of the protagonist, which is a common problem with all 6 trillion other "sect disciple with a system" chinese novels. It could get worse in later chapters, but I have dropped it at chapter 40, so I will leave it with a 3 star.

    It was amazing at the start. But, soon enough, the author was hit by the stupid ray and it degraded to being undreadable dreg. When the MC gets strong, he starts killing anybody and everybody for petty, pathetic reasons. His personality is unbearably weak. If anyone tries to stop him, he kills them too. It's the classic chinese "the strong make the rules" dogshit. I don't understand how it went from a great novel to an intolerable, insufferable protagonist hundreds of chapters in.

    After around chapter 36/37, this novel becomes an exact copy paste of "I'm Beloved By All Due To My Investments" or "玄幻:我,无限投资,被万族敬仰 目录", with nothing but the names changed. The novel itself started well, I don't understand why the author decided to just Ctrl C, Ctrl V another novel.Perhaps because the other novel doesn't have an official translation? I've read the raws though, it's literally word for word the same story with different names.

    Not good. Firstly, live streaming isn't a horse this story is suited to ride on. It sucks.Secondly, the story is entirely absurd in every aspect. The MC is telling people things like "You once took a sh*t in your friend's toilet 17 years ago", and then he gives the moronic explanation, something along the lines of "I'm a skilled psychologist so I can naturally see itby reading your hairline". Come on author, please at least try to be creative, don't just give up. The characters are cliche and devoid of human nature, they are as flat as they can be written. You need to turn your brain all the way off if you want to enjoy it.Finaly, like all chinese novels, it's repetitive to no end and there's a lot of China number 1 stuff (as alwas).

    Nah. He's God from chapter one, it's never even a contest. He just has a paranoid personality that could get annoying if it's coupled with extreme stupidity or overly dense protagnoist.

    Out of the novels with the same basic concept, and I've read 4 others, I like this one the most. Decent, casual, relaxing. The protagonist is basically god. Give it a shot if you like novels that aren't too serious.Think of it as "I'm Actually A Cultivation Bigshot", but the MC isn't oblivious to his strength, he's just paranoid that someone might be stronger (spoiler alert, there is nobody stronger), and he's a bit lazy.

    Very bloated reviews. It's just another disciple with cheats novel. It doesn't matter which type of system it is, they are all carbon copies of each other. Extremely mid if you've already read any of the 5 trillion other "MC transmigrates into a murdered kid, gets cheats, shocks everyone, becomes a sect disciple" novels. Apart from that, there are translation errors. A 2.5 is a fair rating.

    This is absolute trash. How this novel has higher ratings is a mystery. The MC has the personality of a plank of wood (if I'm being generous), every single character he meets is portrayed cartoonishly "evil" or greedy, the story is just mind numbing, endless repetition. This novel reads like a bad wattpad fan fiction, written by a hormonal teenager back when Twilight was popular. A 1/5 is too high for this.

    Transmigrating into a video game was bad enough, this quirky new version is even worse. So many plot holes, the pacing is glacial. But, I guess it's my own fault for giving a video game novel a chance in the first place. The single worst novel genre of the 21st century. I don't understand the unbelievably bloated ratings on this novel.

    It's fine. I hope someone writes a story with a similar concept, but in a fantasy world filled with magical elements. This is basically just a historical novel. The MC ended up in a certain period, he's a history buff, he knows what's going to happen next, and talks about it with the king and his subordinates. For example, traveling back to ancient Rome and talking with Caesar, fixing his mistakes. Obviously there's no Caesar nor Rome here, but that's essentially what the novel is. It's a cool premise but it doesn't suit my personal preference as its just normal humans with our normal politics. There's no real plot.

    Modern world is ass, absolutely, but laying low is great (unless the MC is a completely passive loser). I would read an MC that lays low 1000x more than the average moronic teen faceslapping everyone he meets, that we get in so many novels.
