This novel is complete mess. I got the impression that the author still has no idea what to write about. Most of the text looks like gibberish. The author has thrown a lot of very vague ideas into one pile and is constantly jumping from one idea to another. Moreover, the description of what is happening is so blurry that it looks like a complete absurdity: legacy, war, puppet emperor, creator, etc. - some kind of set of incoherent words and out of nowhere appeared characters that exist in a far away. The author also jumps in time into the future, then into the past. The cultivation system has only the names of the levels and nothing else. The author also constantly says that the main character did not control his actions and his mind was unstable, although there was nothing like that at all. In every second sentence, the word "system" is repeated: "he felt it in his system," "it infiltrated his system," etc. What's wrong with the author's (or translator's) system? Main conflict of novel: multiple personality disorder of MC. Seriously. Is this the plot of a fantasy novel? Of course, there is a huge amount of water and fillers in the novel. In general, reading this novel is a waste of time.

I understand what you are saying, it is my fault as well as an author. But, yeah, I am retouching those chapters from 1-200 for the reasons you've written. Those confusing things were to be explained in future chapters as they've got to have something to connect with. The pace was slightly slow that might have been fillers for you, I've even shown the creator and higher beings as well as from a different world in a vague manner. Those mentioned were not to confuse readers, but to give an idea of what to expect in the book as I didn't want to make it a generic cultivation novel. In the current chapters, things were slightly explained about how things were connected. However, I want to thank you for reading this work of mine.

Hi. Spoilers are not the thing which one should use to make connections with future events or show readers what to expect from the novel. It's like at the start of a detective story write who are the murder. And fillers is things which have no influence on a plot, not the "slow pace" of a story development. Better to let readers explore secrets of the world together with main character than expose them right away. And again - personality disorder as main plot hook? Why?

I see why it is problematic not to leave some foreshadowing, which is what I am still dealing with. What you mentioned about personality disorder as the main plot hook wasn't actually the hook. Which is why, I admit that I made flaws in my novel, and I am learning bit by bit from them. Readers might get confused, which I am guilty of. I don't mean to leave any spoilers, but the personality trope shows about the MC's problems and background. More specifically, how he became powerful in his previous world. And that was necessary to establish the MC's character in the later chapters, focusing on cultivation (martial arts and mystical arts) solely. I also meant to create the world and believable side characters with their own story in the same novel, which is not a good approach I guess since it is a "filler". But filler is common, people even call flashbacks as filler if they were unnecessary. But literally, fillers were just breakers. Would you read a novel with just all the actions? Won't it make the scenes repetitive? So yeah, that's why I am retouching the chapters since they reek of my amateurness.
