Review Detail of sinkingship in Global Reincarnation: Becoming A God With My Unlimited Revive

So let me say at the top: I enjoyed this novel and would probably recommend reading it if you enjoy the genre. Compared to other, similar, novels it has a somewhat unique premise. Although MC constantly killing himself to accumulate more and more skill is, in many ways, very similar to other novels where the MC kills enemies or does lucky draws or whatever to gain skills, it's actually quite different. Because the MC has to die each time he wants a new skill, the author completely sidesteps 99% of "cultivation nonsense" that eats up a great deal of the word count in other novels. After all, if the MC is going to explode his body and change to a new one next chapter, there isn't much point in talking about "opening the eight extraordinary meridians" or whatever in this chapter. Therefore, MC's power upgrades all come directly in the form of skills or advancing his "soul rank" (at least in the currently available chapters). For me, that was a massive plus. I've read too many novels where chapters upon chapters are dedicated to nothing but describing magical BS methods of circulating qi, or upgrading blood, or genes, or bones and meridians, or whatever. Having a novel that just completely excises all of that while maintaining other trappings of the genre felt like a breath of fresh air. In the novel, MC plays the role of a summoned pet, but he also often throws away his body (and current master) away in order to get summoned by a different master in a different world in order to have access to more resources and power up faster - so the novel also captures some of the feel of a quick transmigration novel with it's rapidly changing settings that the MC only plays around in for a while before moving on. For me, that was a plus. That said, there are a few issues that drag it down. The biggest one is probably how all of MCs "masters" are basically the same character. Male or female, it's always a weak, soft-spoken person who MC can easily push around and take the dominant role of the relationship despite being a "summoned pet". The singular exception to this trope is a master from a race of comically evil cannon fodder-types, who immediately tries to kill the MC the second he comes out of the summoning portal. (The MC to explodes himself and kills the cannon fodder... along with all his friends/family presumably) By having all of the MC's masters be pushovers the author "cleverly" avoids the issue of having the macho wish-fulfillment male protagonist guy needing to act subservient, even though his status as a "summoned beast" should really make subservience an unavoidable reality for him. So if you were expecting anything thought-provoking or interesting on that front, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Another issue is that the MC is... a psychopath? He repeatedly explodes himself without blinking. Later in the story when his explosion power becomes too powerful to use casually, he takes to instead stabbing himself with sharp things or ripping his own heart out with his bare hands in order to reincarnate. And the author directs exactly zero percent of the word count towards how ripping their own heart out might affect a person emotionally - it's just written plainly like that in one or two lines and then we move on to the next adventure. He doesn't even have any skills like "Pain Resistance" or "Mental Fortitude" or anything else that would create some sort of in-universe explanation for why the MC can calmly face death without blinking. He just can. In short, it's a cultivation novel that doesn't get bogged down too much by the details of cultivation. It's a fun power fantasy adventure novel that doesn't bother to think too hard about why the MC is so driven and focused on going on adventures or challenge your expectations for how a male protagonist should behave in any way. Li Xuan's main (read: only) motivation is getting stronger and behaving overbearingly, and that's all you need to know. In the background, there is some vague "main plotline" about worlds (including Earth) being destroyed, which is why there are all these reincarnators running around in close proximity and why the Earthlings need to fight off other refugees of destroyed worlds from other races but... you know how it goes. All that boring stuff takes a backseat to MCs never-ending quest to grow stronger. It's alright for what it is.
