Quick summary how the story goes: Someone tries to attack one of the MC's girls, MC gets angry and kills his whole clan/family, it angers someone else who tries to attack MC's girls for revenge, repeat This book's author makes it very hard to remain interested in his book. Overall I like the world he built but, he makes repeated stupid plot choices that make it hard to even keep reading. After this review I have decided to put this one hold and read something else and maybe my frustration with the authors horrible writing habits will go down enough to finish the book. Someone hitting on or trying to steal one of the MC's wives, female family members or other female friends happens about every 20-30 chapters (not an exaggeration). This same plot progression is regurgitated over and over and over (x500). He writes the MC's wives into idiots. The MC tells them that he is leaving to go look for resources and he may even be gone years in the process and tells them to wait for him at the City they just spent hundreds of chapters working to build. This place was meant to be their home for their family to live in peace. So when the MC vanishes for 10 years what do the idiots do? The leave to look for the MC. Because the idiots left, after just 2 years the City they worked so hard on starts to be corrupted and slow taken over by their enemies. But, where were the MC's most trusted and powerful people who he left behind to protect the city? They went looking for the MC going through an array leading to a small world where many Hidden Sects are located. What makes this all the more stupid is that at the exact moment he returns from the Small word the group of idiots entered the array leading them in just as he went out. Oh and had the MC not returned at that exact moment the idiots would have all been killed because it was the MC returning that allowed them to survive the trip through the array. But, the stupidity continues later when the MC finally decides to go look for the idiots (his wives) and of course at just the moment he enters the array another random array pops up in the Small world and of course the idiots decide to go through to return to their Husband but, of course that would be to simple and the array ends up sending them to an even higher plane despite the fact that they supposedly already confirmed the array would lead them back home. The best part of this book is the fact that it in-cooperates Modern Tech with the Cultivation world but, the author seems to have become bored with that and has now starting writing your average Cultivation LN. Tossing out the unique aspects of the book now that you got your readers on the line is simply bad writing. After reading the spoiler below its good to see someone else felt where I was coming from.

This novel is very similar to another "modern setting" novel by the same author. In fact, a lot of the plot were borrowed, but less polished. After "tricking" his users into liking this novel and get it on the shelves (where the author would be paid) the author changed the theme. The MC will go to other plaines and the story will be changed into your average cultivation harem story. IE: there will be a lot of recycled plots in this order: MC finds the entrance to another area/plain. Leaves everything behind and goes there. Finds himself extremely weak compared to the others in that area. Strong opponent appears who is interested in MC's treasures and/or girls. MC escapes is constantly in hiding and escaping. He finds some treasures (usually in some auction) and resources, trains, levels up. Immediately there will be some anonymous opponents which will be offed by MC. MC defeats all his previous opponents. Opens up a store/city/clan and becomes the strongest. *repeat. A lot of text will be wasted on introducing new fantasy material and equipment. Whereas the first few 100 chapters in modern setting there were some female leads who had some character (albleit annoyingly), they will be reduced to a few mentions. Newer female characters are introduced, but have flat personalities but will eventually be just another addition to the harem never to be evolved anymore. There will be a lot of buildup, where new characters are on an adventure with the MC, but the author will soon abandon their roles in the story. The author tries to fill up gaps by having the MC going back to the lower plains but the explanation rarely is satisfying and rather forced. Thumbsup for the attempts though. The final third of the novel has some annoying time skips, where the MC will be injured/training/meditating/captive/on the run/creating stuff for decades and even centuries. I think the record is 1000 years, where he gets freed from an injury. The rest of the world just happens to remain the same for 1000 years. Nothing happens. All this enemies will just wait for 1000 years before they get into fight with MC's friends in order for the MC to come and save the day. It becomes ridicilous when in the end he visits the lower plains where the author remention forgotten characters and attempts to explain the MC's past (and implicitly explains the novel's title). With al the timeskips, MC would have left earth for thousands of years. But when he goes back to earth, he'd still be able to go back to his own city... The ending is rushed as the author apparently had some problems with the publisher. Conclusion: nice try, try again harder next time.
