It's been months since I've read this novel and I stopped at chapter 821, so I can't exactly remember the names of characters, cultivation bases, etc. My only beef with this novel is that almost every story arc is a weak-to-strong arc which will then introduce a bunch of new and more powerful characters before ending the current story arc. You see, the story arc will begin where the MC will have the lowest cultivation base (but of course given that he's the MC, he's more powerful compared to the cultivators with the same cultivation base as him), while the characters around him are one or two full realms higher than him. Let's say these are the names cultivation bases (this isn't the exact realm names used in this novel... I think) which we will refer as "full realm" with the Mortal Realm being the lowest: ● Mortal Realm ● Earth Realm ● Sky Realm And then each realm is divided by low, mid and high which we will refer as "sub-realms": ● Low Mortal Realm ● Mid Mortal Realm ● High Mortal Realm But before the story arc ends or just when the MC is a step away in defeating all the "powerful" characters in the current story arc, the author will introduce another bunch of new powerful characters in preparation for the next arc with one or two full realms higher compared to the MC. Because of this, the MC's achievement in the current story arc gets overshadowed by the new powerful characters because the enemies that are two full realms higher can beat the **** out of him so he has no choice but to either run or be taken as a hostage in the meantime before getting revenge. This is what pisses me off the most. For me, after reading a weak-to-strong story arc, I want the next story arc to be where the MC gets to flaunt his achievements. I don't want to read a story where it feels like the MC is constantly the underdog. Sure, this novel has a "weak-to-strong" tag, but at least give us a break from it from time to time. This is why in my opinion the novel [Chaotic Sword God] is superior to [God of Slaughter]. With [Chaotic Sword God], the author uses three types of story arcs to give the story balance: ● A story arc where the MC is the underdog. ● A story arc where the MC is stronger than his opponents. ● A story arc where both the MC and his opponents are evenly matched. However, because of this, it also made the MC's progress with his cultivation very, very slow. But hey, there's no such thing as a perfect novel, right?
