In my humble opinion, this novel is a very poorly written shonen. For the shonen part, its the nakamas, the love, the loyal good attitude, on a neverending journey with petty enemies. Now for the poorly written part, the list is quite long. Of all the xianxia/xuahuan novels I have read, I have never seen as-many brain-dead characters as in here. Enemies ALL have the same mentality, petty af, short-sighted, if they find out the MC is stronger, they will either run and lie to get stronger guys to come, or they will still attack the MC and die. NO EXCEPTIONS. MC kills almost everyone, and it's not even enjoyable or remotely suspenseful. Another infuriating thing is the bystanders. They are all incredibly stupid as well. Whether they can"t see the level of the fighters, or can suddenly magically see it. They will ALWAYS be wrong. Not even once will you see a bystander state that some guy will win and be right. This absolutely RUINS the narration. You can also add the insufferable summaries every few chapters. the author seems to have a lot of trouble filling the word quotas for his chapters, so he will resume either the whole arc or the whole novel. After a few hundred chapters, this takes 3/4 paragraphs with the same content. This novel is also poor story-wise. There are a few themes that cycle again and again. After a hundred chapters you will have read all the novel's plot. Like a neverending cycle, you'll read about a berated MC, killing organizations, fighting for his life and eventually winning. Tournaments, Rankings, Super strong guys that should one-shot the MC losing. Weak guys seeing that but still going after MC, cycling through the whole killing organizations, tournament, rankings. and again, and again, and again. 3 reasons to kill the MC, he's obviously weak, his GF is too pretty, revenge. The story is full of flags. Depending on the introduction "x doted on by y", x will die first, y will come, then die. "I, x am above you, trash", x will die. "x will rape your GF", x will die. Essentially, everyone that is not kneeling to MC will die. The last thing that makes me roll my eyes 20 times per chapters is the extreme display of emotions. The author failed in the beginning and used extremes to describe faces, anger, astonishment, so as the story progresses, he wants to show weirder faces, more anger, more astonishment. This makes the narration absolutely absurd. This has been a very smooth read because every time I see a paragraph starting with that, I KNOW for a fact, that the whole paragraph is just an even more absurd way to say "angry", "astonished", "terrified", "ashamed". so I just skip to the next paragraph. The translation is OK. Even if, by reflex, I put 5/5 on all the chapters, in all of them, you will see some TL comments or missing words, grammatical errors, switch up for character names, places, past events. Or just plainly replacing names or concepts as the translation goes on. I say its OK because, despite all that, there is no problem understanding the story, and as long as you remember it enough, you can spot the mistakes and adjust your reading. I get the feeling that the translation was better in the beginning and the TL team changed though.

Yea this review is pretty correct. I think MC is pretty stupid, first of all: He found that he has artifact that can help him to reincarnate from 0. But he doesn't want to use it on Di Tian, he doesn't even try hard to get to 9th level. Also he has a lot of technics, without any description. I really don't know what MC is using now, at ALL. His constellations now are complete mystery, really. I don't even shore which he took. There is problem with emotions or characters, really! They all feal dead! All girls want to **** MC. All boiz want to kill him. And a lot more bull****
