I'm obviously going to be biased because I'm the current and original translator since my Zelsky site days, but this novel is one of my favourites. I don't normally read novels during my free time but I love catching up with the raws every week so I know how the story progresses. Fang Yuan - a great main character, he's pure evil and ruthless. Only his goal of immortality matters, and anything or anyone who gets in his way, he will destroy. He is smart and plans well, and constantly has to find ways to overcome his enemies, which are usually stronger than him. The world building is great, the characters are smart, there are barely any of those dumb kind of characters around. It is constantly stressed that usually whoever can make it to Rank 6 and above are 'the top of the top' of humans and are very smart, never to be underestimated. The story develops well, introducing new factions, enemies and 'allies'. There is no harem, no 'stupid female character', no romance involving the main character so far (not counting past life events) and author likes to make sure the main character is not too OP, and always tries to make sure that every Gu has a weakness that can be countered. So there is no absolute 'most-powerful Gu' in this world. At over 1800 chapters, the raws still have much mystery to be solved, but so far while there has been ups and downs and 'boring parts' the overall is still a good read.

LIKEChicaalterego:Sounds a bit like Warlock of the Magus World... well, putting aside the Gu bit. I will likely give it a read after I get the crave for villain stories, since now I'm bloated after bingeing the last 200 chapters of WMW that I had to read to reach the end.
Small_cold_hands:>There are no strong Gu here. >Spring Autumn Cicada haha cool story bro
Cemall:He cant use that every time when he used it he must wait until its energy charged
Cemall:Ä°ts controls the time it must be overpowered but not like re:zero he can change everytime
Just think about it. You can use this Gu everytime when enemy beats your ass with ~1 year (or less) cooldown. I meaning immortal rank. 8 think this Gu has two weakness. First: when enemy 7 or higher immortal. And second: when your rank higher that 6

It's too risky since it involve detonating yourself...but spring autumn cicada is a good backup plan
Small_cold_hands:I don't think that Cicada imba just because all Immortal Gu strange and mystical. You can dominate in part of continent and be invincible with Attacking lvl6 Gu. But the cicada is still a bit overboard. Too dishonest
The spring autumn cicada is not the only OP rank 6 and it has no atack power he can't control it it and has a high chance of failure plus their are others OP gu like reincarnation etc or those folks with stupid amazing luck. What baffles me.is how he managed to get lucky enough to live two hundred years at rank 2 before the lucky encounter that raised his talent the first time
