Review Detail of USaVillage in Omnipotent Sage

I started this novel because, frankly, I liked the cover art... that combined with the title word "Sage" I was hoping for a more balanced and sensible character progression with more reasonable behavior and goals... When he struggled with a general army cultivation method from a BiL, I was happy... when he was nice to his "new" family, I was content.... When he became a blacksmith apprentice for some clan/family coverage, I was ecstatic (though I should have picked up on him not doing much if any smithing)... Then things became OK... THEN then things became "I'll just go with it"... BUT there was almost a reprieve, he was going to awarded a fief in what we think of as western China/ Mongolia-esque and he lamented not having a "home and place to fit in and belong"...OK, now he's going to act his mental age and here come's my original goal I thought... he's going to carve out a balanced, long-term existence for himself where other's can't screw with him... NOPE NOPE NOPE, he didn't develop ****, he pawned off everything to subordinates that followed him... he closed-door it... he began face-slapping everywhere... I've given up Oh Yeah... The thing preventing higher cultivators from messing with "mortal" business is CRAP... no one is willing to spend energy to activate the book and everyone knows it... they can use words and money to manipulate and that's different from hands-on (what BS is this)... AND puppet kings/ emperors want to cultivate the "Way of the Emperor" (does a person bringing home takeout get credit as a chef)
