Overall opinion - normal story, that suffers from heavy plot armor of mc, his own plainness compared to his "elders" and lack of story drive to actually be intrested in heavy reading. Most importantly "villain" which is defined as mc role doesnt mean he will be doing evil stuff or smth about being evil. It means that he is inhumanly genious that crushes common sense of this world, hence crushing spirit of his enemies and inducing despair on them - hence evil doer or villain (in their eyes). More precise opinion - Good: 1 - intresting story beginning with right amount of mystery about mc and his current place of living. 2 - good and funny elders with defined character and not som plane "super masters" kinda chars that do nothing but shower mc with good stuff. 3 - good qualuty of translation and update speed which helps in understanding story even with my lvl of english. 4 - good description of mc growth, his character and his struggles on the way of cultivation of power. He actually intrested about stuff going on around him, which helps him to avoid truble instead of brute force his way. Bad: 1 - heavy plot armor, that almost throws all the good stuff to mc. Sure thing he is hardworking, but this story lacks (just like many of same genre) any real pressure on reader since he knows that mc will get good stuff anyway which makes all mystery and potential danger nullified. 2 - mc is too plain and boring when compared to his "elders". Its just mine problem perhaps, but i cant help myself to be more intresded in them rather then mc. Reason? Mc doesnt struggle really hard nor is he achieves his power through death and life dangers. Hes is just gets evr good just by living or walking around and finding som great stuff. I am more intrested in uncle butcher, how powerful he was and what led him to such tragic end, what Granny is tormented by and so on. While mc..... he is just abandoned child and has superior body that allows him to be all powerful? I'd be more intrested if he achieved that himself through surpassing dangers and stuff. Thats why its 1 for char design of mc. 3 - story development.... its just too common. Mc just finds super rare stuff or martial arts everywhere. Or his elders drop som great stuff on him. While mc is quite passive and doesnt do anything really, just walks and PUF - new cave with treasures or som aportunity to learn or get good stuff. I cant be really intrested in this, more so with boring mc (for me atleast). 4 - world building... its neither good nor bad. Its just strange. There is super op empire and super dangerous grounds.... but it all seems unimportant cuz op empire is just som backround stuff while dangerous grounds doesnt really show any danger to mc due to plot armor and instead acts as treasure ground for mc. And even when empire will start to act... its just wont be that important nor pose any danger to mc... Instead it may become another stepping stone for mc. And later there will be even more op group anyway (not spoiler, just common stuff). Thats all. Sorry for bad english.

I feel like this is one of those stories where we read it to figure out more about all the other characters and what they are thinking instead of actually caring about the MC and what he is doing because he is so dull when compared to the rest of the characters. Maybe down the line the MC will actually have a challenge.
