On the surface, Xi Tianyi was the only son of Sword Empress Xi of the Buzhou Immortal Sect, the number one expert in the Huang Realm. His birth was noble, his status exalted. But the truth was that Xi Tianyi was actually a reincarnated man from a world known as Earth.
On Earth, he was no one special, but with his new life, Xi Tianyi aims to reign invincible: past, present, and future. Among his goals was to travel back to Earth and reunite with his family.
However, as Xi Tianyi proceeds further on his Immortal path, he discovers that rather than the protagonist, why does he seem more like the cannon fodder villain?

Rarely seen such a good novel (and even more a xianxia one)
If I must find a comparison it would be <History’s Strongest Senior Brother> since it's a story about someone being reincarnated into a villain young master type background and having multiple main protagonist-like geniuses crossing his path.
But I find this novel better because it's not like other parodies where almost everything is ridiculous, here it's a serious parody (it doesn't mean it's not fun, only that the funny things are more carefully manipulated) and the author doesn't just throw typical xianxia events one after the other but explain them. It makes it so that it's a true story with a true background and true characters (the treatments of side characters is just exceptionnal, I NEVER saw such a good characters develepment/background)
It's also very refreshing that for once the MC's life isn't some sort of tragedy/living hell (even if a lot of other characters will have sad past T-T)
The only negative traits WAS that the MC was f*cking passive in the early chapters (until a few tens of chapters, the MC was intereted in almost nothing, not even your typical main character setting. In the early chapters he totally ignored them -_-) luckily it changes a lot and although he's not the most proactive MC ever, he's not passive anymore and he pays a lot more attention to what's happening around him. It's the only thing I can reproach in all the novel till now and it's already resolved xD
I have nothing more to say other that you should at least give it a try, you'll not be disappointed

ive always been looking for a cn novel or cn inspired novel that subverts expectations and I thought I found the one.. but this novel have a cockroach villain lmao. sad.
author also tries to incorporate so many gods and goddesses from many religions which could be interesting... only if u already have a stablished world. he is taking so many parts that may sound cool from other novels but it just leads to confusion bcoz theres so many.
imagine if the MC was so strong to the point that he explored the whole world or continent and then suddenly he found a mural depicting Zeus stepping on a beaten opponent that turns out to be tge strongest recorded cultivator of ancient time? that would have been a holy shet moment and can lead to the next arc where he can introduce the Olympians. but no. we got cockroach dude lol.

It's fairly entertaining and quite a good read aside from the grammar that is occasionally off.
The writing style is nice, though does need some refinement as many colloquialisms being only slightly butchered with phonetically similar words often appear. Grammar is fairly rough, likely a good proofreader giving it a rake will make it smooth while a good editor will make it shine.
The story is nice, though it could use a little less filler in the later chapters where it becomes a slight chore to read anything unrelated to the protagonist as there is a divide between the reader and the characters that are not directly related to the main character (we basically know nothing about them and have a harder time caring about what they do no matter how important it may be to the story at large).
The world-building is sparse, with few places given any real details, but it is hardly noticed unless one looks for it in most of the chapters since the characters are usually fleshed out enough to detract from the lack of environmental details.
The grammar has me on the ropes, I dislike constant grammar errors in my reading materials but can tolerate it in an entertaining story. I cannot express how much good grammar improves the reading experience by allowing a more accurate portrayal of the author's intentions. Proper spelling can affect word flow, proper punctuation can affect the meaning of a string of words, and proper wordplay changes a snap-back into a beautiful comeback too witty to be comprehended in a single sitting. The English language is a nightmare that even some native speakers and writers will never truly master in their lives but for those who master it, like mastering any other language in the world, gain a tool that can express something more than just the sum of their words.

Very good xianxia novel, the only thing I want is a little bit of romance and it will be perfect.

I dont really like harem, but this is one of the story I thought would be good with harem. Why:
- MC way too passive. Especially regarding woman. But complain when all that he save is man.
- Heroine is one of the worse. Though side character got a good heroine.
- We got several good background character, but they got no futher story. Coz they stay as background character
- As a way to expand the story. Coz I think author lose inspiration, hence many ally got downgrade and many enemies escape death.

The author decided to try and write a story where the main character intersects with various 'stereotypical' xianxia protagonists as the Young Master from the Best Sect. The MC Xi Tianyi is a reincarnated soul born as the son of a cultivator immortal princess, who would really like all this face-slapping and self-centered drama to cool off.
The various characters are entertaining, and the world-building is pretty nice. Tons of side-stories happen to introduce and show the 'protagonists' that the MC encounters.
Some of the story arcs can get a bit meandering, but the author likes to swap perspectives enough to make the whole thing good enough in the duller parts.
The cultivation challenges for Xi Tianyi as the story progresses are pretty creative as well.

Cultivation are not my cup of tea and I really like tea but sometimes stories like these show up were the concept seems different or unique and this hits, the mark as always young master are in the cultivation world but you are the young master made out to be the villain to the "protagonists".

The story is a great and a fun read. The world is built great while still feeling that the focus is not shifted away from the main character, all the characters are believable and work well with their quirks and tropes that they are based on, except the main character. There aren’t a lot of grammatical issues, or ones noticeable enough by me to ruin my experience. All in all, the story is worth reading.
Now, about my one and only complaint, which really isn’t a complaint. On the tin, the story advertises itself as following a male lead that acts like an arrogant young master cannon fodder. However, the MC doesn’t act like that at all. Rather than being an arrogant young master, he acts like a wise old helpful elder, who just so happens to be a young master of the largest sect.
The only people in the story that treat the MC like an arrogant young master are people aware of the trope
transmigrators and reincarnators
However, this complaint is a small one that doesn’t ruin my enjoyment of the story.

Lots of comedy and mother care! There is even Warning this is a major spoiler and only happens in the early hundredth to late 90's
a female fox clone of the MC, so some daughter and mother time possibly in the future!
Great story and with a stable release of chapters! There is more mother son bonding time in future chapters so don't worry if there ids not much of that in the beginning!

Good comedy, good action, interesting characters.
Delves deeper into the enemies motivations, it's got cliches but with plot twists.
