P.S.
- I may be editing this novel continuously and some times will need to change some details to accommodate later chapters.
- I am publishing this on RR and WN, but the first release is always here.

I added a ko-fi account, so if you want faster chapters, consider a little donation, It would help me a lot.

    Status: chapter 123 : another dog?

    This is definitely the best story on this website, all of the complaints for stupid sh*t like him pretending to be an arrogant young master in public (which rarely happens) make no sense. Everything in this story follows a reasonable/logical chain of events. The world building is excellent, the characters all seem to have a bit of depth, and the setting got me hooked.

    my only regret is that there arnt 1000 chapters.

    Status: chapter 71 : lunch with father

    Come on just put a NTR warning in the synopsis so people who don't like this type of stuff know what they're getting into, I thought a MC with a second chance in life wouldn't have to go through that but clearly I was wrong.

    Status: chapter 147 : the truth

    Average Chinese-esque  type of story with all good and bad parts: face slapping, arrogant young masters (MC himself is arrogant young master), beauties toppling cities and so on.

    Around ch. 147 MC still doesn’t really have any structural hidden power (besides his harem with OP bloodlines) and in general he isn’t scheming or very intelligent type so for those who came for hidden schemes in shadows etc this is not that story. 

    But it’s decent enough story if u turn ur brains off.

    I can't recommend it to everyone, but it is good if you like this genre. As said previously, the MC generally seems intelligent mostly, does not put up with BS, and knows what direction he wants things to move in. Look at the tags to see if this type of novel is appropriate for you. I hope the author continues.

    Status: chapter 162 : about dungeons

    Hayyyyyssss... I really tried.. The concept is great. The writing style is also awesome. But, I just can't... Like why the f**k he has so many woman who are f**ked silly already by other men. Another thing is I understand he wants to be low-key but the f**k is the use of it if people are out to kill him anyways. His house has been attacked many times, so being low-key is just an utter nonsense. Because no matter he do something or not, people are out for his blood. So many scion it's not even that funny. He knows he is being plotted to death by many people but don't do sh*t. Traitors in his family are like dandruff... Women just become attracted to those scion for no reason it's not funny anymore. I have a lot more things I notice but..... hayyyssss I give up...

    Status: chapter 218: punishment(2)

    10/2023: I'm getting rather uncomfortable now. The 24/7 castrations against scumbags I could overlook, but now we're talking about castrating kids and even waiting for them to have their first time before doing so.

    3rd Update (Caught up) : The grammar is incredibly rough, riding the line between unreadable and readable at many points, with the first 10 or so chapters being in the unreadable category. Hopefully someone will fix the broken grammar for the author, as he seems willing to correct them.

    That being said the story itself is what you'd expect from a rough draft of a pretty good story. If this gets picked up by a publisher and the author does what he should, and rewrites/corrects the story, it should become really damn good.

    The best part about it is that side characters are almost never forgotten and tend to show up again eventually. The worst part is many side characters are very "placeholder" characters, especially the MC's father, who do nothing outside of helping the MC.

    Overall I give it more than 3 stars and less than 4. 100% worth a read if you can stand the grammar.

    Status: chapter 408: astran

    This novel, which may not cater to a professional critic, has my great admiration for its well-crafted storyline and twists. If you're into plots involving strategies, schemes and devious plans

    Spoiler

    I enjoyed very much where victor arranges a fake ring labeled '3'as treasure to scam the original finder of the treasure in the past time line into revealing their identity and making them buy the ring s 1 and 2 which may give him some money in the future. Also the part where he puts his blood into elixer making tom into his blood slave and then manipulating Tom was hilarious.

    [collapse]

     , this one's really good. What's particularly commendable is the author's effort in providing logical reasoning for all the fantasy elements, which is quite rare in similar works.. Unlike many typical novels where the MC's schemes work flawlessly, here MC often encounters unexpected problems, forcing the MC to resort to alternate plans or improvise on the spot unlike the usual one-dimensional plot progression, where the MC relies on an all powerful plot armor.

     The story moves between multiple POV's and stories which then comes together at key moments. Plus, there's this comedic approach for an revenge genre

    Spoiler

    knowing his backstory before time travel one might assume him being blood thirsty and mindless, after his family being destroyed infront of him and tortured by his eniemies

    [collapse]
    that adds a new and strangely cool vibe. The MC isn't just out for blood; he's playing it smart, making enemies trip over each other. 

    But, Some might not vibe with the main character's take on relationships with girls (which I also view skeptically) , and there's some dark humor that might not sit well with everyone. It's like, if you're cool with that, this work is a wild ride of strategy, laughs, and surprises. Just be ready for a bit of a rollercoaster depending on your taste.

    Honestly, give it a 150 chapter run

    It's good, but you need to read it to judge it. Don't fall for random reviews that can't even understand what they read

    Poor writing and general quality. It's like the amalgamation of everything bad about xianxia.

    MC acts and behaves like a slimy xianxia young master for a person who wants to stay lowkey. He does not display a demeanor or any shred of intelligence of a person who has lived for more than 200 years which you can chalk off as bad characterization.

    And lastly the grammar is quite iffy.
