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 418: sun city

    Decent world building and I like the under use of the system, basically to hint at the power levels of everybody, and some skills. The addition of Fate power is new and pretty frustarting for the MC but it makes the story much better. MC seems overly cautious at first and some decisions don't make sense, but as the plot progresses, it all makes sense. The fast acting SSS rank soul poison is kinda op even against really powerful opponents, but I don't actually hate the lack of too much combat oriented writing.

    One thing I don't like is besides the MC and his harem, there don't seem to be many smart characters. They all fall for MC's schemes which is understandable considering his future knowledge, but them constantly taking Ls for MC to shine seems counter intuitive to what MC is doing to put them in positions of power while they look incompetent. Especially his grandmother, the Von Weise is so big yet their matriarch is just content without any information on the other families and their movements, as if they don't even have a spy network.

    Overall, it's a great story, aside from a few nit pick criticisms. The start of the novel may be pretty frustarting for new readers, but it's really good later on.

    I fell in love with this story & here is what to expect if your thinking of reading this gem. Scheming protagonist but not all knowing!  I love smart protagonist and the author manages to give him challenges without lowering his advantages. Aggressive Harem seeking!  I normally lose interest with large harem stories because of lack of interest in the members but the author has done a great job keeping them interesting and involving them in the story!The power system is actually awesome.  There are op classes and leveling but fate, authority, and order is a fantastic way to reign them in.  What the MC uses to get his advantage is an all out gamble using his knowledge and some luck that isn't repeatable which I really liked.  This is really his only "lucky" moment not really any "plot armor moments" in the story.I believe 99% of grammar is correct though I'm horrible at English only a couple of times I saw issues.  Mature story that MC is realistically perverted but it doesn't take over or ruin the story!    Has avoided using time skips and the aggressive hastening of world events which is one of my all time peeves when MC goes back and has future knowledge "oh that thing that absolutely shouldn't happen for another 10 years is starting or oh wow the apocalypse is starting 20 years early?" Sorry I don't do a lot of reviews but hope it helps someone!  Thanks for reading!

    Status: chapter 111 : charmed

    I will tell you now that the world this story happens is askew.  The thing you need to understand is that every man is a horny pervert. Just to be clear, I am not talking about pervert like they like some fetishistic stuff no. I am talking about they doing completely inappropriate stuff. For example, lusting towards your own son's lover is considered quite normal and common. Woman also seem to have almost no rights unless they happen to be strong enough. Well actually they do but they really don't. 

    However, if you can accept this weird culture as normal then story itself is actually pretty good. I would say author even has talent for surprising you. I did not see lot of things coming.

    Main character also written as a good guy but you need to understand something. He is a good guy in this straight up pervert culture. This means yes he does things in a very arguable way. Only if you consider the environment then you can see at the end of the day he tries to help people and only takes revenge for bad ones. To be honest, it took me lot of chapters to consider this guy could be a good person. It is just the culture here is really weird.

    One other thing that needs to be mentioned is that I would not really consider this as a progression fantasy. Progression does happen but it is mostly secondary here. It is more about people's schemes and the resulting drama. In this case, it seems to be any knowledge protagonist have from the future is more important than his own progression. This may change later on obviously.

    TLDR: This story happens in a very perverted world. So much so that you need to change your entire understanding of normal here. However, if you can do that then it is a pretty good story that may surprise you from time to time.

    Status: chapter 08 : the ceremony (2)

    I don’t really write reviews but I’ll try. This book is good overall with an interesting setting with a combination of Cultivator and Modern. The systems are pretty in-depth and interesting. But be warned the MC is unbearable. If you can ignore the antics of the main character and just love cool world building then I recommend this book.

    Status: chapter 286: the girls’ secret

    First World building is the biggest strength but also a big weakness, it is kind of slow because the plot gets bigger and bigger. Also, it is kind of annoying that he only has a "pseudo" harem.

    Spoiler

    He can not have s*x with the girls till now, maybe this will change after the wedding

    [collapse]
    The second thing that I find troublesome, is that there so many girls by now that I most of the time can not remember who is who. That is why only 4/5.
