Sit back, turn off your brain, and stuff yourself with this junk food novel! I would also like to add that this novel is a touch more romance heavy! A touch!
I also post on Royal Road but Scribble will be my main site to update.

As of this review, I have read 39chs.
This review will be the first for this work, so I focus on the positives of the story.
This is a story about the journey and not the destination, it focuses on the MC and the world (s) around him while taking Cultivation and the Chinese Fantasy as a world building material and not the direct content.
What I mean is, this is not your typical cultivate to face slap people loop but just a story of the Mc's journey in the Cultivation world (s) and as you read, you discover that although he is overpowered (a lot) that power does not make him an edge lord because it feels like it's just another block of the chain which is the story as a whole.
The dialogue is done well, shows to us what is happening instead of spoon-feeding us which leave you speculating about this and that, drawing conclusions and waiting for the next chapter to check wether they hold out true.
Overall, this is so far the best cultivation story with light romance that does it right. No face slapping, no trashlations and most importantly no dumb romance, which typically is either the MC sleeps with every woman or he doesn't touch a single one, no, this one does it right.
Obviously nothing is perfect and you may find flaws in this work but so far it is a great read and easily my top cultivation read ever, even though there are stories with 2k chapters out there, it's all a loop of sh*t, honestly, or good action packed one but with a sis-con MC or no romance at all which leaves the story bland.
So again, I know I'm repeating myself and gosh this review is so long but bear with me and if you read such a long review, then might as well check the first 10 chapters. (Note that it gets better quality too as you go).
All in all 4/5 stars-
TL;DR: Cultivation story done right. Finally a good story about the journey and not a face slapping loop with braindead translations, also the romance is light but great and not pure dumb or awkward- better than any typical chinese author novel/manga -- Not another cultivation story, but THE cultivation story.

This is good. I like the fact that this novel doesnt contain long ass training montage or chapters. The MC is alreadg OP from the beginning and im glad he's not a passive one like idle cliche cultivator novel MC.

Rather new type of cultivation novel
So first of all this is the best cultivation novel I have read... the MC is somone who obsessively desires knowledge and is genius AF like the best brain in all MCs.. the novel has a wonderful romance that is the BEST there is in any cn novel.. this is a possible (not for now) harem but the way character interactions occur are truly right at the top of what could be. the novel does not leave much to desire as it entraps u as u slowly become addicted to it...I for one am excited to read what happens next.... AUTHOR UPDATE!!!
ANYWAYS so the story is quite good the MC is not a pushover but an actual anti hero who would rather the world burns in exchange for knowledge.. but don't worry he has true feelings for the heroines... do give it a try as it is better than any cultivation novel out there??
Also THIS IS NOT CLICHE BUT A HIDDEN GEM....??

What author write in synopsis is true, you need to shut your brain a bit to read this, because this is not harem, you will read MC flirt with Heroine and I dunno if it was correct explanation, sometimes MC going to flirt with other woman too but not intimate like doing it with Heroine.
You will get the feeling 'will she be with MC?' something like that, but in fact nope, except author will add the Tag.
MC is shameless indeed, but this make the story not boring.
I dont recomend you to read it now, because you will get cliffhanger, but the story itself good.
If you tired reading Harem, you can read this.
I dunno if author will read this review or not, but I hope you can write more sweet between MC and Heroine, the current sweet is good, but maybe you can add more sugar, so you can add another spice except the MC shamlessness.

This novel a bit different from your usual cultivation novel, which in this case is good and refreshing. I think the main selling point here is the MC and his interaction with the others. But it's start to deteriorate around chapter 90+. MC basically is non existent and the story just full of cliffhanger and side character that it's become chore to read.
I will give 4 star though for the new experiences this novel give me until at least chapter 90
