I seriously do not understand how this fic has as high of a rating as it really doesn't live up any standard of quality writing that you'd expect from any lightly edited fiction novels. However, I'd like to be fair and give props where due so...

Pros

1. An honestly fresh take on an external system giving rewards by reviewing the mc's future till death

2. The attitude of the MC isn't terrible either, as of chapter 8 he doesn't come off as a edge lord or self aggrandizing tool yet. He also dislike Xiao Yan's perverted actions so big plus from me, creeps are disgusting.

Cons (oh boy there's a few)

1. The prose is horsesh*t, which isn't all that surprising since this an mtl but it still makes me want to claw my eyes out, this in its original language could be the most beautiful writing still doesn't change the fact in English, sucks.

2. You'd like to think since this is a fanfic the setting already established it'd expand upon that with the mc's view and the brand new world he inhibits. Nope, little to nothing in descriptions aside from land marks like mountain, manors, springs and nothing more. 

3. Despite being reincarnated it has no consequence on the story, like what? That's a pretty big detail never explore. It's the same in canon, but this isn't canon, could've just given the MC the books and that would have been far more interesting.

4. The impetus for the need for strength is literally "I feel grateful for my clan not abandoning me when my parents died" and it's not even talked about beyond that! Geez, you think by now strength for the sake of strength would bore most people to tears, plain and simple lazy writing.

5. The system while unique (imo) is so dry and uninsured in the way it's used in story. Like really, have the MC not just review the future but live it while FEELING it. Imagine if in the future he falls in love and the system's reviewing ruins any chance of the relationship happening? How devastating and or painful that'd be? You know, interesting developments that impact characters? That the system isn't just a boon but actually a bit more complex than a prophetic slot machine.

6. Narratives? What's that? Is it tasty? Ffs, give me some character perspective beyond, "bad" "good" "that weird" caveman level insight. The narrative, and there's only one, reads like someone Journaling someone's diary while summarizing every action. Goddamn, didn't realize this was scribblehub and not sparks notes till I hit the comments section.

Conclusion

Read the original btth, it's better in literally every way. Admittedly I've only read to chapter 8 but if I can't stick out the chapters that are suppose to hook me like every piece of literature then I highly doubt the rest will. If you truly feel compelled to read this just be prepare to turn off your brain otherwise the slightest brain activity might hurt when you actually think about what's going on in story.

Anything would be a better use of your time than reading this trash and being disappointed like me.

Chapter 77 finally ends the Prequel of the story now we move on to the main plot. It has been a fun read so far and I like the MC a lot [well I did]. Looking forward to more! EDIT: The canon timeline has felt less satisfying than the Prequel, Hope it gets better. Also there is NO real harem development as of yet, just going around and healing people. The lack of harem development is not a lack of beauties trying to woo him, it is just he turns them all down. The story is good for a BTTH, but if your here for harem it is lacking.

This was an interesting idea, but poor execution. It quickly deteriorates in quality, or rather, the novelty waning wasn't enough to carry the fading interest in the dull plot and characters.

While the start was alright, it quickly becomes mundane and boring. The New MC is more mature, however he is as dull as a box of rocks. His character is not interesting at all. The Gimmick is not particularly interesting anymore either, as it hardly contributes to the story in any meaningful way as the 'cheat' that the story is named after.  At this point it's lost use, and is only brought up every now and then so you don't forget he has it.

In short, after the initial novelty runs dry, it is no longer interesting.
The only reason I am sticking to it still is
1) I'm curious how the relations will go, if they may be a reason to get interested in it again, or if the author is gonna try to pokemon them all.
The only one who is tolerable is Zi Yan as she isn't just a trophy wife like how the others are acting however there has been ZERO character development in any characters ZY included, and ZY is only likable because her original character and even then its sad to see her continuously act stupid and childish, no longer silly and adorable.  
2) Its something to have on the backburner for when you've nothing else to read.

First 25 are pretty good. 25-50 (training arc second half) is pretty boring. Mostly because it's just solo (well yeah literally solo training so I don't know what I expected) and there aren't much character interactions. Or well... none besides killing some small time thugs etc. 

Tbh ch25-50 is very skippable: 

Anyways, I'm starting 50+ now and as far as I know and the translator had mentioned, there will be a lot more actual characters introduced so my expectations are high. I'll give this a 3.5 stars for now.

UPDATE c86 (On the same day as first posting this review) :

 The MC has a really pleasant personality. I think a lot will read because of this alone. He's polite but not a pushover (yes, he kills too). Since c50, the story has picked up a lot and it's become increasingly entertaining w/ more interactions. Right now I'll give it about a 4.2-4.3 stars. But I do see this rating going up with the progression I see.

The MC has the development of a compound brick, the Author is just trying to make him ooze out this passive coolness but he just looks like an asshole in the end.

Harem???, well there's none he's just going around healing people and trying to be awesome , take that as you will as for why the tag is even still there I have no idea

MC's end goal? Who knows there has been no cohesive plot as of yet he's just simulating and the Author keeps going to lengths to nerf him every single time, if you give your character an OP system see it through don't try and justify his strength for some idiotic reasons like "a flower in a green house can't survive wind and frost", bitch please no damn flower can survive wind and frost whether you are in a green house or not

So far it was good story but the main problem is that he is too genius not really a genius because of the simulation her power level up into short time in just 15 years old he is now six tier alchemist or in 10 years practicing and entering simulation (simulation: he can get a item like seven tier in simulation life and talent but the talent as far it show and it was alchemist talent not really a high level or a heaven defying Talent genius idk how it works but it only show he only get one talent and it was alchemist and my main problem is that how he got into high level 6-tier I know it was like he was just protagonist and the world revolves into her not like that, the author really explain it well but not deep and you can really expect it..  Unlike the main protagonist of the world In BTTH the main character really revolves world into her like he almost died and master show up and take her as disciple y'all know like that and getting heaven defying treasure in the side ways or market and even stone mystery ya know... And plus btth main character is alchemist too and he only have low talent but because of master ring her talent show up?  Or due to knowledge he got from grandpa vulnerable realm and grandpa is not even alchemist and only know little and it doesn't explain how did the main character know it with low talent and even progressing into 3rd tier alchemist easily and going too far common sense..) IDK how to explain it but it was better than other fanfic novel that MC only know dog sh*t brain dead and has foul mouth like Main protagonist world and fighting anyone and only teaming with girls or beautiful girls that impact the growth of MC and MC just say thank you and that's it and get other girl that stronger or wealthy family and slapping young master y'all know I don't want to explain it now and that's it thanks for reading my review this is recommended novel and I have 3 years experience in novel if you want a heroic and dumbsh*t MC and no braindead and getting harem everywhere he went as long she is beautiful and offending other and just saying it was the young master fault why he is marrying beautiful girl and he is only worthy to her and that slapslap...

I like this more than the original BTTH, which is not hard as I did not like the MC there all that much. So I would say you can rate this the same you would BTTH with a +1. 

The cheat of the MC here is a bit... meh. It is later hardly mentioned and only of importance to get him some items or info he bases his next plan on. Which might have been possible to implement without it. It might be interesting to see if we ever get some info about its origins later on, but I doubt it to be honest. Though I am open for a surprise there.

Of note is that this is a translation (it is mentioned in the description), with the quality of it being quite good.

Keep up with the quality. I registered just to rate this fanfic into 5 stars. Unlike other fanfic out there that practically doesn't change the story line of the original stories, afraid that they could not do better than the original that makes their fanfic practically the same as the original with minor alterations and characters and little to no creativity from the writer.

Anyway I'm gonna stop the ranting and giving my review.

First of all I was not expecting anything from this fanfic and I only got curious because I don't have anything good new novels to read. I only got interested because it has BTTH in it. Not a fan of BTTH but I read and almost finished reading it until I eventually dropped it so I thought why not and give this fanfic a chance. To my surprise this fanfic is a hidden gem, a diamond in a rough to be exact.

I don't look at the grammar or wide range of vocabulary the author's use but the story itself. That's the most important thing for a novel. Although the grammar quality is average but you deliver your intent to the readers clearly and you completely made BTTH fanfic your own story with a unique storyline. Thanks for the good novel.
