    Ngl, the Novel is great like really good. The only problem is that, the Author made it a joke with the comedy, like here is some example :- The MC beat the sh*t out of a trash female character brutally by using his shadow power secret chamber The brother of that female character which also hates her asks " Did you make my sister lose her virginity? And then it's revealed that the female character is a weirdo who has a thing to be beaten to the pulp ( that's why the brother made assumption) šŸ˜­

      It is mid. After the first arc, it becomes slow and has too many filler chapters. Plus there is a lot of random cringe insertions within the Novel whether it is naming sense of characters or their actions or even author pointlessly self-inserting stuff in there. It is a shame, it started great but went downhill real fast after the first arc.

I completely forgot about this novel, but I remember reading this for like a long time i think I'm on chapter 500 or something and now I don't even have a single clue what the plot is!!! I accidentally saw this while browsing thinking it was familiar! Why the hell this is not on my library! I know it's on my library šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬... *Sigh* I guess I need to reread

      I remember a bit ago ( maybe mid last year ish) the website had an something happen that cause the person maintaining it to revert to a backup making people loose a few months of their info, so if you read this novel around that time you lost your progress

        I'm not sure honestly I made my profile after reading stuff here for a long time. All I know is I saw someone mention that if you want to raise your karma you need to comment more and get interactions so I'm assuming likes and comments count towards it. It's just kind of cool I don't really care enough to take away from my reading time to look into it lol

    All these people leaving comments mentioning the cringe, edge lord, bipolar, and generic writing deserve to be blessed Iā€™ve been reading so many trash novels lately that I appreciate this honesty Not all novels need to be given love and thatā€™s ok. If itā€™s trash, itā€™s trash All I know is I will not be giving this a read I could care less about any possible dislikes I could get from this

      But it's not like that, there are many trashy novels out there and I can say that this isn't one of them. It most parts you won't find problems, balancing and useless sh*t you find all over the place. There is also a bit of romance that won't interfere in the story in the slightest. And this part is totally human and alike anyone of us would do, not like the average novel with th 100 years old virgin MC

    I remember reading this cringe novel way long before the "great purge" of this site, I wonder if it's gotten any better?

    • Sheaa 15

      I've read up to 960chapters and the author hasn't stopped making his out of place, cringe references (even if its freaking inner dialogue, it really breaks the immersion) though sadly I did like it when it was serious

    It was one of the first novels I read and I was impressed, but around chapter 500-700 it became very repetitive, so I stopped around chapter 743, Because the immortality trait of other heroes is very disturbing, so has it changed now?

        I'm still reading but at a slow pace. I've reached chapter 876 and the events so far are almost the same. I hope it gets better.

    Chapter 746, my theory of how the author is planning to develop Kahn spoilers!!!!! Iā€™m going to call this now, but I have a running theory that the author is gonna make Kahn a god of creation. Here is my reasoning: 1. His divine abilities: it caters to taking in energy and transforming it (divine absorb and synthesis) then he can use his understanding of dimensions (dimensional law which has space, he has gravity, prob gonna learn time in the time empire, etc) 2. How the vampire reacted to his choice of abilities: prob some kind of condition to unify their ability into one idea (blacksmithing, war, sky, darkness) like the gods we have already seen 3. His side profession of black smithing and now alchemy (like really? His black smithing enlightenment was literally its part of creation and imagine there will be similar for alchemy) Anyway thatā€™s just a theory, a novel theory

    The story felt like one of those pick me girls saying ā€œIā€™m not like other girlsā€ but does the exact same things. The Mc starts off with this whole I wonā€™t trust anyone thing, which he kind of sticks to but then just derails randomly and starts killing people for no reason. Ik they were not good people but why? Then cries and becomes all vengeful for a COMPLETE STRANGER he didnā€™t know at all. Donā€™t get me started on the CW show references and the whole copy paste abilities. The story feels planned but very minimally and the plot keeps shifting and developing in the wrong directions. Fe he wanted to die so badly in the beginning, then once he is forced to be reincarnated and finally makes it to the town heā€™s like ā€œIā€™m not gonna let this second chance go to waste!ā€ Like where did that mentality come from? I thought u were depressed and wanted to stay dead? Overall just dumb and I canā€™t even turn my brain off like cultivation novels bc at least that sh*t has constant quality face slapping.

      Because he can, you have this logic because of planet earth and mostly religion stuff. But if you go into another universe, where god interact with the world and won't care about killing and stuff, the world would be totally different from ours. Especially if there is superpowers and magic involved. Do you think earth would be a paradise if tomorrow, everyone wakes up with powers big enough to destroy cities? I will tell you what happens, in a month there would be no planet earth anymore

        If youā€™re gonna lecture someone about how a power system influences social standing and interactions please do it right. First of all even if everything you said is true ur point itself makes no sense. Wym ā€œhe canā€ THE WHOLE ARGUMENT WAS ABOUT THE WHY NOT THE HOW. Nobody just gets up and becomes Batman because they feel like it. Sure you could chalk it up to ā€œthe snake influenced his mind a littleā€ but not to the point of becoming a new entity. Also moving back to your beautiful response, I didnā€™t really care about him being ruthless and killing people. I cared about how he did it, no hesitation or remorse just cold and apathetic without any character growth or mind numbing pains or any explanation on how his demeanor became like that (snake excuse coming up lol). To answer the final question, humans main survival trait is our adaptability in all circumstances no matter if itā€™s hard or complicated we will survive. So with that in mind delve deep and thinkabouttheprocessofchange. Noroom

        You are spouting nonsense. First of all he doesn't have to care because he is the Herald of god of darkness. Second everything he assimilated influenced him with the traits, even if he suppressed them later on he still got a totally different persona. Third the more you delve into the story and the more he kills without caring, as any veteran warrior would do, in a world you could kill thousands with a wave of your hand. Your point is influenced by your irl persona, and you are not trying to view this in his place

        Youā€™re acting like he wasnā€™t a human from earth in the beginning. Your argument doesnā€™t make sense and I get that itā€™s a different world and they have different styles of living but HE ISNT FROM THAT WORLD. And also delving into the whole consuming things makes my mind more numb thing is a lame excuse that still didnā€™t matter in that situation because he had barley killed anything in the first few chapters. Listen Iā€™m not trying to argue with someone who has separate ā€œpersonasā€ online. Go have fun reading your 8th grade complex stories

        I'm not arguing with you, I just argumented the facts here. Also you went so defensive just because of an harmless exchange in the comment section for no reason. Attacking me with the "8th grade syndrome" that you could apply, at any novel here if you think of it in that way. Any novels with a combat MC have the same settings but the Japanese ones that reject killing. I suggest you to absolutely avoid reverend Insanity then, to not get burned too much
