Subpar book of edgy cliches trying to pass itself off as original. He’s suppose to be 30-40 years old and yet he acts like a slightly mature child. He’s suppose to be cynical and selfish and but that’s really just to establish a baseline to give his character “growth”.

Phew, this was a long one took a while to catch up to what is already released. As of writing this, there are 503 chapters.
I have to say the first book is the worst one of them all. The main character starts on earth and it is about how the main became the way it is. I almost dropped it in the first few chapters because the sob story was very meh and only partially believable. But I decided to soldier on and wait for the main character to get to the magic world and I am glad I did. After the rocky start, it picks up a bit with the main character discovering that there is magic in the world.

I think the main character is the weakest part of the story "broken" and "cynical" is just an excuse to make the main character angry at everyone and everything and it gets old pretty quickly.

Entertaining and interesting. If you like stories about being reincarnated into a magic world with previous memories intact, this is a great book. Well written MC.

A reincarnated in another world story, but this one contrasts Eastern Cultivation techniques with a Fantasy setting alongside a magic system! It's a fun and engaging twist on the genre. The main character though... HOLY crap, this guy is a piece of work. Bitter in the extreme, and extraordinarily unlikable. I'd give it a 4/5 if the main character were more well rounded and didn't hate everything with such vehemence.

This series Starts off slow, but it picks up nicely.

This is a fun story with plenty of flaws:

The characters are not very distinct. All of them speak exactly the same, have the same mannerisms and use the same phrases. If you got chapters of material that describes the main characters, but the chapters hid their name, then you would not be able to figure out who is who.

There are a lot of great comedy elements, a few forced jokes too, but I found myself laughing a lot.

The story in the first two volumes is decent.
If you are into fantasy and don't mind a MC bordering on the line of antihero and sociopath, then you can just google this and read the first 75 chapter for free.

Dropped at the fifth book; i think that this story is... good, i liked the MC at the start for his "bad" character but at some point i finished to quite hate him. The secondary character are described quite well, even though it coukd have been better; the problem is that the author tried to add a lots of parts and action that are useless for the story, with the only purpose (for me) to not finish it fast. So for the ones that have a lot of free time you could actually quite like this story

[Karla Schneider · Rating 4 out of 5]

So what I've developed over the years was a system where I edit out all the useless Asian phrases in Word before I turn it in to Epub and that actually cuts down on almost 40% of all the text and I'm left with just the story, and it's quite good. Lith is born, he's in a loving family, he soundly develops his magic, goes to magic school and you know the shibang. But other than the condescending monologs, the actions were very rational. That's a +2 in my books.

Really glad this came in on a recommendation I trust, or I wouldn't have gone past the first few chapters. However. Once past them, the writing improved by leaps and bounds - by the end of book one, it's solid - and the characters become actual characters. By half way through, it became seriously enjoyable, and if I damn the opener, well, I'd have lost out by not reading it through.

An excellent read once it gets going, and worth the opener.

It was hard for me to get interested, in the beginning, but my son pushed me through. Now Im past chapter 1000. I'll definitely finish this one.

[Daniel Sterlin]

This story could have been a masterpiece. Unfortunately it deeply fell off in the later chapters. The first few volumes are fantastic though.

[DD1 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really strong start of a series that sadly loses quite a bit in the next volumes. Started reading it because of it's similarity to another book series of the same genre, The Beginning After the End, and I found it even more enjoyable. Now it is at a point where chapters are quite repetitive and the character has reached a stagnant point where breakthroughs come out of nowhere.
