I read it and it was amazing. I loved the art and I like how the main character is strong and won't take crap. I kept reading it to find out what happened next and I just indulged myself into this amazing story.

I actually really enjoyed this manga. By far this is probably one of the best mangas I have read. I really hope that they will make a God of Martial Arts anime.

This is like a wine which gets better with time.

MC gets reincarnated into the body of a weak cultivator who was constantly bullied. The place he was reincarnated into values Power above everything. So to earn respect and protect himself, he decides to embark on a journey to get strong, the path to God of Martial Arts.

Although the chapters are small, the number greatly makes up for it. We can never be bored as more and more interesting story is added to the plot.

The main female lead; Meng Qing is absolutely adorable as well. Sensible, loyal, loving, gorgeous and monstrously strong. The other characters are nicely written as well. The other girls in MC's harem except for the princess seems bland, but the two more than makes up for them. Also, the romance or harem aspect is given very little screen time and this works really well for the whole plot.

The art is sub standard for the first couple of episodes. It gets better from then and maintains a decent level.

The one thing I liked the most about this series is that though the MC is semi OP, he doesn't win every fights. Many fights leave him wounded or nearly dead. But his determination to continue to get stronger and face more challenges is inspiring.

Chapters read : 535

[Revied at Chapter 611]

GOMA is a bit of a mixed bag for me. The first half was really really good - brutal gripping scenes and some great dialogues (for a manhua), but unfortunately, the quality of this manhua takes a *big* dive after about halfway thru, when the style changes from the comic-panel style pages to long strip style.

- This is technically an Isekai, but it plays literally no part in the entire story. MC might've as well been a native of this world. He could've used his earthly knowledge of science and physics to come up with some OP martial arts or something, or even maybe mundane stuff like sharing earthly food recipes or something, but no. Such a wasted potential here.

- The artwork takes a BIG hit, character faces all become round-ish and weird. I do not like this style.

- Lots of loopholes and forgotten pieces. For instance, MC gets this super rare amazing hyped-up thing that everyone was dying to get their hands on to the point that even caused a mini war, but then this super amazing thing is promptly forgotten for like hundreds of chapters, and only gets a passing mention towards the end (they don't even draw it on the pages lol) - so why did they make so much fuss about it, when it didn't really change MC's life by much? I was expecting it to make the MC super OP or something, but no, it didn't. It may as well as not have existed, so this was a big disappointment.

- Then there was MC's first/main girl Fei Fei, MC even promised her father that he'd take care of her (implying marriage), but she then gets relegated to a background character status and eventually gets completely forgotten - no screen appearance, not even a passing mention for hundreds of chapter, no explanation on where she went, or whether she's even dead or alive.

- A mysterious second girl, who is super OP, is suddenly introduced literally pops out of nowhere), and in spite of being MC's main girl now and getting lots of screen time, they never explain her origins or background - who was her master, how did she become so powerful etc, we know absolutely nothing about her. Even every other passing girl has more of a background story than MC's current main girl.

- There seem to be no fan translations from the latter half of the story, which means you'll have to settle for the official Mangatoon translations which are horrid. They change all the names from pinyin to random western names like Ivy/Tyalor/Tim and never mind that it's jarring, you suddenly have no idea who the hell they're talking about. Towards the last ~150ish chapters though, we get back our fan translations, but sadly, these aren't that much better either - whilst they thankfully ditch the dumb name substitutions, instead we get literal machine-translated names, eg this one chick is called "Moon Dream Lotus" and this other guy is called "Moon Sky" lol.

So yeah, now you know why it's a mixed bag. In spite of that though, I still think this is one of the better martial arts manhua - MC doesn't hesitate to kill, MC is an adult and not some 12 year old kid (looking at you, Soul Land, bleh) and in spite of the usual repetitive cliches, it's an entertaining, binge-worthy read.

I was still fairly new to cultivation stories when I first read this. It's a decent story with the mc going from weak to strong.

I dropped it because it all got very "samey". Story just kept going in circles with him getting stronger, people underestimating him till he beats them to death, moving somewhere else, getting underestimated, him beating them to death etc etc. I just got bored of it all.
