A really gem of a cultivation manhua. The story is very unique and different from your regular courting death stuff. And there is also a point where mc sister makes fun of manhuas with courting death themes. Mc whole clan is full of good people and mc has a cheat system and he knows about the events that are gonna happen in the future coz he transmigrated inside a vrmmo game he used to play. There are few comedic moments which are also quiet nice. Art is good so is the translation. Plus the world building is also massive.

I love it. It is fun, interesting and a new approach to the system, leveling, wuxia world, cultivation story.

I would recommend you to try 

The MC is hilarious and this is the first one I have seen that's behaving like him especially what is he saying since he was a child considering what happened to him and where he lives now, even though no one understands anything he says.

His sister is even funnier, but a bit too obsessed .

NOTE: SADLY THE HIGHEST SCORE IS 10.

I mean what's there not to like, 

CHARACTERS; you fall in love with them and appreciate them. Also making you laugh out loud is something they often do.

STORY; let's begin by saying the peacing is just perfect and well developed. The plot is not original in a innovative way, but it is one of the most original, let me explain, it's a guy who gets reborn into a game in the past. He has no cheat until it's close to the players beta. The cheat is not to op but also not weak. The progress is unique and immersive

MC; The mc is obsessed with bluffing and looking cool like the xianxia novels. And mastered the art of looking cool (literally). He is not a idiot but also not calculative, he mostly relies on his experience reading novels to understand situaciones and look for ways out (he is from the future modern world so he know every place, person or item and uses the knowledge to look cool). The cultivation world is unique and cultivators don't work fore immortality and are mostly not arrogant like normal xianxia with cliched lines like seeking death, or I'm alone under the heavens... you know what I mean. But our mc masters these cliched lines and becomes the master of looking cool.

WORKD BUILD; one of the most amazing and immersive cultivation worlds. With lots of lore and amazing development and explanations. As I said before it's not the normal xianxia world.  

ART; it's not the best in the world but it's pretty above average  and they draw special effects really good like sword aura and so on.

TRANSLATION; really good. You won't miss any dialogue for lack of quality.

overall it's a unique masterpiece with good characters story and world.

We rarely get manhua with decent art and when we do they are usually good. This one has the same art style as Top Tier Providence and History's Strongest Senior Brother. Both of these manhua are among the best out there.

The only thing similar to these in this manhua is the MC. And even then he isn't really that amazing frankly. He's just above average. I think it's because he's so much better than 99% of MC's manhua out there that he's seen as perfect. The plot is meh, all the characters are boring. the villains are just a joke who either make funny faces or angry faces. they are not calm and calculative as you would expect from high level villains. Your protagonists are only as cool as your villains. An MC only shines when the villains are smart and cunning not some idiot that he can easily beat up with his cheat system.

There aren't many stories with a system that works and this one is not among them. I don't like it. I wish it had a more serious tone, a proper worldbuilding, no system and no game world. Mixing IRL people with a game world is such a bad idea. Only The legendary Mechanic novel did it well.

Also, I have absolutely no idea of how the powere level system in that world works. MC is strong for no real reason? Why can he beat people over 2-3 levels? Also the mix with the system level is confusing. Sometimes he is First layer third rank and other level 12. He isntantly learns techniques but still need to cultivate but also can just level up with exp points. Pick a side author. Also also his sect is supposedly at the bottom 300 of sects under one big sect that is a part of a 4 parts world each led by a big sect and hundreds smaller under them. Like I know the story has to revolve around MC but does he have to meet all the main characters from every part of the world in his tiny village area? His sect is not even that well known or even strong. I don't mind him being cocky but looking at all of this it feels undeserved. 

At least it's a good read as past time. There ain't that many good manhua out there anyway so better settle with that.

Very rarely do i have such high praise for a cultivation manhua, that the genre often tends to be poorly tanslated and poorly done, However this is certainly a breath of fresh air. THIS IS WORTH THE READ. it is different enough from the common cultivation troupe and i believe it is certainly a diamond in the rough, any fan of isekai, system mahua and of course cultivation manhua will fall in love with this series. 10/10
