Everyone's intelligence is on point, except for the protagonist. They understand life's big principles quite well, but they crumble when it comes to intrigue. Having a master from the Free and Unfettered Realm means he can be threatened with any amount of power, which is a bit frustrating. However, overall it's still very enjoyable. I wonder if the protagonist will become a bit more cunning later on.
This is so good! Even though the temple keeper is gone, this book is still excellent. Keep it up!
I only want Hong Yuan as the female lead, not a harem story. It's well-written, so the reviews shouldn't be this low.
The main character is likable, and the character design is excellent. I can already imagine the scenes of him wreaking havoc later on. It's clear the author focuses on storytelling rather than simply depicting cultivation levels or killing. The story is great, and I hope you continue to improve. Keep it up!! 😎😎😎😎
Wow, the content is excellent! The opening is so clear and concise, even better than the previous story about the Imperial Temple. I hope you can update quickly and keep it up! 🍻
Good book, I really like some of the viewpoints expressed by the main character. I don't like Jin Mengmeng's part.
It's written so, so, so, so beautifully! ^ω^
The new theme, content, plot, and character design are still very good. As the author continued writing, I felt that it wasn't to my taste anymore.
I'm writing this in the group to follow you.
It was indeed a good read, it's a shame the author stopped writing. It seemed to have great potential, and I hope the author will pick it up again later.
