Hua Tiandu failed in the struggle for the path to the Emperor and was reborn at the very beginning of his cultivation. Determined to avoid another failure in this life, he decided to strike first and suppress his rivals before they could rise.
First, his fiancée, Ye Qing'er, was a peerless sword immortal who stood unrivaled in the way of the sword. He would have her come to break off the engagement, destroy her foundation, and shatter her Dao heart.
Second, Han Li, his junior sister from the outer sect, would master every technique and eventually become a Heavenly Venerable. He would keep snatching all the spirit pills, treasures, and other magical artifacts she found, treating her like a treasure-hunting mouse.
Third, under the pretext of eliminating demons and defending the Dao, he would dig the True Dragon Bone out of Mu Yunlan, the Demon Sect's saintess, and graft it onto himself.
Fourth, his injured master, Pei Qingyi, would retreat to the back mountain to heal. He would interrupt her meditation every day, then volunteer her to represent their sect in the cultivation world's deadliest tournament.
Years later...
Peerless Sword Immortal Ye Qing'er: You must break before you can rebuild. Only by breaking through can you forge a strong heart.
Han the Heavenly Venerable, master of all techniques: Spirit pills and magical treasures are merely external things. True strength comes from within.
Supreme Demon Venerable Mu Yunlan: The human path is invincible by nature. Why borrow the bones of another race?
Ruthless Emperor Pei Qingyi: Follow the natural order and you're mortal; defy it and you become immortal! Coming as close to death as possible is the true essence of cultivation!
Watching all the women come looking for him again, intent on repaying his kindness, Hua Tiandu felt utterly bewildered...

You can tell what kind of book it is just by looking at the synopsis. But it has many female leads.
Everything else is fine, but the protagonist's power is too overwhelming. Shouldn't a reborn protagonist have countless hidden cards? You'd never guess what he's up to, what his abilities are. If you don't mess with him, fine, but if you do, everyone connected to him will be annihilated, reduced to ashes. Also, the power levels are vague, and the combat system isn't well-established.
Your novel is quite good, especially the beginning. But why does it get worse as it goes on? Some people say the protagonist is too overpowered, then suddenly he's in a distant realm. Others say the slapstick and face-slapping stunts aren't enough, so you force them, but the result is the opposite. Your book's performance is still poor!
I have no desire to continue watching; I can't see the point of the protagonist's rebirth.
Judging from the synopsis, the female leads were all treated terribly. Although the ending is happy, with them all achieving great cultivation, why do they still have to repay the male lead's kindness? Shouldn't they have said something like, "Thank you, but I will kill you"? That would have been much more compelling.
Protagonist: In my past life, I was at a certain level. You bunch of noobs... (The protagonist is about to be humiliated.) Honestly, I can't understand it.
The plot was alright, but I really want to complain about the height and weight of the male and female leads. A woman who is 170cm tall needs to be at least 60cm to have a bust and a butt, and to have a curvy figure, she needs to be around 65cm. But both of the female leads are under 50cm, they're practically steel plates! The male lead is even worse. A 182cm tall man is considered thin at 70, and at 60 he's practically skin and bones. It's so embarrassing to watch! 😅
Personally, I felt there weren't many enjoyable moments; it was extremely frustrating. Perhaps in this fast-paced internet age, my noisy and chaotic mind has already lost the patience to read this kind of work.
Why do I feel like the male lead's values are a bit off? He's weird. But then again, it seems like interpreting it as "one man's success is built on the bones of countless others" isn't entirely wrong? Watching the male lead grow up gives me the feeling of watching a villain rise to power. 🧐
The protagonist's rebirth feels like he wasn't reborn at all.
