    PMG began with good qualities. Those qualities allowed it to survive a few hundred chapters before I finally gave up. PMG is basically a repetition of the MC placing his own morals above others while not really being a moral person himself. He's the most hypocritical MC I've ever read. At least the stupidly ruthless one's don't lie about their character.

    First example where I just wanted to punch the MC for being hypocritical: He accuses his sect mates of being in the wrong for killing their fellow sect mates in an attempt to promote themselves. Then he basically turns around and kills them and that somehow gets approval. Wooo...

    Second is basically everytime he justifies himself that killing people is fine since they abused their power to kill others. He's basically making use of the Vice Principal to kill whoever he wishes and he hides behind the VP or the Ice girl... sigh... most MC's seem to hide behind a girl when they dig a large hole for themselves...
    I just refresh the front page. >.>
    I've frequently stated in forum that I dislike ATG. People always argue against me so I'll give up on another argument. Basically, ATG may be better written, but the story is still repetitive and has that NTR undertone (UNDERTONE I SAID) that makes me avoid it.

    I have 17 titles in my list soon to be 18 and I've yet to complete one and are up to date on half... If I'd continued to read my first novel CD which is now finished I'd have at least one completed novel under my belt.

    Undertone I said... people read ahead and told me there isn't NTR, but the story isn't even finished so I avoid it.

    Basically, the first is that all of the girls from that Ice Sect is basically NTRable since stealing their virginity is the equivalent of copying ALL of their hard earned cultivation. Could have been a way to give the MC an OP set of ice techniques, but the hole is that it's NTRable to the extreme. Rape a girl from that sect and you get years of cultivation techniques.

    His wife has that body where if you steal her virginity, you get an OP body where you can store a bunch of excess energy and can use OP techniques without trouble. Basically, rape her and you get that world. Could be a way for the MC to gain more OP stuff, but already that's an NTRable scene. Rape her and get stronger, basically.

    The author really has no need for all of this, but he adds them anyways. Adds tension, sure. Add suspense, sure... Adds NTR undertone, yep, that too.

    Yea, there's already rape so my thoughts for the story is down... It hasn't recovered either. Stories like Heavenly Jewel Change and Skyfire Avenue are the only two which managed to recover my feelings for them after rape was introduced.

    that's not ntr though... If the story was writen in a ntr way then it would be there for ntr not him powering up... sex sells and if you get stronger from it why does that make it ntr...

    I think it's not the NTR that you're having any problem with(there isn't really any NTR). You dislike the fact that the male characters are getting power ups through sex.

    NTR is when a guy manages to seduce a girl who originally loved another guy and the other guy most likely liked the girl as well.

    You need to read more Raw chinese novels... my friend told me there was one story where the MC can do any girl and his cultivation gets boosted. As a plus, HER cultivation also gets boosted. It's all just one large story of sex, sex, sex.

    ...I read ATG upto 320 ish, MGA over 1000 chapters, about 100 chapters of ISSTH from 120 to 220ish and a dozen of other novels as well, and you want me to read more raws? I'll die.

    And I'm not getting annoyed with you or anything for not reading ATG you know? I stopped reading it(and PMG and MGA) as well. I just felt that you mistook what NTR means. I edited my previous message to mention what NTR is.

    NTR can also mean steal the MC's girl. I pretty much put everything where the MC loses his girl under NTR. The heroine(s) should be for the MC or at least not stolen.
    Mike777ac? I spoke to him before. His stories are quite... Meh, he was a nice guy. Dunno how his stories came to be...
