    I wrote it somewhere else, but I will try to write it again.

    Mc => mc is a "trash" or someone who got his "talent" misunderstanding.
    mc parents and friends are useless and need the mc to save them, give them money/resources, go around fighting everyone who wants to kill them... and are his weakness too... did I mention that he was abandoned or didnt know his parents at all at the beginning?
    mc starts at some "powerful" family that divide power with another 3 same lv family, two of which will joing together to bully mc's family.
    However, his city is the weakest in the region, his region is the weakest in the country, his country is the weakest in the continent, his continent is the weakest in the world, his world is the weakest in the galaxy or considered a lower lv plane... and there you go, it keeps going on in loops till the novels end... if there is one.
    Every hopeless situation turns out that is a great chance... this happen a lot.
    Every woman seems to fall for the mc or needs the mc to rescue them of a villain... and they will fall for the mc after.
    Every woman of the mc (if harem) needs the mc to fight a unscrupulous love rival...
    mc aways can fight one or two realms above... being that the difference between each realm is like the distance between heavens and earth.

    this is all I remember for now.

    Where MC originates from is some village in a small county.
    Said county is one of the worst of some kingdom.
    Said kingdom is part of the wasteland of some empire.
    Said empire is one of the 10s of empires in the continent.
    Said continent is the smallest and weakest of the planet.
    Said planet is in one of the many many lower planes.
    Whatever top expert in said plane can be considered an ant in the middle planes.
    Whatever top expert in said planes can be considered an ant in the higher plane (divine realm)
    There are stronger beings ruling said divine realm.
    etc.

    Anyone know how long "half a day" is ment to be? They use it for quick actions so I'm guessing 1-10 mins but sometimes not so sure.

    If you notice that there is very little world building and explanation for cultivation stages/realms be prepared for author doing what he likes/conveniant with.
