    Lately a lot of people have been recommending ISSTH (I Shall Seal The Heavens) to me so i decided to give it a try but i read the description and the first thing I thought was that MC was going to be some selfish, arrogant asshole.
    I tried reading the reviews but they were so long and boring . So i want to ask those of you who have read it to describe MC's attitude and behavior to me.
    I also vote that someone write an alternate description because the current is only 3 lines but after reading i got a bit pissed off by the MC.

    Well Meng Hao is Meng Hao.
    In the begining he's a bit of an scholar , but he isn't somone who hesitates when is time to act (kill ,steal or benefit) , he's determined and doesn't mess with the weak nor is he an arrogant prick.
    And he LOVES to con people ,it's a part of him.

    Yeah Meng Hao is definitely not an arrogant a-hole. He's not the most morally upright individual after some time in the cultivator world, but he doesn't become a young master either.

    He walks the grey line quite well. Hes not too dark, not too light, hes arrogant in some ways, amusing in many others. Determined and intelligent, loyal and decisive.

    Lol I don't feel like it is but then again something like this at this point in the game from someone who reads novels here on NU has to be bait, if it isn't I apologize but honestly I got a gut feeling it is......

    Meng Hao is the embodiment of capitalism in a nutshell.

    Just read it and decide for yourself. It might be a long while before we hear back from you once you start reading it though :D

    The best phrase to describe Men Hao is: smiling with a shy look XD

    Meng Hao is a terrible MC. The first woman he sees, he chases until the end of time. Total bastard. When the best girl shows up, he just charms her and then runs off like an asshole.

    Chu Yuyan shippers unite! Strike down the heathen Xu Qing shippers at all costs!

    Basically Meng Hao starts off as a penniless scholar who failed his imperial exams 2-3 times in a row... he also owes some silver to someone. His dream is to get rich and see the Tower of Tang and Chang'an. He's not arrogant in that way, but he's not the subservient type either and when others try to slap his face he doesn't take it or turn the other cheek as well...
    At the beginning he believes in Confucianism and is conflicted when he has to kill other people in order to survive, but gradually gets used to it...
    Overall, the people who helped him, as much as he can, he helps them back, those who take action against him will suffer. He also cons some guys, though they kinda had it coming. As for being arrogant, he actually fully has the qualifications to be with his skills and even just with his cultivation level, even though he isn't. Later, around chapter 700 and after, things get a bit more bloody and his personality darkens a bit, but I think it'll go back to normal soon.

    How come you thought MC to be an arrogant a**hole from the synopsis of the novel? You are definitely the first one.
