    good fights good story and good pacing but cliche is the name of the game (as for romance
    the death of the romance exist to motivate the mc
    )

    It has every cliche but done well. All in name of good cliche, it has romance if you can call it that but it's just there for the sake of it...

    it does have romance it's not a harem tho it's more like one relationship doesn't work out and he fall in love again. it's one of my favorite novels.

    It is well done, but nothing beyond that.

    When one has a MC from modern Earth reincarnated in another world, while not as exagerated and cliched as japanese MCs, it is sort of expected to have them use foreknowledge of science or any-fucking-thing to take advantage of the rules of the new world or even innovate miscelaneous areas. This novel does not do that.

    I don't remember there being any huge plot twist. ive read a couple of this authors books currently reading lord xue ying which is almost the same quality as desolate era. the fights are pretty good as it not always him as the underdog.

    I enjoyed it, especially the fact that it was a 1v1 romance with no harem. It can get repetitive but there is a deep enough plot that it doesn't really matter. I've read the novel like 3 time

    it's well written. it will be a great novel for you if you don't read much of the genre or IET's other works yet... for me who read his 3 other works before this one, it's another typical IET's work, different plot and setting but still the same.

    Definitely worth the read.. IET laid out the groundwork really well with this one, basically the first 22 or so books are one major arc while the other 23 books is another major arc.. Though I gotta admit that the last 2 books was just him trying to make it longer, I love this novel and the story (it’s my favorite tbh) but that doesn’t mean I’m blind to its faults.
    My advice, definitely deserves a try

    By objective standards its certainly not good. Compared to the rest of the burning landfill known as CNs? Eh, it could do much worse and is probably worth the read.

    Considering how "modern Earth" in DE is just a small sandbox playground with just a few million years of history (compared to tens of billions of "greater worlds"), there is basically zero useful knowledge he can use. All super technologies, quantum theories, nuclear science etc are just thought up by immortals who created the sandbox, and can be easily understood by any cultivator.

    It's cliche to a dagree, fights are average, romance is almost non existent aside from dumping female lead and finding out she died/is in trouble or something trope.

    IET's novels are always pretty good, but also very... typical. Standard. Nothing horribly wrong with that, of course.
