    I saw the reviews but I felt 200 chapters is a little too early to judge, also it's written by a famous author so I want to know if it's worth reading, I mean, does the MC find his 'gate of good fortune'? I don't care if he gets f**ked in the novel initially but at some point I would want him to return all the f**king.

    I'm up to date in the story and it's not a bad story. The reviews are exaggerated.

    I've been told it should be renamed as "The Gate of Misfortune"

    No its a good book, unfortunately people don't read that far into it and drop it at the middle and miss out on all the good parts.

    It's not as bad as the reviews, it's comparable to other CNs out there, better than PMG/MGA at the very least.

    People nitpick on the novel though because of the fact that MC gets pulled into a lot of unfortunate situations (that he usually always works his way out of anyways).

    also if your going to read it, read all the way through to at least ch 200 or it will be bad.Also try not to skip any chapters cause many things could happen in that on chapter.

    In the beginning of ISSTH the MC is suspected as having a treasure by one of the elders of his sect. His blood is tested and all of his belongings are searched. After the elder lets him go his friend walks out of hiding with his real bag and he gets found out and chased. Because of that he enters the inner disciple contest and wins. Him becoming an inner disciple leads to him getting his hands on one of the pieces of the divine cultivation technique. That's the kind of misfortune the MC of Gate of Good Fortune has.

    The start got me interested~ the bit before the mc dies. After that I couldn't enjoy it. I dropped the novel fairly early

    +ve? It's not a sob story. It's just a bit chaotic. How I imagine really living in a cultivation world would be. You don't always get to neatly tie up all loose ends before heading to the next area. Sometimes sh*t suddenly hits the fan and you have to run for your life. I don't know what people are talking about when they mention NTR. It seems like they consider any side character one of the MC's girls. Even the girl at the beginning of the story wasn't really interested in the other guy and was just trying to smack the MC's face.

    Ok you clearly can't read properly. I was comparing their luck to show what sort of situations are in GoGF. I never said Meng Hao was a pussy. The first girlfriend broke up with the MC. He didn't get NTR'd because she told the other guy to get lost almost immediately afterwards. In addition to that Meng Hao is chased all over the place so I don't know what you're talking about. He's been chased for days at a time.

    If you have to read over 200 chapters to enjoy it? Yes is that bad.

    The author could have thown the MC a bone way earlier and the title does sound very ironic.

    I enjoyed it from the beginning.

    Throwing the MC a bone? Like him finding a half dead Essence Cultivation to kill and loot? Or being in the perfect position to kill the traitorous guy and collect all the loot from the flood dragon? Or any of the other incredibly lucky events that MCs tend to enjoy?

    Even a very slow start novel need only 20 chapters at most to get it going. 200 chaps and you dont know if it's bad? Yeah, it's totally irredeemably bad.
    Acknowledge your agenda but oh well.
