    Depends on if you enjoy brutally dark novels with an amoral main character. If you do you'll probably enjoy it, but for me it was too much.

    Yes. Yes it is.

    Seriously though if you like villainous main characters give it a read.

    Like everything, whether it is good or not is down to opinion.
    It is kinda like a mixture of wuxia and litrpg, if you like those genres.

    If you're looking for a story where the MC cares for himself only to strive for the peak of the world, read it. I love the novel

    Its not to my liking.
    Its about a typical OP mc with cheats in a xuanhuan world.
    But the loser MC thats overly reliant on his cheats, a.k.a the invisible brain chip, is a turn off.
    That cheat is so omnipotent that it even wins out against jp MC's cheat.

    MC is a bit too emotionless/lacking any form of attachment to anything other than his own life,
    but I love the way the magic system/cultivation is done, and I also enjoy his schemes quite a bit. Makes it one of my favorite translated novels.

    It is alright I guess however it is a but dark and the MC is unfeeling and cares only about himself so if you want heartwarming and righteous it is not for you.

    I can not recommend it enough, it is my favourite story listed on NU.
    It is a great stroy in a wonderful setting. Some people get hung up on small things like the MC's AI Chip but I consider that short sighted. Really beyond that it is a fantasitc fantasy story. It is a dark tale though, at times the MC comes across as a sociopath.

    It becomes unbearable when the author makes it seem like all the characters are yelling at each other. Too many exclamation points. I always imagine the characters just wailing at each other as if there's a gulf in between them.

    VERY LITTLE to no romance anyway, so don't worry about that. If I could rate romance in this novel out of 10, it would be 0.05/10

    TBH it's hardly that brutal too. It's glaring flaw is that stupid, dumbass, stupidass, assinass microchip that pretty much does everything worth a damn.

    The Idea, World and Details are GREAT. The MC, however, is a amoral douchebag with a seesaw personality that ruins most of the story.
