    As the title says are they worth it:

    Perfect World got to ch362: The reason I dropped it is that of the overpraising of Shi Hao the stupidity of the enemies and the Shi Hao who is an ass ( I do not mean the possible destruction of the wastelands).

    Dragoon ch 120-ish: Aleist annoyed me to the extreme specifically the fucking harem

    A Will Eternal ch72: It just bored me to death and honestly can't remember that much

    My disciple died yet again: The student-master relationship. To me, this is a huge NO.

    If you are bored then why not? It's your choice in the end. If I remember correctly (probably not) around the 360s in Perfect World was the arc with his grandfather and original family. My Discipline is funny but not for everyone it kinda over praises the mc. Not sure of the others.

    Then try other novels, it's still the same basic format afterwards. It's not bad when bored but the same basic format after a while like most xianxia.

    A Will Eternal has a slow start compared to most web novels, however based on Er Gens previous works, if your willing to bear through the first 150ch the novel should pick up some speed. The early chapters are slow because of the world and character building, which results in a better story overhaul. I highly recommend A Will Eternal.

    Well it's your choice to read or not... What are you pissed about with Xian Ni, perhaps the translation speed?

    No, I waited the gap when the new translator translated the old. It is Wang Lin going from good to bad which I tolerated than to neutral which I liked to where now he does not give shit about straight out attacking people who have done him no wrong

    Very reasonable, I personally like it as Wang Lin was always a more demonic cultivator. Well, I can't say much more really... I still recommend A Will Eternal.

    I was about to post about that actually... I wanted to say his Dao was more of his own and very rebellious, similar to the demonic path in that Wang Lin puts himself first. I think that Wang Lin is portrayed very well and the changes in his personality were very much chosen to show the cruelty of the cultivation world and what it makes people become. He became bad to survive and later when he was finding his mortal self he gained back certain morality that made him more neutral. I think the current Wang Lin is close to his final transformation as he now has his own Dao and understands his path. Well... this turned out to be a long post. Edit: Fixed grammar

    Think like this, how much time do you have in your hands? Is it enough for you to read all novels of the genres you like in NU.

    If the answer is no, then don't read the boring ones, go for the ones you consider good.
