Although for some reason the rating of the novel is lease than what it deserves, don't be fooled. You can hate qidian if you want to, but this novel when compared with similar stories in this genre (eg. Swallowed star) is quite beautiful. This is not a typical weak-to-strong story. There is no harem or ruthless mass murder. The story and scientific elements are comparatively better than contemporaries. The translation and the writing style of the author is of a higher standard than most webnovels, so if you don't find it an easy read, don't blame the novel. All in all a worthy read. It can drag a bit, in some irrelevant chapters discussing wines and luxuries, but it is a welcome deviation from cliched training towers, levels and cultivation tropesTL;DR : Better than swallowed star, a bit of a drag but worthy read
