I have read this story upto CH 680. So I probably have a good idea about the story. Next, their might be SPOILERS. Lots of them. So you are warned. I will try to be general and vague, but no promise.
I am dividing the review into multiple sections which each section focusing on major points or issues.
CLICHES : Let's just accept that their is no running from clichés. Authors have probably tried all different ways a story can go leaving us with numerous repetitions and iterations of the same thing. Fortunately ,this story has clichés, but author has done his best to not make it a copy-paste of some random CN Novel. And honestly, it's time we stop crying over clichés and just accept it as a major part of Chinese literature. And yes, that was an underhandedly insult.
Cultivation : It isn't exactly unique, but it does have few places where it shines. And we can't expect him to come with some new method of cultivation and magic. Not everyone is Brandon Sanderson. ( And his methods are weird but awesome ). The cultivation techniques are mixed and heavily inspired from many famous novels. I won't name them but all CN Novel veterans will probably realise quickly. During the early part of the novel, that's about until Ch 400(?) his cultivation technique was a major subplot. Even in later chapters it is and will play a part. His technique gives him Monster QI, which automatically makes him the enemy of Human kind.
Techniques : Overly top names with special effects. What else to say?
World : Just like most cultivation world's. Noob Village go Noob town to Noob City to Player 10-25 Village to Player 10-25 town and so on. Basically, the usual. It has its bright spots but mostly the same. Although Monster World and Ascending World's are still an enigma.
MC : He's okay. No Rape Guy. No Cruel MC. Not an MC who loves to destroy sects just for fun. Hardworking. Mostly calm. So no Lin Ming, Chu Yan or anything. It's probably not an harem despite numerous girls having an interest in him. He just wants to find his teacher.
OP Cheats? : Yes. But it's given by his teacher and not something belonging to him. They are basically top level treasures of that world. She stole them...she highhandedly took them and gave it to the MC. His Heaven Root? Belongs to the Phoenix god. His mind power stuff? It's an Buddhist seed. The technique? It's some supreme technique.
Enemies : You have both intelligent as well as run of the mill enemies. Don't expect intelligent MCs at the level of TTNH or any novel by that author.
I should have basically covered everything? Any doubts? Post it below.
Sorry for any mistakes. Some are mine others are mostly my mobile hanging up on me.
