Currently at chapter 174, let's start the review.The story is set in a modern age where an apocalypse has occurred. Immortal individuals are born, but contrary to our initial expectations, the world doesn't transform with Qi pouring into the modern setting. Instead, it creates a parallel dimension where death leads to a return to the real world, akin to VR in the cultivation world with secret realms and more.As is typical, we are introduced to the protagonist who lacks grade or spiritual roots. Surprisingly, he has been transmigrated for around three years. The story follows the usual trope as he befriends a mysterious lady from a top-tier clan.The face-slapping moments start around chapter 30-40 when the MC begins to kill individuals from the Thousand Pavilion in the cultivation world (distinct from the real world). Youngsters come first, followed by elders, until the entire pavilion sets its sights on him.I cannot comment on the translation as English is not my first language. The world-building is decent, though it lacks a clear general direction and overall situation. The focus primarily revolves around the MC's journey, including city names, events, and locations. However, I'm unsure about the number of factions, nations, or realms in the story.Now, let's discuss the MC's personality. He lacks motivation and feels as though he should be a mortal since he holds no grudges. He desires peaceful cultivation but recognizes the need to become stronger. Additionally, he isn't particularly interested in romantic relationships.Here's where the problem arises with the system. It possesses enough power to help the MC break through from being mortal to establishing the foundation (2nd realm) in less than three months, or so I believe. However, as the story progresses (after he flees from the elder chasing him), although he remains overpowered and can defeat his peers due to his earlier conflicts with the pavilion individuals, he is constantly pursued by stronger cultivators, which diminishes his significance despite having a system.Furthermore, his rapid progress eventually slows down. By the time I reached chapter 174, the MC had only recently advanced to the middle stage of the foundation realm (4th layer of the 2nd realm). This progression is notably slower compared to his breakthrough from mortal to foundation establishment realm, which took 100 chapters. The remainder of the story focuses on his fascination with alchemy (with an abrupt shift to array formation) and his enthusiasm for acquiring various techniques.I almost forgot to mention the common trope where the MC sells weapons and encounters a girl who can sell his weapons. This girl later finds herself in trouble with other sellers, and the MC steps in to help. Consequently, he becomes an esteemed guest in the girl's clan, which hails from the core/central plain. However, this clan lacks sufficient power when compared to the first heroine.That concludes my review. I may have misunderstood certain parts as I skipped through sections due to losing interest when the MC's progress significantly slowed down.
