The Sage Who Transcended Samsara - Reviews

looks promising hmm

An amazing story from start to finish. Yes there is a translation issue especially halfway through but the overall plot is worth it.

You will find it easier to understand if you have read stories related to chinese mythology

Story is of a similar concept to - my senior brother is too stable, another novel suferring from translation issues

OH YEAH, FINALLY A NOVEL I KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT TO MAKE A PROPER REVIEW ABOUT!

Sorry, got a little excited. So yeah, I can state the nice stuff about this story.
I am describing ch.1 which you can find on the NU link, so I don't think this needs a spoiler.

This novel starts with the MC transmigrating without a gaining the body's memories, ending up a monk in Shaolin Temple and using his wits to not get exposed and exorcised. His body has a backstory he knows nothing of, and returning back to his family will get him exposed. The story starts in such a 'interesting' situation where MC has to use his IQ from the start, and I promise it just gets better.

Initially the world seems to be in a wuxia setting, though it is slowly revealed to be more. But I'll reveal one more thing: The 'Samsara' is introduced quite early!
...OK, now I really can't say more without spoilers.

As for the TL, I'll expect good things. Even though not one chapter is up, I'll give props to the translator for rewriting Title and Synopsis to appeal to English readers. The original synopsis on NU seems a bit vague on first sight.
Can't say anything further, as this novel has no TLed chapters here.

So there it is, this is a nice novel and I hope you'll give Energy Stones to it.

...Also, one last interesting thing. Do you like the author, 'Plagiarist', the writer of Carefree Path of Dreams and sequel to Warlock of the Magus World? The novel preceding Carefree Path of Dreams, Overgod Ascension was inspired/ plagiarized from this novel. Overgod Ascension is also known as a loose sequel to Warlock of the Magus World.

CHECK THIS OUT BEFORE READING!!

Translation quality for the first 778 chapters is a 3 out of 5.  It's good enough but can be hard to understand at points.  After 778, 0 out of 5, awful.  It's incredible to me that a large company like QI would publish a translation that is essentially a slightly  cleaned up machine translation.  Names of moves, places, and people suddenly change.  That combined with the overall awful translation makes one wonder if they are even reading the same novel.

STAY AWAY unless and until the translation is fixed; otherwise, it's not worth it even when considering the quality of the story.

Quite so. You will have two challenges though. First is to get into it initially because there will be no real introduction to the world, cultivation system or special lingo. Second is translation issues which appear halfway through. Good luck!

Senior brother please enlighten this junior, have this novel completed or not? if yes where can i read the complete version? if no is there any news or have the author drop it? Thank you beforehand

Why do all protagonists have an obsession with deafeating Buddah? I mean I get demons since demons are meant to be the bad guys but on a more serious note this looks like an interesting novel.

Machine translation from chapter 777. A good novel, but it's impossible to read further. :(

___________________________________________________________

Dont bother reading it, a really good novel ruined by TL. TL terms keep going back and forth early on but then stabilise around 400 chapters in but for some reason TL changes at chapter 777 and since then everything is utter trash.

The glossary terms are changed to more retarded equivalent and you struggle to even know whats going on. Had to drop at chapter 777 as its just not worth the brain damage you get from trying to read this god awful TL

This read is like smoking cigarettes. They feel good, but definitely bad for your health. Why is it bad for your health? The way the translation is butchering my brain cells is...... i cant even.....

PLEASE GET A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKING EDITOR!! (Sorry would-be-editor, you’ll be puking blood much more than us readers)

Or please change the goddamn translator.

Terrible translation quality, the story itself is interesting, but not worth suffering through the translation. If the translation team gets better, or replaced with someone better, I world recommend it.

From the same author of 'Lord of the Mysteries', 'Throne of Magical Arcana', 'Ember Ad Infinitum' and 'Martial Arts Master'. I've finished all of his novels, only this one left. I'm really not into cultivation genre, but let me try it. I believe in this author, so yeah, lez begin.
