Its a good novel if your starting out, but it's a land slide from chapter 600+.

You can skip the chapters when he goes into dream worlds since you won’t miss anything. Just go the last chapter so see the powerups he got from there. Makes 100x more enjoyable and saves u time too. That’s what I did atleast.

I read 905 chapters, and I’m giving up, it’s really difficult to continue reading further, it’s too boring and monotonous.
The first 500 chapters were interesting, but the further the worse, nothing new happens at all.
The main cons that, in my opinion, killed the book:

1) The author is tired of his racism, an example has already been given below, but I still hide, China is praised everywhere, like yes, the author is Chinese and all things, I myself love Chinese culture, but there is a limit to everything, the author is perengul. I will add personally that I did not like the constant superiority of mankind, it's boring when all the worlds go to the same end, it all comes down to the fact that the human race should be the best.

2) Poorly developed characters of the second plan, they don’t exist at all, the feeling from the book that there is only MC and that’s it, there are no other characters, it’s not even worth talking about romance, even the appearance of female characters is not described there normally.

3) The concept of the master of dreams, as well as the battle, initially it was something new and interesting, unlike the MCs already familiar to us, who beat everyone with brute force, etc. I expected to see more interesting soul powers, illusions, dreams, curses, divination, and all that, but we don't get any of that at all, the dream master seems to be there, but it's not really, it's just again it all comes down to, that he punches and the enemy dies, or uses his array of swords, that's all.... Whether it's the dao of dreams or battle, it's so pathetic and not interesting.

4) This monotony, the whole plot is simple, he enters a foreign world, uses their cultivation system, becomes stronger, conquers the world, and leaves with awards, everywhere there will be number one human race, everywhere everything is the same, except for the strength that he will use.

5) the development of the main character is very weak, there is not much difference between the beginning where he is just a farmer, and the end (905 chapter), his character has not changed much, like his thoughts or state of mind, there were changes, but just insignificant for a person over 100+ years, and which conquered a bunch of worlds.

Well, I wrote too much, and not necessarily, your points of view will coincide with mine, I just listed the minuses that make the book worse for me, and in the end it’s not even bearable.

This novel is extremely racist and full of chinese nationalistic propoganda. This coming from veterant WN reader, i have read many many book but this top anything i've seen so far. I cant beleive this comes from the writer of WMW.

Spoiler:

Spare yourself some extreme frustration and DONT read this novel. This should be banned and every copy burned so nobody would come across this crap.

Intresting

I have read a bit more than half of the novel and I am dropping it for now. It's semi decent/readable initially but becomes bad mid way. The concept of dream master was quite new and could have been very good if the author was any good at writing action. Unfortunately the action in this novel is the worst amongst the novels I have read . It usually is just listing some random move name which we don't even know what it does and the MC either punching the enemy to oblivion or listing the only attack skill our MC has. The author doesn't even explain any moves nor is there any description of the dynamic action. It's incredibly boring and is extremely hard to visualize.

Also the MC is always under too much pressure from powerful people or is so powerful to overpower everyone else. It's gets too monotonous. The first few chapters were good because it has our MC laying low and being "carefree" as the title suggests.

A large portion of the novel consists of MC going to other realms through dreams as most of the novels in this genre do. But the story pieces in these dreams are pretty bad for the most part. They are usually very generic and copies of other classic stories or just plain bad. One of the realms he explores is basically a world similar to earth and it's one of the worst arcs I have read. It has the "Chinese man good, China is supreme, American man bad, American man racist" tropes. There is also a lot of other types of pandering that goes on. Like modern medicine bad, acupuncture good and so on.

The MC's personality is kinda similar to Leylin. Even though I liked "Warlock of the Magus World" more, this one is still worth reading
