Fantasy Simulator玄幻模拟器

I got to chapter 244 and couldn't continue. At the start it was alright and had enough descriptiveness but as it progress the novel gets worse.

The way the author writes is very boring, rambling, and repetitive.. They avoid writing about action and cultivation if they can and instead prefer to write about politics and people's thoughts. Unsurprisingly people tend to think about the same things that happened in past chapters so the author just keeps writing what happened over and over. Even if they don't think about it the author will figure out a way to repeat information 3,4,5,6,7 times.
The author also rambles way too much and will use way too many sentences to say the same thing as if they were trying to increase the word count on a school essay.
"This guy was powerful, he was powerful because x, because he was powerful the MC feels at ease, with him around the MC would not have any trouble, his power came from x, others could sense his power came from x, others felt fearful because of his x power, but this power was what made him a strong bodyguard for the MC."

If you want to know anything about the MCs cultivation techniques or fighting style you will get crumbs of information at best. Most cultivation levels are simply names with the basic "people are more powerful in this realm" and maybe a tiny description .
In the most recent chapters the author never mentioned how or when the MC cultivated, they simply reached higher levels with no specific realm. Then the MC fights some guys and all he does is slap out. How boring. Then the rest of the chapter is just "side character thinks this" 100 times and politics. It is mind numbingly bad.

If you want to see more of what's specifically wrong with this novel you should scroll down to MoonshineOmega's review.

It’s Amazing.


I’ve never felt inclined to write a review before. But as of chapter 37, this novel has been amazing.

The author doesn’t just say some shit like: “A malicious light could be seen in his eyes” “His eyes showed a vicious glint””He was cold hearted” etc.

These statements rather ”tells” a character’s personality than it shows.

But the author nails the show part in this book. You can actually feel that Chen Heng is scheming, a genius, opportunistic and so on. The author never directly says that he is a genius, cunning etc.

Though he does keep saying he’s handsome.

I don’t know how to write good reviews and am lazy to improve on doing so.
Anyway for now 10/10.

Please If you want to read the book watch out for this.

It is very nice till chapter 170+. Then the mc becomes even more 'kind' than he already is. He says he wants power but you can see so many oppotunities pass just because he is righteous. I would not really reccomend it. You will get hyped for the first 100+ chapters but then it becomes boring. The author at one point starts farming words, the plot gets kinda bad, the mc's character is shit. Dropped at chapter 211.

Read up to Chapter 335. Imo the story itself is interesting enough and theres a pretty decent plot twist in there, but there are some aspects which are definetly annoying and could cause you to decide not to continue on, like I am now.

Firstly, the Simulator and the Points are entirely arbitrary. The Simulator CONSTANTLY changes to do whatever the story needs it to do and the points are basically useless. The amounts he earns/spends never matter and the purchasing power of them are not consistent at all. This is mainly due to the next issue.

The Simulator pretty much never stays the same long enough to explore the options introduced. He can use spend points to unlock Worlds to visit (he starts with 1 already available) and it costs 20 points to run a Simulation.

At the start, after spending the running cost he is then is able to spend extra points to customise TONS of stuff - age, talent, family, skills etc. [Which he can't do due to not having any spare points.]

Then come the next proper simulation, it introduces a randomised feature which gives him a random background for a couple hundred points and that's it, no customisation.

Then the next one after that, it combines the previous 2 - let's him spin for a random background as well as spend points to customise. [Which he uses to reduce his starting age by 5 and gain the weakest level of a Talent.]

Then the big plot twist happens and now he can only spend a random amount of points to run the simulation in a random world.

Then he can choose however many points he wishes to invest to run a simulation, as well as being able to run one in the world he is already in.

He spends points to unlock a world before the plot twist, but never visits it. And after the twist he loses access to all previous worlds.

His second simulation fails before it starts, due to the simulated body dying young, before reaching the target age [his current age], which was done to give a reason as to why the Simulator allows him to choose his age. But them this never happens again - all his simulations after that succeed regardless of age.

After each simulation concludes (before plot twist) he can spin a roulette wheel to recieve things that the simulation body owned, be it equipment, pills, knowledge, skills, cultivation etc. It also introduces the ability for him to store rewards into cards to use in future simulations.

The cards are used once, the very next simulation after they are introduced, then never again. And after plot twist there is no longer a roulette wheel to spin for prizes.

Basically the rules change all the time and they never truly get explored before being dropped. And later on we are given 'explanations' for things, which seem to contradict what was shown in the past. But due to how often the Simulator changes and how often the author retroactively brings things up (explained in detail below), this probably has some excuse/reasoning behind why it's the case.

The other major issue, is the language and just how often the same thing is repeated. In terms of language, it is fairly simple and there are not many issues, but it very very rarely (if ever) uses synonyms. This is just exacerbated by the fact that things are repeated both in multiple chapters and also even within the same chapter as well. I will give examples of this at the bottom.

One thing I have also noticed happening more frequently, is that the author likes to not mention things when they happen, but either a few or in some cases MANY chapters later.

For example in one chapter it says that he examines someone who is unconcious and then heals them. Then a few chapters later it reveals that during that time he took Hair, Flesh and many vials of Blood from them.
From the Chapter where he healed her:

From a few chapters later:


The other example of this type of thing is that the MC wont use the Simulator or a technique/skill etc when it seems like it'd be the obvious thing to try. Then a couple dozens chapters later we are told that, actually he did try it but it didnt work, or that he actually did think about using it back then but decided against it for some reason. Imo this just feels like the author having an outline of what he wants to happen and thus sticking to that regardless of anything. Then when he happens to need to use something that wouldve helped earlier, we are given a retroactive excuse.

In conclusion, the story itself is fairly interesting, but nothing gets properly explored before being forgotten or left behind, which is a shame. If you are fine with that, and don't mind the repetition issues exemplified below, then please give this a try. You really will like it. If not, then I'd reccomend you at least read to the plot twist which is at Chapter 260. It's a pretty decent plot twist imo, which you get some hints of beforehand. Judging from comments in the chapters, people REALLY love the twist. Personally I find it pretty decent, I'm not a fan that

Here are some examples from within Chapter 335 ALONE of repetition - similar things are in a lot of chapters before this as well, and some cases are even more blatant. Every spoiler is a different line of the Chapter - there are some where the wording is almost identical, but that's just how it's written.

He has just started a new simulation and there is a reference to what happened in the previous simulation.
