Eternal Sacred King永恒圣王

I'm not gonna lie, the plot armour is very strong in this one.

The author seems to have fully lost the ability to move the story forward using anything but plot armour. He continuously puts the main character in situations he would have absolutely no way of surviving even if he were 10 times stronger, and then bails him out through absolute bullshit. It's becoming really annoying.

Plus, he always ends up stronger afterwards as well. In one of the more recent chapters I read, one of the mc's clones somehow soloed an entire army of people almost as strong as him, and was then stabbed in the chest by the general with a divine weapon that can one-shot people a realm higher than him with just it's aura. Once he's stabbed he obviously starts dying very quickly and decides to sacrifice the clone to buy time.

I was like, cool, he's finally suffering from a setback and will lose this clone. Thank you.

Except this all HAPPENED to take place in a realm where power above a certain level triggers energy storms that can kill anything very fast, and the sword HAPPENED to trigger it. The general, a being a whole major realm above him, was killed in less than a second, while this guy just HAPPENED to be cultivating a technique that just HAPPENED to be able to absorb a type of energy that just HAPPENED to be contained in the storm, and the weapon just HAPPENED to have an energy drain feature so he just HAPPENED to not explode from absorbing too much energy.

And shit like that happens every 30 chapters.

Does he reached the immortal world ?

You either love this novel or you hate it. I feel both ways about it, but i still rate it 4/5.
The action is cool, the mc is a jack of all trades that learns everything, but he prefers fist fights, so confrontations feel visceral and satisfying. He learns everything he gets his hands on, and he doesn't limit himself to them, even creating techniques and a path for himself. He doesn't just learn ancient techniques from the proverbial grandpa, he actually innovates. He was born a mortal that had no spirit root and couldn't cultivate, so after a certain event, you get to see the transition from weak scholar to baddass chad, which is satisfying. However, everything else just causes me great grief and angst. The world building is rich enough, after all, it's based off of chinese mythology, so if you're used to the genre, you'll pick it up pretty quickly. My gripe with it is that this world is deeply malevolent towards the mc. The author tries to weave the story in such a way to not make it too jarring, but the more chapters you read, the more pissed off you are. Everything that could go wrong, will go wrong, and unfair things will happen to the mc constantly. He could just be minding his own business when suddenly a young master bumps his shoulder, setting of a sequence of events that turns an entire sect into the mc's enemy, forcing him to run away all the time. If that's not enough, these sects will target the mc's friends and family, which makes the mc rush all over the place without rest. This is also a huge gripe i have with this novel, JUST LET ME RELAX FOR ONCE! Fight after fight, rescue after rescue with not a single chapter of rest that can provide some measure of catharsis, over and over again: a roller coaster with no stops. It's extremely tiring. Plus, it's a racially diverse land, with demons, gods, witches and many other creatures, and almost every single one seems to hate the mc in some way because plot. Worst of all, all humans are extremely malevolent, petty, small minded, greedy and never help anyone outside their sects. The author made humanity so pathetic i'm surprised they even existed to begin with. AND! AND! Despite being pathetic, there was no unity! You would think that if humans are so pathetic, they should at least unite and be more charitable towards each other, but nope! I won't go into details, but it's deeply upsetting. Despite all this, i still find the novel competent enough and still read it often.
P.S The mc knows formations but barely uses them. They would have saved him from great troubles if only he ever remembered to use them but whatever. Thanks for reading.

The mc courts death way too easily, but the worst part is you'll agree with him as well, because it fits with his character

What is most annoying? This is a form of idiocy of the author, when he describes one situation, and then completely discards it and creates the exact opposite. Only because he wants to. There is no common sense here, the continuation of the plot. There is just some nonsense.

Я бросаю роман на моменте, когда он сделал себе 2 тела

is there romance ? or any meaningful interaction between sexes. I would hate to read a dry cultivation journey diary where the only other meaningful people are male.

I haven't read his novel in a while, cuz it got really boring for me around 400 something. I read a random chapter in the 1700's. Classic Xianxia a frog in the well. Why the F is there a higher realm? You ascend to become an "immortal" only to literally go back to being the equivelant of a qi refining basic bitch.

At this point I just feel that all the MC do is just reliaing on blind luck and plot armor to continue his journey. He is never cautious, he never thinks ahead and is just blatenly don't care about how it goes either for him or his friends cause guess what? Plot armor will always arrive on time. The story was kinda great but the more I read the more I despise it.

MC just keep rushing into everything, and even if it's in MCs character it just doesn't make sense in like 9 of 10 times, like almost every situation it's almost certain death and the fact that plot armor make him get out alive isent even the worst part, the worst part is that the MC know what kind of situation it is and still rush it. It's so stupid, so brain-dead that I don't even know how to describe it properly. It this point maybe I just drop or read some more out of boredom and have already gone this far (Ch 716), don't really know. It's just a good setting ruined by garbage setup, don't know man...

I've caught up and my conclusion is: Worth it.

The novel is really good in the first 1000ish chapters, but then becomes progressively more boring, with occasional interesting moments. It then starts to pick back up after around chap 1600. So go ahead and read. Definitely in my top 5 cultivation novels.
