Fate had never been kind to Ji Ning. Wracked by illnesses and infirm his entire life on Earth, Ji Ning knew early on that he would die as a teenager. What he didn’t know was that there really was such a thing as life after death and that the multiverse was a far larger place than he thought.

A lucky twist of fate meant that Ji Ning was reborn into a world of Immortals and monsters, of Ki Refiners and powerful Fiendgods, a world where Dynasties lasted for millions of years. A world which is both greater… and yet also smaller… than he ever could imagine. He would have the opportunity to join them, and in this life, Ji Ning swore to himself, he would never let himself be weak again! The Era he was born into was a Desolate one, but Ji Ning would make it his era. Collapse

    I've been reading this for more than a week, but I didn't even notice how this time passed (although it's usually quite difficult for me to withstand mediocre works without the slightest innovative moments of 1k+ chapters ). I like to read something with new ideas and an interesting system of cultivation ( when you see new names in the ranks, it interests you, and when the stages are also not a banal absorption of energy and an increase in strength , but something of a more interesting kind, as here with various types of overcoming your understanding of the world ( something I read only in founder number 1 ) this increases the book by several stages at once, since it is clear that the author is seriously thinking about his world, and not just copying ideas from other works ).
    Most MC's are either a talented kind guy with narrow thinking or arrogant cold killers (they also have kind hearts, but this is different) here I saw a completely new type of MC, which combined the two above with the addition of other interesting concepts and turned into a completely new and unknown.
    The world is quite boring for me, although it really is something new, but not particularly interesting.
    The author did not skimp on interesting minor characters that were really interesting to watch(you may not even suspect that this is a minor character, and not a simple extras for one frame).
    I also really liked how the author presented various forces and internal interaction in them. (There is no usual here, the MC has joined some force and the disciples of this force come to him to cause trouble , here they are really "One single force "with" friendly competitions within the force", and not fratricide among themselves.
    The goal of improving the MC makes you really want him to improve ( in most other novels, the MC just wants to be strong in order to be strong).
    There really is a lot of unnecessary and not interesting, but this is probably 10-20% of the entire novel! I'm not downplaying it , most of the new information makes you want more and more.
    I think I wrote the basic information , as for me the rest of the secondary parts.
    I have read quite a lot of different novels , but this "Desolate Era" will be included in the top 3. (I hope you will read this novel ) satisfied
    (I apologize for my English)

    I finished the whole thing and I can say with confidence that this is one of the best cultivation novels out there, and definitely my favourite. I have no words which can accurately portray how much I recommend this book. The mc is interesting and extremely well written, the other characters have their own character arcs and development as well, even the bad guys. The story is absolutely insane, and there's NOT A SINGLE YOUNG MASTER! Can you believe that? Not one! every single conflict and action scene feels deserved.

    The world building is fascinating, and the conflicts do not feel forced. What I mean by that is there's no: "Mc starts in big city with great clans, becomes strongest person there, place gets immediately attacked by way stronger outsiders, finds out it's actually a backwater shithole, leaves to join strongest organisation around, coincidentally joins 5 days before the secret realm/ancestral grounds/competition that happens once every 5000 years, trips over the greatest treasure in said realm/ancestral grounds/competition, becomes strongest person there, place gets immediately attacked by way stronger outsiders, finds out it's actually a backwater shithole, leaves to join strongest organisation around, coincidentally joins 5 days before the secret realm/ancestral grounds/competition that happens once every 5000 years, trips over the greatest treasure in said realm/ancestral grounds/competition, becomes strongest person there, place gets immediately attacked by way stronger outsiders, finds out it's actually a backwater shithole, leaves..." and so on and so forth.

    In this one, the mc joins the strongest sect, and then calmly cultivates there and gets as strong as he can in that place BECAUSE IT'S THE STRONGEST SECT! But there's still tons of action, because he always goes on adventures to temper himself, or competitions, or a war starts or something. I think I've seen the same pattern repeat only twice in the whole 4500+ chapters of this book, which is f#cking impressive. The author somehow comes up with dozens different ways of making the plot interesting and almost all of them work!

    I'm gonna stop now because there's literally not enough words in my vocabulary to describe how absolutely insanely good this book is. JUST READ IT!

      Yeah, I like it a lot too, it was my first cultivation novel so it's kinda special for me, I just wish there was more romance but because of you know what it became quite difficult and since it's not a harem it just happened in the end of the book. Fu#k, 1 chapter is to little, at least give me 2. The situation of the servant girl was a little sad but I understand it, I find those kind of novel with just 1 wife with more potential than harem, there they just go colecting girls every city they pass, well, not that I don't read harem novels, but you get me.

        Ye. It's cool when you're just getting into cultivation novels, but once you've read a dozen or so mc's f#cking every woman they come across and then forgetting about them, it gets repetitive.
