Reaper of the Martial World

Ive been following the book for the better part of a year now, it consistently keeps the fun of an OP MC going through challenges like a breeze, and also the drama that comes with incredible powers, and how others in the old establishment react to breaking the status quo of the world willing or un willingly. Dyon his wifes and friends are well developed in a way that is truly rare in light novels especialy free ones. personally I find the daily uploads a thing to look forward to. Some times the consistency lets me skip a few days and then binge a little. I recomend it absolutely!

*sigh, this was so beautifully formatted. Anyway, as far as cultivation / wuxia novels are concerned, this is better than the usual. The main character doesn't follow the trend for wuxia novels of fight, power up, fight, almost dies but deus ex machina. Instead, the author gives reasonable explanations for the things that occur, there is some, but not a lot of deus ex machina going on, and the story progession is fairly interesting. That being said, the author really, really, really tends toward over-explaining. Seriously, there is too much background for fairly inconsequential things. *minor spoiler here* For example, when the celestial hamsters are introduced, the author gives a great explanation for why they're important for most people: they're living repositories of all the knowledge in all of existance. Full stop. That was all that needed to be said. Instead, the author goes on a tangent about how the rodents are masters of time will because of reasons, which, quite frankly, aren't relevant to the story. *end minor spoiler* The author constantly goes on tangents, sometimes for pages at a time. I've found myself skipping a lot of the "story" to get to the next part where the main character actually does a thing instead of why the character's method of doing a thing is somehow intrinsically better. I like the explanations for the reactions of the various parties to the things Dyon does. X realizing A because of Z the character did is awesome and relavent. The entire backstory of some technique, including its effects on the multi-verses is not very relavent to the story. HOWEVER, if the explanation of the whatsit is something that becomes relavent later on, there is a bit of leeway. Even so, I think that this story would be stronger if the explanations were relavent to what is immediately happening. If the hamsters abilities are relavent later on, I don't think that point would be too late to explain why they have them; particularly if it's the MC asking. Which brings me to the other big problem I have with wuxia novels: the MC usually never has to ask for an explanation for anything. They just somehow know things. Super ancient thing no one knows how to use? The MC knows how!, or quickly figures it out. Dyon often falls into this pitfall as well. It makes a character less relateable, which also weakens a story. Having Dyon ask for the reasoning behind something occasionally would solve both of these issues, as the author can over-explain to an extent, and Dyon would look less like some omniscient being, and more like someone who barely knows enough to get by; which the author already stated is the case in the story. However, even with the tangents, this story is head and shoulders above those wuxia novels where the author is just kissing the ass of their protagonist 24/7. *cough battle through the heavens *cough TLDR: Good story, way too many tangents detract from the action. The MC could stand to ask for the reasons things work the way they do occasionally. Having the MC do so would strengthen the story.

Good
