Write a reviewIf you can compare it to other novels, it is like the korean novel Running away from the hero that combines with a system.. It has a bit of a different feel, but has the same plot of a funny instructor villain.. You are an instructor who trains villains and some disciple become a villain or a hero who loves you or wants to take your life like a tsundere or yandere... hahaha.. give it a try..
now im writing this review because the other people i have seen reviewing this are either butt hurt people cause their novel didn't get chosen or people who gives 5 star for some small reason i read most of the reviews but i haven't seen one that actually analyses the novel so ill do that. So first off Translation quality is 4,7 stars out of 5 This is mainly because of the fact that there are practically no grammar mistakes and the transitions are smooth enough said. Stability of updates 4,5 out of 5 since this hasn't come to web novel yet i cant expect much from it will probably upload a massive amount of chapter at first then slow down to 1 chapter a day or so and i cant really judge it so it will get a 4.5 from my expectations. Story development 2.8 out of 5 While it is an interesting story it has the feeling of many other novels that i have read that are interesting in the beginning and repetitive in the end not to mention there are a lot of cliches in this novel like a system, being a nice guy and unnaturally becoming loyal when they previously wanted to kill that guy. And to tell the truth it feels like hes bound to the world by the things the previous owner did i dont see a reason for him to rescue his disciple that betrayed him and i dont understand how that could offend the main character so the reasons are vague for what he does or why he does things these ways. Character design 3 out of 5 stars They are average but as i stated before they have unnaturally changed their personality from deadly psychos to loyal somewhat good dogs in around 1 or 2 months considering they have lived for at least a 100 years im surprised they could change that much by some major benefit The only other reason that can explain their personality changing that much is that they are acting cause they think their master can see everything but from their thought process that we are shown that is not very likely. World background 3.2 out of 5 It hasn't been developed much they practically put out some sect names witch the only ones of importance are nether sect heavenly something and clarity sect, after that they put out some cultivating rank thingy yet the only thing i remember are divine court something and eight Brahma something they haven't explained **** and i cant understand why they have done so. My personal opinion of this novel is that it is quite good but its not 5 star nor is it one star if this is you first read it i suggest you try it but if you are tired from cliches such as system Mc walking into traps that he could avoid if he was a bit more cold then dont do this novel the only good point is that i haven't seen a young master but considering his position i dont think a young master would dare trouble him. oh one more thing i dont think there will be romance so if you dont like that you should also try this novel for the people i talked about in the beginning im not trying to offend you by saying that you are butt hurt but im trying to say that its very childish to leave a review yet not having read the book same goes for keep up the good work 5 stars review im starting to have serious trust issues because of you reviews witch are made after reading some pages and being like wow i like this novel lets put some 5 star reviews i dont know what happens later in the story but i like this novel and i dont know how to judge a book so ill just say some word to fill in the word count. so ill end with this dont review a book without judging the book from all the point you've seen like translation character story dont just go for your personal opinion judge it from an objective position and see the logical false things and point that out since that will help a story much more than some 5 star or 1 star reviews.
The system doesn't give him an edge. It gives him a get out of death free card. Due to this, there is no ******* in the story. We know that whenever there is trouble get another get out of death free card.
Can only be said to be decent. It’s not good nor bad. It’s a system and eastern fantasy novel with a couple twists. It’s enjoyable to read and grammar is nice. However there are a couple bad character designs. Firstly, MC reincarnates and inherits a system. This system makes it so that he can exchange points for op items. The former soul had 9 disciples which were all evil since the former soul was evil as well. There are a couple plot holes in the story. For example, MC reincarnates as an evil person who had an extremely powerful soul and lived over 900 years. MC himself has lived for less than 30 years I’m assuming and has a weak soul. Apparently he inherits all the 900 years of memories and still stays the same? This doesn’t make sense at all. He should have had an extreme personality change at least but probably still should’ve lost his mind and started believing that he was the previous soul. After all, 900 years of life is a lot more than 30 years. He shouldn’t have been able to stay the same because he was just a mortal in his previous life, he didn’t have a powerful soul nor mind. He didn’t even have plot armor at this point. I’m guessing the author just forgot about this. Anyways, the next plot hole is that he doesn’t stay evil. He changes to good. This is really a major plot change since I personally came to read about an evil villain trying to control his disciples. I didn’t come here to see a goody-goody hero MC change his evil personality to good and also make his evil disciples into righteous disciples. The title and synopsis are very misleading in this case. It should be called, “My Good Disciples.” The synopsis should’ve stated all of this and I blame the translator/ author. Anyways, this really doesn’t make sense since the system is also a good system. The previous dude was evil but had a good system? This is a big plot hole. I don’t really like this novel because of how misleading it was. I read the title and synopsis and thought to myself how awesome this novel could be. I couldn’t wait to read about an evil MC who lost all his power try to control his evil disciples who would kill him if they knew he lost his powers. The system was kind of weird and random as it didn’t really fit in. I didn’t see the purpose of a system but I thought that it might be there to help the MC to gain his power and also to help make some arcs. But I was disappointed very quickly. The ‘evil’ Mc is actually a good hero. The evil disciples are actually becoming good disciples because of the MC. The system is a good system and it’s giving the evil MC missions to change to a good MC. This was really disappointing. The entire synopsis and title was completely wrong. Also I’m really sorry author but this plot sucks. I doubt you could keep this story going for longer than 200 chapters. If you do keep it going for longer, the quality will drop by so much that it will be able to cause a coma by reading it. If you make the MC progress to slow, the quality will drop by chapter 100. If you make him go at a medium speed, the quality will drop by chapter 175. If you make the MC go fast, the quality will drop by chapter 70. I wish you luck author. My advice is to make him go at medium speed and write maybe 200 chapters. I get that you’re being different but this really isn’t how you do it. You were supposed to get rid of the system. Keep the MC’s evilness. The plot should be that the MC is supposed to climb his way back up to the peak while keeping his disciples under check. It should’ve been like those reincarnated god novels where the MC reincarnates and has to start from scratch. However the disciples and evil mind personality would have given them a unique read. If you had done this, you would have been able to write 500 chapters of decent quality or either 300 chapters of excellent quality. Now that you’ve screwed the plot by making it a goody-goody MC, you can at best write 500 chapters of garbage quality or 200 chapters of decent quality.
Reveal Spoilera waste of potential it could've been so much more but it's horrid the concept was nice but a merit system?! this is cliche af and frankly i would prefer the mc was evil heck i'd even be fine with good disciples and bad master overall rating: not worth my time
How did this get picked??? The reviews are less. So are the top fans??? Webnovel just picking what they want!! So whats the point of trial read????
trash the title is also misleading, the title should be i make the bad guy disciple to good guy, i thought i found another novel like reverend insanity but this is trash misleading title
I was about to try reading this novel but I stopped. I had remembered that webnovel is the one advertising and recommending this novel. This novel is definitely not free.
For those wondering I've read to 500 Chps in raws. It's a good story though it does have flaws. But first I strongly recommend you read the other Teacher/Senior Brother Novels first. Like {Master Of Untold Daos} It's really cool seeing him transmigrated into an old body, instead of facing Young Masters, he fights Old Foggies. It's extremely slow progress, we don't get into pills till the 350s. The first arc we find out MC old body regaining his youth back but it stops there. It's just gets very contradictory since the System becomes nonexistence. He's trying to break-through when it's unnecessary [He has the System for that after all.] It's get even weirder when it's mentioned "Will you let your country get trampled by a foreign race?". Which I find pretty stupid because they clearly didn't give a fudge in the beginning and let the world become chaotic. [Yes this novel gets into politics, a royal family which is pretty dam annoying since they're the antagonist/main-subject for over 200 chapters!] This is why I think the Author has his priorities wrong. It no longer feels like a Cultivation novel. I didn't mind the mesh of Wuxia elements at first, it's fine to temper yourself in the mortal world. (Every CN has a mortal arc at least once but this is too much!) The thing that bothers me the most is that even after 500 Chapters, The Author hasn't given anything to the Characters! Just a weapon. That's why I say the System becomes nonexistent. It makes me really sad and have mix feelings about this story.. I don't know what I should expect from this story anymore.
Racist trash. Typical can do no wrong MC where even if he's the one to mess up others are punished for it. MC's country is an analogue for China and the story really suffers for it.
If you enjoyed HNOF, the, you will love this. Our MC transmigrated into a villainous old man's body, and everyone including his disciples are trying to kill him. It is well developed and fast paced. A recommended must read.
Read until the latest volume ~ I'm gonna give review I love all the characters and personality of his disciple 1st disciple - Stubborn, OP similar strength with 2nd disciple, both a rival due to weilding different weapon "saber & sword" and claim their weapon choice is the best, sect master with great personality, dependable senior brother, had unique race 2nd disciple - Stubborn, arrogant to the core but backup with his OPness, sword freak, always fighting and improving his skilss, his personality very sarcastic and at the same time down to earth 😂, his rivalry with his senior brother always entertaining bickering and comparing who is weak eh [while his senior required material to ascend higher cultivation, he sarcastically compare to his senior brother that he do not need help from external or his master to ascend 😂] 3rd disciple - Strong, simple minded, always training and fearless. good senior brother and always listen to his master, his character more like a balance to all the other character seems more normal compare to other character, he weild spear and loves his spear when gifted by his master. 4th disciple - cunning, loves playing around, smart, always get bullied by his senior brother for training, he weild scabbard? not sure what kind of weapon probably sword with scabbard, reliable disciple 5th disciple - She, not genius in cultivation but above average, she have background history related to imperial, not much of impact her in the novel probably just to balance things out the story 6th disciple - she, strong, just below his senior brother in term of cultivation, she had amorus hoop I forgot the weapon type, she betray his master and get captured by his master due to misunderstood of her history, she pretty responsible to her action (basically all mc disciple are good nature just going astray due to prev master teaching), has unique race 7th disciple - Smart, calculative, information brain, loves to think, he think he is the smartest but he was destroyed when modern math? or add math was introduce to him causing him to have restless night to solve it 😂, not as strong as his senior brother but he got brain 8th disciple - this disciple is a troll, funny and thick skin, loves to flattered his master and his skill in flattering is very exceptional, not genius but he is average in cultivation due to specific cultivation he only can do, very interesting character 9th disciple - She, Genius, she is one of the fastest cultivation to achieve high realm, mc fond of her, very refreshing character, always want to kill people but over the time she was deconditioned to think other perspective rather than solve every problem in killing, funny character and likeable 10th disciple - she, genius cultivator, different from her other senior brother and sister ( future chapter will reveal her birth ), she weild a flute? more like sound and controlling beast power, she and 9th disciple always hang out together, very quiet person due to her lost memory MC - very op, one shot everyone but after he recover his cultivation he is much more relying himself compare to system, I like his character, mature and think out of box when he still not strong enough, loves his interaction between his disciple, the teaching of the way of sword is interesting for me as he has a lot of exp story very well done the slowly progress to new arc where there are new realm diffrent from mc sect since he already defeated all the strongest existence in mc place. love it for Grammer I have no problem it's fine for me maybe some mistypo here and there but since my Grammer also trash I have no right to complain 😂 overall I'm unsatisfied since it moving to new arc where there are new realm to be explore and it getting good madefaker if I can kidnap the author to write the novel fast like 10 chapter per day I will gladly but since its very likely I can do that I just patiently wait till then huhuhu
Reveal SpoilerGreat Work. It is quite humorous with a lot of action. The main character is quite clever and does things after careful consideration. His disciples also have a well defined character and do not appear as mere supporting roles. And the addition of the system makes the cultivation progress much more interesting. Overall it is a great novel and definitely worth your time 😁.
Another cultivation novel with generic one-dimensional characters and plot armor. I don't really mind the other characters but the fucking MC. HE has gained a few memories from the original but only remembered the more convenient ones as for the rest, they were sealed for some reason by the original. The mc is so bland that even the premise feels fucking stupid. there was this chapter when he went to an old acquaintance who asked to play some type of chess yet he didn't know how to play and just started putting pieces outside or something, when the other guy saw it, he was like" Wow amazing, you're so smart." It happens almost every time he goes out, someone tooting his horn about how great the mc is.
Reveal Spoilerenjoyable novel... good for relax time reading. story is good and well engaging...and important one is not boring. the story keep audience in mood for expecting next storyline
I don't understand how this is so highly rated. Characters are shallow. Concept seemed interesting but seeing the protagonist trying to be Bodhisattva ruins it completely. Attempt at comedy is poor. World building is not detailed. You can read it but it was not enjoyable for me.
I like this novel and I am happy that this novel got picked because it's really amazing and alot of people are sad that my senior is to shady did not get picked and I can assure you that it's also a good novel, these two books are amazing and when I see someone post a one star review I am one hundred percent sure they didn't even read them, because if you had read both of them you won't even care and that's why I like this community and that's why this book still has a 4.6 star review unlike the other novel who got a 3.6 star review.
I don't often actively try to rate novels, thinking that they will eventually come around and later released, however this novel is quite outstanding compared to all the others I have read. It has all the aspects of a non-repeatable adventure; you get the feeling that everything is fantastically realistic, an MC who thinks carefully before he acts, but is not too cautious: capable of even doing the craziest things that will help him survive (although he doesn't do anything that goes against he moral principles) The world building is also quite extraordinary, nothing is alike and everything is very fun to read about. The author reveals and conceals all the necessary details so as to keep the reader engaged. Overall it is a great pick to read with an amazing writing and translation quality.👍👍👍
I read till ch 46 and so far its a decent read, there have been better novels in the previous trials but this one is somewhere in the middle. The mc is transmigrated as a villain teacher who was not a good one apparently as half his disciples betrayed. Mc has a system that helps him when its convienent and just when he needs help mostly. Mc is not dumb but not ingenious either, the other characters are alright but they are not too fleshed out which is understandable. Overall a good read but I highly doubt wn picking it up s there are novels worse than this waiting to be picked. I am only writing this for that worthless 5exp and beacuse this books reminds me of ...... Palpatine: Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? Anakin: No. Palpatine: I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create...life. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side, he could even keep the ones he cared about...from dying. Anakin: He could actually...save people from death? Palpatine: The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. Anakin: What happened to him? Palpatine: He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power...which, eventually of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death...but not himself. Anakin: Is it possible to learn this power? Palpatine: Not from a Jedi.
Normally when i find a good novel i will review it meticulously and try to get everybody to give it a try, at least with the 39 free chapters, and this novel is indeed one such that would warrant that. However web novel has been on a streak of choosing **** novels and letting better ones like this one go untranslated hence i will not do a huge review. Read the 39 free chapters and even if you don't completely love the novel you will at least want its continued translation
