After ten years in the hands of his enemy, Michael takes the only way out and jumps to his death, right into a parallel world 20 years in the past. He appears in his own body that is just 14 years old, and gets another chance to live a better life.
There, he fuses with a program called Splendid Glory, a cultivation assistant. With its help, Michael steps on the path of cultivation and begins to unravel the mysteries of the World Tree.
Watch as he uses his wits and strength to correct his past life’s wrongs, protect the people dear to him, build an empire and become the greatest hero this world has ever known.

As it is just one chapter, I am posting this review for a little motivation. Please make sure that you keep updates in timely manner even if not on daily basis. I like the synopsis, which is kind of opposite of Scheming system and similar to Hero System. Although it is alright taking inspirations from other pieces, but remember to stand out. ✌️
I’ve caught up to the most recent chapter and I’m really liked it so far. I’m also curious to the heights he can reach in the future, like can he destroy buildings? Are other people on earth able to even match him after he gets past the first stage of cultivation? Aliens? I like this story’s potential! Keep it up!
Wow, this was fantastic. Based on the summary and my preconceptions about the quality of most webnovels, I thought this novel would be a jumbled mess of poorly spelled words and unplanned story but it proved me wrong. Love the story, love the pacing, keep up the great work.
One of kind novel so far. Trust me, worth reading it. And why the heck I need to write 140 characters. Really? So how is weather today? Good? Somehow I feel pity for people who want to write short and ****** but powerful review. Yet they are forced to write an essay instead.
I have read up to the end of book 1 and will be dropping this book. The author and the world have great potential but there were two things that killed it for me personally. The first was that the details of this novel just seem subtly wrong. A good example of what I mean is the response to a comet coming near earth. This happens semi-regularly in the real world and the various responses people have to it (from cults proclaiming the end of days to nothing at all) are fairly well known. In this world though, every world leader gives an IDENTICAL speech at exactly the same time to reassure all citizens of their countries. Everyone in the world stops working and hides in their house with emergency food for days before the comet comes. After the comet flies by the planet, there is worldwide rioting for days. This is insane. Why??? There are a lot of oddities like this in the novel that stand out and were regularly breaking my immersion in the story. The other issue is the tone. This book is about teenagers in high school (one of whom has super powers). Great. But our super hero straight up permanently disables his fellow students because he doesn't like them. His principal murders a man for threatening a student (even when the man has no way to carry out such a threat). The good guys in this novel are violent and dark. That is the GOOD guys. In a novel about teenage super heroes. It reminds me of books like the meta world chronicles over at royal road and that is not a good thing. It feels like if I was reading the first Harry Potter book and Harry was permanently cursing kids in Slitherin because of fights at school and Dumbledore murdered Harry's muggle family for being pricks. It isn't that this is impossible just a really jarring tone in that kind of book. That said I really liked the original take on reincarnating. Selling music, videogames, Youtube channels, etc. were all great ideas. The cultivation system was well done. The characters were fairly well developed and change over time which is great. The writing is excellent with few to no noticeable grammatical or spelling issues. I definitely think the author is talented and is doing a great job for a first novel.

I don't know why I haven't done this earlier but five starts all around, just think of it as a cultivation novel that is not dog**** and extremely repetitive. With good character writing and fantastic use of human emotion, the characters are real and think logically enough for them to not point a gun at themselves whilst inspecting it. Thank you author san for this gift to the world, I was starting to get jaded from all the horrible cultivation novels presently.
I think this story is above average, but it's not 10/10 140 characters 140 characters 140 characters 140 characters 140 characters 140 characters
Holy **** this story is good. Character development, reasonable and thoughtful romance, a clear goal for the mc, and even fantasy settings and a system? If this isn’t a good ass story, flip me over and slam a rock on my ass. Bet. Also the technical side of the story is good. Haven’t seen grammar mistakes, lengthy chapters, and thoughtful descriptions.
I hope his mom wont die if that happen it will be a path vengeance i dont like that......... And this 140 word thingy i hope they change this as well....

Quite good ,has an interesting concept, can do a bit better on the writing.will support!!!...........,.....,..,..........................,**** the word limit
New author who could use a little bit of work on his English at times, but that being said it's better than 99% of the stuff on this site already! The majority of the time the author follows a logical progression, and shows the motivations for the characters actions in a way that makes sense and is engaging. I think this author has a lot of potential, and if he had a professional editor on hand this novel would be almost publishable! Keep on writing, keep on practicing, keep on doing your thing! As a piece of advice, you might want to start distancing yourself from readers comments. As your novel gets more and more popular you will eventually attract some trolls, and some very loud negative voices from idiots who don't know what a proper story is, and couldn't write one to save their lives. Make sure not to let them discourage you!
It's really well thought out and written, the pacing for each chapter is nice and it's not a info dump like some novels with a system. I wish you luck and hope you update stably.
I am enjoying this novel so far and recommend you continue, Thank You!!! Since I need more characters to post I would like to add that "I like my women the way I like my coffee, bitter(I don't care what color the woman is) and black with a hint of sweetness.
I love this book it is addictive and interesting and is super underaited I recommend this to anyone looking for something unique or addictive I hope the author does not dropp this or get bored of writing this the author could add in new things to make it less borring like him conquering planets with his powers or with the help of others or another idea is adding kingdom building elements or going to fictional worlds or sci-fi worlds I hope the author adds in those things and I hope the author makes a 1000+ chapters
Trust me guys this is a very good novel that follows the lone cultivator in a modern world trope but executes it well and brings intressting twist to the trope
This is a pretty well written and enjoyable book. I’ve read several “system” novels and this one is probably in my top 5 just because of the realistic dialogue between the protagonist and the system. There’s a little bit of questionable character development regarding certain side characters but nothing that takes away from the content. Author also does well with handling properly given criticism and communicates well at the moment. (10/2/18) Will update if necessary.

Hey, everyone. Thank you for taking a look at my novel. As for many, this is my first attempt at writing, so I welcome constructive criticism. There will be many things - transmigration, a system with a small twist, earning money while trying to cultivate and navigate through school. I just have too many interests, but I believe I will be able to incorporate them all in a healthy way. There are two things I dislike in novels that first come to mind - meaningless nationalism and stupidly huge harems. I will try to address both. The school is, in fact, an international experimental school, and while I cannot refuse myself the pleasure of writing a harem novel, I will do my best to keep it romantic, realistic and not over-the-top. Also, this first chapter was just a test of site's functionality. Stable updates will start from August, 1. With that said, I shall shamelessly rate myself with 5 stars and invite you again to add Model Citizen to your library and take a look again in a few days!
