As I said I would do, now that it has reached 20 chapters I'm updating my review.
So first off, I'll start with what others are probably expecting:
What tropes are present here?
Well, there's a decent amount.
Be it young masters, though they're pretty much just teens acting their age as I explained in my earlier review (shown below), it's honestly not that bad so far.
We already have a few of what could be considered Meguffins, so no surprises there.
The MC has a special ability(?) that is either due to the Meguffin(s) or some bloodline thing with his missing parents, likely his father.
But at the same time, the author has shown skill in worldbuilding and fight scenes, mostly having good flow throughout.
I'd recommend giving it a try, and go in with as neutral an expectation as possible. Then you'll probably be pleasantly surprised by this one.
8/10 from me.
——————Old Review——————
It has only just begun at 3 chapters thus far, so this review will be updated periodically. First at 20 chaps, then again later depending on if I keep reading.
So far, it's an interesting read with good potential and some of the classic tropes. Young masters, worlds beyond worlds, & even a meguffin item in the possession of the MC who allegedly has shitty talent but some dude noticed he had special aspects to him in the first chapter.
Said person also "kidnapped"¹ his sister, but oh well.
As for the young master(s), it's just some brat so far in the third chapter. Bad intentions and threats so far, but no actual harm besides what is effectively a petty prank and a few insults. Basically just a kid being a kid².
Well that's all, unless you want clarifications on what certain things mean. So far the world building has been decent in the first few chapters, but not enough content to really give a rating.
——————Notes——————
¹ : Definitely kidnapped. Regardless of whether the MC told her to go along with it and that they'd meet again, kidnapping is still kidnapping. Doesn't matter if you pay their guardian when you've already said she doesn't have an option.
² : This is more just my opinion, but for cultivators I'd say they truly become adults much later than a mortal.
Say a cultivator is gonna live to 3000, while a mortal lives to 100. Then I'd say it'll take at least a century or two till the cultivator is like an adult, while the mortal will only need 20-30 years.
It's a matter of perspective, and adults tend to act like children quite often anyway, but it's more a baseline.
As my mum once said: "Adults are just tall children."
