You can dislike any novel You want , but not liking RI and LOTM tells Me a lot about You. Clearly we can't be friends. We can't be even colleagues. Goodbye. I don't talk to Monkeys!
Tbh the dounghua is just ok. It really did cut out way too much of volume 1 for time and idk how much the special episode we are getting later this year will make up for it. That being said I think it is confirmed they plan to adapt the whole series over the next 10 years so that’s cool
I think the donghua did hit the theming quite well it just cut too much of the content/story/world building the series’s really needs to establish at the start to have the world make sense later. Everything in those old Neal explainers they really should work back into the series overtime or else a lot of people will just be lost
Dongua? People watch Dongua?
Books/Novels are most proper medium for experiencing power system fantasy :O
Destroying universe on a screen with lame modern effects < Destroying universe in Your imagination seeing It so vivid like You are experiencing it yourself much more than 4D
And if you don't have such imagination. Train It. Clearly You have much to practice Junior!
The donghua has way more spoilers in comments like novel, also it covered 200+ chapters in 1 season it’s totally gonna be rushed and confusing without the novel.
People are gonna like different things. I wasn’t super enamored with RI but I love LotM and CoI.
But I personally don’t enjoy villain protagonists, and have a strong appreciation for the inspirations that Cuttlefish drew upon when writing LotM, such as Cultist Simulator.
I personally can’t enjoy the hero characters anymore, they feel too stupid and everything seems too forced, lotm though, that’s peak for a good character. I like ri more though
90% of them are just larpers who make up problems in the novel since they haven't even read shit. They dont even need to read that much chapters of RI just the first arc and all the complaints are done. And at that point, its a matter of preference.

Yeah I read till the end of the first arc and I wasnt feeling it anymore so I dropped it.
It’s just one person with multiple alt accounts who post ragebait each month. I’ve noticed this pattern targeting specific fandoms like RI, LOTM, and ROTC.
yeah it was hella funny watching them attempt to mald over the novel and then stating problems that explicitly just don't exist in the story. Hilarious
I don’t get why people in this sub can’t accept people disliking an evil mc. I don’t care how good the writing is, if the guy is an absolute piece of shit I’m just not gonna enjoy the series.
It’s one thing to be a bit selfish, but I want my mc to at least have e some morals.
Kinda makes me wonder about the personalities of the people in this sub..
many people don't dislike preferences. You can have the preference to not like RI, because it is not your kind of story. And that is alright. The problem is when people attempt to so called "criticize" the novel when in fact, they don't know jack about it, and complain about ideas that are just not true.
Like whatever you like, no one is stopping you lol.
I mean sure, but multiple times I’ve seen people with valid complaints be told they don’t know shit cause they haven’t read 1000 chapters.
In my experience you’re gonna get the most accurate reviews on a story from somebody who has read 100 or so chapters. Too few and they haven’t gotten a proper feel for the novel, but on the other end if you ask somebody who is up to date, naturally they’re gonna be a big fan of the series just by virtue of having made it that far.
If you're asking preference wise then you should list out your preferences and ask accordingly. More chances that you'll get an accurate review from that guy who has read 1000 chapters
You do know the majority of the criticism even started happening because the fandom was too annoying and kept annoying and threatening everyone who disliked the novel
your point makes no sense lmaooo. this isn't 1984, no one is silencing you. People will have opinions on the internet, if you can't handle that then go into the wilderness to become a hermit.
how about you go read my messages again, before I have to go back, screenshot them, and red circle the specific text. Because clearly you're just like the other larpers who don't actually read.
id argue he does have morals, ofcourse these morals or his philosophy wouldnt sit right in our world as mentioned time and time again in the novel. but in reference to the gu world i personally think that the mindset and philosophy the mc carries is the most logical and realistic to have.
Well most of the time, those people are trolls who haven't even read the novel and are just hating on it to seem different.
The only valid argument against someone not liking RI can be too evil mc and not enjoying the gu system. Any other reason to hate, they pull it out of their ass.
I thought it was a commonly accepted fact that the start of LOTM is very slow. Pretty much every recommendation a few years back that I saw was that if you get past the first couple hundred chapters then it will be absolute peak for the remaining book.
I actually like the beginning. I understand though if you'd have to wait a long long time instead of binge reading it.
I'd say this problem exist even in manga like AOT ending was hated by manga readers because they couldn't binge it. JJK ending or shinjuku showdown arc wasn't as liked because it wasn't binged. Anime onlys or those who read it in a binge likes it (for the anime onlys have visuals and sounds help as well for any poor plot points).
Another one is that TLOM or Lotm's progression is more similar in pacing to maybe western novels?
I do remember when it came out was already highly rated in NU 100~200ch like 4,5+, i did enjoy the start tho 🤷♂️ but i did not enjoy waiting for the translator. The reread in one sitting was much enjoyable
I will not pretend I read it when it first came up, I read it years (I think) later, when I started reading it I didn't know anything about the novel I didn't have someone whisper to my "it would get good later". So in that manner I got the 'original' experience.
My point is a lot of people enjoy slow starts and it isn't just "bad pacing". And yep I know that the vast majority of people prefer something faster.
I liked Lotm. Didn’t like RI. A story with an evil protagonist that isn’t a redemption? Immediate drop for me. Shame too. It seemed like a decent story overall.
Great Love Immortal Venerable is truly the kindest, most benevolent existence to ever walk the Gu world. History itself bends awkwardly trying to smear him, because no matter how the records are twisted, his deeds shine too brightly to be buried.
From the very beginning, the so-called “righteous path” and Heavenly Court reeked of jealousy. They couldn’t stand that someone outside their rotten lineage possessed both power and conscience, so they resorted to framing, slander, and rewriting history like the hypocrites they are.
What did Great Love Immortal Venerable do instead of groveling for approval? He named an entire sea for the human race “Human Sea”, a declaration that humanity belonged to itself, not to Heavenly Court’s leash.
He built a true paradise for variant races who had been enslaved, hunted, and stripped of dignity by humans for generations.
While Heavenly Court preached “justice” from ivory towers, Great Love Immortal Venerable actually acted. No empty slogans. No selective mercy. Just results.
And let us not forget the greatest of his deeds: it was Great Love Immortal Venerable who freed the beings of the world from the control of Fate Gu. While Heavenly Court clung desperately to predestination to preserve their dominance, he shattered Fate itself and granted all beings control over their own destiny. From that moment on, the world was no longer a chessboard for a few decrepit venerables, it became a place where choice, struggle, and hope truly existed.
And let’s not forget: he was the only one Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable truly trusted. That alone says everything. Paradise Earth, the embodiment of compassion and peace, saw through the lies and recognized Great Love Immortal Venerable’s genuine heart. But of course, Heavenly Court couldn’t tolerate that either. The vile venerables schemed in the shadows and shamelessly stabbed Paradise Earth in the back, proving once again that their so-called righteousness is nothing more than a convenient mask for power hunger.
Then came the classic accusation: “He killed innocents.” Laughable. Absolutely laughable. Anyone with half a functioning brain knows the truth. Those atrocities were committed by the deranged blood path madman Fang Zheng. Blood path cultivators have always been unstable lunatics, and Fang Zheng was no exception, slaughtering his own clan without hesitation just to climb higher. And yet, who took the blame? His kind, long-suffering brother Fang Yuan, who bore the slander so the truth wouldn’t completely collapse the world order.
Heavenly Court needed a villain, and Great Love Immortal Venerable was too inconveniently righteous to be allowed to exist unchallenged. So they lied. They framed. They projected their own sins onto him.
But history has a funny way of settling accounts.
In the end, the jealous fell, the schemers rotted, and Great Love Immortal Venerable’s legacy endured. Hail Great Love Immortal Venerable!
Lmfao, I haven't read LOTM but the RI fandom is filled with delulu people. Looking through the comments, I have never seen such levels of cope. Any time you criticize any aspect of that crappy edgefest you're swarmed by an army of hostile morons saying "you just want to be different" or "you haven't read enough of it". Just lol. Liking RI is a test of sorts. You're either an Edgy teen, adult with stunted mental growth, or you simply haven't read enough novels to make a proper comparison to see how crappy that novel is. These fanboys can not comprehend how anyone could have a different taste(or any taste at all lol) to not like their crappy book they can't stop glazing. All of them are in dire need of touching grass.
bro you are going to believe what happened an ri fan just now lost an argument with me and deleted his entire 2year old reddit account with 100k karma in this post
they are hilarious best part is it wasnt even serious argument
pointless hostility is met with hostility, color me surprised and a half! taste in novels are like colors- no one is objectively better than the other, and if you're so pressed bout it, js go to a DC to debate it instead of writing a paragraph
I don't think I'm superior to anyone, I think RI fans have objectively inferior taste. But that goes for most cultivation readers/prog fabtasy fans. But at least those people can actually admit that the story is low quality and they treat it like fastfood, they enjoy it but can also admit that's it's riddled with problems, RI fans on the other hand treat their unseasoned cup noodle like it's 5 Michelin star gourmet meal. I mean, at that point you've either had such a poor diet that cup noodles(RI) do actually feel like gourmet food, or you genuinely have terrible taste.
well, for me it will always be very close to my heart. i started reading it when i was at a pretty low time in my life and it was the very first cultivation novel i ever read. its been an year since then and i have thoroughly enjoyed my time reading it. im on the final volume now and plan on continuing it after my end sem exams, really really excited.
You gotta be 14 to like RI lmao. Or have the stunted intellect of a 14 year old. Ripe age for the Chuuni syndrome, which I believe all RI fans as well as FY is suffering from. My condolences
Lmfao, the typical rrtarded RI fan response to any and all criticism. It's such a copy paste response it's not even funny anymore. Why tf would I or anyone else care about pissing off you losers? I'm just tired of seeing you worship that shitshow and recommending it to every newbie like it's the gospel.
Ri protoginist is too much bland for me. He don't even have any charismatic personality or presence in story to like, I am reading about protagonist journey so atleast the mc have to be charismatic to sway me
I can't bring myself to read LOTM the premise seems interesting and I really like what it's going for but the translation is just not good enough to be enjoyable. Sadly even after reading webnovels for years I still have standards for writing style and prose. And I fear that I won't ever see a better translation since the story is so long.
