An accidental clone. Talent no one saw coming. Infinite worlds to explore.

Percy was born with little hope of standing out—just another face in a world ruled by bloodlines and class. Starting with the lowest Red core and mocked as a waste, Percy was always overlooked by his peers and scorned by the powerful. But when his bloodline awakens with the power to send clones across worlds, he seizes the chance to shatter expectations.

Exploring strange realms teeming with danger, Percy returns with priceless treasures: divine techniques, obscure knowledge, and even the seed of a second mana core stolen from an advanced civilization. But the road to the apex is riddled with peril. The elixirs he needs to advance? He’ll have to master alchemy to brew them himself. The Great Houses, scheming titans, and invading gods?

They’ll do anything to crush him before he can prove that even a so-called waste can reach the stars.

What to expect:-Weak to strong male MC-Daily releases-Fast paced with frequent powerups-Fantasy setting with magic and a system-Isekai elements (Percy often possesses random bodies on distant worlds)-Western cultivation elements (Cleansing mana core to extend lifespan)-Morally grey MC (Willing to break a few rules but not a scumbag)-Alchemy-Runecrafting

Read book one on Amazon and it was really good. The synopsis needs to be rewriten and the beginning is a little ... He's whiney and had a chip on his shoulder, which is understandable. It would be better if his determination took a center stage a little sooner. But it's a really good book.

I just read the entire thing and be up to date in less than a week. Like a few days, during a festival just because of how good this story is. It got me hooked.
The skill acquisition and the direction the character is taking are fascinating, yet i can't help but wonder if his powers would be better adjusted in uplifting others.

I'm really enjoying this story. It tells the tale of a young man, Percy, who develops the ability to project himself to other planes of existence, and (sometimes) come back with powers from those planes. His ability has constraints (frequency of use) which slows the power creep and therefore does not come at a cost of dramatic tension. Another thing I like about this story is that as litrpg-cultivation hybrid, the cultivation elements naturally have a significant time component. The author has chosen to not break that time component arbitrarily as so many cultivation authors do, and instead writes a story that passes through time at a good pace.
The prose is good, with little exhibition (or at least, I found myself bored by little of it, as I would be if the author had too much lecture-exhibition in their prose), and there is good dramatic tension circling around the character, creating tension and reasons for movements and advancement.
I am enamored of the character of our MC. He is a genuine person, who develops in-planar and inter-planar friendships by actually caring. While he is obviously highly driven to succeed, he's not the stereotypical monofocused fiend of so many litrpg/cultivation novels.
Overall, this is pretty well done. If the author keeps it up, they'll be on Kindle sooner rather than later. 5/5.

I got drawn in within a few moments and suddenly I’m at the end with a familiar being created. Whew, the story pace is incredibly enticing.
Thanks for a part that things keep going despite the odds for Percy. I can identify with them and being at odds with those around.

What I appreciate is that the author makes everything make sense, if there was some big mystery, there usually is some subtle clues littered about the previous chapters to hint the answer. Excellent use of show not tell. Most characters also play a later part in the story so they also feel more real and well developed. Good read

I really like stories where the MC's real body is in his own world but travels to other worlds. It's like short stories within the main story and it doesn't get boring. I love the lone wanderer so far. I feel it's going to be one of the top progression fantasy series. My new favourite. Just disappointed it wasn't longer, I was really enjoying the story when I caught up.

★★★★ 3.5
The style while not horrible feels a bit basic and lacks the gravitas that encourages readers to continue reading past the first few chapters.
Story I don’t think I can properly judge so I’ll be giving it 3.5 stars. Mainly because while there’s some interesting world building mainly with the societal impacts of the cores feeling really artificial and over the top. But the people being born at different core stages is interesting and could be much better done.
Character is the worst with the Mc being incredibly selfish and self centred with him aiming to steal valuable resources for himself and acting as if it’s his right. Main problem is Mc doesn’t try to understand other people perspective for why they don’t give him resources. Overall Mc feels extremely childish and lacking appreciation for other people most of the time.
For the grammar it’s mostly fine with the only problem that I can see is when the author want's to show actions and separates it from the rest of the sentence leaving it to stand alone in all uppercase. For example GULP or SIGH which breaks up the flow of a sentence over Percy sighed or Percy gulped.
Overall this a story with an interesting concept but lack more fleshed out world building and mature characters or if they are mature are seen as vindictive by the Mc. Personally I can’t bear reading this but I would still suggest reading and giving your own feedback. If the author does a rewrite I wish them luck and hope they continue writing despite my mostly negative review.

★★★ 3.0
Technically an "underdog" born as the weakest, but every other chapter is a typical heroic MC.
Outmatched by enemies, plot armor and zero consequences. Grievous self inflicted injuries, plot armor and zero consequences. Murder, plot armor and zero consequences.
Simple writing and storytelling. It has some interesting world building that may capture your attention, but such a shallow story that it's unlikely to keep it.

★★★ 3.0
The story follows Percy who starts the story as an ungifted person who is the grandchild of a family/sect leader and cousin of a superstar on one of many cultivation worlds. Also, later, a supporting character who is a bird (anything more said is a spoiler). In this universe, cultivators on many planets are born with a core that allows for cultivation, dictates one's natural lifespan and grants access to magical abilities based on the nature of the core. Cores take incredible amounts of time and resources to develop. One can be born with a core of varying strength; practically speaking those born with weak cores require inordinate amounts of time to rank-up via natural cultivation or incredible amounts of resources to boost cultivation speed. Universally dominant logic states that those born with low-tier cores are ignored because the time and energy to make them worthwhile as cultivators is better spent on others... Percy may be the exception.
The main character, and supporting characters, make reasonable choices and are not walking through the story as if they live with plot-armor. So far the motivations of the characters seem logical and clear, or when not clear, there is a reason why we don't know. The story setting is well developed and interesting. The system is well-described and meaningful; progression is steady an is scaling properly (which means time-skipping is necessary, because it takes time to cultivate).
Overall, the story is well-written. Grammar is good; definitely does not impair story readability. The story is told from multiple POV, which become tiresome later in the story (esp. after Ch. 500).

says it's got fast paced and frequent powerups, and in 51 chapters i've seen 2 powerups, and neither of them have contributed to make the character even vaguely better than 80% of the people around him, not to mention the long on and on verboseness of some chapters that lead to nothing concrete happening.
