Description

Synopsis of my story, A young boy faces the end of his life, born a genius, gifted with an incredible memory and a passion for knowledge. As he takes his last breathe his life flashed before his eyes , from an early age he had been like a sponge soaking in all the knowledge around him, science, history, culture, literature, and even military strategy he absorbed it all. But as his life was coming to an end he scorned all his knowledge, what was the point of knowing everything when you weren’t even able to protect yourself or the ones you loved. As the boy closed his eyes for one final time,he laughed at how blinded he had been about the world and people and thought that if there was indeed a next life he would obtain power, power to protect himself and his loved one. And so this marked the end of his life, but for some, the end is only the beginning. My first story so it won't be too great so bare with me as I try to get better.

Your description of places, people and clothes is quite good... if you say you are chinese and lived there i would believe you =P, the story is clearly a Xianxia with chinese as it base.
I had my doubts regarding if reading this or not but now im really happy that i read it.
Your characters have a lot of life compared to others stories i have read, im eager to read more of your story and im sure that if you want to you can publish it

A good story that left me wanting for more.
It's at the same time a stroy wich take from other stories but the author mix them quite well, for exemple the pendant given to the mc wich absorb his essence to survive leaving him 'talentless' but then after his trip to hell it awaken to teach him remind me of Doupo Cangqiong.
Also the harem part is quite good 'in my opinion' since we can see that the mc is not a dense one and i'm also glad to not see a "love at first sight" future waifu even if i would like to learn more about them (maybe some pov change ?) since they seems to be a bit left out of the story and just follow the mc around.
Character developement is the only thing that i didn't give max score since i think there is room for improvement and it would help the story to get even better.
anyway keep writing, this story has potential to get in the top really fast once more people know about it.
sorry for grammar english is not my birth language

Good Story, quick updates, good grammar, not much else necessary. The only thing disappointing is readers who don’t read.
I have seen reviews that exclaim that a power was forgotten when in fact it was explained why that power was no longer available.
SPOILER I have seen complaints that the MC used traps for a forest with 6-7th level beasts when he is at 3 level, as well as complaints about him losing his powers AFTER COMING BACK TO LIFE. I mean really now, he’s not some suicidal idiot, why the hell wouldn’t he want to avoid going back to the land of the dead when he just royally pissed off its royalty? Also the thing about being as strong as a 6th without being a 6th level himself was because unlike everyone else, he was raising his physical strength, and not his cultivation which is then used to reinforce a bodies strength, which is what everyone else did, and there were others that were upset by him only reaching the 6th level after 6 months of coming back to life when it would take a normal person like 50 years! If you want a superman clone might as well go read superman.
NON-SPOILER
These reviews are not for opinions, but for quality. I’ll admit that I don’t know what the style section is about, but for the story section it’s not about if you like the story, but if it is consistent with the world in the story. Grammar is obvious, and for character it is about whether the MC is believable or not. Otherwise, reviews are just a popularity poll and has nothing to do with the story’s quality.
So summar is:
Dragon’s Soul = good
People’s reading ability = poor
Kuro Out!

I tok my time 2 make this account just 2 write this:
many ppl may say that this is all random, and that this ln dose not have what it takes 2 be an ln, and they r some what right..... BUT..... this ln is more of a movie script, and ppl love movies... it might not be very detaild, but it has its own charm, just like any other movie....
some like 2 whrite looooong detailed lns, and they have their charm 2, but reading this ln, u can take a break from the other stories and just enjoy the quick action just like u do when u sit down and watch some tv...
i read the last post, and felt the need 2 make this so that u will know that many of us reading enjoy this because its a break form those lns with the long descriptions and we like it..... some may hate it, but not every body in the world is gona like everything, and those who take the time 2 write shit to the whriter r just kids that might have had a shity day and wanted 2 vent that out on some one.... or they just like 2 drag other ppl down 2 their lvl...
Either way i like this ln, and i do hope u keep going with this..... PS. u may not take a long break..... ^^

Im going to give a strict non-bias opinion.
Your story has a unique plot, with interesting characters, that though your story isnt amazing or anything, its still pretty good, Ive read many stories that though good when they get to this amount of chapters are just too boring too read. Your story still makes me wait for the next chapter. You have really good ideas for your story that, although I cant say they are unexpected, they are interesting. (Also, this last bit is just a personal bias opinion, but I absolutely dread harem fictions, I just think there a dumb, unrealistic dream, that has no chance of happening without being forced, but surprisingly you made Zhangs harem, though obviously love each other, also Like a big group of friends that dont take each other seriously, Which Feels Natural! Your Harem actually feels natural, I have to give you a lot of points for that.)
Now to bad things, The story jumps from different speeds a lot. It first goes too fast for a bit, then goes to slow, sometimes feeling like its stagnate, then it rushes again. Your story really does need a consistent pace. Also, It goes from an awesome arc, to a boring arc, back to an awesome arc, same thing as last one, needs consistency, cause any sense of urgency you get seems like its doused with cold water as soon as its done, it ends to quickly. And Lastly, your story gets wishy washy some times, usually concerning people, like the princes, no way in hell would a simple apology fix everything, also Zhangs parents and Lings aswell, just cant all of a sudden leave, especially in their position, its like the President moving to Iraq cause he felt like it, its unrealistic.
This is my opinion on your story. Please notice now so I dont accidently depress you, The bad things mostly consists of organizing and pacing (the wishy washiness too). While the good things are the plot and characters and how everything fleshes out. All your story really needs is some good tweaking, and rearranging, no chan

The story is fine and there's nothing really wrong..but IMO this story is much too 'guided' , he's on a one way track and his future is planned out too soon. There's no real mystery or expectations because we already know that he has insider help. Not too fun.

Style: I suppose you could say that I just flat out hate the style most wuxia/xianxia novels are done in. This has some semblance of that style, so I suppose that's a good thing for you, but I utterly despise it. The flow is awful. However, it isn't the worst. It gets hard to understand and hurts my eyes to read, but I've definitely seen worse.
Story: Pretty interesting. Chock full of clichés, but as a fan of Rakudai, I can't really say that clichés ruin a story. I like some of the concepts introduced, but it goes by so quickly I get whiplash.ew
Grammar: AAAAAAARGH! The poor grammar makes this agonizing to read. I forced myself through 10 chapters so that I could give a more accurate review, but wow. I can point out multiple dozen grammatical errors in every single chapter. Frankly, 1.5 stars is generous. I'm an extremely cynical grammar reviewer, so take the vitriolic review with a grain of salt.
Character: Nobody is really well described. His mother is his mother, his betrothed is his friend, his pendant has some ancient spirit in it, there are sinners that want out. Everything is skin-deep, and on top of that, you really need to work on one thing - *the world doesn't revolve around Zhang.* Math God Plane is what I love to reference here, as it's an incredible parody of the entire world of xianxia. The protagonist is Protagonist, and he does stuff because "I'm Protagonist!" Stuff like that.
Overall: Mediocre at best. Has a ton of potential, but unrealized potential is just that.
