Great story so far. Lots of action scenes. Looking forward to see what will happen between both the lead characters.

There are many things I like about your story.
I like how you not simply explain the backstory of the sharacters in a sitting. In this story, we are forced to search bit to bit for the different clues of the charactes' past. Even now, I'm curious about what exactly happened to Aiden.
I like how you try making your characters more "alive". And though in some scenes I feel they are a bit gereric, in a whole, I can feel their "lives".
Grammar wise, though not perfect, neither it's bad. Yes, there are some mistakes, but for a Non-native speaker, it's many times better than many others stories here.
About the style, in the beginning I felt it was a bit "heavy". But I can feel the effort you make to improve with every chapter. It's possible to feel how much you have improved when you compare the first chapter with the last.
Overall, this story deserves a 4.5, but because I have expectations for how you will develop the story, I'm going to give you a 5.

Great story bro as i have read many xianxias it has become almost boring for me with the usual generic op Mc. And I came across this one, well it's a little bit cliche but there is no room for you to feel it's boring.
Good story so far and will look forward to it.

Well, this is a good story a it's easy to gauge that the author is expending a considerably amount of effort on it.
Style
The style isn't nothing out of the box, but is easy to follow. However the chapters are too short, feels like bottle of beer that you only can drink a sip of it.
Story & Character
Now, these must be evaluated together here.
First, the world background is the standard of wuxia novels with cultivation rankings, clans, arrogant young masters and elders. Even the concept of spirits isn't new a you can found it in a few novels.
Second, the MC is the cliché fallen genius, but here it's because he had been betrayed by his family, which adds angst and I like it. Well, here is the thing, I don't know if the author has the intent of a NON OP MC (just don't make wimpy and whiny character). I feels sometimes the MC is downgraded 'cause the once in a century genius has the awareness of a blind bull (just see what is right in front of him) and severe lacks perception of enemies, enviroment and so on. Now, on my personal taste, I like an OP MC, but above it the TRUE badass MC is whose brains surpassed his own powers in terms of importance (Lelouch of Code Geass for example.).
Third, despite the numbers of chapters, the pace is slow and I feel if you jump a dozen chapters you still have a grip of the MC goals and goals, especially the primary one (1-50ish it din't change), so you remember the betrayed and conflict thing, I feel would be a long road before it's settled in a satisfactory way.
I'll not check grammar 'cause I'm not a native speaker.
NOW, for me the greatest part of this story is the author. It's easy to see that he/she is an engaged writer who is doing his/her best to attract readers, put out a good amount of content with enthusiasm. It's people like this that make this platform still worthy.
Conclusion, I recommend. It's a story above RRL standards and with only prospects of improvement in the foreseeable future.

Standard young master betrayed and a few of his love interests(although no harem as of change 72).Story progress is smooth and well thought out although there are a few minor hiccups.My greatest gripe would be the choice of words (Wtf who the hell uses ubicate as a word choice these days) and the frequently occurring grammatical mistakes which also occur irregularly i.e some paras would be fine with little to no errors and then there would be omission or wrong words on a few which also use the same vocabulary and sentence structure(How do you write like that? Is it MTL or what?).Recommended but needs work.

it feels monotone, it didnt provoke any emotions out of me, as in it didnt interact with me at all. However I enjoyed reading it.
Keep the good work author. Survive and evolve.

This author used the good ol theme of the fallen genius estranged from his family, but with a near flawless execution and good fight scenes! The pace can be slow at times but it is still a good read with likeable characters and good grammar. Keep up the good work!

While not up there with the high rankers, it is still a decent read. Normally i skip over things with bad grammar, but i do read a few chapters to see if the author's ideas can save the novel as a whole. You're a fairly talented author if you can manage to take a cliched setting and make people want to read what you're writing. Better yet, even with the bad grammar it doesn't affect the story that much at all. If you can manage to improve grammar and avoid making the story too boring, then you will rise up in popularity for sure. Avoid making them too op though, unless you know what you're doing, or else we lose the tension in fights. I haven't really said anything in review but ill make it short: good worldbuilding, characters have some depth and the background plot is set up nicely.
Review as of ch. 55

Disclaimer: Disregard the story and character score, I haven't read far enough to give it a proper score. What I've seen seems promising though.
I find it absolutely baffling anyone could go through those 4 first chapters and give this story a grammar score over 2 stars.
The story is riddled with incorrect tenses, weird sentence structuring and baffling word choices. I'm inclined to believe the author wrote in their native language and then machine translated it, before posting it on the site. Interestingly enough I think I only stumbled upon one spelling mistake. Usually they go hand in hand.
It's incredibly hard to enjoy a story when you use most of your time deciphering the sentences, instead of reading it. Bafflingly you'll occasionally stumble upon sentences where the author, in a moment of clarity, writes with perfect tense usage and sentence structure. A few sentences later it all goes back to being a jumbled mess.
All in all, this could be the greatest story in the world, but until the problems highlighted above is solved, I wont be reading it.
