  I really enjoy the story. I both like and dislike the MC, but I mainly like him. Looking somewhat at his perspective and from what we know so far about the MC - there are some things missing that help to give more perspective for the readers about the why's of Aaron.
  From a blunt point of view, Aaron seemingly defines situations in a white or black case, but then something happens to shift that point of view. Some have said that his morals are whimsical, which there does seem to be a little bit of this. Although, trying to imagine Aaron's life and what he has gone through has lead him to who he is. I think we will learn more about Aaron's past as the story progresses, and if so, then I also think that will shed some more light on this.
  MC has said to one of his followers, "You saw how they behaved. For the last time, the clan rules are what they are for good reasons. They might not be the most merciful, the most beautiful, the most fulfilling rules to follow, but they are the best I can make. I'm even open to changing them if you can prove them wrong."
  For the characters alongside the MC, one has already had most of her story given, which is definitely not a "cardboard" character. But the characters are more of in a 'student' phase in my opinion, and I feel like they will get to the point of being much more. Maybe this could be categorized as a slow-burn as their lives are helped by the MC.
  ______
  TL;DR;
  MC is OLD, been through who knows how many situations during this time, and has been defined through all of that time. More to be learned about MC. Learning phases; MC is OP gradually gaining power; Morals possibly whimsical - but I think there's more that will define this in future.

  The premise and ranking systems are great, but the MC takes away from it. The concept of a "all knowing" entity is interesting, but he keeps being rescued by plot armor rather than skill or good decisions. Overall the update frequency and action make it enjoyable, but I wouldn't say it's great just because of the characterization of the MC and the god awfully stupid decisions he makes which plot armor keeps trying to explain.
  The author has too much delay between power levels and wants the action to be non stop so he introduces divine energy and reduces the timeline. Next the author introduces a "conspiracy" concept designed to drive events at the MC regardless of what he does which invalidates the whole purpose of summoning heros.
  I rate it 5 stars to help offset some trolls, but the story needs a lot of work. All that being said it is clear the author is taking feedback and attempting to fix the more glaring issues while moving forward with the story. Additionally the update frequency is amazing, however the super quick updates Are causing the quality to suffer.

  This story is amazing, I would give a 5 star if not for the simple grammar issues. I'm no English professor, but it does sometimes mess with my immersion. With that said, an amazing story 100% would reread and also recommend to others. Do not give a low rating without actually reading the story, or because it is not your cup of tea.

  ★★★★ 4.0

  The fiction follows the classic plotline of an overpowered character losing strentgh and finding themselves in a new area and getting that power back. Worth at least reading the first chapter and the content will last you at least a couple weeks with dedicated reading. However the author gives no real ending before abandoning the book even though it has a lot of potential. Granted it is harder to write good content when the character acheives a certain degree of strentgh as we simply cannot grasp that level of existence. but it was still dissapointing to learn that the author dropped th fiction before at least giving a rudementary ending.

  Enjoyable easy reading. The MC's morals are typical hypocritical wuxia can be grating for some ('how dare you oppress me!' followed immediately by the MC oppressing others) but that's a trope in itself by now.
  Definitely worth a read for anyone who secretly enjoys overpowered self-insert webnovels.
  Only thing I would change is have some of the female characters act more like the male ones and not immediately submitting to the patriarch - it's just a little bit 'yes daddy' at times.

  ★★★★ 3.5

  Let's be honest cultivation novels are complete shite, You'll be lucky if the MC isn't the villain in most cases.  They honestly make me worry about Chinese authors, like 'who hurt you?'
  But this is pretty good, just a solid story, loosely using some cultivation tropes I guess.
  Honestly, the only negative is that every single sentence of every single paragraph wraps each word around the MC's member, and slowly fellates him to completion.

  ★★★ 3.0

  This novel blends the three tropes of a litrpg, wuxia cultivation norms with a restart fantasy together and generally ticks all the boxes in that category. The MC is hideously overpowered from the get go and has already started to build a rather unapologetic harem around him, so if that's what you want then you're in luck.
  The characters are fairly one-dimensional (especially the MC, who is basically a total sociopath). The magic/skill system is extremely vague and riddled with handwave spells that seem made up for the convienence of the plot but the story is paced fairly well and as a result progresses along at a fair clip.
  At the end of the day, it seems like the author is mostly making things up as they go along and taking us all along for the ride. It's not a bad time, but the rate of escalation is rather exhausting and probably too fast to match the long-term plans they might have.

  Note: This is a review written at the end of the first book (Patreon chapter 33 incl. Epilogue). So expect some spoilers. Please note that this review references content of Patreon chapters (above No. 19) which might differ from the Royal Road version. The author mentioned that he plans to revise the conversation in my last example.
  Immortal Conqueror has a solid start but suffers later on from typical problems of the Wuxia genre. This mainly shows in an overly strong focus on the protagonist and dull side characters. Hence, this critique (rant) is largely about the main character.
  The story starts going downhill when the protagonist takes on more responsibilities in his travel group and dominates future decision making. The following chapters unfold in a way that seems only to revolve around the MC and are laid out so that his views are confirmed without any meaningful verbal opposition.
  Beginning with the act of kicking out the only antagonistic and male travel companion (harem hurray /s) and the subjugation of the rest of the female cast. 2/3 of the remaining party members are then taught the typical Wuxia spiel. Starting with having to call him patriarch and demanding absolute obedience from them. At this point, discussions between characters will get boring because the protagonist's ego and beliefs are the basis for everything right and good. Other people are only there to confirm his actions and opinions.
  The protagonist himself seems to be quite unreflected for an ancient being that should have some degree of wisdom. He has mainly three bad character traits next to his slightly genocidal tendencies.
  Firstly, his black and white world view.
  This manifests in Darwinistic explanations and the common Wuxia statements like "You're either for me or die.".
  Secondly, the wishy-washy moral compass that he talks about a lot.
  For example, he kills whoever offends/attacks him but has various exceptions to that rule. These exceptions come up throughout the story, and he l

  Another author that seems to think that their MC simply must be an overbearing sociopath with no subtlety and cardboard side characters. This is the sort of asshole that really needed someone to beat him down in the first few chapters so he could be less arrogant and not try to turn everyone around him into a mindless soldier.
