The story is really nice so far. Not a masterpiece, but incredibly 'fun' which I consider is the most important selling point of any story. So it's great. Which is why I want to give some advice, something I consider important in these types of stories.
My advice is to not continue to introduce more women into the story. You've already got many at this stage, and it'd be much nicer to see the current women develop and grow alongside the MC. I'm sick of seeing stories where the women are 'possessed' and then discarded later.
Leaving them, getting rid of them, finding others and forgetting about them, are all points of bad writing (eastern xianxia stories are filled with this type of bad writing, because they didn't plan/consider the female characters and so discard them instead of continuing to put effort into them).
Instead continue to weave them into the storyline and have them find their own fortunes (and him help them), working towards the pinnacle alongside the MC. After all, if only one person has the capability to reach the apex - why cultivate?

I usually don't write reviews, but this fiction deserve one.
As you progress in this beautiful work, you can really feel the time and effort put into it. Mostly say this because of the good explanations the author provides. But as a reader, I also want to bring some shortcomings to light... so here are a couple of them...
I would love to see more side stories (perspectives) from different characters. Would bring more life to the Mc's family, if not to the whole story.
Because the mc mix his old life knowledge with his new one, the difference between them can get a tiny bit confusing. Therefore making/releasing some sort of glossary would help. Both the author and his readers.
I could argue against every tiny spelling errors, but we are all human, and things like that can be fixed in the long run. But still, the fact remains that this fiction is one of the better ones! Keep up the good work!

I am writing this as of Chapter 51, eapecially as in regards to the poll on said chapter.
Asking me to choose between plot or character is akin to asking me to choose blinking or breathing. The characters drive the plot, and the plot matures the characters. You can't choose one in favor over the other. The scores I gave you for Story and Characters are a little unjustified to be honest; because individually your characters are fairly well fleshed out, and the plot is suitably interesting. Its just that though, they only work individually; it feels like you have your characters leashed, dragging them towards where you want the plot to go like a disobedient puppy.
Each character should have their own individuality, some quirks, strengths, weaknesses, habits, mood, etc. They are what drive the story, and in turn the story develops the character. You don't have to worry about explaining to us the characters every quirk right away, let the story do so. You do however have to understand the character yourself, so you can see where (s)he wants to go.
An example would be two men meeting with a dying old senior at his deathbed. One of the men is arrogant and haughty, sees the senior as nothing more than a old man who failed to so anything of import, and gains nothing. The other is more mild mannered and patiently listens to whatever the kind senior would have to say, whether that be his lamentations, life story, last wishes, or anything really. The senior would look more favourably on the mild mannered man and maybe guide him a little, or even give him a consummate technique. While even if the old man tried to guide the arrogant man, he probably wouldn't even deign to listen.
Every character has their strengths, however. For another example lets put those same two men into a sect where competition is the only way up and factions are the way to power. The arrogant one would probably gain quite a following with his air of grandeur about him. He might even create a major factio

Story is pretty decent, characters are okay, no problem with grammar.
There is only one flaw with the story - 80% of text are cultivation mumbo-jumbo gibberish. Author makes the shit up as he goes. Skip it, and story becomes readable.

Now I'm going to level with you, I hate arrogant MC. I hate them so much that I pretty much give up any story that has one, so this review is kinda biased, though to be honest, I couldn't care less, if you don't find what I said true, skip it or dislike, I don't care.
Now firstly, the MC is a real dick, he is also very sexist. Normally I don't care about harem, in fact I like them, but this guy pretty much forces two completely unrelated girls to be his maids. This is borderline rape, I don't care what you say, it is rape in my mind. One might say he hasn't done anything to them yet or they let him or whatever, but I just can't shake off the fact that I'm reading about a rapist in my mind. Honestly to me, a mass murderer is much better than a rapist.
Secondly, as stated by another reader down below, the interactions between your characters are close to nonexistent. I feel like there could've been a very interesting subplot or at least some relationship developing between MC and his mother, but nope! Nothing, just dry conversation about cultivation all day, everyday. In other words, they don't feel real, sure, humans might be greedy by nature, but we're not that despicable.
Thirdly, I read this story 'till chapter 21 or 22, and I always feel like something is missing, I only recently realised what it was and that's your lack of description. Seriously, I don't need a detailed one, I just need a simple description of how MC looks like. The only thing I know about his appearance after reading 20 chaps is his black hair. And don't even get me fucking started on that lack of expression for characters. I feel like they have no soul, try putting more about how they react to stuff, I've read over 20 chaps and the only time I see anyone reacting to anything is when MC is forcing two innocent girls to be his sex-slave.
Lastly, stop with the filter! I feel like I'm readimg 'Emperor Domination' again. Too much heaven-defying beauties, a dozens chapters of filter and arrogant lit

I dont mind a cliche xianxia world and i dont mind all the girls wanting to fuck the main character. What bothers me is that there doesnt seem to be any characters that are not beautiful women that want to fuck the main character. I read until chapter 51 and all that has happened is that the main character has been training like a machine, except when he has been collecting members into his harem.

This fiction had a lot of potential and interesting prologue, but some things have lowered my opinion about it. I have read it up to date, so prologue and 90 chapters. This "review" has some spoilers so read at your own risk.
Setting of the story is really interesting, even though many things may seem to be too much inspired by some of the chinese novels, it's still enjoyable. I don't have any problem with harem, incest or many other things, but lusting over 8 year old kid seems a bit off to me.
To be honest, all the sped-up maturing seems forced, and I felt like it was added to the story only for the fight of the siblings so they would not fight as kids for the throne as it would seem ridiculous, and it still was. All the emotions of the characters seem weird, I can't feel any sympathy or hate towards them.
Next big thing was for me how the MC acts and how his strength progresses over couple years. He sacrifices his life and cultivation to save his world, yet it doesn't make sense from his character, he slaughtered many sects and faimilies for manuscripts and bloodlines.
I felt that he did it to only gain strength, he created sect, but only because of his master, author said that he feels something for Perpetual Emperors and the spirit of his chaosworld, he tried to show it, but it was lacking, the only good scene which shows his feelings was when after he played on an instrument he felt nostalgic about his mortal family, but that's it. MC was supposed to be horny dog that follows his desires and had many one-night stands, but it feels like he feels no attraction towards females, the only time he showed something was when the girl from the girl sect took him to his bedroom, but it ended with her being reincarnated Chaos Sovereign so nothing... He feels like a puppet with a bit of a child, he can feel nostalgic, when he comes back to his sect, the first thing he feels is anger, because the only disciples that survived weren't the ones he wanted, stupid.
MC was overp
