This story is a hilarious mix between sci-fi and xianxia that manages to draw the reader in with it's quirky humor and worldbuilding. I would recommend this story to anyone looking for a great read.

First off, this story is truly great so do try it out, you won't regret it. It has things to offer that no other Xiaixia/Wuxia story on this site, has done before, so do check it out.
The story is kinda a anti cliche and gives out silent jabs at overly used tropes. All the characters aren't losers(except for one but that character is also used as anti-trope). They are all capable and had many life experience, and you would never find any loser here that seems to be really popular for some reason. You won't see some antisocial lone loser going out into the world to become some harem overpowered self insert MC, but a group of people working together for the benefit of each other....or mostly to benefit only themselves.
The characters are all truly unique but let's start with the main cast, there is James, a narcissistic petty prideful asshole, Skay, a crazy psychopathic mad scientist, Jessy a sexually active nympho and Fatty, a fat crazy conspiracy theorist and more but those are the main ones. They have all the potential to be truly great and how they interact with each other would be all kind of interesting. But the problem is that they get sidetracked hard! They seem like they are just there to be there. We just get hint here there of what they are doing and have done and making a impression that they are just mindless robots. They rarely interact with each other and as a result, there is no chemistry whatsoever. This could be explained of James lack of interest of others, other than himself since, the story is being told in his POV but it's rather jarring nonetheless. Put more interaction between the characters in future chapters, because they are so disjointed and some chapters for some of the other character's POV to see what they all think about all this and their compatriots.
For the premise and setting, is my favorite part of his story. They really don't carter to losers and that's my favorite part. All weeaboo anime knowledge are useless and a drive to succe

This is by far one of the best fictions i have ever read. I dislike Xianxia stories because there all ...im a arragant dick . you pissed me off i going to go hide in my basement do some pushups come out and make you my prison bird.
The author did stick to those basics.. yet the story was told in a whole new way that was interesting.. his worldbuild was amazing his characters our amazing.. I would never want to meet his mc. but i did enjoy reading about him. Everything i hate about Xianxia was in this story.. yet i enjoyed this story.
I love castle building and empire building this story had that big time.. i love smart mcs.. this story had that.
I love technology in stories... so many stories fail to use technology. The only thing i did not give 5 stars was for grammar. that is because i dont know how to grade that. when i am so bad at it myself.

As the title states, this is very well done both writing and story wise.
There were few times were the info/world building about how this array works and what not were boring, but you can just skip that stuff so.... And also there was not too much of it.
I liked how the MC stuck to his premise. He is who he is from page one to the final page and doesn't need to back down from being him. I especially like how he was never duped by some lame sob story.
It was a pleasure to read, and while it may not be the best book ever, it is something I would consider re-reading, which in my book, makes a solid good book.

Writing this review after reading chapter 5. I like the story concept. Wuxia/Xianxia anything excites me, though there is a pretty major flaw that makes it difficult to continue reading.
Besides the occasional badly structured sentence, it can all pretty much be boiled down to the phrase "Show, don't tell."
For example, those "Little did X know" moments where you tell us something that would be better off being revealed at a later point. Preferably when the MC learns of such. I feel that it only serves to destroy any tension that you manage to build. Perhaps you were using it because you found it difficult to insert such information into the story in a natural manner, but I assure you that it will help the story's quality if you do.
For reference, I'll refer to Royal Road's Spectral Regalia. I personally love this story, but the author frequently does this for the first 30 or so chapters. Having the uncertainty of the MC's fate be unsubtlely destroyed by the author's inadvertent assurance that he will make it out alive and prosper is quite dissatisfying.
Really, it's everywhere. *SPOILERS* You remember the golden weed bug scene, right? Kept flying into his mouth, mmkay? It's very clear that you try to play it up for laughs, but the way you tell it makes it feel very much glossed over. At least for the first few moments of his peril, take us through it step by step, like you had right before that point. Let us feel the uncomfortable wind, the nipple rubbing, and the swallowing of the hairy wart bug the moment he tries to voice his disapproval.
Last but not least, the characters. Most importantly, the MC. Please stop telling us just how much of a pokerface our stony rascalion MC is in unfamiliar situations. It isn't weird at all for a person to put on a face that contradicts their true personality. It's completely okay to let us know his facial expressions (as they happen), but I ask that you would show us his stoic rascalion personality rather than telling us about i

It has a few glaring plotholes, which I pointed out in the comments, as well as some unnoticeable plotholes, that still are plotholes.
The style is about average, not that bad
The characters do seem alive, but their personality some times doesn't match...
And I don't mean about the girl that swears a lot,
I'm talking about the clan leader.
But besides that, ignorance is a bliss so I will leave unsaid the plotholes, and if you want to see them, read my comments on chapter 2, and chapter 5
Last but not least, the author also forgot to put the warning tag: profanity
Honestly they ideas are kinda new and refreshing, so if you ignore some parts you will most probably be fine.

its a fun story but the sex and female characters are so badly written you either have to skip whole sections entirely or drop it. unless thats your thing. then its probably a great story to you and ignore my review.
Personally sex in litRPG feels like someone pouring oil in your breakfast cereal; its a gross mess. the settings are fun and slightly interesting and its very wild, ridiculous and outlandish in a good way but the female characters and sex scenes are so unbearably bad. i couldnt read the them, theyre so cringe, its like torture. i dropped it at the first sex scene but came back as reading about the tech developments was too tepting, but it gets worse. the female MC, who seems to be nothing but a pair of walking t*ts main power is...
sex -_- really?
the MC is also abit of a knuckle-dragger, with no critical thinking, planning or decision making skills concerning anything north of his waistline. the only truly interesting character is the scientist who seems to be spear-heading all the developments.
honestly if the Dr. was the MC & all the sex was removed this would be a really fun story. but once again, if your into smut, ignore my review

The story starts off really good and wraps you in and slowly leaks in the craxk-fic nature. Also te characters went from interesting to stagnat, and the comedy is juvenile. The one thing that saves it a little is hoping thecharacters will develop as they interact more but i doubt it
