  So my opinion toward this story is kinda biased since it was one of my first stories that I read when I came to RR and I left a poorly written review that I decided to now correct.
  If you've ever read a cultivation novel this is not that not, even remotely so (obviously doesn't even have 500 chapters). It's kinda slice of life-ish, there is some suspense but it also feels like the MCs are having a vacation (hie hie hie).
  The whole story is fun, not much moral dilemas about killing and so on, the fight are intense and worldbuilding is interesting and almost more importantly different than what you usually see.
  I gotta say this is one of the most romance orientated novels I read on this site and possibly anywhere else (I don't read many). And yes the 18+ scenes are aplenty.

  In all my years of reading different novels there was always something lacking or there was too much of it, and there are instances that will make me drop that novel.
  But this novel to me has everything I need, not slow niether quick paced, just there in the middle.
  If you're looking for OPness/comedy/romance, and all that cool shit that you want but never get then this is for you......*whisper* and Pervert-sans are welcome too xD

  for anyone that didn't listen to my this is another what you're abou to read ia absolute shit in eveyway that's possible so youself a favor and do something more productive with you're time.
  first of all don't expect some serieus review i'm just going to say wat i thought about the story to show my support as small as it may be. now first of all this story when i first started reading it i tought it was gonna be another one of those OP stoty's were th MC's were just going to 1 shot everything. and although i wasn't far from the truth unexpectedly unlike many other story's that have that Op element in this story i actually didn't mind it, cause fighting wasn't the really a big part of the story (with that i mean that although there was quite alot of fighting in this story this wasn't a story that is ABOUT fighting (i think)). the next the characters i'm not a expert and this is purely oppinionated but i liked them they weren't shallow like many characters in many story and averyone that was of some importance to the story actually felt "unique" and not like a villain/support character/ template like they do in most story's (although i'm not saying there are none of those in this story (just to make it clear with support character i mean every character that isn't a "villain" character)). there's much more i think about the story but i just can't quite put my reason for liking this story in to words so i'll just leav it at this.

  I tend to give all five to balance the bad ones. It's not like it matters too much with so many ratings, but meh. I'd like to support the author. Otherwise, I'd say:
  Style: 4.5; Story: 5; Grammar: 4; Character 5;
  -------------------------
  The story starts out boringly. Not to me, but I'm sure that many of you would find it boring.
  The style is also worse at the start, but it gets much better later on, in the latest chapter (above 65-70) and it keeps improving.
  If you don't like OP Main Characters, then this isn't a novel for you. But if you like sentimentalism and monologs, you'll get by. I'm not saying that it is filled with it. Just at the right times and moments. The prolog is more like a self-introduction, with the author's ideals, which I liked. Afterward, the story seems like a generic XianXia at first sight. But boy, you are wrong. After the 54th chapter, (a nice plot twist) this changed a lot.
  The novel is full of Romance, which is very sweet. If you don't like Romance, this again might not be for you. Why did I still give such high scores?
  I like Romance, OP MC, I like the characters, and I like how this whole story unfolds. This is kind of like a life story, which is filled with adventure, love and (sex in the .5 chapters. Wink)
  Everyone has their motivation and goal. The characters aren't two dimensional. There were tons of new things in the story, which I haven't seen before (mostly in the other half of the novel). Unlike in many XianXia or even other kind of novels, the main characters have a dream, which they work towards. There are a few tiny side story lines (which are good).
  You will probably lack interaction in the first half, but you will be compensated for it in the other half. In my opinion, the side characters are terribly good. Either way, if you are looking for a long novel, with love and adventure as the main focus, then this is definitely a good one.
  Even though the characters are over powered, they still have their own problems. It might s

  Just to clarify what i mean by the title: I imagine for a lot of people their impression of this novel will heavily depend on how much they like/hate the following things:
  - (very) op main characters
  - main characters are essentially the same person (will get to that)
  - a lot of people get brutally "murdered" (fun times)
  - the world changes heavily with every new realm they experience
  - this novel escalates really quickly (reeeeeeaalllly realllly)
  - the 18+ scenes are very intense
  I would have given this story a straight 4.5 or 5/5 stars if it would be from just the pure fun i had with it, however it is not really without fault, so i have to restrain my fanboy behaviour somewhat.
  Characters:
  TL;DR: Characters are straightforward without being boring. Character developement is somewhat secondary, but is not strictly necessary. Most side characters change often, but the more permanent ones often great. Main characters are op af and have a great relationship.
  The characters in this novel are somewhat hard to describe, without giving a false impression so please read this entire section. Most of them are, while not being 100% tropes, very straight forward. They do not have that much mystery to them and act on a few very obvious principles. This does not mean, that they do not act like real people, but rather that most act a bit predictable.
  This however is entirely (or seems to me) intentional, as there are a lot of them and they frequently change. It also seems to be in line with how this universe is. By this i mean, that this universe is survival of the fittest, which would naturally result in more straightforward characters driven by a select set of motivations.
  Now that is not to say that there is no character developement, although it seems fair to say that there is not that much of it happening either. Which brings us to the main and some of the more permanent side characters.
  The main characters (!mild spoiler for first few chapters!) share a mind for all intents

  SPOILER WARNING
  The novel had a but of a rough start in terms of grammar and repetitive storytelling; for example the making of a friend or group of friends on every level then leaving them behind, but it was kind of rectified in them not being abandoned and reuniting on a single level, and the universe merger so they weren't separated again. I kind of hated how Aurora and Kane's romance was skilled over it was like he was adopted one paragraph and suddenly they are soul bonded. I also had some pet peeves about Hiro's monologues and how they were all, "what is the meaning of life", or "what is time", and then Alice had a paragraph about "stop being melancholic", or something and then it went right back into the story, so it never felt like the monologues mattered or for into the story at all. There was also my biggest gripe about the story, which probably didn't bother anyone else, in all of the 18+ chapters it said a bolt of electricity so many times, sometimes upwards of three times each chapter early in, and around once in the later chapters. It bugged me so much I cringed whenever I saw it and it completely took me out of the story. But when all is said and done the author had improved in their writing style as time went on a bad most of the little elements that bothered me were addressed, and looking back I had an enjoyable time reading.

  the charecters are so OP they never have to struggle with anything at all. and rather bland for a rather binge read

  I like it. I really want to like it. But writing (and reading) first-person is hard. I struggled a little to get through the first six chapters and I'm taking a break to write this review.
  Style: good pacing & very engaging, casual dialogue. Not a lot of monologues. World building primarily happens through character thought and scene-setting. Unfortunately - it's very flat so far. Not a lot of variation, especially between the POV switches, which makes it difficult to connect with Hiro & Alice.
  Story: my favorite part: interesting world-building! I like this framework that is easy to understand and well described. Standard Xianxia stuff of growth being a driving force and plot device to move forward. Time skips over training scenes happened a few times but didn't cause me to disconnect from the plot or the characters.
  Grammar: Awkward uses of contractions in speech (everyone talks the same - see character below). Some parts need more polish (I.e., ending a sentence with a contraction: "I think that I'd." Vs. "I think that I would"). Several typos and some misuse of words (they're vs. their vs. there) also need some cleaning. I've read worse on RR, but this is the first story I liked enough to comment on despite some minor flaws. I look forward to reading the later chapters.
  Character: The story will be significantly improved if the author can vary the speech patterns and diction of internal monologue between characters. Perhaps this evolves later on (as per author's note) - i plan to keep reading and will update this review when I get a chance. One part that I suggest changing below will greatly help character continuity (spoiler below for a scene in chapter 5). I see your author notes and I look forward to reading your work as your style continues to evolve.
  when Wu Shan personally attempts to apprehend the two protagonists and fails, it really breaks the story continuity/doesn't make sense from his ability to control the whole planet & be insightful enough to know

  Eh. If you've NEVER read a Xiangxia Novel, or at the most, read only one or two, then I can recommend this for you.
  I'll be upfront and say I gave up on Chapter  and I really don't know of it picks up after it.
  It has the typical problems of Xiangxia novels. The MCs have no apparent goal other than something vague like "Be the strongest". Enemy clans are used only as a stepping stone. Psychotic mental problems with the MC and their very lax morality (The MC wanted Earth's laws to protect women and children, but he wanted to kill anyone that bothered him). And, "lol humans/elves/beastmen are so dumb, fighting against each other! We're so much better because we're dragons! Oh look! Some plebian guard from X clan. Let's go kill him!"
  The MC also feels quite juvenile. Like screaming "WOW YOUR TITS ARE SO BIG!" to his girlfriend, despite being a reincarnated person AND having inherited "knowledge", not just from his base race as a dragon, but this magic Crystal a city has which conveniently explains the power houses in said city. Granted, knowledge is not wisdom, but I can't identify/relate to an MC like that.
  Romance is also "Eh." The two MC's are apparently soulmates and they click, and think so much like each other that they don't bicker and basically feel like they're just one and the same person. Their relationship has no depth. Yes, I know I'm basing this on VERY early chapters, but the way they act makes it like they've know each other for a while when it's the opposite.
  Worl building is basically non existent. The MCs don't stay anywhere for too long so there's no real point. Again, at least at the first four chapters.
  Also, the author makes excuse that "if you don't understand something, don't worry! It'll be explained soon."
  I mean, like why don't you explain it now when it's relevant???

  The premise and title sounded promising, but the execution leaves so much to be desired. Honestly, I've barely managed to read past the start of chapter two because of the poor quality of the writing. The story may be really interesting and engaging, but this is the third time I've tried to read this novel and given up because of it's poor execution.
  From the start, before the characters are properly introduced, the author dives straight into info dumps. It was like six paragraphs into the first chapter that the story goes into a complete tangent describing the planes of existence. Info dumps are a red flag in any story, but to drop your reader straight into them in the first chapter is particularly brutal. It's far better to tell the story of the characters and let the reader discover and experience the world as they do.
  The syntax and phrasing are poorly done and desperately need to be edited. There are way too many examples of this to be excused. I needed to re-read every other sentence to make sense of what was written. There was so many instances where odd phrasing just didn't parse on the first read. It reads as though English isn't the author's first language, which would be OK, if they had a native speaker do at least basic editing to pick up on these issues.
  To the author. The intro lead me to believe the story would be interesting and the reviews point to that being true. But I cannot recommended this story to other readers in its current state. Please, please have someone do some editing on this story.
