Martial peak Review - Review4reader




Alright, so i will review this novel according to [+] positive and [-] negative points for more convince. 

[+] I like this novel, against my better judgement. I like it is an easy read and it flows nicely. There are many entertaining fights and the adventure and world building is continuous. There are very few dull moments because things progress swiftly. Cultivation is simple and does not hinder the story. There is a little harem going on here, but it is done pretty well. The romance angle is strong enough, so that it becomes a major motivation for the MC actions. It is not only about cultivation, only 96%.

[-] The story has some obvious shortcomings. The entertainment values and easy life for the MC are more important than real struggles and suspense. This is partially because the MC, Yang Kai, has an impressively overpowering cultivation item, like a super power. The MC has to struggle more in the earliest arcs, but soon he becomes very powerful and confident. It is almost like he knows he has ridiculous level of plot armor and what ever happens, his collection of cheats will clear the way for him. Even if things look very bad, he rarely if ever runs away just to be safe. He also finds treasure more often that I find unpaid bills.

[+] Even if he has selfish and narcissistic tendencies, the MC can be surprisingly honorable and trusted friend, so he is sometimes stuck in situations where he ends up helping people even if it risky. He even genuinely tries to keep his promises and is generous to people, while he is adventuring alone in the dog-eat-dog cultivation world. He is a good guy MC.

[-] The most serious critique I have for this series is, that after all the world building by ch.814, I find it hard to accept that all the cultivation groups in this vast universe are so similar everywhere. The cultures and languages are the same, so that our smartypants-MC can easily decipher and guess what other cultivators are thinking or how they will react to different situations. It would be much more interesting if there were real communication barriers and cultural differences. Or would that be too complicated and difficult for the average reader? It certainly is complicated for the writer, so we do not see it here.

[+] Intellectually speaking, I should really hate this novel, but instead I like it. The reasons are laziness and emotional. I like an easy read at the end of the day. I have also followed this for a couple of years, so I want to follow up and see what is going on with Yang Kai. I also like action movies, and those are generally rather simple and s*upid, so in comparison to those stories this is practically high literature.

[- - -] However, it is daunting to think there are (at the moment) 4549 chapters published in the original language. How can any story stay good or even moderately interesting indefinitely? The time of commitment would also be incredible. With this translation speed it would take 12 years to reach these current original language chapters (300 chapters per year = 12 years; 400 chapters per year = 9, 5 years). I will probably continue martial peak until a decent payoff point and drop it then. There are better and shorter stories out there.
