This is a great novel, but the number of people that seem to think the mc is even somewhat in the right is extremely concerning. He is a psychopath through and through. He does not experience emotions like the rest of us, because while he might say he feels anger or joy, he is completely detached from them. There's being rational and putting emotions aside, and then there's this.

Honestly, in my opinion, this book being unfinished is the greatest loss in Chinese literature that happened in 21st century.
Not a good book to start reading Chinese cultivation novels with, but if you read enough Cultivation novels, isekais and Korean regressor novels to the point where everything seems like a cliche, this book is like a breath of fresh air.
Looking back to stuff I read, most is like some shallow single player game for kids, but this here is hardcore multiplayer where you have to play your cards extremely good to achieve something. When author says "everyone is main character of their own life" he actually means it. Every single round there are multiple players, making multiple arrangements, each has their own information about everything and acts accordingly. After each fight everyone has their own losses and their own gains, very often FY is not the "biggest winner " and if you actually won or not depends on how well can you use your gains in next rounds.
The most amazing thing is that at 2300 chapters there's no feeling that book is dragged out or repeats itself. The situation is constantly changing and we keep moving from 1 interesting event to another. There are many books that feel dragged out even at chapter 500, not to mention 2000. You can say that there are books with more chapters, but among 2k+ books I read this is the only one that doesn't feel dragged out to me.
