Golden Core is a Star, and You Call This Cultivation?My Core is the Boss

My Golden Core is a Star, do you call this cultivating?

金丹是恒星，你管这叫修仙？

Up to the current chapter (469) and gotta say, this is some good stuff. Quite odd MC that has a pretty good sense of humor. The author pulls some nice writing shenanigans in the first 200 chapters with time travel and whatnot(which I absolutely loved). Other than that, writing is quite good too, much better than more Chinese cultivation slop. Decent character/world building, power scaling is quite good, and the female leads arent absurdly weak.
Translation stays pretty stable throughout, with a few dips here and there resulting in different names for places/chars/whatnot for a few chapters but then it goes back to normal.
Overall rating, 4/5

Immensely funny. If this novel hasn't made you laugh, wait until you meet Great Wisdom True Monarch. If by then you still haven't found this novel funny, you can scold me and downvote my comment.

I read this a month or 2 ago on a MTL site and the MC is just not my type, the comedy too. I’m honestly surprised by how many people like it because of how oblivious the MC is. I think it would be so much better if this was 1 of those smart MCs who act low-key and all and not arrogant, but when a situation arises where he needs to show his strength, it just creates epic heavenly phenomenons(which honestly I was expecting from reading the synopsis) and then everyone is just in awe and disbelief. I guess a large part of why I dislike this novel is due to the expectations I had coming into it and maybe the MTL translations played a small part too.

I enjoyed it more then i expected. I would give it a 3.7/5 it gets better the more you have read other cultivation novels.

The novel is basically if i had a mc that is not good in his head and finds some impossible cultivation methods that everyone calls impossible... he cultivates them successfully...

But now he has no clue how strong he is so he gets wrong information and then thinks someone is very strong while his aura makes it impossible for them to move.

The story itself is actually very well constructed.

The chapters are longer then most novels.

The thing i didn't like that much is best explained in if you watch a comedy and the jokes have the same kind of "tune" it is funny for the first 2 hours but then it kinda gets stale. This happened for me at chapter 450 but i read the entire 460 or so available chapters in 2 days so it is not a big negative?

Another is that the translation could be better. It takes away 0,3 points for me.

Read till 195. Couldn't continue. The mc starts acting like a young master for real and not a parody of it. Till the previous arc he was just autistic now you could say that he embraced the role he was playing. Everything just goes his way without reason.
Till the previous qrc it was DAMN ENJOYABLE. But the author forgot the role the mc was supposed to be playing imo.

im 240 chapters in and i have to say it is one of THE funniest novel i ever read,
dont worry about the translation at all, those of us who have achieved the dao of mtl , it is at worst , the foundation establishment level in this novel.

no where near the purple mansion realm novels that goes on the dark side of the novel industry here !

so dont worry and dive in fellow daoists, it is not poison

It's pretty good and interesting but the translation is like shit, that's all

Two cultivators whose grandfather was taller are arguing: - My grandfather was as tall as this tree! - And my grandfather was as tall as that mountain over there! — My grandfather was so tall that he reached the stars! — Were the stars round? - Round. - Warm? - Yes. - So these were my grandfather's ball's! (Qi Yuan and his Cores came to mind at the time of chapter 264) It would be epic to smash these dudes from the upper world not with star golden cores, but with balls. It would be a spectacle...

Currently At Chapter 315. The first 250+ chapters actually not too bad. After that point its drops off a bit about 275 starting the 4th arc as I would say. Once here its been a struggle to keep reading, 95% boring content 4% progression, and 1% OP protagonist moments. The pacing was actually pretty good for the first arcs, but it just feel through a hole on the 4th, and all the "logic" being built though the novel just kinda implodes. By this point its feeling more like a pokemon gotta catch em all type of novel, where MC learns every possible path in existence on top of his typical OP foundations.
