Great story and characters.my issue is that it isn't R-18. I just find that alluding to the s*x etc that goes on with the harem instead of writing about it breaks the immersion while reading. Just my opinion i know there are many books written like that as the author doesn't want to write smut but if your mc is perverted and has a harem I mean It's a given that they'll have sex etc. At one time I quit after chapter 270 and didn’t return for a long time. At the time the novel seemed good to me, but I lost interest in it.Now I'm back to read all the new chapters that have been released, and I must say that my opinion has changed. There were some parts that I didn't like because of the point of view from which I read it. And some I simply considered to be disadvantages, and they affected my enjoyment of reading. After 270+ chapters, the plot begins to rapidly increase in quality! It becomes much more interesting to read. As the story goes on, the author makes the story much better.Among the advantages for me personally1) Well, he finally got rid of the blue balls, I was really very annoyed by such a harem, but untouched by the MC himself!2) The wedding finally took place, and he improved and awakened his free bloodline! This is a big plus, since the MC has become much stronger, and now he will not be beaten by every second piece of trash. And he himself can now do more than just rely on poison and other external things.3) The plot is more developed, it begins to live up to its title, and I like the direction in which it is moving. Of the minuses.1) The power system is still poorly thought out, it’s quite annoying, the author really needs to work on this point.2) Still a poorly developed world. There is no complete picture of the world in which the MS is located, this does not spoil the story too much, but I would still like to understand how the world is divided, and where what factions are located, and what territories they are responsible for.3) All the same idiotic descendants! There are too many of them to kill. An unkillable enemy, and in such numbers, it’s terrible!In principle, the pros of reading far outweigh the cons of this story. Of course, you need to take into account that I did not list all the advantages above. These are only those that appeared after chapter 270. Pluses are added to the story, while the author's minuses gradually disappear.I think the author did a good job, I will continue to read and hope for further improvement of the story. Nice novel. It is getting much better as you can feel the author getting better in every chapter. Good read Quite an alright novel. Although there are some parts that I'm not fond of, the humor and story are making this quite enjoyable. Also there's plenty of dark sides of the world and nature in here, but at the very least the censorship isn't that harsh compared to most other novels.This novel's name is edgy IMO and I was doubting whether to read it. But other than the lustful part and some excessively dark sh*t, it felt okay and pretty plausible. MC is quite clever too (scamming others a lot as well - he has quite some cheats for that).(the huge status windows aren't that cool though) This novel is pure junk-food type. If you are willing to stomach stupid decisions like acting arrogant on purpose while simultaniously wanting to be low-key, you can pass time with this novel, I guess. This novel is just pure joy and satisfaction. Currently in chapter 354 and finally we have a clear path and plans for Victor to become the young master in the shadows... And it was an incredible effort from the author. Sarcasm or ? What!No, this is one of the best original novel I ever read, and the best part of it is witnessing the author improve rapidly with every chapter.This is a fun novel. I caught up Time to wait for 6 months for realwhen it delivers it's good, but it happens twice a year. following this book week after week is just pure torture ANYONE WHO PLANS ON READING THIS THINKING IT'S A GOOD NOVEL: go read Sersafir's review for this story on Scribblehub and then conside
