Read TL done by Lusario & TOOR Scans. After that you'll have to stick with Nux and unfortunately Official Scans.

The more I read the better it gets. Although pace can be slow at times, while I haven't counted the chapters in an arc it sure feels long.

MC is transported into a cultivation world. He gets a cheat of course but the system doesn't handhold the MC like other series do. He can farm something called Origin Points from people's emotion toward him (0.01 each time). If you do the calculation, it's not easy and he has to put a lot of effort into it. For example, getting 10 origin points, he has to farm 1000 emotions.

He can use these points to upgrade his skills and other stuff (won't ruin the fun for you). Also every time he uses them for his skills, the value to upgrade further gets inflated so it's not easy at all.

The system also has the power to transport MC into all sorts of worlds (mini-arcs happen here) where he can gain skills, farm points etc. Again, the system doesn't handhold him. First of all, he has to strengthen his body again, including learning martial arts and level up his skills again all the while farming points. Sometimes MC gets transported into a modern world, where possibilities to earn points may feel limitless but also gets restricted (you'll know) but it's fun to watch how MC will do it. MC will get quests from the system when going into another world, it maybe related to owner of the body he'll assimilate into or something else. He will get a description but again no hand-holding. If he fails he won't any points and has to go back.

The MC might feel too perfect at times but he has his flaws and weakness. He doesn't always win easily and we do see his emotions. Speaking of relationships, MC has a wife but he doesn't cheat. There's other romance stuff happen which I won't go into detail but it is very well written imo.

Talking about his powers, I feel he should have a offensive martial arts comparable to the main one, maybe he does get in future as I'm still reading so I don't know.

It's not perfect but I'm having fun. And if you do read, I hope you enjoy it.

Not bad it just falls into the common Manhua/Xianxia pitfalls

It is so frustrating that the concepts are good but the series cannot dodge the achilles heel of too much nationalism and modern politics making it into a fantasy novel.

I dont know if is the authors or publishers making the propaganda/racism this explicit but it takes you out of the novel.

Amazing manhuas (ch. 440)

by Kagaros

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

One of the best manhuas I've read. Like all the others say, it's got amazing art, character development and story progression.

Minor spoilers ahead

Unfortunately I can't call it perfect because of a few points.
First, for those that start reading it, the start can be abit low-quality in terms of art but the quality jumps up several notches later on. It's not terrible so you can skim read it until after the MC finishes his first world hop.
My second issue is that sometimes the author will drag out the story for very irrelevant and boring parts such as when he has to pretend to be a Buddhist monk and you're info dumped on a lot of mind-numbing Buddhist philosophies or when he enters a tournament on one of his world hops where the author spent way too long, showing every single fight and several events even though they become pointless by the end.
Lastly, but most important for readers, the translation quality will be very inconsistent. On chapters 1-124 Lucario/TOOR scans both give beyond-amazing translations with footnotes given frequently as needed. After that, however, the translations will have its ups and downs repeatedly. You'll have to do some Google searching as those translations aren't listed here but they go up to chapter 440 and are still going.

Greatest Manhua of all time for Seinen.

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

Whether it's art, concept, characters or story progression this serie is absolute top.
In fact I dare say for all adult males with okay or good head on their shoulders this series contends easily with the best manhwa's and manga's with it's well fleshed out characters and amusing storyline.

But the day some incompetent official translator scum put his worthless hands on this series might as well have spelled this wonderful series demise... with horrible translation worse than mtl horrible rendering drastically damaging the art and liberal/rewriteesque changes... I couldn't even read one full "official translated" chapter to it's end...

Lusario wherever you are please continue translating this series, it deserves to be properly translated.
This series deserves better, those "official translator" scum are not even worthy to read this series let alone be it's translator...

Good

Interesting premise, the story is the classic modern day guy sent to a cultivation world and gets a cheat system, that alone is already off-putting, but this one does it intelligently, there is a main world where the overarching plot takes place and there are also many different worlds to where the MC is transported to do small arcs, this helps keep things fresh as long as some of the new worlds and stories keep being interesting.
In particular, the system doesn't handle things on a platter, gathering points is not that easy and everything is pretty expensive so it keeps the speed of power-ups relative to other cultivation geniuses in the main world. Also, systems are usually a tool for lazy writers to avoid having to think of a proper story, in this one (thou it does serve as shortcuts) the system takes the MC to new words that ramifies the story and present a constant influx of new characters, most of them are as short lived as the small arc they are a part of, but some outlive the cycle.
Characters... are a mixed bag, the MC while interesting is a bit inconsistent and too good an actor for my taste thus he can be anyone and fit in right into any new setting seamlessly, the other chars are mostly a**holes, really, I don't know if there is any other male that is/was a good person so far (leaving minor chars aside), and women are so... as in other manhuas, I don't know if it's a chinese thing or particular of the manhua society but authors are too chauvinist for my taste or they have a very skewed view of what a good or decent woman is, thus, save some fortunate exceptions, most woman are either harpies or submissive.
Lastly, art is good, on the upper tier for manhuas for sure, and pace is good with the constant change in world and setting.

Engaging system-based world hopper

The MC jumps from world to world with the help of his system, learning techniques and gathering power. Each world has an interesting and unique story. Everything is anchored around a main world that MC tries to navigate through using his system and the power and skills he gathered from other worlds.

Fun story, but stick to the translations by Lusario and TOOR scans.

There is some other person who "translates" faster but their English is pure gibberish so stick to quality over quantity.
