season 1: excellent
season 2: very good, some pacing issues
season 3: tediously slow, dragging the story down

still decent, but way too frustrating to follow as a weekly series now due to the glacial pacing.

It was ok at the start but just kept getting more and more preachy over time. At chapter 184 it finally got to the point where I couldn't stand it anymore.

Main character is always preaching to the reader about how the orthodox sects are evil hypocrites and that the demon clan is ACTUALLY the righteous and good clan (even though they put children in a cave where 90% of them die).

Chapter 184 was the last straw, it had a kid preach to the captured prisoners in order to turn them over to the MC's side. And they were converted just like that. So dumb.

Is that they really do milk chapters of this manhwa. It’s still interesting but if you read it week by week the story moves at a snails pace. For new readers it’s not a problem since it has 190+ chapters but now that I have caught up it really dampens the story.

I've read it a few time, probably in my top five so far, my kind of Martial Arts Manhua.

There's none of excessive gibberish typical from martial arts manwas, the story's quite straight forward, doesn't have any fillers and it's mostly in the MC's POV and some scenes of the enemy camp. You really feel how the author doesn't want to milk out the story, only giving minimal recap side notes/scene when needed and one small flashback.

Power levels are consistent and the plot advances at a natural pace, with all the characters showing growth (given the complexity of the story is mostly centred in warfare and vengeance (not as if anyone could go training in the middle of a war)), it has 1 on 1 battles but once they're done they aren't the main focus of the story)

Note: I dont know what tiankioo under me was reading .Was he expecting a love story or the backstory of every random character we see for first time?

The protagonist was a direct apprentice of the current successor of the Spear Master Sect, a sect from the Orthodox/Rightouts side of the Murim. However, he and his master were framed for the possession and studying of a manual of Demonic arts, one of the heaviest crimes for a martial artist of the Orthodox Faction. This leads to a combined attack by several leaders of big Orthodox sects and the Martial Alliance leader himself, where they both perish, his master earlier trying to protect him and he followed soon after, but at the exact moment he meets his end, an ancient artefact gave by his master glows and just a little afterwards he finds himself reborn as a young trainee of the Cult of the Heavenly Demon.

From there on, he has one thing in mind, revenge against the martial alliance and the members of the Orthodox Sect responsible for the downfall of the Spear Master Sect, he'll use both the experience he had as an Orthodox Martial Artist and his new opportunity of being raised from the ground up as a member of an Unorthodox one to get to new heights for his revenge plan to succeed, and one key factor heavily depends on his success on becoming the highest rank member in the cult, The Heavenly Demon.

i like this

This Manhwa has an excellent combination of story and art. The action scenes are fluid, and the storyline does not feel forced. There is no exaggerate pushy romance and the MC is very likable and smart. If you like MCs who aren’t impulsive then this story is worth a shot. Can’t wait for the next update!

Simple reincarnation revenge manhwa executed with a good combination of writing and art.

The writer and the artist create a simple world with consistent pacing and art panels from many different perspectives, thus creating great immersion. Even though some parts are drawn with minimal effort, the multiple given perspectives and simple yet distinctive faces and emotions give the story a unique feeling. The continual explanation of the world, situations, thoughts, feelings, etc. leave little space for plot holes. This constant flow of information, logic, and continuity motivates the reader to have expectations and theories about what might happen. Also, lots of the recurring themes of manga, such as; plot armor, oversized tits, and obvious comic relief are absent which gives the impression of a professional fantasy comic.

After reading multiple times till ch.66 I would recommend this manhwa for people who like mature and consistent "weak to strong" type stories.
Really looking forward to the next season! (nov.1)

Though it's too soon to tell since it's only been 31ch this one is off to s good start. A manhwa that takes itself seriously, The are no dumb comedic reliefs so far, no sudden power-ups, no unexplained happenings and no much plot armor (again, so far). It's also coherent and consistent, has a decent MC and from we could see far is set in a sort of grim setting where the heavenly and demonic sects fight each other for supremacy (to be honest, there hasn't been much world-building yet). Lastly, the drawing flow of battles is mostly good and the art style is nice, albeit, pretty standard in manhwas.
The main drawback is that as all cultivation series there ain't much originally to be found, just another cultivation-martial arts revenge story but at least it's well presented and well done. Also, anyone hoping to find originality in a cultivation story is bound to be disappointed imo.
Also, pace is a tad slow which I don't dislike, I prefer a story that takes it time explaining and developing itself thou we'll see how it holds up after 100ch or so.
Overall, I have high hopes for this one, is only been 31ch after all so I hope it doesn't ruin itself later.
