Not going to start reading until it's finished. I don't trust Qidian to finish translating novels anymore with how many have been dropped. (Plundering the Heavens, Stealing the Heavens, Soaring the Heavens, Commanding Wind and Cloud, etc.). From now on, I'm only reading completed novels.

In the distant future, magic has been rediscovered, and the legendary rulers of the past have been resurrected as mad liches. Twisted by insanity, these imitations of great men rule the world with an enchanted iron fist, and out of desperation, a secret cabal of rebels bring back a villain, in the hopes that perhaps madness may turn him good.
Now, only the reanimated mummy of John Wilkes Booth can possibly stop the tyranny of Abe The Wizard.

30yo fighter isekai-d into 10yo minor nobility son. With "cheats".
Honestly, not the worst of the genre. Not the best either. While the characters, as they are written so far, are believable and relatable, the rest of the story is just "meh".
1. Cheats too strong. Horadric Cube is basically infinite money + infinite resources, including magical ones.
2. The hero is a cultivation genius, for no reason at all. And some of the martial arts skills he learned back on Earth are being curiously useful
in this new world. Magical China is magical, for no reason at all.
3. The world is too forgiving to the hero's obviously odd actions. That was especially glaring, when he, as a boy, produced a sum of gold equivalent to a half of a knights YEARLY estate income. Everything just goes too well in favor of the hero, as if the world is orchestrated to his benefit.

Having read ahead a bit, this is basically a Chinese dude transmigrating into a new world, but somehow having magic Diablo 2 powers. Halfway through, the author introduces needless young master/clan elder politics, a sad excuse of romance and some minor world building.
But fear not, having run out of ideas on how to proceed, the author inevitably ends up making the MC play Diablo in the new world, using his Deus Ex Hax. Read this if you wanna read about a Chinese wish fulfillment fantasy involving Elves, dwarves and somehow, Diablo 2

I honestly don't understand how this novel was given a higher rating than a 3 at best. The translation is poor, almost as if there was no editor involved at all in the process. It feels like a machine translation.
The author makes a character with a cheat, doesn't use said cheat, but also adds additional information and abilities that we had no prior knowledge of to conveniently bypass any and all obstacles, basically cheating without using the cheat.
It's just poorly written and translated.

Stopped reading this, the translation is just so bad, intermixing knight's, nobles and royals and making rankings totally unclear. Mixing up names, and really needs an editor. It's slightly better than machine translation but there it stops. The story itself is ok, not good but not worse than the average for its type.

-The MC is a bodybuilder trainer who knows 3 type of martial arts, know how to forge (because he saw TV program about forging...), know how to hunt/build bear trap (because he was hiking in his other life; wtf now when you're hiking in a mountain you've to know how to hunt bears !??) and is more experienced in the art of using a brush than someone who spent 20 years on it (because he had the hobby to frickin do calligraphy during his free time)
-Mixing nobility/royalty | the names of the characters
-Bad translation : He got to ride a horse for 6 hours and he covered 300 miles (that's a horse that go at a speed of ~80 km/h for 6 hours straight)

Overall it is not terribly bad but I became disinterested quickly reading it. The MC is 30 yet acts like he in his **** years. Also he has no personality, his lucky halo is being used constantly, there is no individuality. It feels forced and boring.

The plot starts pretty good but after author starts to associate everything to the past job of MC and throw modern inventions it gets horrible.
Translation has problems.

Fickking boooooo, shame on you releasing fukcing mtl bullsh!t!!! How lazy do you have to be?! No quality control on this profiteering garbage site. What an absolute insult to all your readers intelligence. I wont even bother trying to read anything here anymore, its utter trash and it's quite obvious they dont give a fcuk. To dare think this is a "professional translations company". Get absolutely stuffed, qidian is as bad as EA. Only wnat the money, dont give a damn about the consumers.

Unfortunately the author stopped writing a week and a half ago shorting every one that paid for premium. This is a first and last time i pay for chapters on this site. ai refuse to pay for a half written book that is way over priced. I'll wait to see if he publishes the story.
