Synopsis

In the depths of a newborn universe, a cultivator takes advantage of the abundant energy to refine himself a treasure. But after 14 billion years of refining and quite a few more to go, he decides to entertain himself by releasing countless systems and watching how the creatures of this fledgling universe handle them.



On Earth, a young man, lost and confused about what to do with his life, sits in a park and looks up at the night sky. A shooting star, a wish and a bang. When the boy finally wakes up he hears a sound, "assimilation complete. Launching System. Welcome to the Midnight Inn. Host Designation: The Innkeeper."

READ THIS. ASAP. Early few reviews will make you question should you read it or not, well the answer YES. so, every author has different way to write and present their story all I will say it this one is super 'ENTERTAINING', you will definitely enjoy this.

What can I say about this series that others haven’t?! Comparing this to many other series I’ve read, the author seems to enjoy the story more than the reader. The world building and Characters are amazing. The details of how the power/magic system for the universe is mesmerizing. I won’t shamelessly plug, but reading this has inspired me to get back into my own writing. Just how many ideas and events that have taken place in these last 1,000 chapters. I truly feel immersed in the world that’s being crafted. This is probably the best series I’ve read with an easy to learn cultivation system makes the reader wish they could participate in the universe. 10/10 series

Although words can't do this work of art justice, I absolutely adore this novel. The best novel I've ever read. The story is very well written and the characters are not one dimensional. No problems with grammar or writing quality. World-building is great. The innkeeper system concept is very unique. No problem with updates too. It has been very impressive so far and definitely will continue to be. Make this a very long novel please author-sama. I'm also abhorred by the number of people who've given this novel a rating lower than 4 stars when I noticed people who've given bad reviews haven't even read all the unlocked chapters. Some haven't even started the novel, so ignore those reviews. Btw you're definitely missing out if you're still reading my review lol and haven't read the novel yet.

How can garbage books get endless promotions and reviews, while a great book like this remains unknown? If you want a good read, and am as tired as I am of the endless trash being released, give this book a read. Two thumbs up. Good work Author [img=recommend]

Mandatory shameless author review here: It's a great story with a realistic approach to the cultivation world. There may be a bit of faceslapping, a bit of humor and a bit of crying, but all of it will be done in a way that's not ridiculously obvious and annoying! The overarching story has already been planned from start to end, but how events play out can be influenced by readers feedback so feel free to leave comments on chapters telling what you like or dislike. Either way, it's not a directionless novel going randomly from one arc to the next. Each arc is important, and seemingly mundane characters and events from random chapters may come back as larger twists later so keep an eye out and feel free to theorize how the characters will play an important role later :)

What a little gem I found. why is this story not on the highest rankings is beyond me. the writing and the flow are excellent, even if the story is moving a little too slow (not a criticism, I'm simply greedy for more haha). Keep it up, love your work.

Not too shabby. While the beginning stumbles a little as it tries to find its voice, tempo, and emphasis, it eventually settles into its own rhythm. MC could be described as OP while attempting to prove that he is not OP. He always has enough points or luck or items to do everything. At first, Inn is squished to the side as MC does dumb things on earth, but thankfully, before I lost my patience, Inn returns to center stage, with MC's shenanigans diminished. If the author ever considers rewriting the beginning, it is advised that they devote more time to the inn and either reduce or move the MC's shenanigans later. Many low star reviews are about absence of inn in beginning chapters: “Not even half of the first 20 chapter is actually about the Inn.”/Rappel; “This has great potential right until chapter 10. The author completetly ruined their work.”/KIING (10 chapter introduces cultivators on earth and shifts focus from inn to MC shenanigans on earth); “Forced plot with cultivators and his family.”/Elder; Readers dislike for cultivation probably comes from two facts: it takes away time from the inn and every world and dimension has the same type of cultivation. All worlds have similar feeling. It is almost bad as MassEffect color ending. Choose your world, one has humans, other world has humans and dead humans, third has humans and animals, but all of them have cultivation and humans! Even none humans look like humans. Overall, readable novel if you don’t mind OP MC, cultivation, and aliens that are all human.

The fact that this novel was hard for me to find shows how bad Webnovel’s book promotion system is. They constantly try to get to read terrible books that have a trillion bad reviews but then never reccomend me books that are good like this one. Although I don’t have the time or patience for a full review, this book is a truly well made book, especially for this site. The concept is unique and interesting, the characters are generally well thought out and the MC eventually starts to move away from constantly relying on the system. I also like how the MC doesn’t just know the absolute best path for everything and is kinda dumb at times, because it makes it a little more relatable and interesting. Anyways, give the book a try if you haven’t already!

Innkeeper means managing the inn its ok to go out and do missions and comeback to manage the inn but no the dumb author made the mc just like the other xianxa mc's fighting everywhere and forgot the inn.

After reading 200 chapters I finally feel that the author just doesn't know what he is doing and he doesn't have a clear future plan. First let's talk about MC. Although MC is interoduced as a lucky dog and the whole system business is also great Author reluctantly didn't improved MCs's strength for at least 100 chapters or so. I don't get it why MC needs to be weak. So for 100 or so chapters MC did nothing but host a big event. That event is also questionable cause I don't know the reason why the inn got so many popularity all of a sudden. On a second thought the story was great before that long event. Also I get it that MC is cautious but the outright mistakes he made although the author backed that up saying he has brain tumor.Anyway my whole point is if you are so reluctant to make the MC even fight why not make him a saitama type MC who is already super strong. That way we don't need to see MC is simping or things like this.

Really great book on my top 5 for sure, the only thing I would say I dont love is the pacing of the story, first I thought his cultivation speed was to slow, but then I realized that what was really slow was the time, I mean after 400 chapters or so only 1 year passed and countless events that made an empact on the universe happened, the universe being billions of years If I was the ruler of that universe I would think something terribly wrong is going on, In my humble opinion I think a time skip would make this story feel more ”realistic” and with a better flow. When I read the first 50 chapters or so it felt like years passed but in reality it hasnt even been a week since he got the system. Keep it up author

This one convinced me to leave my first review ever. Been on Webnovel for years and years, and this feels like a combination of some of my all time favorites. If you enjoyed the organization management portions of History's Number One Founder, this is for you. If you liked having to front as an all powerful being and develop others the way things were done in Lord of the Mysteries, then this is also a great one for you. The MC has realistic motivations and responses to events, he's rational but isn't a robot, and it takes advantage of tropes you'll love if you've read a bunch of other system based novels. Dropped every Golden Ticket and Power Stone I had saved up on this. Try it out all, it's well worth it.

This is a novel about a young earth man getting an innkeeper system, overall this novel was good. Didn't notice any obvious grammatic errors, the world building has being done quite well, the story has an immersive quality. The characters are well developed and the plot is quite interesting.

This novel in one word, stable. The writing quality has been are throughout the entire 700 odd chapters thus far. Being detailed where it needs to be. This novel excels in word choice and more. Updating stability deserves a 5/5. Its stable. Nothing more needs to be said. Story development. This is for those who don’t want a quick story. It is slow, but each chapter builds upon something. It sets up brilliant foundations although the end goal is still elusive, if there is one, it does well with general building. Character Design. Though there is a lot of them, which does cause issues with developing so many Lifesketcher does a great job. Slowly giving each character in this story something that makes them unique. World background: In my opinion, this is what the author excels the most at. A lot of thought has gone into how this Universe/realms etc works. Although this might be a bit too much for some. Overall this is one of the better novels I’ve read on this platform. Although it will not be everyone’s cup of tea, for those who enjoy this type of novel, the author does honor to it. - :)
