What are people saying about Sage Monarch?

“One of the greatest light novels” - Akio

“Deathblade has done it again. Absolutely incredible. It’s chapters… make me want to learn Chinese for myself.” - Amodace

“I love this story for many reasons... In it more than any other I've read before I feel like I can understand the [motivations] of the villains. In their own world they make sense… and are not bad just for the sake of being bad.” - Shuran

“By far the quickest zero to hero progression I’ve ever seen... I’m loving it!” - Peever

"I love the world-building in Sage Monarch. The universe is relatable." - Iodashu

"This novel is really awesome. It's like a never ending train of badasses.... There really aren't many of the normal xianxia cliches and even those that are there are tolerable or done in a different way. All in all its a breath of fresh air among all the low quality content that populates this genre." - Nazara

How would I quickly describe Sage Monarch? "All killer, no filler!"

While there is some repetition in the novel, with regards to just repeating things at certain points, Deathblade has done an incredible job in cutting all that down. And, as you would expect from DB, the translation is a cut above.

There is absolutely no messing around in this novel. Goals are set, focused on and eventually achieved. Our MC, Yang Qi, is as much your typical main character as he is a breath of fresh air. He takes absolutely no nonsense and even calls out some typical tropes in the process. On the subject of tropes, this novel was written in a time where most of the tropes we know today weren't really as widespread as they currently, if they existed at all. So there are tropes within, but I've felt that after over 700 chapters, they've worked fairly well within the story.

The story itself is a vastly overarching one. The kind where things at the beginning of the novels have meaning for a very long time, even if it isn't apparent to start with. There are points I expect will last until the end of the novel. It does an incredible job of keeping me guessing from chapter to chapter.

Cultivation is fast and rewarding, at least for Yang Qi. There are plenty of cultivation stages to achieve, so there is always the next one to strive for. The novel is full of hype moments, comedy, items to collect, unexpected types of character for this type of novel (seriously, you'll see) and antagonists you can't help but loathe.

I would absolutely recommend giving this novel a shot. I'm almost 800 chapters in at the point of writing this and currently thinking of upgrading my sponsorship. I. Just. Need. More!

It's not terrible but there are so many better novels out there. This one is generic crap, and the only thing that really stands out is how uniformly mediocre it is.

The main character is supremely overpowered right from the beginning, and at the time of this review he has faced maybe one or two challenges over 700 chapters. It's possible to do the overpowered mc in an entertaining way, but this ain't it. Every time anything challenging is presented the author pulls the same deus ex machina out of his ass, saying that the mc's technique is the most powerful and of course he wins. The entire novel is basically a pretend fight amongst elementary school students. Picture it: "I have a shield that shields for infinity damage", "Oh yeah, well my gun does infinity PLUS ONE DAMAGE. I win you die.".

There I just described the entire novel, now you don't have to read it. The world building isn't bad, but with such utterly terrible characters, it's not worth sticking around for. And of course there are no meaningful side characters whatsoever. They just come and go.

Go read something better like one of Deathblade's previous translations. Don't read this.

Deathblade is one of my favorite translator and i have enjoy all of his previous work except for this novel.

Nothing to do with his translation but more to do with the author.

This story is about how the protagonist becoming op after being struck by lightning and getting a ultimate god mammoth legacy

First , The friendship in this novel is one of then most shallow i have read before. No real bond is being forge and the mc will just go and acknowledge them as sworn brother and sister. The side characters and relationship forge also get very irrelevant super fast.

Secondly, there is no suspense when mc can always power up quickly and when he cannot. His innate power will activate at e last moment. It feel like him having e god legacy make him invincible and he can do whatever he wants.

It is not a bad novel but when compare to deathblade previous work like awe and issth. It is indeed a very mediocre one imo.
