This novel has really good potential so far, our mc did go back in time, but he was a keyboard warrior instead of a martial genius. When he came back, only thing he gained was his determination to not slack off anymore and the timing of the qi returning to the world. He has no cheats, he isn’t some kind of a genius all he has just pure effort.
I was expecting usual “I went back in time, I will save my old master or let me get super ahead and get all the buffs-relics I know in future” stuff but I am genuinely suprised that this isn’t the case.
So far, solid translation, good worldbuilding and realistic world. Reasonable story elements and a mc with a brain and determination.
If this novel continues in this direction it will become one of the great novels that will be recommended.
I will change this review if it suddenly drops in quality, but so far all I see is potential.
