Summary

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."

    This is probably one of the my favorite series on the site. The progression is relatively slow at times, but it's really satisfying every time the main MC gets a new boost in his powers. I think something interesting about this series is that there are multiple MC's who have their own unique arcs that happen congruently with that of the main MC. The interesting to me is how the author shows how intertwined everyone's fate is with each other and that of the main MC, which creates a lot of interesting plot points. The start is definitely slow, but once you push through that it's a gold mine (cancer be like that you know).

    Alr review time for the homies: the story is slow, like really REALLY slow, but that’s not a bad thing imo, the author takes all the time he needs to develop the concepts he’ll be using throughout the story, the story buildup so far is pretty credible with actual side characters, there rarely ever ahh sidekicks and even then it’s mostly for the jokes. So far plot armour is rarely ever used (only remember seeing it once or twice), the mc isn’t brain dead and actually improves on a mental level throughout the story. But tho the mc is pretty strong he’s in no way OP ( for example: he can beat people at his cultivation realm and some above, but his level is so low it’s inconsequential and barely comes into play). All in all if you’re looking for a story that actually wants to tell a tale, not just fill words on a blank screen, but will actively make you invested in it, then this is for you. But if you’re just looking for a novel to pass time (which is completely fine), better pass.

      Yeah, it's a great novel all things considered. The only major flaw with it is how much the author is suppressing MC's cultivation. Would it hurt the author to at least match the MC's speed with those around him? The only reason why the MC hasn't been squashed like a bug yet is that he's great at keeping up appearances as the innkeeper.

        Uhh I think your saying this because you haven't caught up but, the mc's cultivation is way faster and stronger then the people around him.

        I mean not really cuz if you're caught up you realize the whole time you was always stronger than anyone at this level or above this level so even if they're faster than him they would still be weaker also he speeds up the stronger he gets to the point that he's not being arrogant when saying no one on his level is as strong as him and everyone who you're talking about who's outpacing him got left behind way behind to the point that they're not even worth his attention he now has to actively slow down his own cultivation

        Oof does the MC need to fake at being strong to be able to live? That's not good

        No not necessarily, he mostly takes care of problems that involve his life and others personally. And his inn keeper persona is just not a fake persona either it comes with its own set of powers and perks, I won't say much tho for spoilers.

      • AnimeOverlord856 18

        I mean kind of but sometimes it's a crutch but it's also equally a hazard like in fact you would say it's more dangerous to have the system like it barely helps to keep him alive sometimes and I emphasis on sometimes it literally threatens to kill him if he doesn't complete a quest But yeah the MC is actually smart but at the start he might seem dumb but that's only because he has a brain tumor everyone seems to forget that part like he will be acting normal but keep in mind he still has a brain tumor also he still in his twenties so yes he's going to act like a 20 year old and not like someone knowing master or a teenager like for example if he blacks out you know why it's a combination of some Factor and his brain tumor it gets removed but it's a major point in the early story

      • WorthlesS0000 6

        He was an Earth immortal lat time I checked which was 1256 and his bodyguard was at Celestial Immortal realm. So he can possibly be facing him at the peak of Earth immortal realm as he fights at least 2 classes up.

        Reply
      • AnimeOverlord856 18

        Yeah I know the MC would sadly lose because the celestial immortal has a system that isn't broken bends over backward for him and has I believe the strongest attack cultivation method in the Universe now while lex has a newb cultivation method that's better he still at minimum needs to be peak heavenly immortal to not die immediately so no they'll only fight in the same realm, not level because at that point lex would have the advantage but yeah everyone seems to be forgetting that mc hasn't integrated with his system fixed it to 50% or fully become a living realm so if he does all that and reaches PEAK heavenly immortal he will most likely win also probably for good measure fully control the sword and shield in his eye and full integrate his dragonic organs along with his divinity, ok maybe too far since the opponent is probably a glass cannon build and not a demi daolord but my point still stands Don't underestimate him remember Mary herself was also the same race

        Reply
      • WorthlesS0000 6

        I would have agreed in case of any other MC but in case of Lex I can't see it happening. Also the bodyguard will join the inn most likely after the fight and with Lex being Lex he can break the normal. Also if the bodyguard has not reached the peak Celestial realm/ demi dao lord realm he will most likely fight him at peak heavenly realm. Also we will get answers related to System and Mary at Heavenly immortal realm so I believe for that his final challenge will be the bodyguard as who should be the peak of origin realm excluding Dao lords/Demi Dao lords. So yeah if the bodyguard is not at that stage he will most likely fight him by the end of this volume. Also Mo's blessing is most likely flawed like regal embrace so he might suffer backlash and that makes the fight more even.

        No it's straight up just says he's not particularly good at any technique related to defense or really anything aside from attacking but technically a technique that increases attack speed or allows you to do fast attacks so yeah there are ways to circumvent it also yes why you may be right Lex might be able to fight him at Peak Heavenly Realm but it will still be hard right I mean the guy is probably Peak Celestial by then and as we see Lex strictly speaking has never jumped a full Realm so it's going to be the hardest fight of the novel but then again he probably has so many busted cheats so yeah I'm thinking you're probably right but the Earth Immortal comment was a bit too much like is that actually happened I might just get annoyed like sure he technically killed a dao lord but that was using the power of the inn
