Plot is nice, totally worth reading but i will not recommend you to read it as your first novel. That one is very cliche and has a lot of cringe moments, but its my guilty pleasure, im reading on wuxialib.net, totally recommend the site

Pretty good Xianxia. 3.5 rounded up to 4. If the translation were higher quality, it would be more worthy of 4 stars.

A great start to this Xianxia series. I like the grand idea of martial Dao here. The translation is awful though!
My Rating - 4/5

(read all 65 "volumes" and I'm gonna review them all here)
The story was pretty good except for the parts that focused on war, which was 25-33% of the entire story and maybe I should give it an extra point for the sheer length of it.
I also like that it appeared to be a more mature story, I mean there were tons of bloody killings and probably the most sex I've ever seen in a chinese story (which still isn't that much and disappeared in the later half) but in the end it still ended childishly with the whole good vs evil trope and enemies becoming friends, although it was more subtle than that and not to the extent you see in anime.
So in short, the story was pretty good to great in the first half and I wish it would have ended there, it would have been more enjoyable.
Instead the first part of the 2nd half is just a slow setup for the war that takes up the entire 2nd part of the 2nd half and I have a lot of issues with that.
Since it's a war, gone are the funny bits, the adventure aspect, the sex, basically anything interesting/entertaining and instead we get the stuff that comes with war, and newsflash: war isn't entertaining and it drags on for far to long, plus as the story continues the author has more and more stuff to rehash for the 1000th time.
And after suffering through all that war we only get 1-2 chapters after it, what a let down.
As usual (since he's a chinese author) his story telling skills can only be described as revolting, just endless amounts of recaps, summaries, pointing out the obvious, speculating, repeats... etc.
Anywhere from 30 to 80% of the text is irrelevant, with an average of 50%.
This has the effect of completely destroying the pacing, you even forget what the conversation was about or with who since the author tends to add 3-5 pages worth of irrelevant garbage in between dialogues.
The whole story could be shortened down from 6000 to 3000 chapters and not only would you not miss out on anything, it would greatly increase the enjoyment of it.
Thankfully the manga version eliminates all that, but it also changes a few things, removes or heavily shortens all sex scenes and even leaves a few things out so I opted to read the novel version instead (but I did read ~4000 chapters of that too), but I'm not sure that was the best decision.
I recommend switching to the manga version after the first ~3000 chapters.

Martial Peak is a journey of a boy named Yang Kai who was born with no power but with his luck he discovered things and established connections with some powerful people that ends up losing fights with Yang Kai. I like reading this one even though the plot is cliche and cringe. Translation is somewhat bad but if you're reading manga too much you won't mind about it. Started reading this one on the first few months of the year and it's still updating weekly on manga zone.

I managed a couple of hundred chapters. Unfortunately it's just very plain, there is limited struggle for the overpowered MC. The relationships are a bit cringeworthy. The reasoning behind events are often poor at best.
If you like young adult manhwa, women swooning on the MC, easy progress and a bit of plot armour this book may work for you.

plotnya simple, klise, banyak "cringe"nya tapi cukup asik untuk dibaca santai. 6k+ chapter butuh waktu setahun untuk namatin judul ini tapi asli enjoy banget walaupun banyak plot hole dan author beberapa kali nggak inget sama detail ceritanya.

the author and the artist have made a masterpiece with this book by tying in a heart-wrenching conflict and beautiful action scenes. the way the main character evolves and changes makes you want to cheer for him and cry when he's hurt.
