MC isn't too bad, nice he actually kills and has reason for his edge moments. Romance is cute too.

After 50 chapters though its very formulaic. MC goes somewhere > people get ignorant and fight him > he wins

Actually a really good read, great characters, artwork is decent, premise is well-done, and overall story is pretty fantastic.

Just as you get tired of a murim plot point it concludes the arc, gives a good cliffhanger, then throws the MC back to the modern world - rinse and repeat. While the MC is pretty generic for the most part - the supporting cast are all really interesting and their dialogue makes for lots of hilarious situations. Thankfully the MC frequently has challenges in combat, and his insane strength gains make a decent amount of sense (with him regularly hopping inside a murim-based hyperbolic time chamber). The "game-ification" also doesn't get too in the way, as it often does in this genre. Foreshadowing is impressive, and the storypoints are frequently dynamic enabling some interesting conclusions. MC's master genuinely made me tear up multiple times, and there is lots of fun plot-twists along the way. A 9/10 murim story with a 7/10 modern-hunter story, but the juxtaposition makes for great synergy enabling you to thirst for double the plot progression - this balancing act is done excellently.

8/10 - Overall does everything you should expect from this genre well, along with a slew of fun cast members. An added bonus I literally laughed out loud multiple times throughout the story.

I never thought him not showing his family the new home would be a tease.

I have a close friend's possesion? Let me give it to him - oh wait I'm a manhwa protag, let me be an asshole.

While MC sniping kids is really satisfying, it keeps trying to make you care about plot points and character that have no redeeming qualities.

The writing is genuinely abhorrent - full of plotholes, and stupid conveniences. Around chapter 60 someone gets an in-game contract that has the potential to put them in $100,000s in debt, and he decides to sign it... Instead of logging out... Or declining... MC frequently forgets some of his limited skills, making encounters much harder than necessary. Many of the characters are "evil for no reason". There is an infuriatingly liberal use of "THAT THING" "THEM PEOPLE" (the trash manhwa special).

5/10

I read all of this in 4 days, and I'm in love with trash wuxia. This one you can happily avoid, it didn't impress me in any form and has many flaws.

Pros:
Cool worldbuilding however it'll take forever to get the pay off. The biggest staying point is looking forward to him meeting his old students and friends in person (he literally doesn't interact with any of them in 300 chapters).
Overall artwork is decent. Some of the waifus are really great too!

Cons:
The MC being cocky is fun until it's insufferable, he's a literal child that gets all of his followers in danger. He even gets someone killed and the dude's best friend doesn't call him out on his sh*t.
Power-scaling is completely non-existent and it's literally the main selling point of cultivation stories. It's extremely unclear when the MC gets stronger and he literally decimates everyone with zero effort. You're not even rewarded with insane artwork most of the time.
Sets up a bunch of interesting things that we'll never see until chapter 800 - until then its pretty generic but heavily flawed storylines that always get concluded with "MC insult mother then go brr".

6/10, fullblown turn your brain off - fun for a while if you're tired of pussy MCs.

Recommendations for similar but much better series (for multiple reasons):
The Beginning After the End, Return of the Mount Hua Sect, All Hail the Sect Leader, Top Tier Providence: Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years, Tales of Demons and Gods, and The Beginning After the End.

Imagine meeting someone who not only has a giant crush on your girlfriend but even a necklace of her...
